    Donald Trump is not living until 2035 under any circumstance, unless we symbolically hold his bloated corpse in a supermax.

      In 2030 his consciousness is extracted and preserved as a neural network by Peter Thiel in a desperate attempt to control the maga movement. In 2033 it is seized by the FBI, uploaded into a SpaceX orbital data center and locked in geostationary orbit, guaranteeing operation for the next 10,000 years.

    The liberal dream. (I use liberal in the classical sense. Here in the US - where people don’t know what words mean - instead of “liberal” folks here might refer to them as “centrists,” “moderates” or “neoliberals.” Interesting that neoliberals are somehow not liberals here in the US, even though “liberal” is IN THE DAMN NAME!)

      Why don’t we just call a politician by how they act and not by what ideology they pretend to have?

        This.

        There are billionaires in the Chinese Communist Party. North Korea calls itself a ‘democratic republic.’ The Reddest US states are also the ones taking the most money from the Federal government.

        Any discussion of political labels outside a classroom is folly.

        What makes you think they’re pretending? Do you think all politicians are ideological nhilisists? That no politician, ever, anywhere, actually adheres to an ideology? Because I’m pretty certain that most do. And I think it matters what ideology guides a politician. I mean, I want to know that before I decide to vote for someone. I want to know what their guiding philosophy is. I think that’s important information.
