@Pat_Stedman Trespassing during a riot in one of the most secure buildings in the world ain't nothin' my dude.
Not saying you deserved your life to be completely ruined, but this "oh woe is me I did nothing wrong" shit is ridiculous.
@TSloan59@jimgeraghty See this is the problem with Christianity as a social control mechanism, it really does excuse horrible behavior as long as you say you're sorry and say you believe.
Say what you will about the insane fundamentalist Muslims, they truly believe in their moral rules at least.
@bungarsargon Carpet bombing an entire city because of the actions of a small percentage of its citizens doesn't fly on TV in 2026 like it did in newspapers with Berlin in 1944.
Not hard to realize If you don't have a team in the game.
@RepubRepartee@GiveMeADouble@damintoell Haha it did not mandate that, come on.
Anyway neither of us will ever convince the other of anything, we're wasting our lives talking.
Have a good one.
@emzanotti Also, both my wife and I would have our income plummet in Iowa compared to the suburban Philadelphia area we live in. Would probably even out.
@EsotericCD If the relatively sane Republicans I follow were just complaining about California's electoral laws, I would be a lot more sympathetic. Instead, they are all now fully buying into the elections are rigged Trump talking points.
@RepubRepartee@damintoell Changing the law to allow a third candidate would have been shady, but it wouldn't have been a rigged election the way you guys mean.
Many Rs doing the same shady stuff in the South right now btw.
It's all our war now unfortunately. Wish it wasn't so.
@RepubRepartee@damintoell He meant a law change, not rigging it, which is obvious to anyone not in the "elections Republicans lose are rigged because Trump said so" fever dream.
@ManletSupremacy@funnydale@politicalmath LA is not going to vote for a Republican in the Trump era, but they may vote for a Socialist as New York did.
Not complicated.
@politicalmath It's weird this is the moment you chose to become a culty election denier. Dem establishment would absolutely prefer a different outcome, for one thing. Election offices are open for supervision, for another.
@MeghanMcCain It's on the person claiming wild shit to prove that wild shit has merit. It is not on us to prove a negative.
Kindergarten level civics here.
@baseballcrank Raman would be change, just not the change you want.
Also you can really dislike your Dem leaders, but also have an intense aversion to current white nationalist Republicans to the point you'd vote for a dead dog instead. As a Philadelphian you should trust me on this.
