It wasn't an insurrection. The sentiment was "whatever, there's always the next election". And eventually we voted Obama in. That's how the resilience of democracy is supposed to work. A shit hand one election doesn't doom the country for eternity because when people get sick enough of it they can change things and vote differently. That was clearly Gore's sentiment as well when he conceded to keep the country moving.

That sentiment no longer exists. This is different. Conceding is not some patriotic sacrifice to keep the country moving. It is the end of democracy and there is no coming back.

Neither of us really know how things will manifest, but this is not 24 years ago, the stakes are higher and the situation is far different.

SC rulings from Antarctica aren't gonna hold much more weight.

This isn't Bush vs. Gore, this would be an insurrection against democracy and that will be plain to see to the majority of Americans.

In any case, just fucking vote folks.

If SC tries to hand the country over to a lying fascist insurrectionist there will be drastic measures. If they don't respect the rule of law then that's the breaking point where we stop respecting their laws. Biden has insane immunity coverage courtesy of the SC so we can start with some "official acts" of removal and see how all this plays out.

If SC tries to force an illegitimate Trump presidency down our throats there will be hell to pay. Biden might also need to use some of his newly-acquired presidential immunity superpowers and ship the SC to Antarctica to do science research for the rest of their tenure.

More violations of your private lives courtesy of the "we hate nanny-states" party.

Any thoughts on how this compares to Tracktion? That's been my "linux daw" but haven't really tried any others

"both sides" too

E.g.:

Being genocidal racist fascists

Or...

Wanting affordable healthcare for all Americans and therefore being "communist"

How does one choose between such evils?

They are oiling themselves up to ready their bodies for their gun lobby masters. Seek out the greasiest justice and there you will find the Chosen One who will bring further imbalance to the Force.

Lots of "lawless immigrants and anchor babies" in power that should be deported to Venezuela where they belong. Starting with this guy.
