6 decades of third parties have failed to gain momentum but sure, 6 months (or 4) is plenty.

Kamala is the backup the party leadership chose.
Both candidates would get laughed off stage here
There’s a reason there was no audience.
The DNC gets to pick any replacement. To them, that’s far better than rolling the dice on a progressive winning a primary.
It’s come to the point where the risk of changing the candidate has to be weighed against the risk of not changing the candidate.
Trump just said Biden sucks at golf, then Biden gave an incoherent response.
a tepid but smart, compassionate leader.
Is that really what you saw on that stage tonight? I saw a guy who lost his car keys because he was so angry at those kids on his lawn. Whether or not the narrative on Biden is fair, he just totally legitimized it.
I get what you’re saying about debating with Trump, or any Republican really. Debate is a lot easier when you care nothing for the truth. Overcoming that is the Democratic candidate’s job. That’s what Biden signed up to do. That’s what the Democrats picked him to do. A candidate who can’t function in that situation has no business on that stage. There are a great many Democrats who could have wiped the floor with Trump.
Republicans are working on it in the US.
There would have to be some kind of currently unforseen breakthroughs before something like that would be even remotely possible. In all likelihood, quantum computing would stay in specialized data centers. For the problems quantum would solve, there is really no advantage to having it local anyways.
I remember them saying all the same exact things in the early 2000s after a slew of widespread disasters. Security will never be a higher priority than whatever cool new thing they want to sell.
You are mistaken. This is a “Russia is pathetically weak” post.
One of the darkest examples of “every accusation is a confession.”
I got banned for spreading “disinformation” about how badly the war with Ukraine is going for Russia.
Where did I advocate for open porn in the workplace? My only point was that it’s a sign of societal issues that there would be a gender based difference in how people see the issue. That’s not anti-woman, it’s just pointing out broader issues.
Aren’t society’s norms arbitrary? There are certainly societies where showing tits is normal.
The fact that someone’s gender makes a difference is part of that “social wound” they mentioned.
Their interests aren’t generally all that aligned, so that helps. It’s pretty obvious that the garbage coming out of the cable news networks is at a minimum deeply sympathetic to American corporate interests, if not straight up misinformation.
From a US perspective, I see these tactics being used far more extensively by wealthy individuals and corporate interests than I do Chinese interests. Unfortunately, our government and especially our politicians are often directly involved in spreading misinformation and suppressing the truth. We need strategies that function outside of government to close the gaps between reality and public perception.
That’s an interesting take. Let me know if anyone lets you know that they decided to vote Biden because of voter shaming. I won’t hold my breath
The issue wasn’t that people didn’t show up. There was record turnout for a primary race. The issue was concerns about electability. The talking heads kept repeating incessantly that Biden had the better shot at beating Trump. It was complete bullshit based off polls, but people believed it. Beating Trump was the top priority with policy taking a back seat. The position we are in now is the universe’s sense of irony.
The thing that fucks American elections isn’t our abysmal turnout. It’s the complete lack of civic involvement between elections that makes voters easily malleable by expensive ad campaigns.
