You are cordially invited to our TSP Summer Party

Please join us from June 20th to the 23rd for some relaxing times with your fellow citizens and a sweet summer banquet. There will be music and games along the shore, and a table with the fanciest spread of food in the 7 seas for your picking. Feel free to share your artistic talents with the people around you, or a lovely song that you can’t get enough of. Or, perhaps authorship is more your style?

And for those who say that voting for a moderate democrat hurts progressives, I’d say that Trump winning hurts way more, and if we all actually turn out and vote for Biden, he might actually realize how many Progressives voted for him, and hopefully he will shift further to the left after seeing this.

Too many people are very likely not going to recognize the harm that they're doing in this case, They want their progressive candidate except they end up upset because it's 2 non-ideal candidates. Unfortunately, one is very much so worse than the other.

Middle Barael wrote:I agree with you on both points, especially the last one. You did however mention that some of the conservative justices supported that LGBTQ rights bill and the DACA bill, which politically are liberal issues, but they still support the conservative narrative when it comes to the Supreme Court. The Republicans are trying to push he narrative that “the conservative justices are interpreting the law, not redefining it”. By supporting the liberals in these cases, they are actually upholding previous legislation, which helps them politically. The republicans have been claiming that the Democratic justices are trying to push for new laws as opposed to interpreting past ones, and so by voting to uphold the meaning of previous legislation, the republicans are actually secretly doing themselves a favor, as it makes them seem less partisan and more pro-constitution. I saw an amazing newscast video about this, but I don’t know where it was from, as a teacher if mine showed it to me. I think it was from NBC, but they did a way better job explaining it. But if you search for why the conservative justices voted for this, you can probably find it.

One more note, I’m currently listening to music from Alegría (throwback to a past conversation with Verdant Haven) to drown out the sound of Trump’s rally, as I was getting too aggravated by it. I even was yelling at our TV, prompting my family to go watch in another room because they couldn’t hear tRump talk.

I also just got an issue about whether flag burning should be legal (it is legal to burn flags in Middle Barael, but burning property is still illegal of course), and I’m hearing Trump in the other room saying that we should punish flag-burners and flag-stompers with a year in prison. Meanwhile KKK members and the gun-bearing protestors who stormed the Michigan capital are walking freely. Only in America

The state of America at the moment is very poor. I am not sure how we are still allowing hate groups to walk freely while arresting and killing people who are protesting injustices in the system. I have a feeling that the upcoming Millenials are going to be the ones to have to pick up the pieces in a decade. Or less. Who knows how long we can be so divided as we are before it really gets bad. What we're seeing now, I think is just a start.
