President Joe Biden on Friday ordered a historic change to the Uniform Code of Military Justice by transferring key decision-making authorities outside the military chain of command in cases of sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, murder and other serious crimes.

      Hot take, but as bad as rape is - its nothing compared to the systematic fucking that is still running with flying colours both red and blue.

      I’m sure we’ll see a million LGBTQ rights and bike lanes before a single major problem is solved - shit even if the FTC broke up a single super monopoly today I’d be suprised.

      So I mean hey at least one of us is here

        I mean, LGBTQ rights are only “not a major problem” to those who aren’t LGBTQ. But to many they’re absolutely critical too.

        There can be multiple horrifying problems to fix. “All” would be stellar to fix, but “some” is still better than “none.”

          Nah I’m just tired of the constant heatwaves that line our overlords pocket.

          Tbh to put it in simpler terms I feel like were in a sinking ship hand bildgeing out water when there’s an asshole on the other side of the ship ripping out boards for his own benefit - scoop all you want but the problem is never gonna be solved until we look at the root cause. Both red and blue are contributers and will never make a law against those with capital (who had an entire island dedicated to rape??).

          Never mistake the lesser of two evils for good, path to hell is paved with good intentions

      By the recent actions of lefty content creators i’d say that group has almost completely lost relevancy.

      We are seeing a sort of ‘cooling’ of bad leftist politics like refusing-to-vote and all-or-nothing mentality.

      Which is good because if we have any hope to mitigate the worst of climate change for the disenfranchised in our society it’s with the democrats.

          It’s my understanding one of the groups that say democrats and republicans are the same were the Bernie-or-bust crowd that sold their viewers a black pill towards voting, an example would be Kyle Kulinski, he recently spoke on how he loves biden and how biden-pilled he is.

            Those were right wingers though, the were just trolls that were trying to convince the left not to vote so they would win.

              Ahh, i suppose that makes sense, but it’s not like they really needed to considering prior to 2020 voters under 30 turnout was abysmal.

          I was responding to the comment about the people saying democrats and republicans are the same, does no one remember Bernie-or-bust? Those people said both parties are the same, but more recently those content creators are pulling way back from defeatist mentality. It’s a good thing.
