It’s possible that they specifically won’t in order to get info on others. But that’s me being optimistic

The gift being that he was old and white with a proven political track record.

Politics isn’t just about policy, you have to appeal to enough voters to get elected if you want to implement those policies. Unfortunately, right now in the US, “kids deserve food” is a wild progressive idea.

And I heard he was hung like this

Is there a term for when a pun just winds up being etymology?

Can we? I’m not saying there aren’t less sleazy options, there absolutely are. But winning isn’t just about being the best candidate, honestly that barely has anything to do with it. Winning is much more about popularity and rhetoric.

Sure, if you’re not one of the victims of accelerationism and don’t care what happens to them while we accelerate.

Sure, but it’s a multiple choice question and, right now, there are only two possible options. If both options are bad, the best use of your vote is choosing the less bad one.

Stop fucking acting like newsom has already won the primary for starters.

Did you respond to the wrong message? They never did that.

That’s why we don’t see titles asking that.

It’s not what we want to hear though.

We gotta stop nitpicking when individual, calculated political responses for the general public aren’t as radical as we aspire to be. Leftists need to learn to stop looking gift horses in the mouth and take the W.

Sport shooting looks like it could be a valid workaround, plus actually sport shooting is great training. Things are bad here but I can’t say I envy Germany right now.

Thanks. To be fair, aside from the pacifism if you look at my other interests and hobbies I should be a gun guy, so it’s been a begrudgingly pleasant transition.

There’s a cost-benefit calculation to be done. If you’re the only armed dissident, it’s basically suicide by cop. There’s a critical mass necessary to mount an offensive.

Also, a good chunk of the 2A zealots are cool with what’s happening. They don’t feel oppressed.

The ones being oppressed are the ones who generally didn’t like the weapons. I know, I was one of them.

I didn’t say anything about demonstrations. Demonstrations and general strikes are not the same thing. Organizing a protest is pretty easy, just tell people when and where to show up. Organizing a strike is substantially more complex, substantially more coordination and resources are required.

Yeah but without the funds and organization we can’t effectively strike, and we don’t have the funds or organization right now. That’s why the chatter about major strikes put a date 3 years down the road. Start saving and organizing now.

No work, none, of any kind, untill the government passes a working budget.

Just that, that simple.

The logistics of a general strike are not that simple.

This “3 years down the road bullshit” is necessary to prepare. Strikes take time, money, and organization.

We didnt get into this mess by voting on single issues. We got into it by continually electing people who are using their positions for personal gain and the gain of their wealthy donors above all else.

Single issues are exactly how those people manipulate your vote.

Palestine has been a bipartisan bad take for the US the whole time. Any single issue is a bad issue to get hung up on. “Lines in the sand” are a fragmentary psy-op to get you to ignore the big picture.

Yes, every big deal is a big deal, but there are hundreds of big deals. Taking a stance on this one didn’t make it any better, arguably made it worse, and also let a whole lot of other big deals get bigger.

Single-issue voting is how we got in this mess in the first place. We aren’t going to single-issue vote our way out of it.

It seems like it would have been way more effective to vote her in and then apply pressure for reelection.
