As much as i love Fender and their guitars, there’s definitely ways in which they can improve their instruments and here’s five:

1. Widen the nut holes. Seriously, why can’t i just pick up a guitar and play it, why do i always have to grab my file and hope for the best because your nuts struggle to handle anything higher than 10’s. What if someone learned on acoustic and is used to those strings, has an aggressive playing style like myself and needs heavier strings so they don’t keep breaking them, or just wants to detune to something like drop C, why not just have a nut that can handle 12’s and 13’s instead of forcing people to risk damaging their guitar necks. After all, Strats used to come out of the factory strung with 12-52’s and it’s much easier to play a guitar when the holes are too wide than it is when they’re too narrow, so making this easy fix would definitely satisfy your big gauge players without hurting your delicate players who prefer lighter gauges.
2. Loosen the nut. For some reason, the nut on your average Strat is really tight so it’s hard to get out and especially hard to put back in. As a lefty player, i’d love a nut that i can remove and flip with ease but whenever i try that, the wood above the neck splits and you need a new neck and if the new neck costs the same or more than the guitar itself, then you end up throwing out a perfectly good guitar.
3. All springs out of box. If you’re using a heavier set of strings like Beefy, Not Even, or Mammoth in standard tuning, you’ll definitely want to have all 5 springs on your bridge to anchor it down and if you want a floating tremolo, all you have to do is remove 2 springs. However, Strats only come stock with 3 and to pour salt on an open wound, some newer models only allow you to install 3.
4. Remove backplate. Even without the backplate, it can be difficult to swap strings, so why make it even harder for people to do so. Of course, it’s very easy to remove it once and not put it back on but it’d definitely save money to not even include it on lower end models.
5. Cut out unnessecary parts on non-classic models. Seriously, your average Strat player doesn’t use the tone knobs and only uses the neck and bridge pickups. So instead of having 3 pickups, a 5 way switch, a volume knob, and 2 tone knobs, why not just have 2 pickups (one for neck and one for bridge) and a volume knob for each. This way, you save a lot of money by removing parts people don’t use.
   Do these 5 things and you’ll make your guitars a lot better.

Please stop. Don’t get me wrong, Biden is an awful human being who’s record is horrible but we need to accept the reality that Joe Biden is going to become our president whether you like it or not.

While you might think that staging a coup is a great idea, it isn’t. In fact, you’re raid of the Capitol building yesterday didn’t just Trump’s chances of winning re-election in 2024 but it was also a direct subversion of American democracy, the very thing you claim to support and now thanks to you, many prominent Republicans are considering removing Trump prematurely, whether it be by impeachment or by invoking the 25th amendment.

Also, stop burning bridges. Sure, it might seem nice to go after the political establishment but was it really necessary to go after the entire GOP, including Mike Pence, Trump’s right hand man. If you’re so pro-Trump that you’ll attack anyone who doesn’t live in your fantasy land where Trump won in a landslide, then you’re going to fail in life and you have no one to blame but yourself.

Not to mention, Trump isn’t even the anti-establishment outsider he promised to be. In fact, he’s an even bigger swamp creature than many members of the political establishment he claims to despise. After all, George W. Bush never had the Saudi government funnel him money through his hotels and Barack Obama never used chemical warfare against his own citizens so he can take a photo shoot at a church with an upside down bible.

So unless you want to be seen as barbarians, please accept that Biden will be sworn in on January 21st 2021 and move on with your lives.

There’s been this false conception for the longest time that liberals and leftists are the same. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Before we look at the similarities and differences between the 2, we first have to define the terms, which would be problematic on it’s own since both ideologies can be used to refer to a wide range of people, so instead we’ll have to list each main subset.
In regards to liberalism, there’s 3 main ideologies to look at:
Classical liberalism is a right-libertarian ideology that seeks to maximize both social and economic freedoms while having a limited government solely to protect those freedoms. Prominent examples include Jon Stossel, Jacob Hornberger, Penn Jillette, Jo Jorgensen, and Seamus Coughlin.
Social liberalism is similar to classical liberalism but prioritizes social freedoms over economic ones and believes that taxation is a necessary evil needed to fund public goods like police, military, healthcare, and a social safety net while still favoring free market capitalism. Prominent examples include Gary Johnson, Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Carl Benjamin, and Hunter Avallone.
Neoliberalism is a right-corporatist ideology that seeks to maximize one’s profit and uses classical liberalism as a base to do so. Prominent examples include Ronald Reagan, Nancy Pelosi, George Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Ben Shapiro.
As for the left, they represent a wide array of ideologies that are united by their distaste for capitalism.
On the center left, they don’t want to completely abolish it but they want tight regulations on the free market and believe that the government should use taxation to pay for anything that’s in the public’s best interest, even unecessary things like college and elective procedures.
However, the far left supports the complete abolishment of capitalism and seeks to replace it with a system where wealth equality is forced and everything is equally spread among the people.
But for this video, we’re only going to be looking at classical liberals and social democrats, as the former is the only true form of liberalism and the latter is the most popular form of leftism.
With that out of the way, let’s look at some issues to see where liberals and the left agree and differ:
Abortion:
Both liberals and the left tend to agree that abortion is morally wrong but should remain legal. However, liberals believe that it’s up to the mother to fund her own abortion while the left tends to believe that abortions should be funded with tax dollars.
Bailouts:
Both liberals and the left oppose corporate bailouts. However, some liberals oppose ALL bailouts, whether it be for Bill Gates or the guy struggling to pay rent whereas other liberals side with the left, who argue that individual bailouts are compensation for the period of time where the government prevented you from working.
Death Penalty:
Both liberals and the left oppose the death penalty because they believe that the government shouldn’t have the right to take away another person’s life, although some on the left instead argue that the death penalty’s only wrong because it leaves the potential for innocent people to be executed.
Drugs:
Both liberals and the left support ending the war on drugs. However, while liberals want to legalize drugs entirely, the left’s divided between that or legalizing marijuana and decriminalizing the rest.
Environmentalism:
While liberals are divided on the science behind climate change, they all agree that corporations do a better job at taking care of the environment when there are no environmental regulations in place. Meanwhile, the left takes the exact opposite position and argues that we need to do everything we can to protect the environment, even if it inconveniences individuals.
Free Speech:
Liberals LOVE free speech. To them, free speech is the basis of a healthy democracy and if it’s taken away, will create a totalitarian dictatorship. However, some on the left believe the exact opposite and support “hate speech” laws that they believe will prevent the rise of a totalitarian dictatorship.
Gun Control:
Liberals are opposed to any regulation on firearms because they believe that even the most basic of gun laws can lead us down a slippery slope to fascism. However, the left’s divided, with some going in the exact opposite direction and supporting a total gun ban but most just wanting to ban assault rifles and fix all the loopholes that would help a criminal legally obtain a weapon.
Healthcare:
Liberals believe that all taxation is theft and therefore believe that healthcare should be left to private charity and the free market. However, the left believes that healthcare is a human right and should therefore be funded with tax dollars.
Identity Politics:
Liberals despise identity politics, as they believe that all people should be treated equally. However, some on the left believe that women and minorities are so oppressed that they should get special treatment to make up for it.
War:
Both liberals and the left agree that war should only be used when absolutely necessary as a last resort.

It looks like we’re screwed either way, with a close race between Mr. Krabs and his opponent Mr. Magoo and while the DNC and GOP pretend to hate each other, the truth is that the DNC and GOP are nearly identical (only differing on cultural issues) and their enemies are those who stand in the way of their corporate duopoly.

This is why we need a 3rd party candidate in 2024 to rise above the rest and that’s where Tulsi Gabbard comes in.

As a strong independent woman who isn’t afraid to criticize the Democrats, she’s the perfect candidate to continue Bernie’s legacy while also destroying the corporatist duopoly.

The plan’s quite simple. Tulsi will seek the Democratic nomination. If she or a candidate who holds similar views wins, then all we have to do is sit back and relax. However, this is the same party that nominated Hubert Humphrey with only 2% of the popular vote in 1968 and fought tooth and nail to make sure Hillary beat Bernie in 2016, so she’ll probably lose to a corporate candidate like Kamala Harris or Andrew Cuomo.

In this case, she’ll pull a John Anderson and run as an independent. Then she’ll pick Libertarian Justin Amash as her VP in an attempt to create a libertarian/progressive alliance and then get as many 3rd parties as possible to endorse her.

After that, she’ll have to widen her fanbase as much as possible and also get as many endorsements as possible. This means attracting paleo conservatives, classical liberals, social democrats, independents, and anyone else who doesn’t align with the political establishment by focusing heavily on social issues and foreign policy, while still letting the world know that she supports Medicare for all and a living minimum wage.

If she does that, she’ll get on the debate stage (where she’ll crush the competition) and can potentially throw the election to the house.

If you have any better ideas, please let me know in the comments.

From the birth of sound film to the end of silent cinema, there were 7 steps taken along the way.

First, we have the written score. While it may seem weird to refer to a film with a written score as a sound film, the sheet music does show exactly what the artist wants you to hear while you’re watching the film so in a way, films like Birth Of A Nation do have sound accompaniment, it’s just that you need an orchestra to get the full experience.

Next, we have the synchronized score. These films have a synchronized score and sound effects but no dialog. The best example of this is Don Juan, which many consider to be the first feature length sound film with commercial success.

Then, we have the studio dialog. These are films without any live dialog. However, there’s an audible voice (whether it be singing, crowd noise, or even dialog) that was recorded after the fact. A great example of this would be F.W. Murnau’s Sunrise, which was filmed with sound in mind. While there’s no live dialog, there’s some crowd noise and in one scene, you can clearly hear a series of drivers yell “get out of the road”.

This method was also used well after the silent era to add narration to previously released silent films, like The Gold Rush in 1942 and Haxan in 1968.

After that, we have the part talkie. However, there’s 2 types of part talkie.

First, there’s the more common goat gland. This is when you’d add a few talking scenes to an already finished (or sometimes already released) silent film to get more people to watch. Some films like The Iron Mask pull this off very well but it generally just felt like unnecessary filler.

Then, there’s the less common intentional part talkie. A well like example of this would be Weary River, where there’s a decent amount of talking and silent footage.

After that, we have the nearly all talkies. These are films that have no title cards but use silent footage in areas where dialog isn’t needed. The best known example of this is Alfred Hitchcock’s Blackmail, which he originally shot as a silent but was then asked to convert into a part talkie. Since he thought the idea of a part talkie was ridiculous, he instead reshot most of the film for sound and carefully added some of his silent footage in areas where he could.

Finally, we arrive at our destination of all talkies.

Back in the day, an album simply meant a collection of 78 RPM discs bundled together, at least in musical terms. However, that all changed with the invention of the LP in 1948. Now you can hold up to 45 minutes (and even longer) on a 12 inch disc.

However, 12 inch discs were reserved for classical albums while pop albums were issued on smaller 10 inch discs, typically having 8 tracks (4 per side) and a runtime of approximately 20 to 25 minutes. While this seems like an EP by today’s standards, this is what an album looked like back in the late 40’s and early 50’s.

Of course, pop albums got bigger and bigger (in big thanks to Frank Sinatra’s 1956 album In The Wee Small Hours) to the point where 10 inch discs were mostly used as a novelty. By the 1960’s, albums had anywhere from 10 to 14 tracks (5 to 7 per side) with a runtime of approximately 25 to 35 minutes with EP’s typically having 4 tracks (2 per side).

However, that all changed in 1967 with The Beatles. You see, when it came to releasing Magical Mystery Tour, they had too much songs for an EP but too little for an album. Of course, Capitol solved this in North America by tacking on their 1967 singles onto side B but that’s not something Brits like. In the end, they eventually decided on a 19 minute long 6 track double EP, which would’ve been an album by 1948 standards but isn’t by 1960’s standards.

Sadly, that was only the start, with a variety of albums, such as Brian May’s Star Fleet, Alice In Chain’s Jar Of Flies, and Maroon 5’s The B-Side Collection fringing the line between EP and album.

So how do we determine what’s an album and what’s an EP?

Well, the Grammy’s state that an album must be at least 15 minutes with 5 distinguishable tracks or 30 minutes with no minimum track requirement while the UK Album Charts state that it must have at least 5 tracks or last for more than 25 minutes and Australia states that it must have at least 6 tracks or last for more than 25 minutes.

Screw the non-American definitions, since a collection of 5 second ringtones would be considered an album.

Of course, the American definition means that many releases referred to as EP’s are actually albums.

As some of you may already know, i love guitars. And when i say love, i mean LOVE guitars.

Whether it’s a nylon string strumming chords on a gentle pop ballad or a distorted king V loaded with EMG’s playing a super fast thrash metal solo, the guitar is one of the most versatile instruments, only challenged by the piano and drums.

However, nothing quite says guitar like The Beatles and today, i will be talking about my top 10 Beatles guitars.

10. Epiphone ES-230TD Casino

Probably the most iconic guitar of The Beatles later career, as well as Paul’s solo career. This guitar is a hollowbody that feeds back a lot.

Paul originally bought a 1962 model in late 1964, around the same time he bought his Epiphone FT-79 Texan (the acoustic he used on songs like Yesterday and Michelle). He quickly put this guitar to use on many songs, including Ticket To Ride, Drive My Car, Taxman, and many more.

Then, John and George bought a pair in early 1966. While George also went for a vibrato, John instead opted for a trapeze tailpiece. Contrary to popular belief, these guitars weren’t initially used in the studio that often, only being used on a handful of songs before 1968. However, John started using his frequently when they were recording their self titled double album and kept using it until around 1972 when he switched to a Gibson Les Paul Jr. modified with an extra pickup in the neck position.

9. Gibson SG Standard

Around the same time John and George bought their Casinos, George also bought himself a 1964 Gibson SG Standard. With it’s double cutaway design, dual humbuckers, and easy access to even the highest frets, it’s easy to understand why George would want such a guitar.

After playing it live at the 1966 NME awards, he used it frequently on Revolver, as well as both sides of their Paperback Writer single.

However, he took a break from the guitar after that and didn’t return to it until 1968 where he used it on Across The Universe, Lady Madonna, and Hey Bulldog, as well as a few tracks from the white album.

In 1969, he gave it to Pete Ham of Badfinger, who used it on many songs, including their 1970 hit No Matter What.

8. Fender Esquire/Telecaster (Esquire is Telecaster without neck pickup)

In 1967, Paul got a Fender Esquire, which he used on a few songs, most notably the lead guitar on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Then in late 1968, George Harrison got a custom made Fender Rosewood Telecaster, which he used throughout their last 2 albums.

7. Rickenbacker 325

One of the first Beatles guitars, John originally bought a 1958 model, which he refinished in late 1962 and used throughout their first 2 albums. Then, shortly after their performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, he got a 1964 model, which he used on their next 2 albums.

However, with the exception of Bad Boy and Dizzy Miss Lizzy, he stopped using the guitar in the studio after 1964 and used it exclusively live in 1965. Sadly, the guitar had serious tuning issues, so John stopped playing it altogether after their 1965 US tour.

Then, John returned to his original 1958 model (now sanded to it’s original natural finish), which he used on Yoko Ono’s Walking On Thin Ice.

He also had a 12 string model, which he used on Matchbox and Every Little Thing.

6. Rickenbacker 360/12

A 1963 model originally intended for John, George took this guitar and used it on many songs including A Hard Day’s Night, I Should Have Known Better, If I Fell, You Can’t Do That, Eight Days A Week, What You’re Doing, and Ticket To Ride.

Unlike most guitars, this has 12 strings, giving it a very distinct sound that defines their 3rd album, A Hard Day’s Night, where he used it the most.

Later in 1965, he received an updated model from 1965, which he used on If I Needed Someone and Here, There, And Everywhere, as well as live performances of the former.

5. Gretsch Tennessean

While originally bought in late 1963, George didn’t regularly use this one until Beatles For Sale, where it was used throughout. He also used it on Help! and live throughout 1965 but after their 1965 US tour, he stopped using the guitar.

4. Gretsch Country Gentleman

This beautiful double cutaway hollowbody was used by George, first a 1962 model on She Loves You, I’ll Get You, and almost every track on With The Beatles.

Then, he got a 1963 model, which he used on Can’t Buy Me Love, Long Tall Sally, Slow Down, Matchbox, I’ll Cry Instead, Things We Said Today, and When I Get Home, as well as most of their 1964 live performances.

3. Gibson J-160E

When you think of an electric acoustic guitar, you usually think of an acoustic guitar with a piezo hidden under the bridge AKA an acoustic guitar with a microphone attached to it. However, Gibson actually used to make a real hybrid, with their J-160E.

After their first session with Ringo Starr, they bought a matching pair of 1962 Gibson J-160E’s, which they used throughout their 1st album.

They also used them amplified many times, such as on their first hit single Please Please Me and it’s B-side Ask Me Why.

However, John’s was stolen, so he had to George’s on their 3rd album, as well as a few tracks on their 4th.

Fortunately, John was able to get a new 1964 model, which was used on tons of songs.

However, George stopped using his in 1967, although John did use George’s guitar one last time in 1968 to record the electric rhythm guitar for I’m So Tired.

2. Gibson Les Paul

This beautiful Cherry Red 1957 Gibson Les Paul was gifted to George from Eric Clapton in August 1968. He first used it on Not Guilty and quickly fell in love with it, using it throughout their self titled album and after taking a short break from it, used it throughout their swan song Abbey Road, most notably on Something, where George plays one of the greatest solos of all time using his Lucy while the orchestra’s simultaneously being recorded.

1. Fender Stratocaster

Rocky. When you hear that name, you typically think of the tough guy, the guy who doesn’t quit without a fight and while you might not think of a light blue guitar with a rainbow painted over it, this Rocky doesn’t quit either.

In early 1965, John and George asked their roadie Mal Evans to get them a pair of Fender Stratocasters. So he came back with 2 from 1961 in a rare Sonic Blue.

While never used live, John and George quickly fell in love with these guitars.

Initially, George only used the guitar for overdubs. However, with the exception of George’s 12 string on If I Needed Someone, every electric guitar part on Rubber Soul that was played by John and George were recorded using these guitars, most notably Nowhere Man, where they played the solo in unison. They also used the Strats on Day Tripper, where they each recorded an additional guitar part.

Sadly, the guitars weren’t used as often on Revolver but they can be heard, most notably on Taxman, which was chosen to open the album.

When they returned to the studio to record their masterpiece Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, George’s strat made a comeback. After this, he re-painted it and it made it’s first public appearance on the TV performance of All You Need Is Love.

After that, it was used throughout the Magical Mystery Tour EP, as well as many other tracks recorded that year and was also used on a few White Album tracks and kept being used even as late as 1989, where it was used on Tom Petty’s I Won’t Back Down.

With police strangling innocent men to death and people burning shit down like it’s the apocalypse on top of a pandemic with hyper authoritarian stay at home orders, it appears that our 2 party system has failed us.

When we think of American politics, we typically think of the neoconservative Republicans and the faux liberal Democrats but these 10 folks decided to stick out their middle finger to that and run as a 3rd party.

10. Gary Johnson/Jill Stein.

The 2016 election was a living hell with the 2 main candidates being Wall Street cocksucking Democrat Hillary Clinton and conspiracy loving edgelord Republican Donald Trump. However, there was also Gary Johnson of the Libertarian party and Jill Stein of the Green party. While these 2 candidates were infinitely better then the 2 main options (even with Gary not being that smart and Jill being besties with Putin), Gary only got 3.28% of the vote while Jill only got 1.07%.

However, this was enough to piss off the DNC because this dynamic duo apparently prevented Hillary from winning, even though Gary siphoned a good amount of votes from Never Trump Republicans as well.

8. Ralph Nader.

The 2000 election was VERY close, with George W. Bush only 2 votes short of losing the electoral college and only winning Florida by 537 votes. Meanwhile, Ralph Nader got 2.74% of the popular vote with the Green party so naturally, they blamed him for ruining the election. However, Florida’s butterfly ballot system is the real culprit, as it caused many Al Gore voters to accidentally vote for Reform party’s Pat Buchanan instead.

7. Ron Paul

A paleolibertarian who wanted the states to decide everything not listed in the constitution, he really didn’t fit in a party. While his views are quite similar to those of pre-FDR Democrats, the modern Democratic party would rather endorse a frozen turd then someone who’s strongly pro life and anti taxation, so he spent most of his life as a Republican.

However, after being strongly dissatisfied with Ronald Reagan’s presidency, he became a member of the Libertarian party and was their nominee in the 1988 presidential election, getting 0.74% of the popular vote.

While he did return to the Republican party 8 years later, he refused to endorse fellow Republican John McCain after losing the Republican nomination in 2008, instead endorsing Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution party.

6. Eugene V. Debs

This socialist got 3.44% of the popular vote…while in prison. In 1918, Eugene was arrested for encouraging people to dodge the draft and remained in prison until pardoned in 1921. However, he ran as a Socialist in 1920 despite being ineligible to vote himself.

5. George Wallace

Most famously known for his opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, lifelong Democrat George Wallace decided to run with the American Independent party in 1968, winning 5 states (plus a faithless elector) and almost throwing the election to the House.

However, he returned to the Democratic party shortly thereafter.

4. Theodore Roosevelt

The only time since the Civil War that a 3rd party candidate got 2nd place, former Republican president Teddy Roosevelt got a whopping 27.39% of the popular vote and winning 6 states in 1912 with the Progressive party after losing the Republican nomination to William Howard Taft.

3. Ross Perot

As a businessman who was half Republican and half Democrat, Ross Perot decided to run as an independent in 1992 and had a good chance of throwing the election to the House. However, he panicked and dropped out in July but returned in September, winning 18.91% of the popular vote but failed to win any state.

Fortunately, this put him well past the 5% threshold to receive federal funds and he ran under his newly created Reform party in 1996, this time winning 8.40% of the popular vote.

Sadly, he refused to endorse Reform party candidate Pat Buchanan in 2000, instead endorsing Republican George W. Bush and becoming a Republican himself shortly thereafter.

2. Bernie Sanders

As a left wing populist social Democrat, the DNC hates Bernie just as much (if not more so) then the Republicans. However, Brenie’s actually an independent and just runs as a Democrat during the presidential elections (pissing off the neoconservative DNC in the process) because he has more in common with them then he does the Republicans and he fears that running as an independent will give the election to the Republicans.

In 2016, the Democrats fought tooth and nail to make sure he lost to Hillary Clinton and again in 2020 for neoconservative Joe Biden. Makes you wonder if they would’ve voted for Trump had Bernie won either election.

1. Donald Trump

Wait, you may be asking yourself, are you referring to the hardcore Republican Trump.

Yes i am.

Contrary to popular belief, Trump’s not as Republican as you may think. In fact, he used to be a Democrat but has switched parties 6 times since 1987, including a brief stint with the Reform party, which he tried to win in 2000 but dropped out because Pat Buchanan was too conservative and homophobic for him to tolerate, as well as a brief moment as an independent in 2012 before finally sticking with the Republicans later that year.

Memorial day’s coming soon and while many see it as the unofficial start of summer, it was originally intended as a way to honor our troops. But fuck that shit, because our military sucks.

First of all, i must preface this by saying that most soldiers aren’t bad people and that they’re just doing what they think is right, but they’re not.

To start, let’s go back to September 11th 2001, when planes hijacked by terrorists were flown directly into the twin towers, killing everyone in the plane as well as many more. George Bush responded by declaring war and even those like Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul that were generally anti-war agreed, boosting his approval rating to 90% (including 84% among Democrats) and the few who did criticize him (such as Democrat Barbara Lee) received death threats.

Now don’t get me wrong, those attacks were horrible but the Taliban offered to hand over Osama Bin Laden on the condition that George Bush could prove that he was the one responsible for the attack. However, Bush reused the perfectly reasonable offer, instead opting for the bipartisan clusterfuck now known as the never ending war on terrorism.

Shortly thereafter, he passed the Patriot Act which gave the government the unconstitutional right to spy on people online and over the phone. Despite clearly violating people’s 1st and 4th amendment rights, this bill also had bipartisan support (although far more Democrats were opposed to it then Republicans).

Then, we get to the invasion of Iraq. In 1991, George Bush Sr. invaded Iraq for oil related reasons but chose not to kill and or imprison it’s leader Saddam Hussein (if you’re going to do a bullshit war, at least kill the leader of the country you’re invading).

Fast forwards 12 years later and George Bush Jr. decides that he wants to invade Iraq because they have weapons of mass destruction. Even if that was the case (which it wasn’t), WE GAVE THEM WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION BACK IN THE 80’s. But as with his father, the real reason was oil.

You see, Iraq has a lot of oil and America wants that oil so they’ll do whatever it takes to get that oil.

If George Bush was the president of any other country, he would’ve been tried by the United Nations and spent the rest of his life in prison. And if he did these attacks through executive order instead of taking advantage of his bipartisan support, he would’ve been impeached, acquitted, and arrested. But because everybody loved George Bush during his first term, all that happened is that we got stuck in these never ending wars in the Middle East, costing us trillions of dollars and many, many innocent lives sacrificed in the name of crony capitalism, not freedom like the rednecks want you to believe.

But enough of George Bush, let’s not forget Vietnam. While we were in Vietnam under the Kennedy administration, the 1964 Gulf Of Tonkin incident convinced Lyndon B. Johnson to go full scale into the country. So starting in early 1965, we poured our many and resources into this nonsensical war and even forced men to join against their will, only to lose 10 years later.

But the sad truth is that the Gulf Of Tonkin incident never happened, these were false radar readings used to justify a war against communism.

And then there’s the civilian casualties, those who died just because they live in the wrong country.

A perfect example of this is the Kunduz Hospital Airstrike where American troops bombed an Afghani hospital. This attack is wrong on so many levels and John F. Campbell should’ve been arrested, along with Barack Obama and Joe Biden for doing nothing to prevent it, not to mention everyone actually performed the airstrike. But as with George Bush, the only consequences are to those who suffered from the attack and should be prisoner Joe Biden is even running for president.

But we can also look at the My Lai massacre, where American troops were ordered to shoot unarmed civilians. And as horrific as the incident was, the only thing to come of it was general William Calley Jr. getting 3 and a half years of house arrest.

So we’ve seen how much of a waste of time our military is and a brief sampling of some of the atrocities they’ve committed, but that’s not all.

For example, if they find out you’re trans, they’ll pay for your sex change but if they find out you have autism, they’ll have you dishonorably discharged, court martialed, and have you face up to 3 years in prison.

Or how about the fact that it’s illegal to wear combat fatigue pants at an anti-war protest.

So instead of remembering our fallen soldiers, let’s instead remember those who fight for our freedom without a gun in their hand.

When The Beatles recorded The Word in 1965, they wanted to remind us all that the word is love and we should remember that sentiment for years to come.

Sadly, Bernie has dropped out, leaving us with Mr. Magoo vs Scrooge McDuck.

So to determine the outcome, we’re going to take 3 estimates, knowing that 12% of Bernie supporters voted for Trump in 2016:

First, we are going to conservatively assume that 75% of Bernie, Tulsi, and Yang supporters vote for Biden and that 75% of anti-Trump Republicans will vote for Trump, with 5% of Bernie, Tulsi, and Yang supporters voting Green, 5% voting Libertarian, 10% voting for Trump, and the remaining 5% staying home, with 20% of anti-Trump Republicans voting Libertarian, and the remaining 5% staying home.

That would lead to this:

Total votes: 36,092,194
Joe Biden: 22,765,720
Donald Trump: 12,382,716
Jacob Hornberger: 531,553
Howie Hawkins: 411,995
Other: 210

Now, we’re going to make a more liberal assumption that 50% of Bernie, Tulsi, and Yang supporters vote for Biden and that 50% of anti-Trump Republicans will vote for Trump, with 10% of Bernie, Tulsi, and Yang supporters voting Green, 10% voting Libertarian, 20% voting for Trump, and the remaining 10% staying home, with 40% of anti-Trump Republicans voting Libertarian, 5% voting for Biden, and the remaining 5% staying home.

That would lead to this:

Total votes: 36,196,323
Joe Biden: 20,823,450
Donald Trump: 13,542,745
Jacob Hornberger: 1,024,494
Howie Hawkins: 805,424
Other: 210

For our final assumption, we’re going to make out a realistic best case scenario for Trump, since Joe’s been in the lead for the past 2 scenarios:

50% of Bernie, Tulsi, and Yang supporters vote for Biden and that 75% of anti-Trump Republicans will vote for Trump, with 10% of Bernie, Tulsi, and Yang supporters voting Green, 10% voting Libertarian, 25% voting for Trump, and the remaining 5% staying home, with 20% of anti-Trump Republicans voting Libertarian, and the remaining 5% staying home.

That would lead to this:

Total votes: 36,592,753
Joe Biden: 20,798,572
Donald Trump: 14,063,565
Jacob Hornberger: 924,982
Howie Hawkins: 805,424
Other: 210

Even in this scenario, Biden wins by a landslide, so let’s come up with an unrealistic scenario to see what would be needed to get Trump another term:

As you can see, it would look like if 25% of Democrats voted for Trump and another 175,628 vote 3rd party or stay home to win by a single vote:

Total votes: 36,089,061
Republicans: 18,396,524
Democrats: 18,396,523
Libertarians: 132,611
Greens: 62,565
Other: 627

But if you thought that this is a guaranteed win for Biden, you’re wrong because not all votes are counted equally. You see, we have a thing called the electoral college that tells fairness to go **** itself and instead insists on using equity to ensure that small states have more of a say, which is retarded but considering you only need ~20% of the popular vote to win the election, Trump still has a chance.

But really, **** both of these candidates and vote Libertarian instead.
