No, you’re not supposed to feel guilty or get emotional about it. You’re supposed to realize you live in a fundamentally racist society, one that is as physically segregated as it was in the 1950s. And you’re supposed to rationally accept that people of different skin colors fundamentally do not have the same opportunities. You’re not supposed to get your panties in a knot about what is otherwise a very straightforward problem of resource allocation.

Great. We’ll start with equality of opportunity, which requires affirmative action.

If only politicians actually were this based.

Put away the pillory. You’re obsessed.

They’re misremembering. What they’re trying to remember is the fact that no Democrat has ever been appointed to run the FBI. Democratic presidents appoint Republicans to run the FBI.

OP is misremembering. The real key is that no Democrat has ever been appointed to run the FBI. Democrats always appoint Republicans to run the FBI.

Seriously. It’s criminal to not include a summary in a case like that.

AI companies all do have a rapist mentality, so it shouldn’t be surprising that they’re lead by actual rapists as well. AI companies really have a problem with consent.

No they are not. “Legal resident” is a specific legal classification different from “citizen.” You are confusing the dictionary definition of words with legal definitions.

Yeah, I think we’ll be able to figure out fusion. I just don’t think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of it being cheaper than a bunch of solar panels and batteries. Hell, a big solar farm connected to a big hydrogen generator and hydrogen tank will probably be a much cheaper way of generating power than by using fusion reactors. The big fusion reactor in the sky is just going to end up being much cheaper.

Try learning how to spell Kamala, Ivan.

Nah. I don’t think we should prosecute them. SCOTUS will just find a way to get them off the hook. Or most likely, Trump will issue a blanket pardon for them all on the way out the door.

Instead, I’m thinking more internationally. These folks like deporting people right? Well what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Well think of all the human rights abuses happening in ICE facilities right now. If a Venezuelan national dies due to neglect in an ICE facility, that represents a crime against a citizen of Venezuela, a crime that can be prosecuted in Venezuela.

I propose that we simply extradite ICE agents to the countries of their victims. Let them face justice there.

The quickest way to purge the party of the corporate Dems is to get a progressive elected as president. Look at how radically Trump has reshaped the Republican party. A president popular among their party has the ability to completely reshape the policy direction of a party. Trump radically reshaped the Republican party, and the Democratic party is still in the form that it was shaped by the Clintons during the 90s. Trump remade the party in his image. AOC would do the same for the Democratic party.

Yes. And 2024 was a year of brutally high inflation when everyone was being crushed by the soaring cost of living. Were you in a coma in 2024?

Exactly. And people were also saying then that we needed to go with the more electable candidate with more experience. That was the exact argument Hillary supporters made during the 2008 primary.

“We’ve never tried the inspiring candidate, but without evidence, I must insist that they’re unelectable.”

“Not ready?” The realty show candidate just won two terms and won complete control of Congress. The electorate simply doesn’t give a shit about whether a candidate has a suitably long resume of elected positions. Honestly, a long political resume is actually a detriment in today’s landscape.

You do not know what electability is.

You know you’ve lost the argument when you start throwing around slurs.

2024 was a great year, economically speaking.

And this pants-on-head stupid take was why we lost the election.

And how well has your strategy of “don’t rock the boat, don’t try anything new” been working out for you there, buddy? How many elections do we need to lose before you realize that you have crap instincts on what makes a candidate electable? In our current electoral landscape, the quickest way to lose an election is to be stupid enough to pick the “safe” candidate.

I think you may literally be insane. After all, what is insanity but repeating the same action again and again, but expecting a different result?

I think you personally don’t want a woman president, and you’re hiding behind concerns of electability because it’s not socially acceptable on lemjy to be an overt misogynist.
