"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–"

yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up

Gold is wayyyy cheaper than many of our drugs

Holy shit this lady for president

Anyway I get why it seems moral and responsible to do that, to say “no we all need to play by the rules” but in this case it’s neither. It’s false moderation in which you say “yes, it’s fine that you can “win” an election with <40% of the vote” as if that’s not stupid

Also, unless one takes a truly black and white frame on morality, (ie, no wrong thing is ever permissible, meaning it’s wrong to jaywalk if it saves someone from being hit by a car) even if one does privilege the idea of proportional representation it’s a big stretch to put it as the top priority

There is no fundamental value in proportional representation. It is a means to an end. Not a commandment.

And no moral philosophy requires you to do that. The thing here is that people put the form of our democracy (representational) as being more important than *democracy* or the idea that the majority is represented in policy.

Persistently insisting on playing by the rules of a game when your opponent is cheating is just known as “fool me twice” you are volunteering to be robbed.

This is not morally, ethically, or functionally sound. Making the functional means of achieving equity and liberty equivalent to the outcome is flawed reasoning on a variety of levels, mainly in that it fundamentally mistakes which part is important.

Methodolatry is bad in all applications

People just gotta make peace with the idea that are people with noxious politics who are victims of its results and deserve liberation from it by virtue of being human

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.

Hope we are keeping tabs on every agent and staff member engaged in this abuse of power

As usual anything exceptional about the nation boiled down to “large, rich, and not demolished in WW2” but you can do your thing too I bet it’s useful

Really our system developed out of a combination of post war largess and the GI bill and the fruits of globalism in which our universities were so big and wealthy they bought the best academics from around the world, but sure, I think this because of pro American chauvinism, a think I do a lot

Yes you got me it’s my unabashed pro Americanism which I’m riddled with not a consensus view in academia or a neutral assessment of publication volume.

We absolutely had the best university system in the world hands down. Not really due to our exceptionalism it due to the wildly multinational nature of our academy and a wildly amount of academic freedom. Now… debatable.

I bet tulsis so mad she had to spend all that time looking at fake electoral fraud instead of crushing the enemies of mother Russia

Absolutely. Need a vastly more narrow prompt. Top 5 for a Saturday morning when you are bloated or something

Disarm Israel.

I like the idea of an agentic vape who has the time to remember to smoke their own pot

Particularly dark night of the soul not being helped by the return of winter.

Really depends on the 10% doesn’t it

These people are lazy, incompetent, or in bookers case, wholly owned subsidiaries. They have gravy trains they like and they refuse to do better than the bare minimum. We can replace them.

I voted for both Harris and Clinton. So no, it’s not 100% or nothing. What offends me about this is his presupposition that the only thing he needs to do is be better than some fucking Nazi and if that fails it’s everyone else’s fault

The equivalent of a "Tizla strategy" for the US would be Mitt Romney running on a platform of overturning Citizens United, banning gerrymandering, court reform, and jailing half the administration. And I mean, if that were how ol' Mittens were rolling, I'd at least hear him out!

Anyway dude not sure when you sold your soul but you really seemed to not suck at some point. Sad to see what you are now

@booker.senate.gov I know this shit might blow your mind but what if you tried supporting candidates with good ideas instead of being mad at voters for not liking what you are selling.

I regret not taking one but here’s my ramp and dandelion green eggs with sturgeon this morning.

In *particular* the sun bear who does not seem to even really be trying to seem not like a guy in a suit
