Money is begging

I'm not disagreeing with you but I'm having a really hard time grasping this perspective when literally nobody would consider gates, Bezos or musk to be "beggars".

No he didn't listen to us. He lied to us during his campaign that he would fight for $50k forgiveness. Then when he got into office he negotiated his own campaign promise down to $10k.

Yes pictures can be copied and pasted. Digital receipts cannot be forged. It's the difference between "here is an image" and "I own this image".

Not yet no. And for good reason as it is still fairly new. But ultimately that's where it's headed.

But sure. Begging is our strength

I would never suggest anyone beg for their right to live. I have no idea how you got that idea from what I said.

No worries. I know I'm stepping into a (rightfully) charged discussion here.

Minds shifted long before those in power did.

and fucking bricks thrown very hard at cops by people with nothing to lose

I'm in no way discouraging such behavior. But if such acts aren't followed up by financial backing historically they do not succeed.

Yet Caitlyn Jenner isn’t exactly using her money to help the trans cause

Not disagreeing with that.

About what? Money being a weapon in a capitalist system?

Yes he can prove it. Digital receipts stored on a decentralized platform have some exciting use cases.

In a capitalist system money is a weapon. You wonder why gay men have been so successful in shifting attitudes? It's because they have money.

Those are only the choices if I assume moderates and liberals would rather lose to MAGA than make material compromises with leftists and progressives. I'll be voting 3rd party in the hopes that they will realize they can't win elections on their own and be more open to working together in the future.

We aren't voting for Biden or Trump.

I'm getting a real "Bombs can't cause genocide!" vibe from you.

You know genocide existed before nukes right?

I need more context. What are elderly Belgian women known for?

This. I built a new machine and assumed the PSU was the least likely to be the issue. After testing the video card, ram, cpu and motherboard.... I tried my spare PSU and it worked great. smh

We've had lots of plans, there were lots of good candidates in the 2020 primaries. They were all rejected by moderates and liberals. We had the BBB, it was rejected by moderates and liberals. We had the rail strike, it was rejected by moderates and liberals. We have proposed lots of plans. They have all been rejected. The onus is not on us to continue providing plans. Moderates and liberals need our votes to win. They don't like our plans but refuse to provide any viable plans of their own.

I'm done making plans. If moderate and liberals want my vote they need to demonstrate it. If Biden wants my vote he needs to demonstrate it. Compromise with us or lose to MAGA. Make a choice.

at least one is a slower process

Sounds like you're acknowledging the choice is between fascism now or fascism later yes?

Soon 70% of these fascists will die of old age, and then maybe we can translate our action and resistance into policy.

That's not what will happen. The moment progressives and leftists begin dominating primaries moderates and liberals will stop showing up in general elections. You'll have the same problem we have today. If moderates and liberals actually value democracy they need to start being open to making material compromises with progressives and leftists. If they won't now, they won't ever and if they won't ever it's already over.

Focus your anger at liberals and moderates.
