It's more likely that the gun control debate just causes a harder Republican swing in 2018, in particular Cruz getting reelected. Also Net Neutrality is guaranteed dead now, a House vote will be quietly withdrawn as the shouting match over guns happens. This is the same shouting match that will prevent debates on single payer healthcare and a $15 min wage as well.

This is really why liberals are the worst, we are getting pretty close making serious progressive reforms into the defining 2018 issue but then everyone has to cry about the shooting they saw on TV. The same TV that didn't report on all the teachers' strikes either.

And a maga tard showed up. If the shooter ends up being another reactionary I wonder if liberals will wake up to the fact conservatism cant be debated and the right will double down maybe even start justifying school shootings as gods divine will.

Note: posted in the other thread before the shooter became known.

Zig Forums is gonna call it a false flag as usual. Even though it was one of their guys.

And I just checked halfchan Zig Forums. Yep, already calling it a false flag, denying he was /theirguy/, claimed he was part of antifa. How predictable.

More likely they'll just say all gun owners are future school shooters like conservatives say all drug users are future drug dealers. The political polarization of society and breakdown of consensus will continue until Democrats finally marginalize themselves out of every state government. Such is inevitable when class consciousness dies.

Or in other words liberals will realize that conservatism can't be debated so they'll just join it with their own stupid attempt at it with different wedge issues. There Is No Alternative, at least until capitalism folds in on itself.

Reactionaries always stealing subversive/critical symbols to use in autistic ways

What is so subversive or critical about vaporwave?

watch vaporwave be listed as a hate symbol like pepe is

Generally speaking as an art movement it showcased the vapidity and hollowness of consumerism.

Good post

yeah, the original vaporwave shit was pretty cool, but like many cool things made with a leftist tone to it, it was reapropriated and ruined by nazis.

Midterms are too far away to make an impact. 2 weeks from now trump admin will say/do something retarded and will all forget about guns. This all depends on how close the next mass shooting is to early voting.

WORLD IS A FUCK

better than them reflecting on their ideology, i guess

Primaries happen over the next two weeks. Democrats might elect candidates based on their gun control position putting themselves at a disadvantage in November.

Case in point: the PA assembly candidate who burned an AR-15 with gasoline in a video. That sort of activity is like poison to independent voters, especially ones who are skeptical about Democrats in the first place and narrowly voted for Trump in the last election. Admittedly he's just one person but this sort of shit gets blown up and made into the party's casus belli which confirms every stereotype Republicans label Democrats with, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

And again this happens less than 24 hours after Democrats score a major victory in passing a Senate NN bill, forcing a House vote that would otherwise prove decisive (either it gets rejected and becomes a campaign issue or it's sent to Trump for a signature).

Jesus, its a shame the cops didnt kill.this cringey faggot

The problem with your logic is that it implies independents are going to vote in the first place. Republicans are polling terribly with independents, meaning it's more likely they'll stay home than vote GOP.

"Independent" is American for "Progressive" which is NuSpek for "Social Democrat."

Midterms tend to have lower turnout in general, which favors Republicans as the average voting age is slightly higher than normal. I see no reason why this won't happen in 2018, especially when Trump is being Israel's best friend forever like older voters demand he does. Democrats can of course push back with labor, min wage increases, and single payer but those policies are drowned out by the media's 24/7 fixation on guns, the president's prostitutes, and Iran.

The best is they made it hours after he was already in custody. They aren't even trying anymore, lol.

Trump himself is basically a senile version of Thanos.

ouch

In part because there's no voting holiday, and people are all at work, or so miserable from work that they forget or neglect to vote.

And additionally, it might basically be useless for them to vote anyway, because the Rs/Ds have fucked up their districts, or have otherwise fucked them.

Why are you acting surprised?

Well it's a Friday we were due for a Trump fuck up, school shootings are scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Thank god, I was getting worried that something was seriously wrong in America when I didn't hear about one for a couple weeks

Bets on what gets blamed for this one?

well pol is already starting a fake narrative to blame the left

He's a succdem lol. Lula likely stole some cash in his second ruling, not that it matters. He was still the best president Brazil ever had. If this news about him running from behind the bars is true, then fuck it, Lula2018.

Thing is though, he can't take the presidential oath so whomever he picks as VP will actually be president. Could mean something good.

Ironically, right wing politicians who do the embezzlement of public money towards child school lunch, people who support reactionary dictatorships, all of those rarely get arrested. Lula running while being in jail is indeed quite romantic.

I wish it did. Whoever he picks, he/she won't have the balls to incite a violent revolution. Anyways, Boulos2018.

Ead da fuggin fallafel :DDDD

Okay. I'm curious. What are the Sadrist Economic policies, and are the social policies as bad as a google search makes them out to be. I found very little positive on an initial search, but we all know that could just be English bias..

I cannot find much on him, however if his actions are anything to gomby he has suddenly turned away from institutional islamism and Iraqi deconstructionism: instead favouring a national, secular iraqi state. Why this has happened I have no idea, but he didn't get into bed with the communists to form a shiite splinter republic.

I only see Saddam 2: red tide coming out of this. It's obvious Iraqis are fucking tired of American involvement in their country, the only things they'll tolerate now is some mix of nationalism and socialism. I'm guessing Sadr leans more into the latter since ISIS is the ultimate example of the former.

Let's see how long until Israel cries about this and threatens to bomb Iraq, a move that would prompt an ISIS resurgence.

INSHALLAH

Iraqis have gotten nothing but shit shoveled in their face since Saddam was ousted. This guy is looking at creating a new Baathist type regime older voters will trust. Or such is my guess. Figure that nobody in Iraq has any reason to trust America since America not only killed half the country in a civil war but then immediately moved to back Kurdish secessionists who are still very much alive and will break off if the Iraqi government does not stop them in a manner comparable to Spain and Catalonia.

It's a stupid, godawful mess of a situation that could have only been created through decades of retarded American foreign policy. All those bombs dropped, all those soldiered killed, all that money burned just to have a red Iran-positive regime be built. You want to know who's really unhappy with this? Israel. Watch Bibi over the next few months, he'll probably do something stupid that fucks up Iraq's stability especially if he bombs Iran.

poetic justice

It's poetic until America gets ass fractured over it and supports Kurdish secessionists. At this point America would be fighting the very thing it created, and the thing it created would be more or less allied with Iran.

I can't think of a stupider set of circumstances, it just blows my mind that America's military-industrial complex let this happen. Maybe they thought the Iran Deal would have glazed everything over? Either way everything they have done in the region is going to come un-done one way or another. There is no stopping it at this point, either it's America (and Israel) accepting a red tide or America (and Israel) doing igniting another Iraqi civil war.

It's just so fucking stupid. I'm old enough to remember the Gulf War and things have only gotten stupider and stupider as time goes on.
