Of course he is. Take some of your most popular, and arguably most effective, policies and just stop doing them.

Oh wait, those help normal Americans. That's right, we don't do that here.

Fuckin give it to them.

How many times do story rich games have to succeed before executives pull their heads out their collective ass and realize that there's 100% a market for them?

This. The Dems are doing literally anything they can to avoid blaming their messaging.

Support for Russia's genocidal invasion of Ukraine in no way supports anti-US hegemony stances. They're literally stealing children and indoctrinating them-the same thing the US did while committing genocide against the First Peoples.

Just opposing the US doesn't make Russia the good guys.

I disagree. I don't think accelerationism is the answer. But given how fucked everything is, I also don't have a better one...

I think there were two different investigations. I suspect the ethics committee one has fewer hurdles to overcome in order to make it public. (Don't quote me on that—I may be mistaken)

As I said in another comment, Tankies are often in support of the modern Russian state and the modern CCP. These are not positions that are "left of the DNC".

That's not entirely accurate. I'm sure some use it that way, but it's not "left of the DNC" to support the modern Russian state and its actions, which is the problem most people have with Tankies.

You're not wrong, but I'm saying it's an additional step for folks to take. And why would they when everything they're seeing is confirming their beliefs?

It's definitely a problem of media illiteracy.

It's the social media algorithms, man. Folks think that what they're being fed is reality, so they never double check the information being given to them.

Full disclosure, I'm just as guilty. For months I had built up this whole narrative about private equity buying up all the houses and causing the current housing crisis. Apparently, private equity only accounts for like 10% of home ownership, and the reality is that we just don't build enough housing. The issue is the same (and honestly I wouldn't be surprised to find out that private equity is still at the heart of it somehow), but I allowed the algorithm to show me inaccurate info, and I bought it—hook, line, and sinker.

Exactly my point.

"Joe Biden's the reason"

Maybe Harris shouldn't have adopted his platform then.

Some folks just won't learn.

Pushing for third party votes days before the election isn't the way. You've got to mobilize during the rest of the year, make moves in more local races, etc.

Man. Take a look at that makeup line. What a weirdo.

I'd much rather have someone who was never a pacifist to begin with! At least they're consistent!

He was already a university professor and fought in WWI, tho...

Cool. Now what's he gonna do?
