This is what gets me. People like the person above have a sense of grievance blown all out of proportion in comparison to the reality of the situation. Yes, I've seen the numbers but i don't think the people panicking about immigration in the US have.

They're literally only less corrupt enough (and not an ounce more) such that they don't get laughed at when they say you should vote for the lesser of two evils.

They have also been deployed against what have been perceived as riots that threaten lives and properties of the individual states.

Yeah, like when they got called up against random citizens in Minneapolis...

Man i don't wanna buy a car made by people who aren't sleeping in a bed. Come on, now.

It being in Oakland makes me more suspicious, not less. That's where the "crime wave panic" is at its strongest.

They were armed. Not all of them but they did have guns.

That's definitely where Anakin is going, at least.

Russians love their redneck engineering.

(The rate of fire might've been lower in this configuration, for whatever reason.)

Sure, unless you want to be really picky. They had better options than Biden, at least. Their failure to develop a new generation of candidates is their own fault, though.

Not that i'm in favor of either of those two, particularly Jill Stein, but i think a slice of grilled cheese could beat Trump. As long as it has a reasonable campaign behind it.

There was a national poll a couple years ago that showed a majority (>50%) of people thought burning down the police precinct in Minneapolis was justified. If asked where on the political spectrum that position was before George Floyd was murdered i bet most people would have said extreme Left (or maybe extreme Right).

The country is, in a lot of ways, more ready to be Leftist than the Democratic Party and the Dems are really bad at capturing that energy.

Biden's arrogance on this is incredible, though of course he's part of the party establishment so that's to be expected. "You aren't allowed to complain about anything and if we don't win this election it's all your fault" is not, it turns out, a winning campaign slogan.
