Your logic is that trump, who epitomizes everything that's wrong with america, and is deliberately provoking and permitting the evil that has always lurked within it, and is causing widespread suffering and devastation throughout the world, at home as well as abroad, is somehow redeemable because he's accelerating the destruction of the US, dismantling its institutions which represent its only redeeming qualities, and destabilizing the tenuous balance that has only ever existed during its best times?
Not surprising at all for an .ml user. You don't care if the world suffers as long as you get to watch america burn. Do you not realize that if trump succeeds in destroying the US government as an institution, then whatever ends up replacing it is likely to be far, far worse?
Fake-leftist accelerationist will do all sorts of mental gymnastics to justify supporting maga, while simultaneously trashing every progressive who runs for office.
Not sure what you're intending to accomplish by saying that or how it applies to what I said. But I wouldn't call him great. Influential, yes, infamous, also yes. But not great.
Unless you consider Hitler to be a "great man," but honestly trump is closer to Mussolini (although he wishes he could be like Hitler). Hitler accomplished more than trump could dream of. Evil, repugnant, and deplorable, yes. But effective, without a doubt.
And I also wouldn't say it's accidental. He views himself as a "great man," and tries to do what he thinks a great man would. But everything he does is what a small man would, because he has the mind of a small man. He just happens to have fallen into a life of privilege which surrounded him with the people and wealth necessary to achieve what he has. Anyone placed in his shoes could have accomplished as much and more, and done it better.
So no, he's not an "accidental great man." He's a failed attempt at greatness which happens to have caused immense destruction to everything and everyone except for his corrupt inner circle which is profiting off of that destruction. If that's what "greatness" is to you, then we don't see eye-to-eye.
Or in a tensor field consisting of billions of weighted parameters across several matrices which then get multiplied along specific embedded vectors, apparently...
A lot of that seems valid. For the record, I personally don't think she should run this cycle. I would love to see her as president, but I don't think it's her time. Even if she wins, she'd be walking into a shitshow and would have to spend precious years cleaning up this mess (while taking the blame for the mess to begin with) instead of focusing on implementing socialist policies and proving they work. Overall, would not be a good look for the first socialist president of the US.
Furthermore, it's just too risky. Yeah there's some good momentum going for progressives right now, but that's far from a guarantee that a progressive latina woman will win the presidency in 2028. The stakes are too high. We can't run another milquetoast centrist who will fail to mobilize the left, but we also need to be pragmatic. Even if that means running a white dude, like Beshear or Shapiro. Someone the right-wing pundits will have a really hard time slandering.
And like you said, there's no guarantee we'll have a Dem trifecta after 2028, let alone a socialist or progressive one. Let's work with the momentum we're gaining, flip some seats and build the influence of the DSA and the progressive caucus. Maybe by 2036 the situation will look way different than it does now and the time might be ripe for it. Or maybe 2040 or 2044, if the historical trend holds of the executive flipping parties every time there's a new president.
But I have very little patience for leftists who spend more time attacking other leftists/progressives for not being extreme enough, instead of focusing on the issues that we're all faced with
If you're just doing plain black and white, no grey scale, even ignoring headers the most you can get out of that is 4800 pixels. Say maybe 120x40 or 75x64.
Add in headers to tell the machine where each pixel actually goes and you're looking at way less.
Want greys or color in your image? Forget about it.
Enough to know he pointed a loaded gun at his daughter with the safety off and pulled the trigger, incidentally just after having an argument with her about trump; and that the maga fascist jury of peers in bumfuck texas decided to acquit him without a trial because "it was an accident" is apparently a reasonable explanation to them...
Liberation are the Maoist caucus, and so they largely reject electoral engagements with politics
Then how are they considered to be democratic at all? I thought that was a requirement for DSA...
more as being strategically flawed, as the org tailing an individual for her popularity, rather than putting forward a candidate with the intent to lead and educate/radicalize the masses.
First of all, how is running a political candidate based on popularity strategically flawed? That's literally the definition of being politically strategic.
Secondly, AOC is perfectly capable of leading and educating the masses; moreso than any delusional MLs lurking in the DSA without participating beyond complaining about every single candidate who actually runs...
