Pointing out that the prequels have the slightest hint of an interesting story does not change that they are garbage movies. All you've done is summarize the plot in vague terms that are only slightly more vague than the movies themselves. They do not "explore how an opportunistic politician can subvert democracy to create a fascist dictatorship", they barely even dip their toes in the attempt.

The prequels do not do an adequate job of establishing why the republic is vulnerable to being hijacked by a fascist dictator. They do not adequately establish how Palpatine is able to seize power. Germany was reeling from WW2 and was thus vulnerable to a charismatic dictator like Hitler. Hitler successfully used the hate and anger of german citiziens, caused by the very real suffering they were experiencing post WW1.

What the fuck happened in the prequels? There was a trade dispute, whatever that means, (it's never explained in the slightest), and so Palpatine gets appointed supreme leader or something? No suffering of average people is asserted, no populist rhetoric that gains momentum because of real suffering. Just, there's a war so we need a supreme leader and it has to be Palpatine.

The plot is completely nonsensical and I challenge you to outline Palpatines rise to power in detail. Every single character acts like a complete idiot and does nothing as Palpatine blatantly seizes power.

Not to mention the dog shit dialogue, stiff delivery, boring characters, racist caricatures, and blatant and obnoxious pandering to children.

The prequels are absolute awful movies in basically every way imaginable. Pretending they are some sort of intellectual piece of work just exposes you as an idiot or someone who hasn't watched the movies since they were 8 years old.

Sorry to be a dick but those movies are seriously fucking bad and I have issues.

If that's how you feel, ok. I'd love to hear your reasoning for why any of the prequels are better than FA.

I felt like it dragged a lot in seasons 3/4 but the ending was fantastic.

Was this an actual scene in the show?

What if I told you... Harris needs to do more positive things to get voters to want to vote for her.

I don't get your point. I'm saying that belittling non-voters and misrepresenting their motivations is fucking horrible way to get them to vote.

Liberals should spend less time berating leftists and more time criticizing their politicians for being shitty candidates.

Yeah I understand Trump has a better chance of winning if less people vote for Harris. My point is that instead of blaming voters for not wanting to vote for dems people need to blame the dems for not being worth voting for.

Looool.

You're right that the OT are just fun movies that are much less impressive than when they came out.

The prequels are hot steaming piles of shit in comparison though. Maybe you need to remove your rose tinted glasses?

We can't be together, I'm a senator!

Tired and factually incorrect narrative. Grow a spine.

No they fucking don't.

Fuck Israel too.

Glad to see people with a spine piping up on this website. I'm so fucking tired of the "non voters help Trump win" narrative. It's so fucking pathetic.

If you think what's happening in Gaza is purely religious in nature you have absolutely no clue what's going on. The state of Israel has been illegally occupying Palestine land for decades. They have concentration camps filled with Palestinians where they commit rape and torture.

Palestinians are fighting for freedom from oppression, they are not fighting for religious beliefs.

Biden and the American government have been supplying a terrorist state with weapons as they actively commit a genocide. That's why people are pissed. Biden is literally giving weapons to a fucking war criminal.

Seems a bit patronizing to imply non-voters exist because of republican propaganda and not apathy caused by generations of being fucked over by politicians on both sides.

I'm not saying don't vote, or don't vote blue, but don't expect non-voters to give a fuck about what you have to say when you dismiss their concerns and imply they aren't voting because republicans tricked them.

Yes.

Games made by Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft, or Paradox.

Fuck those people then. The democrats should not allow a small portion of the population to dictate something as important as climate policy.

The only way this argument makes any sense is if we assume the democrats are spineless and useless. Which they are, but still.

I don't buy it. It feels like these vague arguments are used against any progressive policy. "We can't tax the rich cause then they'll leave the country!"

If fossil fuel workers are so stubborn that they will refuse to vote for a party that wants to transition them into green energy jobs then their votes aren't worth it. If the democratic party allows the workers of a single industry to determine their climate policy then they are revealing themselves to be spineless and useless politicians.

Is Trump the sitting vice president of a country facilitating a genocide?
