The mob action law has two somewhat reasonable sections, but .2 basically means they could charge you with a felony for conspiring to trespass on UIUC property, in other words, if you’re made aware that it’s tresspassing to stay there after disperse orders then you’re committing a felony. Rietz is also applying this rule in a new way just for this. The law was made in the early 90s, sometimes you have to wonder why they make some of these dogshit vague laws, lots of Florida energy.

Cold Ones suddenly looks very politically relevant.

Pedocon theory sure does explain a lot about this administration.

“Faith” is clearly the misunderstanding you have here. You don’t choose to drive on the right side of the road because you have Faith you’ll get home safe, you do it because if you drive head-on into traffic, you’ll die. The “Faith” is that the alternative is worse. Are you arguing that the Republicans aren’t worse? Or that everyone reading your post voting for a shitty third party that does virtually no local elections would have led to a better outcome? We have no Faith the Democrats will do good, that’s why we need to shout at them and improve the party with, perhaps maybe our own membership. Where is that energy better directed oh wise sage?

All of these nihilistic takes never quite seem to address the elephant in the room, which is that it’s easier to score from 3rd base than 1st. You can whine that our politicians don’t place our choice issues as their number one because of money, but ignorance of the party that wants to wind the clock back is looming 100% of the time, so your arguments are moot for people living in reality. Objectively, the best thing you can do for improving the party is to vote in Democratic primaries or run for office. Do you think people like Rashida Talib aren’t doing enough either? It’s funny you mention delusions, as if everyone here is like, “I voted, so I’m done for 2-4 years” while being active on political news. In other words, if anyone is reading your take, it automatically doesn’t apply to them.

There are many lessons to be learned for the Democrats here, I think it’s too early to tell if they’ve learned anything. Yelling at them with constructive advice is still more important than doomering on a forum.

It would appear that what you advocate for would be even more beneficial to the bunches of morons. What’s more embarrassing and impotent than giving up?
