I’m saying you’re hardly the arbiter.

Considering all the noise that was made online versus the reality of his turn out at the polls during early primaries it’s plain to see Bernie was hardly ever a contender.

Even here and now we have apologetics and conspiracy in place of reality. Oh how I remember the theories of voter suppression instead of admitting his candidacy only really gained traction on Twitter and the like.

None of this bothers me however, as Trump would have likely handed Bernie his ass without breaking a sweat. I do have to confess that it would be nice if Bernie’s sycophants used this energy to actually turn out at the polls before the presidential election. I’m still not convinced a plurality of them understand how primaries work. 🤷‍♂️

“Earned” implies “deserved.”

Filed under “things to conflate”.

Redefining words and then doubling down on them to bolster your opproprium? I believe that’s what the kids call a classic reddit move.

It strikes close to the denial of reality you see from these right wing conspiracy enjoyers as well.👍

Nah, folks that are center-left are tired of the same out-group/in-group games. Not far enough left? Then one is practically in bed with fascists. It is tiresome, and plenty of folks are weary of laying out the difference in lieu of having meaningful discussions.

Threads criticizing neoliberals always get a suspicious amount of downvotes relative to the amount of rebuttals.

Even your own comment has the whiff of conspiracy where it need not be.

Interesting thought. I keep thinking that we are rapidly approacing a “snapback” moment wherein folks will see the abyss below and edge away fom the cliff and towards functional politics. Then I think of Brexit and the like and feel just a bit ill.

Precisely. Republicans refuse to govern and so those in the middle and on the left are challenged with moving the country forward while preserving the very institutions that “conservatives” once held sacrosanct and are now railing to dismantle.

Better blame the Dems for not snapping the political order into something completely different by fiat.

Shit reader.

Thanks for the moral support, I really appreciate it.

Was traveling last month and just saw Xfinity decided to raise my internet-only bill by 40 bucks a month, and the second charge just went through. Not even an email on the rate increase from what I can tell, just a notification that I got Peacock streaming “included” (a 5.99 value).

Looking forward to the call tomorrow. Any advice outside of staying zen and remembering the human on the other end of the line?

If all you got left is ad-hominem then by all means lay it bare.

And if it “seems” like you are the victim of accusations that I didn’t at all make then that behavior would slot in nicely with the assignation you’ve reflexively displayed throughout this thread.

“Likely” is now doing its share of work. It’s pure conjecture from you and stupifying to see someone defend this level of ignorance as virtuous.

Mere sentences ago I was “likely” siding with fascism. Are we supposed to think this is serious political analysis??

“Likely motivations” is doing a lot of lifting there.

I prefer “the words you shoved into their mouths.”

Oooh conspiracy. Yes, become the thing you hate; report back on how that works out on you.

You mean the individuals waiting for the report referenced? I don’t think they’re going to need convincing nearly as much as you need to pay attention.

More of this nonsense. Spent a fair bit of time on Reddit explaining to folks that few young people turned out for Bernie in the primary. That space was/is replete with apologists digging every conspiracy out of the book instead of acknowledging that Biden simply drew the most votes. And then of course there’s a bit of obviousness that never gets addressed: Trump handing Bernie his ass.

Here we are again. Where are the primary voters? Seems a handful of people care to make noise over the results but only a fraction of that number even care to turn out for them. What does turn out is that most people don’t end up giving a fuck about voting anything but the presidential election.

I’m sure the collective delusion feels good to immerse oneself in though.

I don’t know the difference and what does contempt mean?

Brilliance personified.

From what I’ve read, his dollarization scheme is pretty out there and is complicated in that the treasury is already light on dollars and no one wants to lend the country money to buy more. In addition, citizens would dump their pesos en masse; it would be an economic suicide of sorts.

Milei has little pull in the chambers of power, but that said, he has scored allies during the campaign. Argentina also has a history of civil unrest against neophyte governments and so there’s that bugbear also.
