1.5% was her popular vote margin. Hardly some blowout. Maybe instead of scapegoating brown people we look at the legitimate ways in which her campaign should have been better but couldn’t be because of corruption in the DNC. That corruption is correctable.

Marx made regular writings and letters to contemporary movements up until his death. At no point did he back down on violent, sudden revolution as the path to achieving Socialism. Marx was many things, but he wasn’t anti-gun.

Exactly. The Primary process is about getting your policies in the platform as much as it is getting you candidate(s) the nomination. She should run, a “standard neoliberal” should run, a corporatist should run etc… the process is allowed to be messy.

She also ran an incredibly poor campaign (Not completely her fault). Assuming she would have a run a Biden free open (which I’m not convinced of given how poorly she did in 2020), she would have done so by being good at campaigning and testing which messages swayed the electorate. Every winning canadite gets it.

Additionally the people you beat, give you a feel for the parts of the party that you need to bring into the coalition which you can satisfy as you build out your proposed VP and Cabinet. Think of how Obama brought in Clinton as Sec of State, Trump brought in Pence as VP to satisfy the religious right, how Biden brought in Harris etc… Harris didn’t have any of that feedback and picked a pretty questionable VP as a result.

At the end of the day she lost by 1.5% of the popular vote. And I got to imagine that the whole process lost her significantly more than that.

I think it’s worth bearing in mind that when Marx wrote that, guns were still using powder and percussion caps.

The Gatling Gun predates came out a 5 years before Das Kapital. Sure arms hadn’t had the revolution they’d get during WW1 yet, but they were plenty capable.

She should absolutely run. I don’t know if she should win the nomination, but running brings a voice to the wing of the party she represents.

Primaries are about coalition building. And to have your ideas represented by the eventual candidate you need a champion to promote them in the process.

Wasn’t he openly bragging about regular use of Ketamine a few years ago?

I thought him (and the entire SV “tech bro” scene for that matter) being in drugs was an open secret?

What is the fediverse chat equivalent?

This is the sort of outcome that comes when you hire people who were, “racist before either was cool.”

Remember when Microsoft said Windows 10 would be the last Windows? I 'member.

At this moment maybe. But they had, in leave time, more autonomy than Puerto Rico.

Hamas has zero tanks, zero airplanes, zero competence. I’m pretty sure they’d lose a war to a number of New World Cartels. That’s not really a real comparison.

Gaza has had autonomy for 20 years.

Well not nobody. Turns out there are some Nazis. /s

When the Ottomans Ruled the area Gaza was primarily a resort town.

Is the capability to block any website something the Democrats want to enable with for Trump to abuse?

On the plus side, apparently we’re all women now. So we got that going for us. /s

What image?

What do you mean it didn’t happen? That law is working it’s way through the Iraqi parliament and is expected to pass because it has broad support. That’s not extremist, that’s just Islam within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

Edit: forgot to add that it’s not a practise anymore except some extremist groups like the taliban and some remote places like in yemen.

This is a bald faced lie.
