I really hope the school board doesn't get taken over by the right wing nutjobs that are running. One definitely will get in because he's running unopposed. We also had a couple of city specific tax increases to vote for.
ETA: Most of the city council was up for election, just not my district.
Also, this board is slow as shit. We've lost a lot of engagement of the past two years. Comparing the Hamilton threads to now is laughable. It just shows how often she's checking in here, aka hardly ever.
Speaking of Buck, he testified in the CO 14th amendment case today. Apparently he had approached McCarthy about being in the Jan 6 committee and was denied.
I have been staying out of this thread, because of the drama with various posters, new screen names, etc.
But. I’m really fucking tired of being told that supporting a ceasefire is supporting Hamas and is akin to supporting the Oct 7 massacre. I’m also tired of the delusion that killing every member of Hamas would achieve anything of meaning or value when we still have the exact same circumstances that led to the rise of Hamas in the first place. Do people really think that if we get rid of Hamas, they will just be a vacuum there that won’t get filled?
In the US it's shameful that we haven't learned from the experience of the war in Afghanistan. Almost 20 years of war. Hundreds of thousands of people killed, and the minute we withdraw the old power returned full force. It was all for nothing.
What is your end goal here? Are you just endlessly going to create new accounts every time you're pushed thinking we don't know you have a new account?
