@blogdiva I keep telling myself they're all under 25 and couldn't think it through. Otherwise I have to accept that these people were willing to play a game of chicken GAZA was always going to lose.
@blogdiva Biden the Senator didn't cover himself in glory. Harris got him hard in 2020 with his history on busing. But he did more on labor than most of his recent predecessors, and some of his hires, particularly Khan, were laudable. He was AWFUL about Gaza, to the point that the only explanation that makes sense is corruption, but Trump was always going to be worse in every way imaginable. Voting your conscience when it was clear that these were our choices was a luxury no one could afford.
@blogdiva are they the masterminds who thought there were swing Republicans to be swayed by the Cheneys?
Terrell Starr made the excellent point that Obama's initial success was due to him being outside of the bubble. Not sure how we can replicate that again.
@blogdiva@GaslitNation talked a good bit about the apocalyptic mindset. It sounds crazy because, you know, the apocalypse, but then you hear some of the quotes from Reagan officials and you're like, oh my god, it's true.
Do accelerationist kids realize what they're playing into?
