Yeah, that’s about the level of discourse I expected judging by the rest of this thread. Just gross shit.

Is this the suicide hotline? That’s fucking ghoulish, you are gross.

This is some of the most incredible finger in the ear bullshit I’ve ever seen. If ya’ll don’t recon with the failures of the DNC and just try to shove them down the memory hole, you are just gonna get the same fucking shitty candidates with compromised primaries.

Look at this news, understand that the Biden admin was lying about trying to end an active genocide, we should demand much better. Keep in the top of your mind how feckless and cowardly the leadership was while staring down the barrel of a potential Trump second.

Ya’ll are totally ok with losing some sort of moral high ground you weren’t ever on, as evidenced by this story. Fucking callow moderate liberals are a curse, ml is right about that.

I genuinely believe this!

Yeah, fair point.

The level of hyperbole in this thread is incredible. I can’t imagine getting this geeked over something this trivial. People are still talking about horse armor in this thread, it’s like referencing Leroy Jenkins, I can tell when you stopped paying attention to games. Like, it’s OK to move on too, but major “Stop having fun!” energy here.

No, I’m the other kind of nihilist, the one that doesn’t know shit!

Yes, participate in a low stakes back and forths cause the ones with data and numbers are too scary, right?

No, I’m pointing out that you’ve added so little to this you may as well have not even posted, look at how much traction the things the other person said are now getting. Why even say anything if you aren’t willing to actually engage, all you’ve done is made the other person look rational and you look obtuse.

Interesting strategy!

So humans are so shitty even if one group is able to miraculously come up with a non-violent society (perhaps partially due to geographic isolation, they will be found by the violent humans?

All the people who need to listen to this, won’t.

Bruh, did you believe this or did you just post it in it wrong place.

Dropsite is great and Ryan Grim is a treasure.

Man, if only they had spent all their campaign money talking about this instead of whatever the hell it is they did, they might have won the election!

Instead of having any sort of resolve, or appearing to actually give a shit about any of that, we got a full centrist push focusing on making it ok for conservatives to vote for a democrat, rather than actually trying to organize their base. The end result is DNC members abandoning LGBTQ and leftist issues. Instead they ratchet right to keep the government moving forward.

Nearly the entire DNC is rotten and will self protect, like this, rather than engage in any actual change.

That’s already how farm labor and meat packing/prep treat immigrants and immigrant children right now.

I guess it could get Italian bad, remember this? https://www.theguardian.com/media/article/2024/jul/20/satnam-lost-his-arm-and-was-allegedly-left-to-die-on-the-roadside-this-is-the-horror-of-exploitation-on-italian-farms

I almost don’t have a choice but to be optimistic. There are more prominent people who are to left of the DNC who are going to demand more power. I see that happening now and being rebuffed by the old guard. It’s a matter of time and I hope it doesn’t break the machine entirely, we need the stability of institutions.

Anyone Democrat could have won if they did the populist thing and didn’t split the difference on Gaza. I think Biden and Harris might have been the only two people who could have lost to him!

Biden wasn’t going to run a different campaign to the one that was losing to Trump when he finally stepped out. Nor did Harris. They both ran losing campaigns against a dude who’s a fucking felon.

The message last time from leftists in the party were that they held their nose to vote for Biden in 2020, it a referendum AGAINST Trump. Well, the DNC loaded another 2 bullets into the revolver, maybe 3 if you included Liz Cheney at the end there, rolled the wheel, and fired a bullet right into the country again.

Mark my words, instead of moving left to capture the voters again, they’ll ratchet right. Fuck the DNC.

Biden started this election -400 electoral votes in his own polling. Kamala Harris was the least popular, most divisive candidate in the primary (even as gamed as the 2020 primary was) and left at the bottom of the race.

You are right. You even see the echo chamber narrative that Biden could have still beaten Trump on bluesky being the preferred narrative.

DNC has almost fully pulled a “It’s the children who are wrong” and I’m not convinced they will ever have a fair, open primary again. This was a historic self-own that saw Trump picking up support in nearly all categories.

DNC has been playing Russian roulette with their primaries and voting base for years, honestly the gun has fired a couple times…

Oh man, one of my people! My parents, my school, my teachers just watched me fail with an under 1.0 average, while I scored 95th percentile in every standardized test. I was lazy, undisciplined, and unmotivated, and it made me hate myself.

I feel like this would be a red flag now, but back then, even the school counselors were only worried about my impact on other students. Since it was minimal, they let me just stay there and fail… my best friend, who’s every bit at sharp as me, got Ritalined into fucking oblivion and put in remedial classes. Jokes on me tho, he got a diploma from HS.

GED is just another standardized test. If I knew how easy it was back in my junior year, I would have saved myself a lot of time and trouble.
