Not exactly T-800s in the future is there?

The only way to really prevent World War II is to prevent World War I and to do that we would need to prevent the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and our own timeline made it pretty clear that he was destined to die that day.

I hate to say it, but I just might watch it.

Nah man they're really doin it this time they pinkie promised /s

Alright for real now I've really enjoyed some of the newer content they've released, but, like, c'mon. They really expect us to get excited over this?

That's like expecting us to get excited about a Minecraft spinoff that's announced immediately following whatever the last spinoff was being shut down.

I agree. I was referring more to how close we came in 2020 to having Trump again.

Then again one could argue the current situation is worse

Yes I know, hence the theoretically.

I'm literally just trying to keep myself sane here

I'm still working on it. I just started Uni so I'm unsure of how to go about it

Hell at this point civil war might be the best case scenario, worst case being they get their way.

That's also true, as disgusting as it is.

I would love to, but what the hell are we gonna do? Starting a new nationwide party is practically impossible and. (Intentionally so, of course)

And as much as we can point fingers and say "the people can fix the two party system" we have seen on multiple occasions that without major election reform that simply isn't the case. Most of the country's voters are older, and as we have seen today and yesterday, most voters would rather not vote at all than vote outside their party's lines. The only reason third parties are even allowed to exist in the US is to either give the illusion of choice, or to spoil elections (as some argue happened in 2000, on top of all the other things fucked up with the 2000 election)

Let's get AOC to run. She'll be old enough next time 'round.

It's clear the "catering to moderates" strategy has been a catastrophic failure. I say we change gears and actually put up a candidate that isn't going to try and "play both sides."

AOC hasn't been afraid to criticize her party's decisions, I think she could take the platform Bernie Sanders took and actually make some progress.

Problem is, the DNC would actually need to fucking cooperate instead of falling into their same old tried and failed ways, unlike they did with Bernie both times he ran. I don't see that happening, and as always, third parties aren't really an option.

Almost anywhere in Europe would be nice, but Ireland sticks out to me.

They're part of the EU, and they primarily speak English, so the language barrier wouldn't be as bad. (though I'd be happy to study Irish/Gaeilge)

As for politics and/or the economy there, I don't know much, but I am pretty sure they haven't elected a fascist who's quoted Hitler.
