intersectionality is too complicated of an idea for him even with your admittedly good analogy

oh I wasn't saying it was big pharma. focus was on the fact that it could be done with a stroke of a pen and it still hasn't been done. Should have been clearer, but ty for the information for others though. I was on a plane very sleepy posting

I want to be absolutely clear I'm not doing the annoying cringe lib "thing" of comparing bad people to villains. The difference here is that I wonder if he THINKS he is the God-Emperor or some lame shit.

What really concerns me is if we follow this thread to its logical conclusion, who is Horus?

it is a confluence of issues and I do agree with you that something else is afoot. what that may be is something to be uncovered, but if I were a betting man is that corporate interests profit from fascism through way of nationalistic deregulation, driving corruption through lobbying, etc.

yet marijuana is still not legal federally. it's almost as if the Democratic party can't keep campaign promises even when they hold a majority and that fatigued voters. you can continue scolding that voting block though, that's working great so far yeah?

damn I'm sorry that trying to address why the Democratic party is so out of touch that it alienated an entire voting block is exhausting

is this like The Secret but for bad journalism? are they trying to will something into existence

Material conditions don't improve. Arguing online about this only influences people like you and me, not the majority of those who abstained (is my assumption, I have no clue where I'd even begin to find valid data on that tbh) Just my 2c rambling here 3/3

To shift their policy demands left, but that audience only exists on social media. Grab a random selection of voting aged people off the street and I'd bet their reason for voting isn't "nerdy leftist obsessed with theory told me not to vote" but that they feel like no matter who they vote for, 2/

I always wonder about this take. I think that we severely overestimate the impact that social media discourse has. I think it is an echo chamber and us saying "hey, the Democratic party isn't really led by competent people right now" is more trying to influence the center/center-right Democrats 1/

Not surprised that Tim Pool's grammar is bad. So much for the "enlightened right" /s

I very much agree with Killjoy here and understand your point. But in my opinion, at least in the 30 some odd years I've been alive, the boot never came off the neck, even when we were told it was supposed to.

"why didn't this group of people do what I want? I know, I'll call them lazy pot smokers" perfectly reflects the ethos of the current form of our failing party

I'm not sure that I would consider the original message to be squabbling. I think that as constituents it is our responsibility to hold the party accountable if it fails.

"hey let's not reflect upon our past and find ways to be better" is one of the main reasons for how we got into this mess

Do you think their current plan of action is enough?

explain it to me then, because it's obviously not making sense

who the hell is giving them a pass? I can in one breath go "fuck these Nazis" and then ask "why are my elected representatives doing nothing?" in the next. these things aren't binary.

If you would like to get back to the original point of voter turnout and the possible reasons, I'd be more than happy to.

You're taking "not listening" to "pissing indoors" or "shitting on the floor." I was more thinking of it from a place of love (as in I care for this living being, but they aren't listening.) I would not like to continue discussing my analogy any further and I myself will do that reflection. 1/

I wasn't going to bring it up as I don't think it should be used as a crutch in situations like this, but neurodivergent. Not autistic though. Thanks though, I guess?

faith. I hope that come midterms that the conversation we are having is one from a place of victory and not defeat.

I do not understand your point, but I will actually and genuinely attempt to find out myself. I hope to learn. But if we are offering each other points of advice to close (which I don't think will be taken, but nonetheless) please at least understand that my original point was done under good 1/

The discussion here is not around my morals, so let me restate my point: if you think the voter who did not vote Dem (not voting/crossing the aisle) is it possible as well that the platform that was ran could have also been part to blame?

It should be noted that I do truly love dogs, and see them as not something to be compared to in a negative light. If that helps quell anything.
comment in response to

Fine. I once again concede that it was a shitty analogy. Again. Are you willing to get back to the original point about how the platform could be different, or would you like to continue slamming semantics?
comment in response to
post
If that is what you took from that, even after my disclaimer, I don't think you're willing to actually solve any problems other than just vent angrily into the Internet at this current point. That's fine and understandably cathartic.

Thanks, I will. Take care.

I only said this because I'm sitting next to a dog. It's apparent you don't see them in a positive light.
It's also become apparent you'd rather argue semantics rather than the point, so there's no point discussing any further.
Take care, enjoy your weekend.
