I think that's the fun of the movie. It's not trying to recapture the suspense or tension of the original. It's a natural evolution in a world of monsters. In the first movie, the crew are just people trying to survive on a ship in space with a terrifying novel threat. Any other monster movie sequel, they find new victims and run it back, but the characters in Aliens react as one should to a new threat. Gear up and go at them with soldiers and weapons.

It's still terrifying because you and they know what lurks in the wet shadows. They are prepared to fight it which is why it's an action movie, but it's still very much an Alien sequel.

Are you new? You win by convincing people that you're right and they should vote for you. You can't do that if you never make the argument because it's too hard to win.

Nah, that's stupid as fuck.

And that's a stupid ass argument. If the Democrats can't win that debate, then we need better candidates.

That or kompromat. I wasn't surprised by his support of Israel since he's from PA, but cozying up to the right is alarming given the area he's from. Like maybe somebody has a photo of him in a whiter, pointier hoodie and he's decided to lean into it.

It's been a long time since a politician let me down as much as John Fetterman.

There's no justification for this that isn't racist.

I thought he preferred reading files when his name was in them.

“I apologized, learned a lesson, and it won’t happen again,” Boebert said.

I doubt very much that she learned anything, and it will probably happen again.

I mean, in a better world, we would have competent progressives who know how to run on an anti-fascist campaign. That we're losing the fight is not a reason to stop fighting. It's a reason to reevaluate our tactics and fight harder.

Impeachment is the check against his power. It would be better to convict, but the democrats need to make the argument and convince the people that Trump should be held accountable. Get Republicans in the Senate and House on record supporting Trump's crimes, and then beat them in the midterm elections.

Impeachment is how you win those elections. Rolling over and showing your belly is why Democrats keep losing before the fight begins.
