    Listen, not all nazi soldiers were particularly bad. I’m sure a chef in the rear guard probably did not do a single war crime. But when the SS existed we know that the chef isn’t what most people refer to when discussing war crimes of the era.

    Its the same in this era. Sure, there are bad guys all over the place, but compare to the US there’s really only a handful of entities in the post WWII era that could be equals, and none more evil.







  • Everything. It wasn’t up to them. According to their ruling it’s up to the prosecutor or movant, without being able to subpoena any involved, to prove anything a president does is not an official act.

    Since that’s an impossible bar to clear with clear scotus ruling, every judge must dismiss, prejudicially, any charge against a president without the president doing anything.




  • Obama was also 16 years ago and a plurality of rep voters since that time, in the specific demo you mention, have long since died.

    Racism is absolutely alive and thriving, don’t get me wrong, but if montana can elect a trans person and most the south have black members in their state congresses for the first time since jim crow, it’s not as big an issue as it once was.

    What unifies left and right voters is talk of focusing on the working class, acknowledging their struggle, and presenting some plan. It doesn’t even have to be good as we’ve seen from trump’s first election. You just have to not be a fucking snob.

    And guess who is great at messaging that vibe while having been put down by right wing media for being too working class? AOC.

    She’s left wing enough to energize disillusioned leftie votes, she’s young enough to energize disillusioned youth votes, she’s right wing enough to not scare off conservatives, and she’s working class enough to connect with dissimilar working class voters. Add on to the constant stories of trumps ineptitude even being pushed by right wing media and you have the perfect answer to her inexperience.

    If the dems want to have the slightest chance of winning, she’s the only candidate with enough name recognition to come close to winning. If they run yet another career politician or corrupt cop, they want to lose, simple as that.


  • The problem with clinton an harris was not that they were women, for fucks sake. Clinton is a racist ghoul that spent her career, at best, advocating against the working class. Even if she could differentiate herself from her husband, which she never even tried to, she’s still a racist conservative whose entire messaging was that she was owed a ‘turn’ as president.

    And harris was a right wing genocidal cop.

    The problem is not that these evil people are women, it’s that they have no differentiating factors from 1990s republicans. And dems want nonrepublican candidates, not old republican candidates.
