It is fucking JOEVER
Well put, we can’t divine the future but your correct in feeling like these are weeks where decades happen.
If we’re optimism posting I hope this is the death knell of the Democratic Party and perhaps in my lifetime even the constitutional order. The Republican Party is similarly vile but one crucial distinction is that I don’t think the Republican Party would go out of its way to save the Democratic Party. But if you reverse the circumstances I can absolutely see the democrats fighting tooth and nail to save the republicans from self destruction. Look at the way they elevated the “never trump republicans” even though they were just as vile or worse in some cases. The democrats really do seem to be on a collision course with a deeply delegitimizing defeat and Joe Biden refuses to take his hands off the steering wheel even as their self preservation instincts keep trying to turn the nose up.
Of course like I said, we can’t divine the future, this is just game theory bullshit. All I’m saying is that as someone who dreams of seeing the constitutional order of the United States brought to an end, I feel a glimmer of that most dangerous of feelings.
And of course the chaos that ensues will not be pretty. I do not relish that and no one should. However the time to work together to build a credible alternative has always been yesterday.
And to that end, I often wonder how much of a credible alternative CAN even be built as long as the gaping maw of the Democratic Party exists to Hoover up all social movements, capitalize on them, and smooth off all the sharp edges so they’re palatable to suburban fence sitting white people.
Even within the existing constitutional order, I truly believe from the bottom of my heart that the left as a social movement will continue to be stymied and sapped of talent and capital until the Democratic Party either implodes or is just completely de-legitimized.
I mean they probably have repellant views but this doesn’t scream neo nazi to me. The Iron Cross, while carrying some connotations, plenty of Normies just don’t recognize those and just think it’s a cool bad ass cross. Maybe I’m just missing something but that’s my read
Counter struggle session: a lot of the best techniques of the French and their sauces have their origins in the kitchen of the feudal Italian peasant.
The French simply lifted it and added the bourgeois decadence of butter and edible flowers. There are some undeniably French things, and they came up with a lot of the vocabulary.
I have done no research to support this thesis but it is an opinion I hold strongly. It makes sense when you consider the trajectory of the Napoleonic era through Italy and I WILL willfully disregard any facts pointing to the contrary because of my biases that are mine and I’m allowed to have them.
All agreement and supporting Information is welcome I will not be responding to any questions from haters OR losers.
Reading the r/politics megathread is like reading a brainstorming session for dnc talking points. I don’t throw around the term AstroTurf a lot but Jesus Christ
This late game swapping horses will also add legitimacy to trump’s argument to delegitimize the election should he lose in November so it’s fucking win win for him. fucking liberals fumbling the bag as usual. This feels like October 2020 when the emails came up again but it’s fucking July! Glad liberals are malding RN free Palestine
A lot of queer and nonbinary people are saying it folks
“ • 10h ago If you see all politics as a power struggle between two sides, then someone who tells you you’re not giving the other side enough credit must secretly support that side beneath the surface. Like when a liberal organization like the ACLU defends Nazis’ first amendment rights.
My response would be that I don’t trust a society that eschews the pluralistic debate step to actually end up with the right norms. If you’re on the left and worried about Nazis, you should be just as worried about McCarthyism locking your own views out of the system.
As a wise man once said, the shape of our democracy is the issue that affects every other issue”
IMAGINE sincere Pete posting in 2024. These people have lost the plot.

I wonder how many people in the CIA were exposed to Cumtown. This will be our Havana Syndrome.
As long as this is what the right in the U.S. thinks of as political praxis then I think we’re gonna be ok
Damn guess Geico is fucking woke now
Sounds like the website is operating as intended
Yeah i see that too and it truly misses the point that this is just what the CIA exists to do and always has done; Put American capital and its interests above all else and pursue them at all costs. The correct response to this is to dismantle the CIA as is long overdue anyway but that is obviously out of the question for anyone even close to the power to do that
Why am I not surprised vegan gains is an Israel apologists
