If she picks Tim Walz, I will call her Mamala. I will refer to her as Madame President Mamala.

Edit: MADAME PRESIDENT MAMALA

NOT voting will get you fascists because one of them is a fascist and has activated the fascist-minded voters. The other may not be the best, but it’s way better than blatant fascism.

That makes no sense. How is our economic system highly controlled in the US? Corporations run rampant, with scant regulation compared to some places like Europe.

A government’s size being big doesn’t instantly equal less capitalism if that government doesn’t do as much as it could to reel in corporate interests.

Case in point, our government here in the US is big but is controlled by corporate interests to such a degree that despite knowing about human made climate change since the late 60s, basically nothing has actually been done about it. Or how whenever there is any push for even a public option to live alongside private insurance, insurance companies go into overdrive running ads and paying politicians to push back against it so it never gets brought up after an election season.

Capitalism is a system of economics. It can exist with or without a government also existing.

80’s-action-hero-MC syndrome is so prevalent in our culture it’s not even fucking funny.

No, they quit a friendship because I’m not 100% on board with guns. I’m fine with gun ownership and all, but I think we do need some restrictions on who can get firearms, what firearms are available for civilian use, and I’m pretty with strict background checks and stuff. They view those things as infringing on 2nd amendment rights.

I’ve lost friends over it. Like, years long friendships. All because fuckers care more about fucking guns than the people who had their backs through their personal shit.
