@robblackie Yeah, that’s a great strategy. When people are frustrated and lashing out the best approach is to silence them. That works well. Gulags perhaps?
Blaming Farage, Musk, Trump, Tommy, racism, division, billionaires, Russia/China… all of these are distractions from facing the biological reality that humanity is tribal and territorial.
Solely condemning the rioters is two-dimensional and weak. It is depressing how most politicians are either: too thick to explore complex multifaceted problems, too cowardly to go near these territories - or both.

@DrewPavlou@elonmusk They’re angry they’ve lost control of the media narrative. They were probably laughing and cheering when he was forced to buy Twitter and now the chickens have come home to roost.
@RichLowry It’s odd. One of the great pleasures of European cities is there care and upkeep of public spaces. A lot of Americans love that. But when we attempt to beautify the US it’s “wasteful spending” or “more important “ things.
@RoKhanna@grahamformaine I oppose nazis unless they’re our nazi! Then it’s a story of redemption and growth. Is that the playbook Representative Khanna?
It was for healthcare so not unreasonable to swing “yes” but for a progressive party in a very wealthy county of millionaire actors, musicians etc. I don’t know why eat the rich wasn’t a more equitable approach rather than tax the Everyman. I think it’s a little bit of “we hate the rich unless, of course, they’re OUR rich”.
I remember, years ago, as an American traveling to Southern France (Nice,Cannes) and Monaco. I thought my friend in the States, son of a successful doctor, was rich. Then I saw all the floating mansions and realized his level of wealthy wouldn’t even buy a tender for these rich. A whole nother level.
I don’t understand why you’re calling this with votes still to be counted unless there are not enough outstanding ballots to make the difference , regardless if you think they’ll mostly swing left. This is part of the problem. If you believe in every ballot should count then you need to wait until every ballot is counted. Don’t ASSUME anything. Otherwise it looks partisan. I really never understood why Bass was projected so early. It’s such a double standard.
If enough people demand it. The Republicans, in general, are competent at many things but challenging the Dems in court they are weak at. Don’t really understand why. The dems are much more competent at legalize. Most republicans, sadly, are not. The “name that can’t be spoken” is willing to play dirty and the mainstream Repubs hate him for it.
