Hey Joe. They're paying me. Pull my...

Now would be an extremely good time for the Democrats to admit defeat and use the next six months to dismantle the power of the presidency so that Trump can't use it to do what liberals claim they fear he will do. LMAO.

'Member when Obummer was ramping up executive power like nobody's business and donkey fans were like, "YEAH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! SMASH THAT KILL LIST AND TAP ALL MY PHONE HOLES!" but leftists and even some of the progressives were like, "Uh, maybe not good for either him OR the guys who come after to have all this...." Good times.

Can't wait for the libs to create a whole new dialect of English for the king, just like the systemic lisp in Spanish Spanish.

Can't even follow orders anymore SMH.

Liberal donkey fans using the term "normies" to refer to others.

LMAO. Half are still in denial, half on suicde watch, and half (yes, there's overlap) are coming up with absolutely delusional ideas for replacements and strategies and shit. The circus is in town.

Trying to help libs not be libs.

Can't wait for the next war escalation to be moved up because it's now very clearly not going to be sufficient to do it in Sept-Oct.

Joe had a slow start to the debate

Is he still warming up now, or...?

There's a reason he has done the least pressers compared to any Pres.

And zero campaign rallies open to the public. LMAO. I'm surprised they agreed to let him debate. WTF were they thinking? Literally he'd be better off hiding in a hole until election day, like he did for a week or two just after COVID was officially announced in the U.S., and he told everyone to go vote in person and then disappeared himself.

There's some agreement with the party that the delegates will choose who the state's primary allegedly committed them to, but IIRC the punishments for not doing so are vague/nebulous, depend on the particular state, usually are pathetic even when/if defined, and generally aren't enforced anyway. So even if civil proceedings were used to try to hold them to whatever private contracts exist in the organization, it's pretty much just a joke anyway.

LOL. This makes a lot of sense, actually. They can only really act when all their interests happen to all align very strongly. And their interests do NOT align when allegedly trying to "oppose" the elephant faction of their uni-party. Either they'd have to have vastly different interests, or they'd actually have to have real organization to decide do anything that isn't massively driven by an alignment of interests. They very clearly have neither.

This is pretty simple and incontrovertible proof IMO that there aren't two mainstream bourgeois parties in the U.S., but one. You don't even have to go into the details of policies and shit.

waaaaaahnah

Painful but true.

Lula told Chomsky that he is organizing an international meeting of democratic leaders to discuss ways of confronting the advance of the global far right.

I think I can pass on Chomsky-esque scolding of everyone to vote for Genocide Joe again, actually.

Glad Chomsky is alive/"well" and that he and Lula have some comradery going, though.

Translation: "Everything is Russia's fault. No, I mean LITERALLY EVERYTHING! Even stuff we admit is our fault is actually Russia's fault, because trust me bro."

One of two methods, depending on the meeting, the constituency, etc.:

• Progressive stack - A queue of speakers is kept, but people who haven't spoken yet are prioritized, and non-cis/-het/-white/-male people may also be bumped in priority.
• Rounds - Go around the room and give everyone in turn a chance to speak (or pass). This can be great for people who are normally hesitant to speak up or put themselves on the queue, while offering the no-pressure chance to pass if they really don't want to speak.

Plus sometimes a person who volunteers to do temperature checks, remind people if they are taking inordinate amounts of time or are simply repeating stuff that's already been said, etc. Depending on the dynamics of the meeting (e.g. when most people form a well-knit group who trusts each other to do well) this might be handled collectively instead of with people in the particular role.

Everything will be Russian disinformation.

Pretty sure we've been there for like 6-7 years already, actually.

The "slower" bit is even highly questionable. The competent fascist (Genocide Joe) has been enacting fascist policy far longer and far more effectively than the incompetent fascist (Trump). Including implementing some of Trump's own failed policies.

It "helps" that all the liberals stay home and don't bother to oppose it when that vaneer of decorum and respectability is included, of course.

No argument from me there!

AOC also platformed two Zionists (destination warning: Twitter) a few days ago. I don't give a fuck if she gave some shitty little intro saying that anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism aren't the same thing. She platformed two fucking Zionists.
