Well, I’m sorta tired of being murdered, moderates faking outrage, then they rationalize trying to remove the best tool I’ve got to defend my family from those murdering me.
I’m sure you can understand why I’ll respond to your shallow judgement of smugness with a curt, Go fuck yourself, moderate. I’ll set the timetable for my freedom. You can take credit as always once we do all the work.
I’d guesstimate about a 100 million in the US today. Maybe 500k are committed. Change happens around 15-30 million committed. It’s been 60 years since we’ve seen it last.
If someone decides to wear a badge of a Marxist-Lenninist then I’ll hold them to a higher standard. It’s been our way for at least a century. It still serves its purpose well.
Ah yes because we all know Marxist Leninist governance always has respectful, resolution first policing. No strong-arm, obscure, extrajudicial actions there.
Truly a high standard.
Edit to be clear: I fully agree with the original part of your comment about policing and murder.
I do not agree with the concept that ML style governance has ever demonstrated an alternative, or even that that system could.
Edit edit to be hyper clear: I acknowledge US policing is atrocious, and in many ways is a product of the system. I’m not whatabouting out of nowhere, I’m suggesting alternative governance brought up in the comment chain has not demonstrated an alternative.

“FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT” really tones down the rhetoric, doesn’t it? I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but if ANYBODY could be base enough to nick their own ear and hire one pawn to kill another in sacrifice, it’s this piece of satan’s taint.
The whole city government of Millersville, TN is a corrupt as fuck shit show. News channel 5 and specifically Phil Williams have been covering all the goings on for years if anyone wants to do a deep dive. Honestly the right thing to do at this point would be to fire all the commissioners, police, fire, literally everyone and one of the neighboring city’s just absorb the town. Lived there 9 years and it’s nothing but an embarrassment.
My second thought after oh shit, was where is the hat? Who’s got the hat? Where is that fucking hat he was wearing. I backed up the video and saw one of the secret services holding it. That’s worth a fortune.

This is what you get when there’s a failure to address the issue of online conspiratorial thinking getting amplified by social media networks unchecked against a backdrop of mental health disorders that aren’t properly treated. I don’t know how you reduce the online aspect of it without curtailing freedom of speech, but it’s a real problem and it isn’t going away.
I’m holding out hope for Newsom. The unfortunate truth is that too many Americans are racist and/or sexist, and the combination of those factors could sink Harris (who, it should be said, I would happily vote for).
There are a lot of people out there who are desperate to vote for someone who isn’t Biden or Trump. The buzz and excitement generated by an entirely new ticket (Newsom-Whitmer?) would blow Trump out of the water.
You and I are in lockstep on this. Whitmer, I think, would help to deliver Michigan.
I still would like to see Kamala in the Cabinet. She now has plenty of foreign experience. I think she would do well as Secretary of State or perhaps even Attorney General.
Ok, so voter groups aren’t monolithic but do you honestly think the optics of passing over a black woman who currently is #2 to have two wholly unrelated candidates be on the ballot (or keeping her as the VP choice) will be lost on black voters?
Just like everyone else here- people are throwing out wishlist bullshit without thinking of the actual political ramifications.
If you were to listen to half the people here you’d have tossed the incumbency advantage even before Biden did that debate, nominated AOC, and ensured a Mondale style wipeout repeat.
I think that Harris is an extremely hard sell as a former prosecutor who has really poor approval polling. If we made sure the ticket included someone who has done real work for minority communities then I don’t think it’d be a serious issue.
I was strongly opposed to Harris getting the VP slot in the first place and I think she’d genuinely struggle to win against Trump.
I never liked Harris because she ran against Bernie and she seemed very fake and forced in 2019, on top of the prosecutor stuff making me think she was moderate.
However recently I actually looked at her voting record in the senate. She is more progressive with her votes than 99% of the senate, and there are only 100 of them. Right up there side by side with Bernie. She is even an original backer of the Green New Deal.
She has also seemed to have relaxed some, seems way less forced. Most importantly she isn’t in her 80’s and can actually complete sentences unlike anyone else running this decade.
The prosecutor stuff was a long time ago, and she has already been voted in as VP to step up for Biden if he gets too old. The tough on crime stuff might actually help her with independents and conservatives who don’t like Trump.
The other reason it kinda “has to” be Harris if it isn’t Biden, relates to campaign finance rules. If he steps aside, she can continue to use their campaign funds.
If it’s neither, then whoever is nominated basically has to start fresh raising money, and with a huge time disadvantage.
Not only that but Republicans have already said they would take it to the supreme court if anyone else is on the ballot.
Plus a completely new person might not even be on the ballot in multiple states being this late into the process. Harris can keep all the donations and is certified to be on the ballots.
As a Californian, I’m always surprised when people think Newsom has a chance. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t say I’m a fan but I think he’s done a lot of good (just wish he’d distance himself from PG&E especially) but I always rather assumed that in today’s political climate, anyone from California is considered toxic. Is that not the case?
