Yeah actually you have a point here, I’ve been in this thread so long I forgot it was Obama who was being quoted on the post.
I do maintain that in the list of people responsible for what is currently happening and we should be really mad at today… Trump is way out ahead and Obama is behind about a million assholes who are actively involved in propping up the Trump presidency.
You don’t need to worry about me I spend plenty of time outside and petitioning my government.
I’m just sad to see the top comment on this thread focusing on the guy who left office 9 years ago, rather than the one inciting murders on the streets of MN.
So instead of doing something about it you’re going for whataboutism, we’ll done, whatever makes you feel better about your inaction.
I’ve petitioned my government many times, I’m doing so again in a couple of weeks face to face with my representative.
For the ‘home of the brave and the land of the free’ your really are sounding like an easily controlled pussy.
You want someone to slow walk protesting your government??? No wonder you’re inviting a dictatorship.
When you outnumber their demons 1 million to 1 you’d be surprised what you can do.
They’ll care if they have a thousand of their constituents chanting at them day and night how much they suck and how you want them out.
What would be the difference? Much easier travel to your state representative? Easier to find them? Easier to set up a chat group and organise your friends and family?
We’re still writing books about the alternative option after ~85 years.
You have senators and congressmen, you have mayors and district politicians, you have state capitals.
You go the the first in the chain, their homes and offices with enough people they cannot say no, and you take them with you to the next in the chain with more people.
It’s like you don’t realise what is happening, that you are about to become prisoners at the whims of a string of dictators. To me that would be worth a 42 hour drive and some car camping, but at the very least a ring around and a visit to my district politicians with some friends.
With fascism on the rise we all need to be a little more ‘French’ with our public officials. Those MFers still had the Guillotine until 1981
I’m sorry Americans but there were many wake up calls before this, Renee Good should have been a fucking wake up call! You need to go to your state capitals or to DC and demand the removal of Donald the Cunt.
There is a frugal community, which is close. If you build a Buy nothing community I’ll join in.
I don’t think I ever said they were particularly bad… just stating facts here. The opinion that “every major news channel is like this” however is troubling. All news channels have their influences, you just have to identify what they are and adjust critical thinking accordingly.
A news channel created by the state of Qatar and initially staffed by ex BBC presenters who were paid massive amounts to attempt to astroturf over their human rights abuses and corruption.
Edit: forgot to add, Qatar also imposes censorship on journalism and uses Al Jazeera to push their “truth”. Hence the irony.
I genuinely thought this was satire, never heard of either and have only just started with LibreWolf… now I have more options to research!
Yup - so anyone donating more than $10 a year gets 10 years in prison. Also your £10 is 100% tax deductible, if you don’t earn enough to pay any tax then you get an extra $10 in state benefit if you donate it to someone running for office.
Wouldn’t it be nice for campaign funds to be used for shoe leather, emails and flyers, rather than attack ads on every website and TV station.
at some point you have to realise that the political system is corrupt and money needs to be removed, or you’re only doing what about 100 people want, instead of the 330 million.
It’s so depressing how money influences politics, every citizen should be able to donate $10 a year, and that’s it. No corporate money no PACs, you want to get your message out, you need to actually engage with your constituents on a personal level and earn their support.
Thanks - 22.1 is getting installed today.
It’s also illegal to not release the Epstein files, yet here we are.
