“It seems like every cycle we say that and we kind of mean it but this time I think we are in a category change where I believe the United States and the way that we think about ourselves as a nation has not been in danger like this since 1865. I think the only comparable moment to this was the Civil War,” he tells The New Abnormal co-host Danielle Moodie.

“If Nixon wins again, we’re in real trouble.” He picked up his drink, then saw it was empty and put it down again. “That’s the real issue this time,” he said. “Beating Nixon. It’s hard to even guess how much damage those bastards will do if they get in for another four years.”
I nodded. The argument was familiar. I had even made it myself, here and there, but I was beginning to sense something very depressing about it. How many more of these goddamn elections are we going to have to write off as lame but “regrettably necessary” holding actions? And how many more of these stinking, double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me and the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to vote for something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils?
. . .
Now, with another one of these big bogus showdowns looming down on us, I can already pick up the stench of another bummer. I understand, along with a lot of other people, that the big thing, this year, is Beating Nixon. But that was also the big thing, as I recall, twelve years ago in 1960—and as far as I can tell, we’ve gone from bad to worse to rotten since then, and the outlook is for more of the same.
So you’re telling me if this election goes the right way, America will collapse?
Oh no. How terrible.

this is the most important election since the civil war, which is why you should vote to keep the country stable, prevent war, and preserve slavery
Dems will run on preserving the 13th amendment as-is because getting rid of prison slavery might open up re-legalization of all slavery.
All I’m saying is, I’d probably vote for you if you promised to finish Reconstruction.

Oh gosh, it all makes so much sense now. Liberals are just edging themselves with voting and elections. That’s why they’re so pathologically rabid.

can’t we just return to the clinton administration?
I’m not voting for Trump, for obvious reasons. I’m also unwilling to vote for a genocide denier, though.
Votes need to be earned. This message is the same bullshit Democrats do so they don’t have to give things to their base. Trying to shame their base, rather than earn the votes.
The saying ‘Republicans fear their base, and Democrats have contempt for theirs’ is really true.
i think our friend Joseph is more of a “passive genocide participant” or “genocide enabler” than a denier— bit more severe of a charge
Remember he also said that the Palestinians were lying about their death toll reports
Yeah, I mean, I agree. The Genocide Denier is more of an argument for liberals. They are more likely to admit genocide denial, then actively assisting genocide. I think. I don’t know, I’m probably be wrong.
I’m less into arguing with liberals than I am into calling him Genocide Joe just because it pisses them off

May the imperial core shatter into warring factions for want of a fit ruler. May all the ruling parties’ ancient councilors and power brokers turn to dust, just as their ambitions. May God grant the proletariat opportunity to strike at its enemies.
