Too many people "a well thanks for voting fascism!"

And, just, my child, the fascism still hits me with the lesser evil. You're just mad I won't sacrifice myself for your comfort.
They have the truest, most conservative plan; Nothing should have changed.
My take on Kevin's thought;
bsky.app/profile/rais...
I think there's something to be said though about Trump's success at engaging and motivating inactive voters. There's a deliberate attempt to find every racist under a rock they can get.

There's also something to be said about politicians/parties that'll forsake voting groups that support them.
If you boycott elections, candidates logically ignore you and focus on the voters they can still get.

There’s a reason pundits keep nudging Dems to a mushy middle. Those folks are idiots, yes, but they’re idiots who show up to vote.

And that matters more to a candidate than your smart apathy.

The Trump regime will drive a car through a crowd, and then arrest you for getting run over.
The indictment accuses Abughazaleh — whose name is repeatedly misspelled in the document — of bracing her hands on the hood of an ICE vehicle that was attempting to drive through a group of protesters

this is how i see people who stand between a car wielded by a fascist and a crowd of innocent people
Don't hate the player, hate the game 🤷 idk what IL law is about residency, buts she apparently meets it
Which swing state do you hold her personally responsible for losing?
Man, she can represent me if she wants if she's willing to be persecuted by clowns like this.

Who gives a shit about her moving status in this case?
"impeding an officer" is as much bullshit as "resisting arrest", which is they use it for a person just existing and wanna scare them into pleading down
There is this weird desire to see, like, aspirational earnestness, and dismiss it as naive or unrealistic.

And I'm, like, "I wanna believe the world I want to create is a happy one!"
I think I'm developing two modes of "casual attraction" to people.

For guys: I could watch them eat in a mall food court.

For women; I could go out for a cuppa with them.

I really want cis folks to understand the situation - trans women face widespread employment discrimination and live in devastating poverty.

Meanwhile, the woman who came in fifth place in a swimming competition, ONCE, makes a million+ a year to advocate for destroying our rights.
If Riley's doing speeches 40 times a year, assuming breaks, she'd be making between $600,000 and $999,960 a year pre-tax. She's a fucking millionaire who has made her entire career of harassing a singular trans woman into exile. I legit thought Lia Thomas was dead until she did a recent interview.
Help Kat if you can!
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.

This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.

I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

My dwarf canon is: drinks, holds grudges
I think one thing that is implied without being directly stated is these types of groups are as much about defining what democratic ideology should be rather than what can win.

They're not there to win elections, but define the boundaries of Democratic policy.
For my newsletter, I took a deeper look at the electoral record of WelcomePAC, a centrist group that produced that 352 page document advising Democrats to moderate once again.

Turns out the campaigns they work for aren't winning. www.burnsnotice.com/fire-the-con...

I'm also just not far enough in to give opinions on conversing with people.

A great feature of BL1 was social skills and some disciplines opening up unique dialogs. But that was probably BL1's best roleplay feature.
Lemme just say, too, this thread is critiques of me playing the game. Not my thoughts of it overall.

I do like the game.

I like the idea and possibilities of blood resonance.

I like the disciplines fleshed out better than in BL1 (Presence was just a debuff ability there)
Starting out with Lasombra and my first remark is this game IS NOT keyboard + mouse friendly.
Played Bloodlines 2 yesterday, and computer did not blow up!
Also annoyed how ability tree is divided by clan and not discipline.

Probably built abilities along the wrong axis there.
Also, I'm early in game so I'm not getting most from blood resonance feature which makes me feel like I'm missing half the experience.
