The Lesser Evil
  • It isn't the non-voters it is the party. These politicians are so entitled. We're making genocide, the border wall, tax cuts, corporate friendly policies, etc. Bipartisan. So you can't vote for any different positions. Sorry sweetie that's how representative democracy works. But we're owed support anyway.

    They want to move right because of donor money and class position, and are able to as long as enough voters still hold their nose and come out to be at all competitive. That is why the dems base has been getting wealthier and whiter consistently the last 30 years (with a small blip due to turn out for Obama), because that is the only people the want to appeal to.

  • Awww shit. Here we go again...
  • Ah cool, if only I could make infectious disease into a hobby. I love the four horseman and civilizational collapse.

  • We need to sink the Netherlands
  • 's-Hertogenbosch mentioned!

  • Harry's razors are designed to start ripping after 40+ uses
  • I am perpetually vindicated in keeping a beard and using a straight razor to trim its edges.

  • democrats deciding who to blame right now
  • Time to look through the exit polls and find out which demographics have been insufficiently loyal to the party.

  • Kamala will not speak tonight
  • The parallels to Hillary just keep coming.

  • It would be such a weird irony if Trump outlives Harris.

  • Isn't it usually the opposite because mail in votes favor Democrats?

  • A historically deeper framing of "Center"-Right vs Far Right failing?

    But seriously, framing it this way seems like there is a deeper trend whenever a liberal polity is undergoing decline or stress. But I am more than a little drunk at this point.

  • First as tragedy then as farce, Caussidiere for Danton, nephew for uncle, and Grover Cleveland for Trump.

  • I admit I was at least hoping for some federal-level gridlock, but it looks like it's quite possible that Red MAGA will have *all* branches of the federal government soon.
  • Fucking forced into some accelerationist timeline. Time to find out what Obama could have done with control of all three branches of government if he actually wanted change.

  • Grover Cleveland fans in shambles. His one claim to fame has been replicated.

  • Just like Yemen in 2021. That started under Obama and he supported it, but once Trump was in office long enough it became "Trump's war" and progressive Democrats started opposing it then.

  • Wow, right now the NYT says every swing state leans Trump to some extent. I thought whoever won, it would be a squeaker. Somehow the CHUDs might have stumbled ass-backwards into a correct prediction of a Trump landslide. Harris is such a bad politician.

  • I am really conflicted

    I wasted 6 hours arguing with a libertarian. But I did succeed in arguing him into submission, where he started accepting that his worldview is wrong. His only defense of himself is that "I haven't read anything about objectivism, I think they might prove property rights and markets there..."

    I should probably get a real life.

    I Truly Do Not Understand What This Is

    I have taken psychic damage and still don't even comprehend what this is supposed to mean.

    We must take this day to remember how the Soviet Union expanded the horizons of humanity.

    Film Idea

    I just thought of a faux-Soviet film, like Comrade Detective. But it is a vampire film about supernatural, immortal capitalist Landleeches. You could keep all of the vampire fighting and supernatural tropes but with Bible == Capital Vol. 1, Crucifix == hammer and sickle, garlic == corn !corn-man-khrush

    And instead of the more esoteric, like not being able to cross moving water, or enter a house without permission, they have to abide by all of the pre-socialist housing and tenet regulations of that SR. Since Vampires used to represent feudal lords, I think this could be very naturally adopted.
