Yep, that's for sure the culture he wants. Obedience, but excellence.

Not only them. Everyone will suffer, including Trump (etc). The real fear is that one side "wins" and gets to do whatever they want.

There's always a choice. There's always the possibility of change. The billionaires and party leaders are few, they require our continued cooperation to do these things. We could stop if we wanted. What that would look like is impossible to say but a different world is possible.

Gonna be honest, i think Biden could have beaten Trump. I don't blame him for stepping down (though if he had done so sooner i think it would have been better) but i think he had at least as much chance as Harris, maybe more. That's purely strategic, though. I think the calls for him to step down were coming from a position of weakness and fear and were interpreted as such by the electorate.

He could have easily won if he did something about Gaza other than "support genocide" but here we are, at the (current) end of a long string of such decisions.

We see with the UHC shooting how much anger there is for the inequities in this country, it would be easy to tap into that.

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.

You could just have a server up and running, paid several months in advance, that did it automatically but you might want a human (i would think a lawyer) to also be involved.

I'm not sure that's generalizable to this scenario. That's also pretty time constrained. Besides that, was there any evidence this person was depressed or otherwise suicidal? Maybe there is but i sure don't know if it.

Dead man's switch that uploads a message to YouTube that's basically "If you're seeing this then i have been assassinated by the company. I did not kill myself, I was determined to testify. Because I will now no longer be able to, what follows is my testimony" and then do a tell all. Could work it out with a lawyer in advance, too.

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

I mean, masks are medical devices. That's kinda what they're for. Banning them is just supporting the disease.

They would prefer to lose everything rather than move Left even a single inch.

Yes, they really do.
