Since arguing about politics is apparently the new pub, Filthty:

Did you watch Lower Decks, and what did you think of it?

dont most people agree that we need a revolution? am i living in a los angeles/bay area bubble?

voting for biden is not a revolution

i posted in the tv forum about it.

i'd happily discuss it more in depth with you there. don't want to derail the wonderful, fascinating, feel good, discussions we have in here

You are very much living in a bubble.

At least 40% of the electorate will be voting for Trump.

A significant portion of those who vote for Biden will do so because he's not Trump and might make some modest changes, not because they want a revolution.

We aren't anywhere close to most people agreeing we need a revolution, comrade.

I'm sorry you're so angry today.

first of all no way in hell 40% of the electorate will vote for trump. he got like 63 million votes last time. i think that's like ~25% of the electorate. and i think a lot of those people want a revolution. part of trump's platform was how terrible republicans and democrats are. trump ripped the repubs to shreds during his campaign.

in your day to day life, how many people have you ever known who think politicians are not corrupt? i'm not sure i've ever even known any. in my whole ****ing life. but i do largely surround myself with non republicans, non patriotic types. so i do know that i live in a bubble.

but i do play poker with rich republicans, and i'm pretty sure they all think politicians are corrupt. but i don't think they mind because they are the ones corrupting the politicians lol

Dude, your views are your views and you don't need to apologise for them (unless you're Mark_k), I guess it's sad to see the filthy with hope for AOC drowned out by the filthy who listens to BM.

There's a lot wrong with both our countries, but we have to try.

Excuse the lazy phrasing. 40%+ of people who vote will vote for Trump. There will be people on the fringe who want a revolution, but not that many.

Everyone thinks politicians are corrupt. I haven't checked the surveys of public opinion lately, but politicians always rank very low for being respected. That does not, however, necessarily correlate with desire for revolution -- there is a LOT of resignation out there. Why do you think it's been decades since the last mass demonstrations on a level of the BLM stuff?

Anyway, I've been avoiding the thread lately because I'm currently kinda bored with political crap and it's good for anyone's mental health to take breaks. I'm going to watch golf on TV, make tacos and drink beer and I'll leave it to others to change the world while I"m away.

at least we can agree mark k is a horrible human being and that birdman is the real culprit behind all my suffering in life

btw, do brits/welsh say "dude" to each other? or are you speaking american? sometimes if im talking to a brit or an aussie, i will say "mate", but i'd never say that to another american

tacos and beer sound great! but golf is the sport of the oppressor! shame on you!

stories like this do give me hope, and support my belief that most of us think we need a revolution.

President Vermin on his way to DC! j/k, President Vermin is already there...

If most people agreed, we wouldn't be stuck with Biden vs Trump.

my inaugural address

Although personally I wouldn't inject ALL the billionaires: just the ones that don't offer nearly free health insurance to their employees.

Of course, that's pretty much all of them.

as i've aged, i've gotten more conservative

I’m not watching but twitter is telling me that trump announced something about an eviction ban and suspension of payroll tax?

How I got co-opted into helping the rich prevail at the expense of everybody else

The title is better than the article. It's a look at how the country changed so radically in the last 50 years.

Just wait until you grow out of your “guillotine the rich” phase, you might even take up golf.

hmmm... posted that video on my fb, and i got 0 likes

Lol’d, solid work.

thanks booker!

2020 strikes again!



We need a president with rabies.

Odds that Trump is already juiced with an experimental Corona vaccine?

I say 90%.

Yes, I liked it too. Great job. IMO, the hair needs a bit of work.

lol thanks mark! and i cut my hair myself. of course it needs work! lol... but the price was right

i think i might have hurt people's feelings in my video talking about rounding up all the landlords

im friends with a lot of landlords on fb
