  • Ooh, just wait til it becomes ‘not publishing or speaking about something that will get you labelled a communist and publicly shot’.

    That one is coming soon.

  • This is like the 3rd time I’ve agreed with her this year.

    Much as that sucks, it could be that we’re being fed bullshit to divide us. Weird, I know.

    She’s still an idiot whose views only align with mine in a few cases because she doesn’t really understand reality.

    But she actually seems like someone who maybe cares about the truth sometimes. She was indoctrinated, but maybe she could be pulled out of it? Not when she’s surrounded by the right wing echo chamber, but it gives me some hope that the redcaps in our own orbit might have a chance?

  • Obamas call fatal shooting by fed agent a 'wake-up call

    Jump

  • There have been sooo many wake up calls. The alarm has been blaring for a decade, and most people keep hitting snooze. The bus is long gone, and you’ve missed so many days, you’re going to be expelled. Final exams are today. Try not to show up in your underpants.

  • I had my son at 28, not by 24. Speedrun: FAILED.

    Oh, and wrote my first novel at 50. Also FAILED, apparently.

  • Trump Says “Sometimes You Need a Dictator” After Alarming Davos Speech

    Jump

  • They carefully calculated those public policy proposals based on polling. But again, they’re basing all that on what it looks like their voting base wants. But the dem voting base is all over the place.

    Do you think they looked at all the best demographics and polling they could get and said ‘nah, let’s go a different way lol’?

    The issue here is you want something very different from non-rightist B, who wants something very different from (and maybe diametrically opposed to) non-rightist C, and so on. And I’m not saying ‘dem’ or ‘leftist’ here because those terms piss off someone on your own side.

    There was no way to make any of that work, and thinking there was, that it was their strategy or the candidate, misses the point. ANY non right candidate will lose again if this issue isn’t understood.

  • Trump Says “Sometimes You Need a Dictator” After Alarming Davos Speech

    Jump

  • using words to court the middle rather than policy.

    Not sure what this means, since words are what you have when running for office. It’s not like she was president before (unlike the other guy, who we did have policy to look at, and still that wasn’t enough).

  • Trump Says “Sometimes You Need a Dictator” After Alarming Davos Speech

    Jump

  • Yes, because courting Dems is like herding cats. Leftists turn their noses up at a moderate, and moderates spook at the slightest whiff of leftism. Yet the right congeals like old yoghurt around whatever rotting mass says the right buzzwords.

  • Trump Says “Sometimes You Need a Dictator” After Alarming Davos Speech

    Jump

  • I didn’t say it was working. I’m not defending it, but it made sense on paper.

    To be fair, I think the Dems could have run Jesus himself and would have still lost. There was literally no good candidate on the face of the earth that would have placated progressives whilst also being someone moderates would have considered. And you need both to win.

    e: propaganda hasn’t only worked on the right – it’s also gone a long way to dividing the left into near-irrelevancy.

  • Trump Says “Sometimes You Need a Dictator” After Alarming Davos Speech

    Jump

  • I know I’ll get hate for this, but politics is often about playing a safe numbers game, and courting leftists is like herding cats.

    If you want to start winning elections, maybe be less like a herd of cats. Stop sniping at compatriots and form coalitions.

  • ‘Completely lost his mind’: Trump's 'deranged' letter sends shockwaves across the globe

    Jump

  • Really? This is what does it.

    Not all his other deranged bullshit – this?

    Fine, I’ll take it, but you’d better be fucking serious, US, or your own credibility is gone.

    Do something about it! Now!

  • LOL lol

  • why?

    Jump

  • Well, yes, but I meant the form-fitting fashion that was the rage when pockets disappeared from womenswear between like 1910 and the late 1950s. Women still weren’t allowed to wear overtly manly clothes except in certain contexts, so everything from the waist down had to be overtly feminine, since just wearing man pants was too subversive.

  • why?

    Jump

  • In hindsight, that was a really weird analogy. In my defense, I was pretty high.
