@JasperHawkins8@elonmusk@realDonaldTrump@KamalaHarris Surely that point applies x10 to Trump himself. Why didn’t he fix America when he was president? At least Harris has the defence that she’s VP not POTUS. You’ve also just cancelled out anyone’s case for reelection ever.
@neoavatara Congrats to all the people who know what a stump speech is. But this isn’t the time to be rolling out the same empty rhetoric over & over. Might get away with that at local level but when she’s just been put forward as preferred nominee she needs to show she’s more than a parrot.
The most dire tipping point that exists for America (and for democracies broadly) is when the political parties that exist care more about their own continued existence than they do the united good of the nation state. In America’s case it feels like the two battling political organisms are now fighting their eternal battle in a way that is rapidly killing the host.
Mirroring this, I’ve noticed that many of my peers seem to have a *much* stronger connection to their blue or red affiliations than they do America. I fear this is way more dangerous than it appears.
It feels like this is a byproduct of being too far from fighting together as one unit for survival / prosperity for too long. The eye that used to focus on external competition has turned inward, and we are no longer a team.
I fear that America will lose unless we find away to realign to put the good of the nation above the actions of either political party. America isn’t perfect but it’s by far the best place one earth, and I don’t think many people realize just how much we lose if we allow our system to crumble.
if I was a male #bbcpresenter who happened to have holiday booked from tomorrow, i’d def be cancelling it right now and asking if I could come in to work.
@ContactKingston I don’t think the temporary traffic lights on Hampton Court Road are working. Is that under your remit? Traffic flows one way but not the other. Drivers have to go through red as light never changes.
@ContactKingston yet again someone digs up part of the one way system and seems to have no urgency about finishing the job. It effects thousands of people - 1000’s of man hours lost every day. Surely increasing workforce/ hours would help.
@Boo_Who77 @yesmam67 @JamesMelville@elonmusk Okay this is getting nuts now but let’s go with it… If there’s a nice big tree they can fly into then yes. But where is that tree on Twitter? Everyone’s within a swipe of everyone else’s claws.
@jeannie_mcn@JamesMelville@elonmusk I sincerely hope you’re right. History just doesn’t give us any good examples of this. Seems for now at least we’ll all be free to call each other pedo’s without any justification or recoil.
@Boo_Who77 @yesmam67 @JamesMelville@elonmusk Maybe the cat is outside the cage, but by opening the hatch we allow the bird the freedom it deserves, and the cat has the freedom to eat the bird. Can’t wait to see those cats free to spread hate on twitter in the name of free speech. Oh joy.
@aweyher@JamesMelville@elonmusk How likely is that? The ‘authoritarians’ were, in their eyes at least, keeping things neutral and fair. How neutral and fair is one friendly looking billionaire with a history of calling strangers ‘pedo’ likely to be compared to 1000 ppl of varied backgrounds and upbringings?
@ArtManDigital @JamesMelville@elonmusk Who’s the ‘we’ in ‘we’re’? It’s not down to you and me. It’s one guy. Much as you may trust him, that’s the very issue.
