Just two more corners, leaving us pointed in the opposite direction from currently

Don't even bother looking into it, once the scavengers start digging into a meme that's a sure sign it's dead

Me too, though admittedly there were only two of us

You don't get rich panning for gold, you get rich selling shovels

Plus the show mostly has great word of mouth, it's the critical YouTubers who are in the bubble

If something takes time to analyze it's probably worth presenting your message in writing

Yeah it was a breakthrough for me realizing people don't really care if you answer any given small talk question, you just have to give a vaguely relevant response to keep the conversation going

Yeah any country with problems with America has a golden opportunity right now to resolve them with some personal bribes to Trump

The issue is Trump was closer to Epstein than any of these guys

Won't someone think of the poor small business owner who wants to drive in from the suburbs and park in front of his business all day?

The only one of those who has won so far is Mamdani who did exactly what I'd recommend and first won the Democratic primary and then won the general as a Democrat.

"Russia hoax" is up there with "COVID lab leak" in terms of ridiculous right wing lies that somehow became widespread beliefs

All that is required for evil to triumph is for good voters to do nothing

Only if they all picked the same one, which would require the same kind of coordination around whoever has the best chance that I'm asking for

I do prefer that strategy to just abstaining, but I'd most prefer you vote for the best candidate who has a chance rather than for no-hopers

Abstaining when Trump is on the ballot is about 50% as bad as actively voting for him

Obviously if constituents make a foolish choice they get some of the blame, what are we even talking about here? You're really claiming people who voted for Trump did nothing wrong? How about people who voted for Hitler?

How so? Kamala could have done a lot better but on the other hand anyone who failed to vote for her to keep Trump out made a huge mistake

Yeah Hasan has his issues but there is also a really deranged hatedom constantly making up new malicious lies to throw at him

07.02.2026 22:16 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

I blame both Kamala and everyone who didn't vote for her, no need to pick just one

Both political parties and voters have agency and should try to produce good outcomes. I don't think anybody's disputing that it's very much in the interest of American voters to have Dems rather than Republicans in office.

If Americans had managed to consistently vote for the lesser evil over the greater evil in recent years we'd be a lot better off

Best time to join DSA was as one of the first 100,000 members, second best time is right now

How is it selfish to try to keep Trump out when he's much worse for both Americans and foreigners?

These guys should put that money into a new paper that hires a lot of the purged WaPo people

It's so funny how the "why aren't people protesting" meme is still getting passed around in Europe after a year of giant anti-Trump protests

In that he's in the industry? Remember I'm not anti-used copies, I agree they're nice and think freely shared ebooks are good for the same reasons
