Hahaha you guys have great taste in presidents

I legitimately have no idea what so ever what he was trying to say there.

[senri]

Yes. ...and it's Ruprecht. Reprecht is my mutant conjoined twin.

Thank you for the correction. Are you nice to your twin?

No, he's a symbiotic parasite who's always reading my mind.

If people start losing their homes to this shit. We need to 100% start rioting.

We have 13 cases in New Orleans because Trump is a lying piece of shit about the tests. Our city is fucked. I'm actually lucky as a booking agent so far, since everything is cancelled I made $1600 over six days. But hospitality workers crashed the mayor's conference demanding sick pay.

What are we supposed to do? Our livelihood is at stake. AirBNB fucked up the housing market so rent is too high. I live in a neighborhood where in 1989 my apartment cost $300 a month and wages haven't risen. This city thrives because of hospitality workers and we don't have insurance, and we don't make enough money to afford a day off.

What are we supposed to do? How do we cope with this uncertainty? How do we process the fact so many of us might be homeless if we do have to self quarantine?

The Republicans shot down a bill that would protect the worker. If this worsens this should be considered an act of war against the working class. Socialist union workers died to give us the eight hour work day. We need to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask ourselves how much do we care about our country, and how much do we care about our countrymen?

The revolution will not be sanitized, and leftists as a whole need to realize complacency isn't working. Our government is working actively against us. The president fired and never replaced the actual people qualified for this and is instead relying on his son in law. Lying to us about tests. Lying to us about the numbers. Saying he wants the sick and the unsick to stay on a cruise ship because he cares more about numbers than his fellow Americans.

How poetic if this virus wipes out thousands of Americans. When we ourselves are to blame for our selfishness.

Stock market adventures....

The Nexus will assuage your moist cortex Mr. Ruprecht. Your twin and are you one, and both will become glorious to what is true... Don't forget to tighten the body...

I think he was trying to say that you're monkey faced camel soldier.

Yeah this shit is brutal. Our society puts so much value on keeping low wage workers disposable that there's no room for any kind of flexibility in the face of this stuff. It seems clear that the GOP would rather let everyone die or go bankrupt than give up on even the slightest amount of privilege, and the people that support them are so bought into the the fantasy that they would rather die or go broke before abandoning it.

This time, like every time, it'll work for one candidate and not for the other one.

I can't wait to hear from you about how nothing can really be concluded from Joe Biden losing to Trump in the general election.

No ones calling you mad, not me anyway. You are calling me disgusting and dumb for taking what I think is a safer path to a similar end or at least something in that direction. Bernie wanted to be the revolution guy, the all finance is fraud guy. Well that’s his branding choice and it did not work with the voters that mattered. That’s not a scam either, Dems, all of them, even the moderates that won the house, have been moved to the left. Let’s get the WH back, the senate, and keep the house and move things in the right direction rather than the backwards of the last 4.

I don't get it. Why will it be Bernie's fault that his ''branding'' didn't work in the primaries, but it's going to be Bernie's supporter's fault when Biden loses in the general, instead of Biden's ''branding.''

It's been known for some time that a huge part of the population is bernie or bust. If you're so enthusiastic about lecturing people to hold their nose while casting their vote, why don't liberals do the same?

 

[Cajun]

I'm talking about my own community. It's been mostly... less than stellar under the Trump administration. If he wins again, it gets worse. Maybe a whole lot worse. The stakes in this election are not evenly distributed across the board. I don't actually care who people vote for; i've got plenty of friends that likes them some Trump. But it should be recognized that the effects of his policies are disproportionately felt by groups that need allies in order to have agency in our government. If someone decides, after the primary, that voting Bernie to try and sabotage Biden is appropriate, i'd kindly point out that there is a lot of privilege as to who actually suffers the most for that decision.

Out of curiosity, how have the policies hurt your buds?

The biggest and most obvious one was when the DOI took the Mashpee Wampanoag's land out of trust status, and the ensuing court decision that threatens to provide an ingress for large scale termination. They ruled that tribes recognized after the Indian Reorganization Act can't have land held in trust status (which is what the relationship between the federal gov and tribes is based around). That's a huge subject and I won't go into the details here, but it's had asses clenched for a whiiiiile now waiting for the other shoe to drop. There are broad movements across the country to shrink or further compartmentalize trust land, which again is not something I want to slice up on the forum, but it's part of an administrative attitude and policy preference favoring dis-enrollment, private development, and overall retractions of sovereignty. The shift against tribal gaming has been a big blow, and there is a whole lot of money and resources being spent right now fighting legal battles- in particular at the state level- to preserve tribal gaming compacts.Then there's the absolutely grotesque incompetence at the BIE. There was a major shit storm with a judge striking down the Indian Child Welfare Act, which fortunately managed to survive for now. That one is particularly fucked up, and quite honestly boils my blood having worked so closely with tribal children in the system. Things have improved a bit since the GOP lost Congress, but the executive wields an outsized influence over tribal life seeing as the President is directly in charge of overseeing the DOI, which in turn controls the BIE and BIA. And good sweet jesus, tribal healthcare.

If you don't vote for this guy, you *clapping emoji* are *clapping emoji* the *clapping emoji* problem

Well, I'm definitely not voting for him. Not because he sounds like the gears are slipping though.

2020 is turning out to be a hell of a year

Iran/US hostilities
Australian wild fires
Locust swarms
A global pandemic gets Forrest Gump
Stock market crashing
Kobe died for our sins

And we're not even midway through month 3
