I can- sort of, maybe, a little bit- understand this. I voted for Kamala in 2024, but if she was the nominee in 2028 I’d probably just stay home. I’d take it as a sign that the Democrats would rather lose over & over again than try & make things even a little bit better for regular people.

That’s *why* liberals are saying it’s an unrealistic strategy!

They fear their base taking over the Democrats infinitely more than they fear another decade of MAGA. They need to nip that possibility in the bud.

Maybe I’m not online enough to really notice, but I didn’t see anyone complaining about Shaun. Contrapoints, yes- and to a lesser extent Hbombergiy & PT- but not Shaun.

…Shaun did make a Gaza video, though? And seemed confused by Contra’s beliefs when he commented on them earlier?

Sort of? I was a social democrat before going bald (though I called myself a communist; blame American edition + a conservative family.)

Bald now; still have some SocDec sympathies, but I’m far more radical now. When I call myself a socialist, it’s no longer because I think the Dems are commies.

Massive exodus from the NYPD, eh?

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

I could be wrong here, but the first thing I thought of when she mentioned ‘privatization of land’ wasn’t the emergence of agriculture, but the enclosure of common lands. There’s a several thousand year gap there, and your pro-agriculture arguments (which I agree with) wouldn’t necessarily apply.

Very sorry 😞 Always tragic when you lose a pet.
