@democraticbear@tify330 So? “Never vote for who you want, it might spook a hypothetical voter from the other party in Arizona?”

@AndrewLivingst2@peakcapitolism Everyone you’ve mentioned has made a movie, including RLM and Willems. And most of them went to some kind of art school.

The war on Iran is a massive, systemic failure of the US political system. No one but the military contracts and Israel fanatics wants it. It's terrible for Americans, for the whole world. Where is the opposition party? Where are the checks and balances? Where is democracy?
Can’t help but think that in Pete’s mind he’s like one of the old “great drunken war generals.” Patton or Grant or Hooker etc. Aggressive, tactful, and at times foolhardy but ultimately talented. When in reality he’s just dumber than dog dick and drunk as fuck.
