A lot of the people I could not convince to vote this round were cynical because of the pandering to the racists and billionaires. Appealing to the worse demotivates any base of people who have rectitude, if this was not the case, then the party would not represent a lesser evil.

Then what's stopping the Democrats from banning corporate money from their primaries? Point to the bad actors.

So they would be cool to get corporate money out their primaries, right?

It should fund drones to pester billionaires to donate their money. Every time they step out in public there should be a swarm of bots broadcasting how many times they flew with Epstein. We could have comedians voice the drones and have a competition to see who does the best roast.

I voted for Harris, so I reckon my vote worked as well as yours for the Palestinians.

My point is that if I were so cynical to think we can only win by appealing to the worse in our party, then I wouldn't bother defending democracy. At that point it is not simply a matter of voting for the lesser evil, but telling your neighbors that is is okay to be a racist misogynist.

I do believe in democracy, which is why I ask for more, not less.

If I believed what you were saying, then I wouldn't even bother voting.

Sounds like the parents have decided they're too old (or she is too old) to deal with this shit

Are these the same voters who support the Palestinian genocide? At some point we have to have the courage to stand for the right thing instead of pandering to our most cynical neighbors.

The wealthy would live even longer if their wealth was redistributed to remove scarcities around public health. In this sense, Luigi is just trying to save them from themselves.

We should insist the only Elon write code for Doge because he's a million times more qualified based on his net worth.

Good on those who are making a stand, but know that no one is coming to save us. We have only ourselves to blame.

Yeah, I don't think those racist misogynists were going to vote for anything less than mass deportations.
