Taking the senate allows Democrats to block the ongoing MAGAfication of the judiciary and stand a chance of preserving some semblance of the rule of law.
Totally fair to say you care less about that than Israel policy, but it is what it is.
@TheSanguineMan@thamoonman_ To be clear, I'm denying the Australian-ness of a 1st century Gallilean Jew and a 3rd century Cappadocian Greek
No issue with celebrating the cultural heritage of 'The West'*- but calling those two Australian is a stretch. A Kangaroo* and Uluru far more iconic & 'strayan imo
@TheSanguineMan@thamoonman_ With such a hyperactive disgust reflex i doubt that you're that sanguine of a man tbh
I appreciate democracy, the rule of law, science, etc etc- but very little of that is bound up in or exclusive to the legacies of Saints George and Andrew.
Nor are they Aussie
@SandyXiaotong When a successful pop icon spent a good part of her career also as a sex symbol, i don't think it's hateful or demeaning to admit to an attraction (age appropriate btw) and hypothetical willingness to be with them
Is that what you think misogyny is?
@AgustinLebron3@slatestarcodex Look at the biological history of more capable and intelligent apex species driving their rivals into extinction (or slavery)
@hecubian_devil Honestly, yes.
Because the minorities *arent* being marched to the gas chamber, and they *are* part of the Whole Of Society that benefits from an efficient growing economy with more abundant housing
The greatest good for the greatest number
@tracewoodgrains I do not think that Pope Leo is an agent of the CCP, and highlighting that bizarre & discrediting claim by Thiel is a decent tactic, even if Sanders appealing to a false dichotomy is also bad
@fffgrep@ThreeEyedRat@NodiMend@JeremiahDJohns Glad you're back down in the bailey- openly calling universal suffrage a mistake, fckin loons like yourself should at least have the courage to admit your shitty opinions
@MThompson372@JeremiahDJohns Unaware of Mamdani ever being a member of the CPUSA. Do tell
Would ask you to contemplate your feelings if e.g. Soros called for Musk to be denaturalised and deported purely on political disagreement with him- calling him a traitor to the country
@fffgrep@ThreeEyedRat@NodiMend@JeremiahDJohns Mm. The billionaire who has been espousing antidemocratic & pro-autocracy politics hasnt been Wasting money in an unprofitable media buy- he's purchasing influence!
Dont we all feel so reassured
@MThompson372@JeremiahDJohns I distrust his view of what it is to love the USA, & would not trust the use of the powers proposed
Elon routinely blows up at critics of his see e.g. USAID deaths, and calls these mainstream normie critics 'evil'.
Has called for the denaturalisation & deportation of Mamdani
One of the most important media companies in the world is run by a guy who's openly anti-democracy and pro-authoritarianism.
I could make a joke or something but man, it's just really, really bad this is where we are.
