The real problem was that voting for Trump was voting for Mussolini today. Voting for Kamala was voting for Hitler in 2028. If she had managed to win, someone even worse than Trump would win the election in 2028. That’s the only possible result from a hypothetical Kamala admin, if she had managed to win the election.

Why did you vote for someone even worse than Trump? If Kamala had won, someone even worse than Trump would have got the Republican nomination in 2028. And they would have easily beat Kamala then. She wouldn’t have done anything to alter the conditions that lead to Trump. And now at least Republicans are likely to lose in 2028 (dooming about the end to elections aside.) And more critically, we actually have a shot at getting in Democrats that might actually be able to do something about fighting fascism.

You didn’t vote to fight fascism. You just voted for even worse fascism four years down the line.

So even worse, he manipulated and deceived the entire electorate from the get-go.

Did Biden explicitly promise to be a one term candidate? No. But he personally implied it on many occasions, and he had his underlings spread the messaging of him as a one-term president in the press. His minions were out there in the media basing their entire pitch for his candidacy on the idea of him as a one-term caretaker president, running to restore normalcy.

He deliberately put the idea in the public consciousness that he would only run for a single term but without ever explicitly promising to do so. This way the bastard could get woo voters on the prospect of him making a graceful exit, but while still leaving his future options open. It was a Machiavellian move, and it ultimately blew up in his face and gave Trump a second term.

If she had had more time, she would have lost even worse. The peak of her popularity was when people knew nothing about her. She just kept getting more unpopular as the election wore on.

The only scenario that Kamala could have won is if Biden had somehow dropped out just weeks before the election. Her only shot was to get elected before people really got to know her. She’s a deeply unlikable candidate.

She was left only from July to November to figure out her platform, determine a potential running mate, and come up with ideas.

She didn’t have too little time. She had too much time. She could have won if Biden had died a week before the election, and she had to take over last minute. The peak of her popularity was right when she got the candidacy. And it was all downhill from there. The more voters got to know her, the less they liked her. If she had had more time, it would have been much worse.

She was a deeply unlikable candidate that ran dead last in the primary she ran in. She was chosen by Biden as VP precisely because she was seen as unelectable and thus not a serious rival for Biden’s position.

support trans rights

Why do you surrender so easily to right-wing framing? What ads did she run supporting trans rights? What did she possibly do to make it an issue of her campaign?

There were two sides on trans rights. On one side, we had literal Nazis. On the other, silence. You conclude that the side that stayed silent made their whole campaign about trans rights, which is completely delusional.

Read the article. Kamala made her opinion of LGBT rights abundantly clear. She explicitly rejected Pete Buttigieg using the same logic a thousand other passive bigots I’ve met use. “I have no problem with queer people, but I can’t be near queer people because of what people might think of me.”

I let fire do most of my digestion for me.

Take six mg estradiol enanthate injections weekly for two years. Follow up with domperidone-based lactation induction. Supplementing a testosterone blocker would also be useful.

Warning, this is essentially going on the full hormone therapy trans women go on. You can induce lactation, but it requires being hormonally female for an extended period of time. Look up the effects of mtf hormone therapy, as you would be getting all of them. Also the breast growth is permanent. You have been warned.

You and your friends are running a marijuana grow op. The police break down the door. One of them sees your friend reaching for something (their phone) and shoots them dead. That person died in the commission of a felony (marijuana growing) that you were part of. You can now face life imprisonment for felony murder. In some states, this can actually happen.

I mean, is this really completely a bad thing? Having a partner that knows how to get business done could have its perks. Though perhaps it would be better to date a murderer that hadn’t gotten caught. If you’re going to partner up with a killer, at least make it a good one.

I think a simpler way of pointing this out is that the median US household income is $80k. A $100k household income is only 25% higher than average. It’s a pretty normal income. We just have “a six figure salary” as part of our cultural memory as some huge amount.

I’m going to start holding tea parties. Only trans women invited.

You’re confusing being a good politician with being a good leader or representative. Being a politician is all about winning elections. The man can’t lead the country worth a shit, but he can get elected.

You’re reading blog to literally. Think how people traditionally use Facebook/Myspace, posting regular updates, photos from their life, etc, intended primarily for friends and family to see. What’s the equivalent of that for kids today?

Trump is a brilliant politicaian. I hate the ground the man walks on, but don’t discount his political skills. He has stronger political instincts than almost every politician alive in America today. He can be evil while also being a great politician. You see his politics and conclude he doesn’t know what he’s doing. But you are simply not his target audience.

Or under the age of 25. Nobody is voluntarily signing up for Instagram in the modern era.

Ok this will make me sound 8,000 years old, but what social network are the kids these days using? TikTok exists, but that isn’t really a personal blogging site like Facebook, Myspace, Instagram, etc. What is the equivalent for Facebook for present day high school and college students? Is everyone just on discord?

I used to put it on my resume and the kind of offers I would get…where VERY bad. Or had some huge red flags.

In what way, someone looking for people to hack old banking systems?

This is whose data they’re using. The IEA has made notoriously bad predictions of renewable deployment. They’re a body heavily entrenched in the fossil fuel and nuclear industries. This is why the progress reported in the original article isn’t so. We’re measuring against the projections of people opposed to renewables.

We should legalize period-accurate piracy on the high seas. You can legally loot and pillage your way across the ocean…as long as you’re willing to do so using entirely 18th century tools and equipment. I just want to see a bunch of maniacs in a tiny wooden sail boat try and capture a giant modern cargo container ship.
