Culture, in MY politics?? No, no, I need to pretend all people are the same and want the same things I do, if I have the context of culture 🤢 I might have to consider people have valid perspectives I don’t share!! /s if we do that here

Almost like different countries are unique with unique people, places and problems… but that seems to be a nuanced idea so you’d probably reject it

I think lacking self awareness is a requirement to be a tankie

And people love the no true Scotsman fallacy and constantly throw out that the person isn’t really this or that

It has the same problem eastern Washington has, proximity to Idaho, which is a special flavor of inbred Nazi, plus the downside of bordering other fairly… weird states, like Wyoming. I drove from western Washington to Illinois two years back, with hot pink hair, and I had to cover my hair in Montana because I genuinely felt unsafe, I’m not trans, just a cis woman with pink hair and even that got me all sorts of nasty stares and comments. There’s a strong live and let live culture too, but you’re right, it’s being actively strangled out at this point.

I drove through the same area again just last week, but only to Boulder and back, with my natural brown hair and had a significantly more friendly visit… jokes on them I’m SO much more left now that I was two years ago despite the signs

Montana went to Bernie at least once

Can I have one of her designer handbags? I’m over here with these sewn shut pockets

Gotta make sure Putin gets what he paid for

He should be a paid spokesman for Dunkin’ by now, I see him with it more often than not, it’s like he’s addicted to Dunkin’s specifically

I think Stephen Miller is why this is happening in Gaza

Have you ever seen a bird land on an electric fence or live electric line and be just fine?

He’s at least bi imo

Why tf is the bar “the would country needs to run on nuclear power” or this is a waste? You do realize that good is not the enemy of great right? That moving in the right direction is a good thing… it’s this all or nothing mentality that leaves us paralyzed and ineffective

lol right? Like we are getting another fair election again, but I do wonder how they will keep claiming the left the longer they are in power, it’s a crutch they lean on so heavily, maybe it will just be citizens who are left leaning who are causing it. The right cannot function with out a boogie man

He needs to lose and get tf out of politics, he clearly can’t handle it

Will they hold up little signs? Wear red cause they’re mad? AOC needs to wake the fuck up and realize her party has zero credibility

You won’t be well paid, you will not have benefits, you will be forbidden from unionizing, you will have very little say about the particular job you work or the schedule you’re given. You’ll take what you get or starve in the streets. It’s disingenuous to act like “factory work” will resemble the good factory jobs that currently exist.

Considering they’re working on getting rid of lunch or bathroom breaks this is just a fantasy… is it possible to have decent factory jobs? Sure. Will that be what’s given to you as an option? Absolutely not

This must be prevented from happening, once it becomes the institutional norm it will be so difficult to reverse course

That’s the thing, they don’t care if you work there, they won’t make you, you’ll just starve to death in the street or die from lack of medical care or some previously preventable problem. You likely would never be forced to work but not working will be essentially choosing slow suicide
