There are ~80M non white citizens of voting age. Say they voted at 50% (a slight underestimate). Say they voted 25% in person (underestimate probably). With what resources is ICE going to arrest and detain *ten million people* so they can’t vote?
One of my biggest fears about the midterms is that ICE could flood the polls with agents who perform Kavanaugh Stops on every non-white person before they get a chance to cast a ballot, then detain them until voting is over. Which is not far-fetched at this point. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-po...

It's also a ridiculous discourse because the very simple straightforward answer (that even the fuckin trumpers agree on) is it's a scenario we need to do everything in our power to continue to deter because if it goes down no matter which way it shakes out it's a bad day for everyone
Saying "um, ah, well..." for thirty seconds and then changing the subject has been the literal policy of the united states as regards the defense of Taiwan for decades. The whole point is to avoid giving a straight answer. If you want to critique on FP at least read a Wikipedia first.

One way to describe the part of Woke 1 that didn’t work well but still survives on this site among holdouts is that there abs were people who accepted the right wing framing of society as a contest for dominance between groups and felt dominance could be achieved by making the hegemon feel guilty

And, frankly, it is very much a “you” issue if you have no theory of mind to actually comprehend that other people do have principles, and they are willing to stand behind them to make the world better.
But at the very least, you could just do us the courtesy of getting out of the fucking way.

Nihilistic doomerism is an ideology with nothing but a body count to show for itself (including a not insignificant number of suicides).
I’m not particularly interested in participating in the paranoid assertion that “they are going to just stab us in the back as soon as they can”, to what end

I am not v interested in continuing the “the Democrats will betray us on #$ISSUE the moment they get into power” B/S because a. There’s no way to falsify it and b. It’s fundamentally rooted in a nihilistic doomerism that nobody believes anything, we’re all gonna get betrayed, nothing matters anyways

Chinggis Khan dies from complications from falling off a horse! This is the problem with going 'arf arf, what is Aragorn's tax policy'....real life is often either a) dramatically unsatisfying or b) so dramatically neat as to feel contrived.
that's what makes medieval history so wild that so many stories of powerful rulers end with "and then on campaign he got the chills and died"
or in the case of vlad vi of wallachia "after a couple of large ones got on his horse and rode into the dâmbovița river"

I’m personally not a big fan of the guy, but like I said to @gregsargent.bsky.social months ago, he’s really found the correct formula for opposing Trump - both rhetorically and substantively. And the main thing Dem voters want right now is ANTI-TRUMPISM.

Recurring gripe: people on the left have social media and generative AI exactly backwards. Gen AI is the printing press: it cannot and will not be uninvented. It can run on a laptop at this point. Social media is a handful of specific companies with specific first mover and network effects.

Just chiming in to second this from the enby experience; I have been explicitly accused of being a gender traitor for both a. Being a member of the Bergen county democratic committee and b. Being an economist in manufacturing. I’ve also been accused of straight up “faking it” which is…. Not fun!
it is absolutely a thing that happens that if a trans person is trying to be a regular person who belongs to the normal political party that supports their rights, members of The Community will "call them in" and tell them that their insufficient radicalism should embarass them
