    They see the writing on the wall. The younger generations understand technology and are much less hesitant about regulating it.

    In 15 - 20 years the majority of Congress won’t be made up of people who say ‘I don’t understand it but it’s making money so let’s leave them be’ — it’ll be made up full of people who say ‘this shit worked better when I was a kid, let’s go back to that’.

    I think that democracy may be okay. Hear me out. Everywhere I turn I keep hearing that democracy has failed for a variety of reasons that I won’t rehash here.

    What if the “democracy has failed” assertion is meant to dishearten people who would otherwise fight for it? Like, if democracy has already failed then there is no point to fighting the fascists. But, if the fascists have a road map to destroy democracy that relies on little to no resistance from the masses, then convincing people that democracy has failed is a pretty sharp move from a political strategy point of view.

      Are people still talking about JD Vance having sex with a couch? We need to put to bed the idea of JD Vance having sex with a couch. It’s not appropriate for people to think of Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance having sex with a couch. JD Vance has gone on record to deny that he has had bare skin contact with a couch within the last 5 years. It’s absurd that JD Vance was banned from a Cleveland area IKEA after making sweet, passionate love to a KIVIK Sofa Chaise.

      Once again, there is no evidence of JD Vance having sex with a couch. You need to stop calling JD Vance a couchfucker.
