democrats should just kill it.
Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

As somebody who has worked on Wall Street for the last 19 years, I promise you that a lot of people who are insanely rich - not just average millionaires, people with true wealth - are dumb as dog shit, but just have no morals and know ways to make tons of money by not caring about hurting people.
Dumb and evil are not mutually exclusive and Elon is not a genius, or even an above average thinker. I have dealt with enough of these people directly to see their stupidity in action, not just reading about it on this website.
I am once again begging liberals to understand the difference between dumb (which they are not) and evil (which they are).

Do people like Elizabeth truly not grasp this? You are *paid to observe people*!!! How much more do you need to see?

If an issue only impacts the bottom quintile in the US do people understand that’s 60 million people. Like that’s a lot of people or do you just not view them as human beings

Because legally qualified American voters don't want to be harassed and intimidated by masked gunmen as a condition of going to vote. Is that really hard to understand?

Contrapoints is at it again so I think it's important to say that one of the big failures of the last 15 years of left and liberal politicsi within the broad mainstream sphere has been an abandonment of hope and imagination.

This may be the European Marxist in me - but I think political candidates should outline their positions before you're asked to vote for them & if those positions are awful you shouldn't vote for them.

The idea that woke 2 tolerates a figure like platner and his Nazi tattoos fundamentally misunderstands the woke 2 project, which is about being woke but also mean about it

this.

platner is a nazi trying to sneak into the democrats.

dont let him
My main opinion on Graham Platner is if there was a 41 year old guy running in the Republican primary for the Maine Senate seat and it turned out that he had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years and then he claimed that he just didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo, none of you would ever stop screaming about it.

the AI craze may actually do more damage via creating additional unaccountable centibillionaires than by all of the other disruption it’s causing, which is considerable
The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

man ... lying under oath really ought to be a crime, you know?
The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Look I don't wanna boost that Elon post about English / Scots / Irish stuff more than it needs to be boosted but anyone claiming that English / Scots / Irish culture are the same inherent base culture is inherently disqualified from any further commentary on English / Scots / Irish culture.

I hate to Schumerpost, it’s hacky in its own way. But he and any Democrat like him really need to be steamrolled into oblivion. They’re constantly underselling the dangers of the moment and trying to get us back to the “Republicans Are My Friend, Let’s Give Another Trillion Dollars to Israel” vibe.

- abolish DHS
- trans rights
- no weapons for israel until they end Palestinian genocide + apartheid

i think that's a nice moderate stance

the world order effectively letting the palestinian genocide occur with no real objections has effectively dropped the formalities around pretending to care about genocide in the post-ww2 era and so the 21st century will be marked by more genocides & attempts to depoliticize them
