  • Looks more like it wants to make sure it's not left behind.

  • I was joking & playing up the retro aspect. Were I serious, that's what I'd do as well.

  • How decidedly retro of them! Next they'll sell watches you actually have to wind up every day to keep time!

  • Anyone "with common sense" wouldn't even think such a thing, let alone utter it. Much like everything else about you, your understanding of the term "common sense" is quite suspect, Herr Slusser.

    AOC Must Run For President

  • You low-ball my understanding. I know all that, which is why I mentioned it possibly being merely a survival technique. However, she's tried to play "both sides" a bit too often in recent years for my liking - on issues ranging from Amazon warehouse workers to Israel.

    While she may still generally be on the people's side, I fear she may have been convinced to be "more pragmatic," which really means continued support of the status quo in fear of disrupting too many lives with significant change. Significant, rapid change is the only thing that will save this country, IMHO, or the oligarchs will just figure out how to corrupt things again.

  • I don't think so. She's decidedly fallen more in line with the mainstream Dems than I'd like. Whether that's just a survival technique & she re-emerges as the person she started out as once she's up on top is anybody's guess.

  • While I agree with you, I think you overestimate the depth of interest of the average American. "Swing voters" who sway each election tend to be especially more superficial than the average - they are the biggest problem.

  • There are others capable of taking up the reins, such as Mamdani. The movement won't die, but potentially might be a bit rudderless for a bit as it figures out how to regroup & try again.

    Unfortunately, the subset of Americans who actually understand what's at stake still seems to be smaller than we'd like. Fortunately, enough of the other side had started becoming disillusioned enough with Cheeto Messiah that they will at least not be so much of an obstacle.

  • Neoliberalism to Trumpism: The Re-Normalization of White Supremacy as State Ideology

    Jump

  • Not everybody is good at extrapolating a specific instance such as LBJ was referring to into a wider, more generally applicable pattern, or reframing it onto other similar, but not closely identical patterns. I'm sure the author was well aware, but was writing in a more general sense for a wider audience to apply to specific situations they're facing.

  • Report: Trump mad RFK Jr. hasn’t cut more vaccines or proven autism link

  • Ah, TYVM for jogging my crappy memory on that. The fact I still don't understand what that is probably didn't help me remember.

  • Fauci takes Fifth Amendment, refuses to answer Senate panel questions

    Jump

  • Just came from this post linking to an article quoting several of Fauci's diary entries that were released by Rand Paul. It's obvious Paul thinks nobody will actually read the entries because they are frankly anything but damning. Fauci was more restrained and respectful of Trump than I ever could have expected of someone in his position. It's clear that this is all nothing but political charades.

  • We all know that. I don't see how that's relevant to what I was originally saying.

  • Dylan Mulvaney responds to Trump's insulting comments about her at White House press dinner. “To the president: thank you for reminding me that I am more powerful than I even knew,” she said.

  • They do because they secretly fetishize trans people. It's a side effect of their self-denial.
