Lol, it could be 100% but it doesn't fucking matter if they just ignore the rulings and there's no one interested in trying to enforce them

Again, there is not currently a campaign going on. Your argument makes no sense.

This is exactly right and it's maddening that so much political analysis ignores the fact that this total domination of all forms of media by the right wing propaganda machine is at the root of every single political issue.

I agree, which is why the idiots still complaining that Biden's age was over reported are complete fucking buffoons.

There's not a presidential campaign going on, what are you even talking about? I can think of hundreds of stronger candidates. The Dems ran the worst possible candidate against trump twice, in 2016 and 2024.

Shocking, it's almost as if Repubs were arguing in bad faith all that time

Lol, I'm the furthest thing from a Trump and I voted for Kamala, but any realist has to admit she was far from the best candidate. She reinforced every Maga criticism.

I feel like their wages had more to do with it than the size of their fingers

Project 2025 was only possible if trump won, and trump only won because the Dems supported the worst candidate possible
comment in response to

Or a primary would've allowed a much stronger candidate to build broad support
comment in response to

Yes, but it turns out that Biden's age was the most important story at the time. The best chance we had at beating trump was Biden dropping out of the race earlier. His hubris and the media and party cover up doomed us all.

Yeah, it was shockingly seamless. Could've been the next 3 episodes. Or probably six episodes to keep the pacing consistent.

Any election analysis that doesn't mention the complete takeover of all forms of media by right wing propaganda is not serious
comment in response to

Lol, what did it accomplish?

The near term effect of "AI" is the exponential increase of misinformation, distorting reality and making the gullible masses easily susceptible to propaganda. The long term effect is climate destruction.

This is pathetic. It's not "deportation policies", it's sending people to a foreign death camp with no due process, and then defying court orders.

The main lesson of Biden's presidency is that delivering results doesn't matter in an information ecosystem completely dominated by right wing propaganda. The Dems lost the narrative years ago and have no answer to RW cable news and social media dominance that shapes narratives.

Oh, they're certainly idiots, they just also happen to be evil and shameless

Nevermind, you seem to lack reading comprehension. I'm blaming the immature voters who decided to not vote for the one person who could've beat Trump. I'm done with this boring exchange.

Even more shameful for you to be defending these idiots then

This immature irresponsibility doomed us all, hope you're proud of yourself

But also, it would still be illegal even if he was a known gang member. All these people have the right to due process. It's foundational to our system of justice.

Holy shit, it's amazing you continue to keep missing the point
comment in response to

Come on man, this is absurd. What you're saying is that Kamala didn't say the magic words to convince these immature morons to vote for her, even though Trump would obviously be much worse for their specific number one issue.
comment in response to
post
I am disagreeing. You're blaming Kamala, but I'm blaming the immature self centered clowns who refused to vote for her over this specific issue despite the fact that Trump is clearly worse for Palestinians.
comment in response to
post
But there's a flip side to that coin, bub. The leftists who refused to vote for her because of this specific issue helped get Trump elected, who is obviously much worse for Palestinians, as well as Americans even protesting in support of Palestinians. At some point you just have to be an adult.
comment in response to
post
What a childish thing to say. Are Palestinians better off with Trump as president? Anyone who didn't vote for Kamala needs to own it. Grow up.

That's the point. They love trolling and laughing as they destroy the lives of their perceived enemies.

No, in my analogy Repubs are the baby and Dems are the irresponsible parents

This is bullshit fear mongering. Those batteries were old technology. They were NMC batteries, the current LFP batteries are much safer and fire detection and suppression regulations are much stricter for new BESS projects.

Most Americans live in an alternate reality created by an all encompassing right wing propaganda machine tho, so Dems weren't even playing on the same field. America didn't reject Kamala's campaign, they rejected the propaganda version of it.
comment in response to

By bribing Trump. That's the whole point.
comment in response to
post
So that one issue was worth throwing away American democracy? And how's that issue working out under Trump? Do ya think that maybe Kamala would've been more persuadable or would she also be planning ocean front condos in Gaza?
comment in response to
post
Right, but if I saw a baby walking down the middle of a highway, I wouldn't blame the baby, I'd be asking where the hell are the parents
comment in response to

Not only that, but if he's right doesn't that actually make it even worse? But I tend to agree that he's just a coward who would never be such a blatant asshole in a face to face situation. Bill Maher's transition to full Maga is accelerating. His anti-woke and both-siderism is nauseating.

Never heard of toy soldiers, I'll have to check them out. Someone else in this thread rightly pointed out that hip hop is carrying the torch of political protest music.
comment in response to
post
It seems like a lot of Dems think they can appeal to "centrists" by compromising with fascists when in reality voters just want someone who unashamedly fights for what they believe in. This would lead to more Dems embracing progressivism, but if lefties don't reward them for it, it's self-defeating
comment in response to

That's fair, I suppose Killer Mike is our current Woodie Guthrie
comment in response to
post
Yes, that and the unprecedented right wing propaganda machine that has taken over all forms of media and created an alternate reality in which the Democrats don't even participate in the narrative
comment in response to
post
I've been astounded that there's no political counter culture music at all in the Trump era. Seems like a perfect time for Rage to make a comeback.
comment in response to
post
But also all you online leftists who refused to vote for Kamala on this principled stance also conspired to bring us to this point. Two sides to that coin, bub.

Astounding failure by Biden and Garland to not hold Trump accountable for his crimes when they had the chance and dooming humanity to this dystopian future

I don't think it's on our purpose, but it wouldn't be the worst thing to get the bucks instead of the pistons in the first round and then the Cavs instead of the Celtics in the second
