But the libs told me that fascism can only arrive if Trump wins?

Everyone knows this: liberals and conservatives alike. You're yelling at a brick wall.

Shit is worrying. I'm extremely ignorant to the science of infectious diseases, but at least from my layman's point of view, it is extremely concerning how this virus went from exploding across the entire globe in wild animal populations, to now infecting cattle, to then infecting goats in such a short time span... It seems like it is progressively getting worse, and any one of these millions of new infections per day could be the one that mutates just right to be able to hop between humans.

I'm dubious of all the articles stressing the "risk is extremely low, so stay calm" sentiment. That sentiment seems less about giving good advice to make people feel comfortable, and more like a means to minimize panic - which there surely will be if this bug starts hopping between people, and that 50% lethality rate holds steady.

A bird flu pandemic would be less about social distancing, and more about huddling with a shotgun in your basement.

"Hey guys, isn't a little concerning how the vast majority of our politics have been concentrated into a very small segment of the Overton window such that the only real party disparities are an extremely small handful of key issues like abortion and gun rights?"

"Silence, cee cee pee shill!"

Sure dog. Everything is fine. Blame your insecurities on China.

You're weird for wishing rape upon someone. Weird ass American obsession with punishment and vengeance.

The US is begging the Houthis for a timeout.

UBI is pointless so long as there are landlords who can jack up rent. It is essentially a landlord subsidy, and it does nothing to address actual contradictions within capitalism.

Sorry, can you run that by me again?

I wonder who libs will elevate next as their savior senator in coming years, only to be baffled yet again at being betrayed by a member of the US government.

I like to believe all the miners noticed their voices getting super high and started getting giddy.

"All of the millions and millions of people worldwide who are further left than me (enlightened centerist american) are babies".
