  • Here's hoping, though remember the people who voted for Harrison are still the ones voting. I remember we did get Howard Dean after his campaign, so hopefully there's a similar thing that happens.

  • I think "one income families" would be a winner if you could convince people it was even possible. I think it'd be a hard sell in the modern culture.

  • Realistically they weren't gonna hold a fair primary anyway. If they held one we would've gotten candidate Shapiro, who would have been stomped into dust by Trump.

  • I don't think people are really thinking long term, i don't think there's any strategy like that at play. (This is kind of accelerationist anyway, even if it were.) However, i think people who blame the voters for refusing to vote for an obviously poisonous candidate are completely delusional.

    People do not have a duty to vote for the Democratic Party's chosen candidate, no matter who it is. Not moral and not otherwise. The candidate has a duty to appeal to the voters. The party has a duty to put forward candidates that can get elected. If they refuse to do that and the voters refuse to vote for them, that's not on the voters.

  • There are tons of ways to reduce abortion and, typically, those are supported by Democratic politicians and opposed by Republicans. The concern is not to reduce abortion, there's actually very little concern about the actual number of abortions that happen by its opponents. The concern is that the opponents want an opportunity for themselves to take a "strong moral stance" against abortion. They prefer a world of more abortions which are illegal to a world of fewer abortions which are legal.

  • Helluva Boss short #3, heyo!

  • He's a fucking incompetent loser and he's way more incoherent now than he was 8 years ago. He's still very dangerous but there is a chance he just won't be able to get things done.

  • He has a couple million fascist followers who reread The Turner Diaries every other week and can't cum unless they're fantasizing about The Day Of The Rope so that's one thing.

  • What's the first thing Israel did when Assad fell in Syria? Congratulate the Syrian people? Push for a democratic regime? Try to provide aid and build relationships with the people and new leaders?

    No, they invaded the country and stole more territory for themselves.

  • It's just rubbing it in our faces at this point.

  • Also the likelihood of it being winnable goes down a lot the moment Trump takes office. I don't like it but i understand the decision. Still, we have to fight.

  • That's probably fair...

  • They'll never be given back.

    They could be taken back.

  • This has gotta be Elon Musk, right? Nobody else is using that stupid phrase, right? RIGHT?

  • They aren't oblivious, they're just relying on the operation of our society and their personal and organizational power to protect them. They don't give a fuck, and they don't want to give a fuck.

  • Yeah, that's not donating, that's buying.

  • He saw the problem but had no idea what to do for solutions and the ones society was feeding him (he didn't come up with that on his own) are bullshit. But society won't tell you about Baudrillard.

    This is something people need to get better at seeing. If we want to reach these people we need to understand what's happening when they say things like this. We also, ourselves, need to understand this stuff so we can speak intelligently about it. You know the media and powers that be never will.

  • You're right, this is very destructive.

  • Who knows? But they can look like they're doing something, at least.
