    Where’s that crowd? I was told third parties like that have no chance so we have to deal with either setting all but rich white people on fire or giving the rich white people flamethrowers.

      Do you remember the distant past of three weeks ago, when the boring major party was in charge, and only one thing was on fire?

        We were in the middle of a recession, they were providing troops to a genocidal nation to commit genocide, the president pardoned his own family for all crimes past and present, unions were at an all time low in terms of membership and power, wages were fully suppressed, jobs reports had been corrected downward every quarter for the entire administration showing the government to be either incompetent or outright lying about the economy, all while credit card debt, reposition, and foreclosure rates reached peaks not seen since 2009.

        What one thing did you focus on?

          ‘Numbers were down’ is not the same kind of problem as fascism.

          You know damn well which one thing sticks out from that list.

            Which part? Oh right you must be talking about the number of prisoners in the us which peaked under Biden, or the number of border concentration camps which peaked under Biden, or the number of deported immigrants which peaked under Biden.

                A little fire that no one is putting out and a big fire you can’t put out have the same effect.

                It’s still arson. It still kills and destroys. Choosing either makes you a monster.
