I know you'd like to think it's about you, but I assure you it isn't.

I've always been interested in the world's going ons. Never had much time for politics really, but it makes for interesting ppl watching
 
one of my bl friends got elected to the Althing (Iceland's parliament) last year i think, as a member of the Pirate party. that inspired me for sure, but i dont have the charisma to be a public official, i'm more suited to working in the background.
 
here ya go. they're progressive libertarians. i dunno if we have a pirate party in the US, but even if we do they'll never amount to anything until we get rid of the 2 party system (which is practically just a 1-party system masquerading as 2 at this point). we need ranked choice voting and proportional representation systems rather than winner-take-all like we have now.
 
^That's unamerican you commie loving bastard! 8)

For real though. I don't know why it's so perceptibly impossible to move to a proportional representation system...
 
maine and nebraska have implemented proportional representation, now the rest of the country needs to follow them. until then, it would be nice if a few more states would pass the national popular vote interstate compact, 270 electoral votes' worth of states need to enter into it for it to become official, then the electoral college will effectively be no more. since they failed on their one, sole, constitutional duty, there's absolutely no point at having it anymore.

We need a Parliament instead of a Congress with multiparty representation! That would be so much better.

Legit criticisms of the Democrats are numerous but they would never support Roy Moore. Ever. Yes it's a very low bar, but the Republicans set it.

Now that the ink ink is dry on that tax bill and Trump's endorsement is toxic (he's still plummeting in every poll, even Fox "News"), watch for the GOP establishment and Congress to use him for fundraising (that tax cut is a wallet opener) and Trump is excited to have more rallies 8), then the GOP will flee and leave him by the roadside. No more legislation.

Even the alt-right is rejecting Trump. Apparently they actually thought there was going to be a wall. :D See link below:

Merry Christmas Eve Blers! :) CD

We will keep the electoral college, and I would support states abandoning winner take all if they chose to.

While I have many reasons, droppers is a major reason (even if I disagree with many of his views)

Unfortunately his influence shows. I was disheartened to see your posts in the thread welcoming Tathra and me as mods.

I hope Droppersneck doesn't make you feel like you have repeatedly pm him and tell him how brave he is to post! :D

But with all props and due respect to your BLer girlfriend who is a teacher, I'll still think of as a cutie! ;)

I'm more worried about the fish tbph.

Big festive shout out to all the kindhearted ones, the (genuine) rebels, renegades, revolutionaries and resisters.

Keep kicking against the pricks and fighting the good fight.

Don't need deets, got em all.

I apologise for my words in your welcome thread and probably should have specified that it wasn't directed at you. Not that it makes it any better.

I haven't ever pm'd him so that's not me he's referring to.

Yea my bl teacher gf is the absolute best. Can't wait to pick her up at the airport tonight. Best Christmas gift I could hope for.

Hope all is well with your cute self.


Hey SJ what is a genuine rebel in your approximation?

Not really, but I've had a few bumps of ket and I had subtle doses of diazepam and phenibut this morning.

A genuine rebel = somebody who takes loads of acid and listens to psy trance. This way you can do whatever you like and it all balances out. I think.

Well that's what I do anyway.
 
^Tis true. Although on a serious note, what psychedelics do is make you rebel against cultural ideology, which happens irrespective of legal status. That's the important bit.

Also, that Orb album (?) would (will) make very nice ket music.
