  • Neolibs don't want to think any more than the MAGA cult. Yeah, it's the fault of mass media. But, the last thing they want to hear while running in fear of Trump is that they're a bigger obstacle to progress than Trump. They won't even accept it from MLK Jr's letter from Birmingham jail.

  • Firstly, AIPAC has no relationship to the truth, they're only there to disrupt the truth.

    I understand. Because you disagree with their message whatever goes.

    And no one said she shouldn't be honest about her positions

    You just recommended she engage in propaganda to thwart the propagandists.

    I didn't read the rest because the core of what you're saying is rotten.

  • AOC rationalizes selling out her principles to unite the big tent and become part of the dynastic club as VP.

    Newsom ensures neoliberal outcomes with appeal to neoliberals and fence Republicans as Pres.

    The big tent unites. Democrats win.

  • Nice insight. Democratic Secretaries of State will find a way. But, Republican Secretaries of State will definitely resist.

    I want to be of a mind that they made the bed to exclude third parties and now should lie in it. But, perhaps this is an opportunity to change the rules of ballot access for the better.

  • In the US the federal penetentiaries housing a minority of prisoners are fairly consistent. But, there's tremendous variation in conditions in different state prisons and different county jails. An urban center may have a "bad" city jail. A neighboring affluent county's jail is where someone may try to go voluntarily. Another neighboring povertous county's jail may be "worse" than the urban for a whole different set of reasons.

    If an individual was arrested a bunch of times all over Canada and all over the US, then it seems like the experiences would be significantly more consistent in Canada.

  • I admit that sometimes I spend time on a thing irrationally. It's certainly true for this line of speculation. My gut says it'll be valuable later. My experience says there's no point in trying to reason the nature of the future value.

    I respect why you don't want to speculate, particularly given the history of speculation in modern public forums. Thanks for explaining yourself. I think I again fell short of responsibly adapting: My question wasn't really fair. I apologize.

  • The point is, there's just nothing to conclude here based on history and we will, barring the discovery of some sort of manifesto, likely never know what the intent was.

    I agree with all of this.

    But, what I'm thematically understanding is that you don't believe there's context to form perspective of merit. I'd agree with that, too.

    You've better alternative uses of your time than guessing with very little information? I've value for this one. But, I could see how perfectly reasonable and good faith others would not.

  • I'm not sure why their intent matters at this point.

    I think many people's choices don't seem to represent their best interests or the best interests of society. And, I can't and won't force them to choose differently. Anything I can do begins with asking myself why they may be choosing as they are.

    I'm also not sure why my personal speculation on their intent matters. I'm no one special.

    We engaged yesterday about propaganda. You're a solid communicator in good faith. Browsing, I ran across your post today. I thought I'd throw something a little controversial at you to see what you make of it.

    No need to be slippery if that's what's up. Just don't engage. No biggie. The historians will sort it out later.

  • You don't even want democracy.

    Trump's intent is easy to judge because we've an adequate and reasonably consistent history of his actions.

    The shooter's intent is tougher because it's clouded with judgement of his means. But, if Trump so obviously fights against democracy, it would seem a reasonable assumption that the shooter's intent was the preservation of democracy. And, they didn't just formulate, but carried out a plan that certainly would end in death in defense of democracy.

    Regardless of judgement of the shooter's means, what do you think of his intent?
