When the libs support something (not often, but aid to Ukraine is a good example), there must be a rush to pass it. When they don't support something, they act like politicians live in a vacuum outside of time. Oh, transgender laws are just what they are, those are immovable. Oh, Medicare For All wouldn't pass instantly if Sanders won in 2016, therefore we must vote for people who oppose M4A to begin with. Imagine if Republicans acted that way. Oh, GW Bush won't be able to kill Roe v. Wade if he wins in 2000, therefore the logical conclusion is to vote for Al Gore.

Afghanistan wasn't even really pro-USSR, they were just neutral in the cold war and that was enough for the US to start weekly deliveries of grenade launchers to what we now know as Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

It all depends on filtration, we've had very very efficient filters for particulate matter for at least 20 years now, like the DPF filters in diesel trucks and pickups.

But the funny thing is getting banned for just linking a study on climate in r/climate. Because libs are pro-fracking now.

Very funny; I got banned from Reddit r/climate for posting this link - Liquefied natural gas carbon footprint is worse than coal, study finds

I think that they would like to win, but don't know what is broadly popular and are constrained by the donors and by wanting to turn the Dem party into the 2006-era GW Bush Republican party.

Obviously you can do all that and still run a good campaign by just lying about it, like Obama for example. A Dem party with better PR would still adopt all the Liz/Dick Cheney policy positions, but wouldn't constantly talk about how much they love them.

Also, there are a bunch of consultants who will get paid either way, those people probably don't care about winning at all.

"There is no such thing as Palestinian citizens."

Maybe this is just because of the weird translation, but I've seen this a lot. Rights aren't inherent to humans, they come from the state. And if Palestinians don't have a state to protect them, or if they live in a state (Israel) that doesn't want to protect them, we can just kill them all.

Wouldn't be a continuation in what way?

This is probably much more the result of Tesla's old model lineup and FSD still being a fake product. Their only new model is the CyberTruck. Their second newest model is the ModelY that was released in 2020, but is based on the 2017 Model 3.

Election wins don't just fall out of a coconut tree.

You might think that libs just accept anything that the leadership tells them because they love the Dem party and want to win, so they accept everything for "electability" reasons.

But they just want to be evil rightwingers and "electability" is a ex post facto justification.

Not as funny as when they just had a guy in a suit to represent what a humanoid robot would look like, but still good.

They have really no set values or morals, they opposed him because he was the non-Dem incumbent. I doubt they would be that shocked even in 2007.

He looks evil in the video they are praising him for!!

The only people who know about her are those who closely follow politics. And those people have already decided, only serious policy shifts from the candidates themselves can change their minds.

The IRA already included a bunch of money earmarked for Flint, Michigan. It was celebrated when it passed! But the IRA allowed the government to "redirect" the money to another project if they wanted to. And guess what happened.

YOU SON OF A BITCH, WHY ARE YOU MAKING MY INFLATION MORE INFLATIONARY

That is a crazy path.

The follow up tweet is quite good;

Joe Biden has stood up to everyone who threatened this great nation, from Vladimir Putin to Anita Hill. And he supports women and minorities, based on that seemingly random lady he chose to be his vice president.

The play is getting Russia to take a part of Ukraine for itself in exchange for NATO membership for Ukraine. As a kind of buffer zone for Russia. Obviously, the US would gladly give up whatever part of Ukraine and at least half of the Ukrainian population in exchange for encircling Russia more.

They are gambling that Putin would take territory, since the average Russian would see it as a much bigger win than the usual boring geopolitics manoeuvring. They can put Ukraine into NATO if Ukraine loses and Russia agrees to it, the US would control Ukraine completely if that happened.

That was the premise of the first UA-RUS deal that was close to being signed very early on into the war, but NATO sent Boris Johnson to tell Ukraine that they aren't allowed to negotiate.
