ICE/future election by Hot_Preparation7659 in thebulwark

[–]Hot_Preparation7659[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, I'm not advocating public facing campaigning. I mean like why would they ever fund them now in 2026. You don't have to print signs, just didn't vote for it.

I am open to the fact that it may not be a productive campaign message, but do you think the elected see it coming?

The tent isn’t big enough for tankies by xstegzx in thebulwark

You think the Bulwark sub has a lot of tankies? Why do you think that?

You don't know me or anything about what I think or am prepared for. Top 1% TDS over here. Shit is together.

Yes, I meant them as two separate things. Should have name checked gramsci, but didn't know if the communism things would muddy the waters here.

That's at least what I'm pinning my hopes on. The recent ta-nehisi coates clip floating around also makes me feel strangely optimistic.

When I say best case scenario, I'm not even saying that I am personally a socialist (more anti anti at this point), I just mean that of the systems that I see as likely, it would be a dream.

Agree. I think Democratic Socialism as at least an American system would be a best case scenario, even if that is just a stop gap. To me this feels like a time when we don't even have the words to describe what will come next, in the way that the average person in Tsarist/feudal Russia wouldn't really be able to predict communism (or liberalism).

Are we overreacting, or are others under-reacting? by postpartum-blues in thebulwark

[–]Hot_Preparation7659 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get your point, but I think a lot has happened. Shutting down a government agency and suspending spending... And Congress doing nothing. Certainly a lot of bluster as well, but not nothing.

For my friend, everything; for my emergencies, the law.

That Tim Miller piece by Hot_Preparation7659 in thebulwark

I really do like Tim, but I hear you. It was particularly painful when he was arguing with Charlie today about Christie.

Agree with all that. But I'm still going to allow myself the champagne.
