America, pick a lane already

One the one hand, we have the culmination of conservative religion and politics, literally the worst possible example of humanity, unintelligent, tribal, full on cult, wreaking havoc around the world. And then at the same time, we have a culmination of sorts of the liberal, science-based democratic way, which is an example of the best of humanity, namely Artemis 2 making a journey around the moon, probably one of the most technically challenging things humans could do.

I wonder if folks will put two and two together and see which is the correct path to follow? I doubt it but hey.

Matter is that the two paths are compatible. …..

Nazi science was backward on many topics, because of racism, among other factors, but rather advanced on some others.

Why arent the these science based democratic ways enacting the 25 th amendment to remove psychopath fascist trump ? Why arent they taking action on climate change? Why to these liberal science based democratic ways people approve increase funding to the pentagon and israel without any conditions?

Liberal views such as the one you post here do nothing for the working class

The lane has been chosen for us, and I think we know which it is.

Cuthbertj says we have free will

I was speaking in general. We have two very obvious strands of American culture on full display at the exact same time. Sure there are republican-lites like the Clintons, Obama, etc. but hopefully the new breed, like AOC, Pete B., and especially someone like James Talarico, can move us back to when liberal democrats did in fact support the middle and lower classes. Unfortunately, I have a sinking feeling these young folks still have the “let’s write a strongly worded letter” mentality instead of the fighting spirit which unfortunately too is what the maga cult likes about Drumpf.

It’s not entirely new. Ask the historian

I’ll find the mark. She says we have had functioning, if not perfect, country, and, usually business, comes in and says, “hey, let’s mess with this, let’s give more money to the people with money” or whatever

I can’t find it. A couple of good sections

23:50 - The 1920s and “Do-Nothing” Congresses

01:02:22 - The Paradox of the American Founding

Heather Cox Richardson is horrible. She says what trump is doing in Iran appears to be a war crime !!! Really ? Bombing schools, hospitals bridges and power stations leaves Heather with some doubt?

She has said nothing on Gaza

Not about this we don’t.
