MODERATORS
Unfortunately, you've got a Democrat running who is openly courting John Negroponte, Jeff Flake, and the Cheneys.
If Harris puts Liz Cheney into a cabinet position, like State or Intelligence or DHS, that's exactly where we end up. We've just traded a loud borish egomaniac for a quieter and more sophisticated one.
Even if she doesn't, there's a murderers row of liberal-ish insiders who seem perfectly content to join shooting wars with Iran, Pakistan, Venezuela, China, half a dozen African nations, Mexico... Nevermind that proxy war with Russia we're already in.
Accelerationism isn't a philosophy, it's a coping mechanism. You get to pretend enshittification was your plan all along and not a disaster fully outside your control.
It's the 😂 emoji of political thought.
I get what you’re saying, and I agree, but at this juncture, there’s nothing to be done. We only get a duopoly because of our voting system. It’s shit, we should change it.
What’s your political alignment, friend?
We don't have a duopoly. We have a pair of regional monopolies. And it's not the voting system that gives us candidates like Eric Adams or Mike Johnson or Joe Manchin. These are the consequence of a fully captured election system.
