moderately annoying

IMO being mad at either bruenig is a red flag that you’re loving up and need to take a day off and rethink your take again tomorrow

framing yourself as the world's #1 m4a advocate and then going after someone for supporting the only presidential candidate to endorse single payer in the last 20 years instead of VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO is a pro play

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/04/13/fact-check-bill-clinton-1994-crime-bill/82951450/

Joe Biden was right that there was a drop in crime after the 1994 crime bill, and although there were a lot of other factors that contributed to the drop, the bill likely contributed to that drop, although "most studies suggest the drop was unlikely to have been large" in the words of the National Research Council. A better point is that it's wrong for Joe Biden to implicitly take credit for all of the drop in the 1994 crime bill, that there are a lot of other ways to reduce crime including programs like education for prisoners, and that the contribution to the drop in crime was in absolutely no way worth the the drastic increase in sentencing including death penalty offenses. "Where do you go to school" in a conversation where he was correcting somebody while himself being factually wrong shows that Joe Biden is elitist. He dropped the word on Warren, so as hard a pill as it is him to swallow, he should be able to swallow it himself.

I wanna get out of my own echo chamber and get the perspective of EW from her own supporters. So I’m hoping for a good conversation here if you’ll have me. I’ll be frank, but respectful about my position on her as a candidate.

My take:

EW promotes tribalism and divisiveness and it is eroding our democracy by undermining civility and cooperative behaviors. I find the constant finger pointing at Republicans and conservatives, no matter how wrong I agree that they might be, not only hypocritical and disappointing, but ignorant of the fact that its discriminatory and a poor quality in a leader.

She promotes herself as the policy candidate, but I’ve never found her policy ideas compelling. Admittedly, I haven’t read the full length policies, but I’ve long stood against her authoritarian approach - similar to Bernie Sanders. The wealth tax won’t be effective. It’s been tried and repealed because its a beast to administer and doesn’t generate the tax revenue it intends to - by a large margin.

She is out of touch with modern day problems and modern day solutions. Important note: I’m an Andrew Yang supporter myself. Now, Yang utterly wrecked her when it came to debating their economic policies in the October debate - tax policy and automation being the central topics. She doesn’t look at things from a dynamic perspective and misses both the likely outcomes of what we have happening now and what she wants to do about those issues.

I have an immense amount of respect for EW and would have supported her run in 2016. I think she’s well intentioned and honest enough to try to correct herself, but the limelight and stakes of this campaign make it difficult for her to do that. I want nothing but the best for her in life. That said, I have serious questions about whether I could support her in the general. I certainly won’t vote for Trump, but I can’t in good conscience say I’ll cast my vote for EW. She isn’t a villain, I just don’t believe in her as a leader.

I hope we cam discuss this in good faith and I’m looking forward to hearing rebuttals. Obviously my statements are damning, but as she is likely to win the primary as it stands, I want to be able to support her. Help me.

the only appropriate way to moderate cspam would be with IKs appointed by people's councils

any outsider will just be a colonial occupier

any true native would never willingly become a mod because it's class treason
