Interested in politics, mental health, science, tech and philosophy too. Love nature and music. Perennialist Christian. Democratic eco-socialist who supports sortition with preference voting. Bit on the spectrum.
The whole leadership of the party needs to be overthrown and replaced. The stakes are too high for them to be doing this BS now. They are not fit to lead. They're mentally stuck in the 90's, and addicted to corporate donor money. That approach won't work anymore. No more appeasing these maniacs.

What do people get out of that? So strange.

I guess that's true, but it wasn't enough. Why? It didn't match their lived experience, and there was no emotional narrative attached. Compare the messaging. Dems appeal to reason with facts and figures. Reps appeal to emotion with dramatic narratives. Dems need to use emotional messaging as well.

Giving them more convincing explanations for their suffering is key to stopping that.

This kind of liberal oversimplifies issues as good vs. evil, like reactionaries who think similarly, dehumanizing opponents. Many MAGA voters aren't evil, but brainwashed and confused. Leftists should talk with them to help deprogram them. I live in a red area and it’s very possible to do so.

It doesn't matter. Russia has so many of these weapons that even if 90% failed, the rest would be enough to end advanced civilization. People spreading this narrative are dangerous fools.

Fuck it's hard to work with this character limit. Never posted on twitter or other character limited platforms before.

The idea that humans are the pinnacle of evolution, that we are "special" and above nature will lead to our end. The same goes for the idea that some humans are above others and should live in extreme poverty while others own more than entire countries.

Too much torque and not enough feedback that you are applying it. Most gasoline engines would be screaming if they accelerated like Teslas. EVs should make it very clear to the user how fast they are going. Also, just a guess, but the average Tesla buyer is probably overconfident about their skills.

Ringu, The Blair Witch Project, The VVitch, Midsommer

Event Horizon too, but the goofy ending kind of ruins it
