- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title.

Uh ohhh, the inner circle is shrinking
The people who thought they'd be in the 'in group' once again find themselves in the 'out group' who could have possibly seen this coming?
First they came for the trade unionists.
Then they came for absolutely no one else.
The inner circle is always shrinking, it's part of the fascistic "eternal struggle" bullshit; there's always got to be an enemy.
If Hegsworth wasn't drunk he could have played an Uno reverse and asked the Mormon's who gets in their heaven.
But them fracturing early is a huge boon to the rest of us. The Christian right has sunk a lot of time, efforts, and their daughters into converting our military officers, especially in the Air Force. Not to mention how they go after young politicians desperate for funding.
But trump is co-opting their plans and forcing them early.
If they had another decade or two, they'd likely have their faithful in full control of our government and military, then we wouldn't even have noticed a coup. They'd have just denied it was happening and pretended it was coincidence.
Zionists mutter knowingly amongst themselves in babykiller.
me when dealing with electoralist who thought their ‘in-party’ will once implement issue X find themselves in the ‘out-party’ who could have possibly seen electoralism coming?
enemy of ‘perfection’ propaganda
I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're hinting at with this line
same thing ThePyroPython replied to you. A Democrat or Republican, the in-party will always find a way to outstrip your rights every ballot. You're nothing but a vote for their seats in office.
Unless, I am wrong, and I am speaking to a Senator.
What reaction were you hoping from this comment?
His point is "both sides" even though it's very clearly bullshit here.
What's bullshit about the Electoral College?
Everything about the electoral college is bullshit.
Then why do you keep it?
Because the system allows those few who benefit from keeping it to override all the people who don't want to, by design?
welcome to the outparty.
When are we going to overthrow them?
Reaction? Are we both not progressives?
Are you in power? ’Cause I empower people. Do you?
Empower? You really lost me here
Horizontalidad
You might have to explain that a little more...
Of how Mike Kennedy & Pete Hegseth have more power than you and a religion?
No-no-no, you mentioned you have power? I'd like to hear a bit more about this power?
Have you ever helped neighbors, disabled, the homeless?
Ah yes, this is the power you speak of? Please tell me more about your power?
Yes. Do you not empower people?
Do you? I'm so interested in your power? Please tell me more?
I do. What more do you need to know? If you see a need, do you not intersect?
Intersect what? I'm so curious?
Intersect the homeless, the disabled, my community?
I am starting to feel like you wanted Pete to recategorize those that voted for him, thus consequently whatever you envisioned Kamala would assign, wouldn't do the same to you, the out-party.
I'm sorry, kinda confused by this thought, can you explain more?
How are you confused if you're not Pete Hegseth & Mike Kennedy? Do you hold any power?
Oh back to the power! Yes, explain more about your power!
I hold the power to affect those around me, and the people I solidarity with.
Electoralists yield their power to populists like Pete, Trump, Kamala, and Biden.
What kind of power do you party with?
So interesting! Tell me more?
About how you keep refusing to answer basic questions, thus, you don't see yourself as the outparty, regardless of your vote?
Huh, I'm sorry you feel that way. But please tell me more about the intersect you speak of??
Sure.
But do something impactful than pretend you're more empowered than the Nazis your inparty elected. Otherwise, continue performing.
Wait, wait ,wait, you said you were empowered? Now you say you're more empowered than those others you mentioned?? Now I'm very confused, you might need to explain this a bit further.
Yes, because I refuse to empower populists.
Americans simply can't grasp the idea of empowering neighbors and overthrowing populists. The LDS is learning the hardway what populism does, and you’re not intersecting with them, and empowering them to take action against the populists that betrayed an issue they voted for.
You're behaving like an outparty to your inparty constituents. Time to inparty your neighbors.
Huh, I'm sorry you feel that way, please tell me more?
Yeah, you tell 'em! Louder for those in the back!
Wrong comment🤭!
Go empower electors!
Your college needs it!
Please tell me more about this college?
Nah! You're not my inparty! You refused to vote for me!
Now elect Vance as your deathcamper!
You tell 'em! Louder for those in the back!
Go to the LDS. Solidify over your common outparty. Get the Epstein class out!
