1/3 normal election with new candidate 1/3 trump dies for whatever reason, probably choking on taco bell 1/3 fascist takeover (though the term “president” may not apply, and it may not be him running things). I think enough dems would flip if threatened with terrorism charges for normal politics being interpreted as protest or whatever other laws originally made in reaction to far right acts of terror.

So imo, 50%, mostly because we have 4 years of extremely uncertain change that can occur.

Maybe instead we could put those resources towards restoring the lives of the victims instead of the punishment of the sentenced?

A punitive system leaves the victims out cold where the only solace they can hope for is that the person responsible is punished appropriately.

A better one might provide mental/physical healthcare, social support, and an option for a direct role in the reconciliation process for the victim and their immediate family/household.

I just don’t see how “justice” can be achieved when everyone has paid in and all we get for it is someone locked in a cell or murdered while the people they wronged haven’t seen an ounce of support.

Maybe we should be less focused on making more people, and more focused on enabling living people to work together to meet each other’s needs?

People will have children. But the only thing that pushes the nationalistic desires to have a positive birth rate is the zealotry around eternal 3%+ growth of financial product. That needs a growing consumer base.

We could be achieving an economic degrowth while simultaneously increasing the standard of living. Instead we have tech billionaires, a venture capitalist class, and a war on women’s(as well everyone else’s) bodily autonomy.

Never. Christmas time should be cold af, dark for most if not all of the day, and in deep snow.

Ok. I’m still going to omit it in the future.

Shit that’s how you grammar!?

In my mid 30’s. Find myself thinking the same. Also when I’m feeling great it’s “there’s no way i could be enjoying this if i had to worry about kids”
