🤮 Chalupa Gordito Hey guys, let's talk politics

🌘 Alana Anyone read this? I think it makes a good case for a type of emergent strategy: dsa-lsc.org/2019/0... > The more we can practice cultivating harmony within ourselves, the more we can cultivate authentic and spontaneous harmony with each other. The more we can cultivate harmony with each other, the more we can cultivate genuine harmony in societal structures.

👤 Gorky Park Wear a damn mask during a pandemic, be able to produce said mask, have a little more federal involvement with dumb govenors orders for COVID, and for gods sake fix the dumpster fire that is foreign policy rn

🗜️ Mx I'd agree with you, but COVID doesn't even qualify as pandemic.

👤 Gorky Park COVID is in a very grey zone for action according to current statistics. Sorta looks like the common cold but more deadly. To avoid political bullshit it is plausibly a nesscessity to fight it as a pandemic (to its end). It would be nice to put a price tag on curing the common cold or at least data for targeting a strain.

🗜️ Mx Less deadly than the Swine Flu, tobacco smoking, traffic accidents, tuberculosis (1.2M people dead in 2018). Take you damn mask down and stop embarrassing yourself!

👤 Niccolo Machiavelli let's! Who in here express their politics by way of wearing / not wearing a mask?

😏 Yt L. I use wearing a mask as a way to express my belief in medical and scientific research. To the best of my knowledge masks are shown to be effective at reducing the likelihood of catching or spreading covid.

🤮 Chalupa Gordito On one hand there's Trump - but on the other hand there's Biden. Two very different men.

👤 Gorky Park They both have more baggage than my last EX. Not marriage material for sure.

👉 Léo Honestly, they are also very similar. Two white men in their 70's. Neither has pledged to stop all wars or reduce military funding, neither has a real solution for healthcare (although Biden's proposal is 1000x better)

👤 John Noble Ben Rhodes' "The World as It Is" should be mandatory reading. I've never been so illuminated to the ways of politics. The playing off of interests to get even the smallest thing done. So when people say "they haven't pledged to end all wars" it's like, yeah. Impossible, I'm afraid.

👤 Mihail Yes, it should be!

👉 Léo Well... perhaps a little bit of wishful thinking on my part. I honestly would have liked to see a more military averse candidate win the primaries. I'll check out the book that you mentioned.

🤮 Chalupa Gordito True. I'd reduce military funding by 25% and funding a new megaproject to completed every 4 years. Also free unlimited garlic bread for all americans.

👉 Léo Libertarians would say there's no such thing as free garlic bread. MMTers would say that it's fine because the US government is garlic bread sovereign so there won't be garliflation. Trump would point out that most garlic consumed in the US comes from CHINA, but wouldn't be eloquent enough to actually make a point. Everybody else would just enjoy the free garlic bread.
