Glad to hear the country isn’t wasting resources putting Biden through a test everyone knows he’ll fail anyway
I’m not convinced of this. I’ve heard good arguments both ways and would like a comprehensive cognitive test to confirm either way.
Do you genuinely believe that if Biden did fail a cognitive test, the white house would even admit it?
Democrats have to protect their genocide at all costs. Even if it’s forcing you to deny obvious reality in a way that’s somehow more egregious than Baghdad Bob. This is just pathetic, even for Blue MAGA.

“If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few [concerns], if any.”
You guys aren’t wrong, definitely a genocide. I’m balancing foreign genocide vs potential domestic civil war and/or successful authoritarian coup, both of which seem like a remarkably high probability by my estimation. We’ve got the groundwork in place. The redcaps are ready to rise up and have been for a while now, they just need marching orders and a coherent mass.
I wish to christ this wasn’t the equation I was balancing. But it is. I’m voting for not-gop, which happens to take the form of fucking dARK bRANDON.

lol.
edit: Also question from the back. Why are you voting for a genocide for the sanctity of your right to vote for the person committing a genocide? Is it to make yourself sound like Christ sacrificing yourself for the sanctity of democratic norms which have resulted in the 99% Hitler you’re voting for committing genocide?
There’s no sanctity. Don’t put words in my mouth. If you disagree with me take me up with the things I actually said.
Edit: Oh. Hexbear. You’re not prepared to argue in good faith. Goodbye.
Thing is that Biden has been in office for over three years, and all the trends leading towards the outcomes you’ve noted have only gotten worse in that time.
They’re either not going to respond, or provide a solution which helps Trump (“vote third party”, “Don’t vote!”).
The 2 party system of the US is what’s causing this issue. If there was a way for multiple parties to exist in the US, Biden would have to worry about a non Trump candidate who would advocate for all the similar things as him, while also agreeing that what Israel is doing is genocide.
The reality is: either vote Biden to push for a Democratic president who is slowly moving towards criticizing Israel, or vote for Trump to push a Republican president who would probably be completely fine with Israel’s genocide so long as Netanyahu say’s he’s a nice guy.
Palestinians pushing to oust Biden are either knowingly or unknowingly pushing to have continued genocide under the leadership of a republican president.
Regardless, I feel for the Palestinian people’s frustrations. The US is providing support for genocide, even if the Biden administration and congress are slowly beginning to criticize Israel.
Same solution as people faced under every oppressive regime. Organize, educate, and build a worker movement. You can start reading about how worker movements were organized in US back in 1930s that lead to the New Deal.

They’re not going to be permitted to be organized in any meaningful way. All they’re gonna do is stochastic terrorism and isolated hate crimes. What are they gonna do, institute fascism? We’re already there. That’s why they were handled with kid gloves in the Capitol building, it’s theirs already. Corporations already run both capitalist parties and they’ll manipulate the masses to preserve the status quo. Who would a civil war be between? Who would be permitted by our corporate overlords to organize such a thing? What would their goals be? The real threat of fascism is once we hit the next depression and mass discontent needs to be smothered with totalitarian nationalism.
I mostly agree with you. But this idea of “permission” doesn’t grok. They don’t need legal/corporate permission if they’re being not-so-secretly empowered by the fascist mechanisms you have already alluded to. They don’t need law if their organization is more powerful than (or actively colluding with) the enforcers of that law. If your alternative is overthrowing capitalism, is it such a stretch of the imagination that their solution is overthrowing democracy?
I don’t know where the battle lines would be drawn. I’ve heard people make good-sounding arguments for urban vs rural, but I think the states supporting texas’ border… policy… demonstrate an alarming willingness to defy federal authority. Further, the fact Brandon hasn’t yet recalled them is powerfully suggestive, in my opinion, that he doesn’t actually have de facto command of these units, despite his supposed authority as commander in chief. Further still, this article was incredibly chilling for me to read. We have acted on precisely none of these excellent suggestions since they were made three years ago. I don’t hold out hopeful prospects of a peaceful solution here. The most likely avenue for peace qua peace in my opinion, is probably through a bloodless authoritarian coup. It would be a mistake to allow such an event to take place.
I don’t think you actually believe this.
Have you even armed yourself yet?
Fair.
Don’t forget to make a lot of friends for playing PvP with. In Minecraft I mean.
This title is a bit misleading: it implies that the whitehouse is deciding on not going through with a cognitive test rather than the fact that a cognitive test isn’t expected for the physical exam, unless the doctor is worried and recommends one. The doctor hasn’t recommended one in this case.
