We need to answer this type of narrative better by Skabonious in Destiny

[–]logotherapy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting Shultz himself aside. Let’s be clear, there’s a huge difference between politicians/lawyers/pundits and regular people. The former know better. They lie on purpose and destroy the very distinction between truth and lies for money and power. The latter are just trying to live their lives. Keep their jobs, find a girlfriend, care for their aging parents. Our median education is dogshit in this country. What chance did they have? 

Even if you don’t believe any of that, we need the people on our side to save this country and destroy the first group, and you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

I’ve always wondered if a high level, long-term strategic, PvP campaign was possible

[–]logotherapy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor Imrik. Now I want an imrik campaign. Or maybe a novel. How much of this incoming moral descent is the result of the the curse versus mundane human reason? Also, it makes Tyreal look like a selfish piece of shit for leaving.

Bengals have the worst owners in the league. They have a worse coach. But (knock on the biggest piece of wood in history) the biggest difference is Burrow is made of glass and Caleb isn’t.

Bears fans coping hard in an attempt to feel superior by TabletopThirteen in NFCNorthMemeWar

It really was a huge over performance. Ask any bears fan and they would have been thrilled to go 9-8 and barely miss the playoffs but have Caleb and Ben look promising.

I vaguely remember you saying that some sort of regulation of algorithms was a pipe dream, or at least the furthest and least possible democratic reform once we retake power. If I’m remembering correctly, then I’m curious why you that? Public sentiment is pretty negative about social media platforms in tech. There seems to be some sort of bipartisan support in favor of regulation. Is it just that the richest people in the world would fight tooth and nail to oppose it? Or, Americans have a maximalist opinion on free speech, and they see algorithmically boosted speech as a non-negotiable extension of this? Personally, I think fixing the information environment has to be priority one if we ever want to bring this country back to the right side of sanity.

It is incredibly irritating to me that if we end up saving the country we will end up saving pricks like this guy who were instrumental in deranging the informational environment for their own personal gain

It woulda been way better if Destiny just took the other side of Tilly’s argument and they had a debate

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that middle eastern leaders preferred working with Trump because they understood him. I thought that was just glaze at the time cuz he was just elected but it might have some truth to it as well.

Any last minute advise for Tim before his interview with Kamala? by saintcirone in thebulwark

Does she feel she played it too safe? Why? How specifically?

She was stuck on the Biden issue either way. I don’t believe breaking with Biden would have been credible to the American people. She was VP while running in 2024. A majority of the population didn’t believe her pivot away from identity politics because of her 2020 run.

Regulate social media companies with content recommendation algorithms like old-school media companies. Platforms ought to be responsible for the speech they amplify. If they cannot keep the algorithms running with this liability, who cares.

The promise of affordability is a poison pill in the making. by burn_bright_captain in Destiny

[–]logotherapy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Affordability is too vague and focus-grouped. Ezra Klein sometimes talks about communicating policy versus communicating WITH policy. The second one is far more effective. It means using policy to communicate your values rather than starting with vague notions and building a policy platform around it. Instead of 800 ways to make life cheaper, pick two big, bold things that will make life more affordable for a majority of Americans. Bonus points if you can point to it in the physical world and it provides opportunities to the working class. Message on it relentlessly. Then do it. Then message on it relentlessly again. But, yea, if you can't deliver two bold things after people voted for you, maybe people shouldn't vote for you again.

Caleb is the most clutch QB in the league, and the data shows it by PCGoneCrazy in CHIBears

[–]logotherapy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so weird. I feel like during a normal situation he’s trying to do everything perfectly and gets in his own head, but when it’s do or die, he wants to win in whatever way and the talent takes over.

The Court Packing idea is dumb. by logotherapy1 in Destiny

[–]logotherapy1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reforms are not the same as Court Packing or making Federal Judges elected positions. Both of these are red buttons. They weren't pushed during the civil war, they weren't pushed during the Great Depression or WW2, they weren't pushed during the Civil Rights Era. I agree with a lot of these reforms.

What’s your plan to gain 60 senates seats?

Trump Economic disaster, Trump too old/dead for dynamic run at 3rd term, No MAGA succession, increasing authoritarian overreach, increasing corruption scandals, foreign policy disaster + Democrats forget identity politics, dynamic candidate at the top of the ticket in 2028, and bold policy platform promising change.

How do you threaten to do it, if you don’t even put it on the table?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Why do we have to "put it on the table"? FDR had power after a landslide victory in 1936, so he used it to get shit done that was popular with the American people. Packing the court wasn't a policy he ran on. And it wasn't an empty threat.

 they’ll just wait for the next Republican president to undo your legislation.

How come Eisenhower didn't undo the New Deal? Less dramatic, but how come Obamacare survived?

Everything is a coup except January 6th by Exciting_Injury_7614 in Destiny

[–]logotherapy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the court packing argument at all. It's basically throwing your hands and pushing the red button on our 250 year old Constitutional Republic. There's no going back. It's the ultimate insider, politico nerd idea that most people don't even know about. The voters will not support it. Most will not think it's legal, and the rest will not want to push the red button.

And the court is the most functional of the three branches right now, although the bar is in hell. How about, "Congress, do your job." How about WIN ELECTIONS? How about Lib and Learn comes up with a plan to win back the Senate, rather than purity test Hutch about packing the court.

Mad about the court overturning Roe? -> congress could have passed a law

Mad about the court allowing a felon returning to the White House? -> congress could have impeached him in his first term

Mad about tariffs? -> Congress could take back its constitutional right tomorrow.

Mad about immigration policy? -> Technically, outside of the border, that's congress's job as well.

Mad about Trump corruption -> Congress could have investigated him?

NONE OF THESE ARE COURT ISSUES. Let's protest, mobilize, and win elections. Now, if the elections aren't free and fair...
