Property damage is not violence against civilians.

Nik Huber has a great reputation. Karl Longbottom also. Oswald is a great choice too. Taran acoustics, Lowden also of course. That’s just off the top of my head.

Taran makes some really amazing acoustics too.

I remember her from WAY before being VP, and they aren’t good memories. California, late 80s, early 90s. Prosecuting sex workers, many of them trans. The Three Strikes law was the love of her life back when the Senator from Mastercard (how many remember that nickname?) was wasting Congress’ time with steroids in baseball.

Don’t forget when he helped clear homeless camps with the cops.Been garbage since he was mayor of SanFran with an equally garbage DA. Remember those days? I do. Three Strikes disproportionately harmed people of color and sex workers, especially the trans ones, by design.

Planning on international child trafficking this time? Quite progressive abduction policy. Fucking Catholic Buddhist child abusers. How is it they get a pass? “Oh that whole tongue sucking thing was just a joke!” SMDH

Probably two.

It’s obviously not an absolutism, though I think we’d be surprised how many people it covers. Propaganda runs deep in this country and the distorted funhouse mirror that they view the world through is pretty effective. Certainly there are bad actors, but it’s a small part of the whole. Even those on “the left” (in truth they are mostly center right) have a skewed and highly misinformed view of politics. Many people’s hearts are in the right place but their brains are mush and the Overton window is so far right that they can’t tell their asses from a hole in the ground. Generational trauma has created a country of Stockholm Syndrome victims who identify with their captors (the rich). To paraphrase Warren Buffet “It’s a class war and the rich are winning”. Working class unity and class consciousness are the only thing that might save us. I’m not convinced that THAT will happen though, given what I see going on and the response. I really hope I’m wrong.

Never assume malfeasance where plain incompetence will suffice as an explanation.

Gee who would have thought that completely ignoring the anti-war/genocide crowd and courting the CHENEYS “moderate Republicans” while keeping absolutely silent about Medicare for all and touting a “keep America lethal” platform would have backfired for one of the least popular politicians ever who was just anointed as the presidential candidate without any sort of primary at all. I’m so confused!

Middle class is a term devised by the rich to divide the working class. The one thing they fear more than anything is class consciousness.
