I’m not sure why you think that letting the Republicans win by voting third party does anything but make things much, much worse, than not letting them win. First past the post elections are in part a keynesian beauty contest, and if you can’t recognize how that is the case, I don’t think you have a lot to correct me on.
How would you do so nonviolently? Would you get your people into office? That seems like the nonviolent way to seize control of the state, but if there is another, I’m interested to hear it.
Seems to be working for the Nordic countries. I genuinely think that if you try a revolution in America, what you get will not be socialism. If you’re lucky, you will fail and get violent government rerribution. If you aren’t lucky, you’ll get full on authoritarianism, with mass bloody purges of undesirables of all shades. The rate of revolutions leading to good outcomes sucks. Mostly you get various flavors of dictatorships. Often with state sponsored mass murder.
Revolutions, on average, make things worse. Seriously, the outcome of the median revolution is pretty terrible. Things need to be incredibly bad before it’s an improvement in expected value to do a revolution, instead of trying to improve the existing system.
I agree that that’s fucked. Giving the red team power means that number gets bigger, faster, and that no improvement whatsoever takes place. Perfection isn’t on my political menu, do you have a suggestion that isn’t accelerationism or not influencing the situation at all? Because “vote third party” sure doesn’t seem to have “sent a message” in any way I can recognize. It just enshittified the country faster. Looks like harm reduction is the order of the day in politics while encouraging improvement via other means.
Trump and the rest of the red team are loudly and proudly proclaiming that they want to and moving that way in territory they control.
Do you have a suggestion as to what I should do that isn’t accelerationism or removing any power I have to influence outcomes by turning to fantasy as a solution?
Well, I voted Biden in 2020, and here we are four years later and I ain’t in a camp yet. Kind of seems like that’s an inaccurate prediction, and you would be served by considering the chain of reasoning that led you to this pass, to see what improvements might be made in your process to enable better predictions in the future. Not every change is an improvement, but every improvement is a change.
Well, if my options to get dragged to the camps is either right now or in a few election cycles, I’m on the side of it taking longer.
I’ve spent enough time mousing right that trying to switch would be a major pain, plus I’ve been using my greater dexterity with various interfaces over the years, and I really can’t see trying to use an Azeron in my off hand.
The one on the left looks so surprised that the one on the right leaned in.
I can happen to you!
…am I being threatened?
Typo jokes aside, I actually have a minor issue with my pelvic floor that makes peeing a little harder, it takes some effort to go, so hopefully it neither gets worse nor goes that way.
Wait, people actually pee IRL from those? I have bladder pressure induced “looking for a toilet” dreams ever, but I’ve never actually let go, I just wake up near to bursting.
He had a couple of his friends wrestle in diapers (one of them had a swastika tat) and he was selling a plush with his head on a baby’s body for a while, because his fans are the “sweet baby gang”.
Not to mention a diaper obsessed Nazi.
Also his pick, either an idiot or a liar. John Oliver just did a segment on how absolutely fucked it is that people can buy Supreme Court justices, like Clarence Thomas. He then offered Clarence Thomas a pile of money to retire, just like he’s getting from Harlan Crowe to stay on the bench, and Walsh tried to say that Oliver should be arrested for that. You dopey fuck, are you saying that Crowe (a noted collector of Nazi memorabilia) should be prosecuted for actually bribing the guy? Or are you saying that it should be illegal to do so but isn’t? Or are you disingenuously lying, like you did in your propaganda piece, like Ben Shapiro flatly admitted to for their “comedy”, is that it?
I hate the way he can push me away from being the best version of myself because he is so infuriating.
I always joke that I’m such a bottom I got a special surgery to make me better at it.
Wait, our left or their left?
AGI is AI that can do anything a human can do. Consciousness is not a requirement, and is likely unethical.
Hey, I wasn’t asking how many men, I asked how many guys. Since the person I asked said it’s not gendered, why are you making it gendered?
Hi. I voted uncommitted. In the primary. Also, I advocated for others to vote uncommitted, in the primary. There, it’s a useful signal. In the general, it’s handing the country to people gleefully proclaiming they want to round you up, and who openly and blatantly showed their disregard for your continued existence by letting a plague run rampant on the basis that cities vote blue and are more crowded so would suffer more death.
