Of coure he doesn’t always express it the best. He’s Nick Fuentes. He’s going to put his foot in his mouth at least once.

    Fuck Nick Fuentes, but it says a lot that the right and left agree and are so fucking sick of Israel’s influence over our government and getting dragged into fighting their wars.

    I think any party that doesn’t advocate for electoral reform isn’t going to fix the United States.

      I hugely agree that we need electoral reform. But no party is going to make that happen. The best we can do is get electoral reform locally. When enough Americans are exposed to good voting systems then maybe there is a shot.

      The other kind of creepy moon shot is if we all become AI hiveminds. The one positive side effect might be people universally knowing as a canonical truth that first past the post can’t work.

        I’ll put Ranked Choice voting vs FPTP above Campaign Finance as being the root of the problem.

          No, as long as legal bribery is allowed, they will be able to fend off any attempts at reform. You have to remove their ammunition first. Then they can’t stop FPTP, Health Care, whatever.

            If ranked choice was in place, getting the rest resolved would be much more trivial.

      Yeah, it’s only just now entertaining the idea of thinking of a concept of a plan to control damage.

      Anything short of campaign finance reform and a more progressive system than first-past-the-post voting is just going to become a return to business as usual and putting out escalating dumpster fires without any investment in the future.

      To be fair, I don’t think any country can or should be fixed, but this one’s got an especially bad case of corruption that’s stunting it’s political and social growth. There’s always going to be some corruption, but I feel like right now we watching the world series championship of corruption with about 30% of the population zealously cheering it on.

      I’ve seen some racism in my time growing up close, but outright shit like this guy is rare. Why is it that so many of these fools come from there? Kirk was not that much younger than I and grew up like 20 minutes away. Never heard of the guy til the lead up to that day. Just the memes about his gums. Weird they come from a melting pot. Although the blues brothers give insight to the reality that I shouldn’t be shocked by the Chicago suburbs.

        I live in a nearby town. But it’s pretty normal working class Chicagoland. Berwyn has a large Hispanic population. My sister lives there and really likes the town. Strong Indy art scene, local bbq and music joints… etc… no more spire though. They took that down a long time ago.

          Whew! For a minute I thought you guys were talking about Berwyn, PA. That’s a nice town, good peeps. I’d hate having that guy set up shop there.

    What? But, come on guys, that’s the same thing! You can’t just say “Vote Democrat”, that’s no better than voting Republican! After all, Trump said that Harris would have done all the things he is currently doing, so yeah, they are the same. Vote Third Party!

    Nick just needs a big old dick shoved up his… and maybe we will never hear from this idiot ever again.
