So with Trump destroying the department of education, school vouchers only going to rich families, and the scaling back of child labor laws in red states, I want credit if/when it’s clear the GOP is using access to education to create a caste system
@cmclymer Because they want children to fill that role in the workforce. That’s why bills like this keep popping up and the GOP on the state level are trying to damage public schools and funding (ie TN “School Choice” vouchers)
@wordpower2018@CaptainCanady@tify330 Ignore them. They have a real hang up on national attention, as though that’s a virtue in and of itself and are too much an ideologue to realize Platner will cost votes nationally
If I could create one Tartarus style punishment for someone, it would be to make Ted Sarandos live in this room with nothing but a stack of VHS tapes so he can suffer the “lower quality on a lesser screen” fate he inflicts upon us all

@notcapnamerica I like Kryptonite as much as the next guy, but I’m pretty sure 3 Doors Down would be touring with Kid Rock and making music for ICE recruitment ads
@CaptainCanady@tify330 “We should limit our avenues of attack in service of the Nazi tattoo guy because effete leftists think he looks like he does manual labor, which we fetishize” is just bad politicking lol
@CaptainCanady@tify330 A lucky break for Platner. But we still can’t attack Paxton over it, which would be helpful since they’re trying to litigate Talarico’s Christianity
@Lemommeringue The White Mountains are a two hour trip up north for me and incredible hiking/backpacking. Acadia in Maine. Green Mountains in Vermont. Tons of hills and the Berkshires in Mass. It’s really not a problem
But really, everything about Platner’s campaign (including his wife’s video where she’s walking, not sitting, because sitting would look staged) can be found in a book
@CaptainCanady@tify330 Because we need median voters, a stupid category by every metric, to vote for us. Let me ask, if Tony Gonzalez story broke today, think we could get him out of his? Or would his marriage be between him and his wife and he can’t be held responsible for a mentally ill woman?
@AmyLomasney@mtskullcrusher They were warned for YEARS & chose the demagogue. What happened to personal responsibility? Maybe next time they can accept that trans people are created equal endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness
@CaptainCanady@tify330 Yeah they suck, but I recognize that like Jean Moulin Zelensky had to unite disparate groups to fight the invaders. After the war I hope they’re purged from public life just as the russian shills were
@CaptainCanady@tify330 You’re right that I can’t prove what would happen in an alternate timeline, but in this one Dems have been winning special elections around the country, moderates are out performing progressives, and she has won. Which all speaks in her favor. And we wouldn’t be losing morally
Next time there’s a Nazi group chat, Platner’s tattoo
Next time a Republican cheats, Platner
Next time Mask says Nazis we’re really socialist, points to Platner
Next time a Republican’s internet history leaks, Platner’s past
But at least he’s a scruffy white guy
I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
@CaptainCanady@tify330 I wouldn’t encourage Ukrainians to vote for them, no. And if the Ukrainian government espoused Nazism, of course my support for them would change. Having principles isn’t hard
@CaptainCanady@tify330 Course not, but what’s gained by the national attention? Rob Sand is running a great campaign w/little outside attention. Now we’re turning median voters into cynics who think both sides are the same and democrats have no values and giving groypers a script to run in the future
