Isn't "all of my friends should be friends with each other" the first entry in that old essay about nerd fallacies about friendship? You're taking it like three deranged steps further with "all of the people who pretend to have the same friends by listening to a podcast should be friends with that podcast's friends"

Cum Town has adopted the remote recording style way better than Chapo imo, the last few eps were torture with everyone talking over each other

if you thought social democracy was going to succeed in Demon Cracker Nation USA, even if Sanders somehow slipped through the cracks into the presidency, you had a bitter pill coming anyway

that said, this is no time to give into defeatist nonsense, nobody knows what tomorrow brings, and the metropole is about to start coming apart at the seams. who can say what happens after that with any real confidence?

well yeah what youre saying is correct and I'm not being defeatist but the reality is that in terms of visible options ahead of us all roads to something better have been cut off and now all we can do is ride the upcoming tornado and face an uncertain future, we truly have no idea what will happen next but I'm just working with the information I have here and none of it is encouraging at the moment. like, I truly dont have anything to look forward to politically in the world at all based on the information and reality presented to me. I'll hope some kind of deus ex machina comes by soon though but I'm not holding my breath. The real kick in the balls is that we had a deadline and it looks like it wont be met so lol good luck everyone.

yeah it sucks not having a clear sense of what comes next. all we can do is be patient and take action when an opportunity presents itself, and do our best to survive in the meanwhile.

we do have one thing to look forward to,though. trump v biden is gonna generate a lot of wild content. what a time to be alive

I think Cum town is gross and also the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. Everybody can relate with this I hope and to each their own. I don't get why there's animosity between both podcast audiences but It's weird when people meltdown because of dumb jokes.

Personally I find Enlightened Hindsight Leftism to be at least as annoying as Enlightened Centrism. Dunking on someone's optimism by telling them they should have known the world sucks isn't really a useful point to make. Also if Bernie had somehow eked out ahead and some History Happened and he became president you would have been wrong and wouldn't have felt the need to dunk on someone so unless you are arguing that you literally knew what was going to happen with accuracy beyond hedging bets and can prognosticate with reliability in the future I don't really get what the point is.

A lot of the time "haha you believed in electoralism" comes across as just the nirvana fallacy in disguise.

Why does Will think being Biden's VP would be some kind of punishment for Warren and her supporters? She's a soulless careerist, and her supporters are a couple notches less crazy than the KHive people. They'd be yass kweening every corporate bailout.

I'm starting to have negative reactions to anyone who calls themselves "progressive" instead of like "leftist" or something.

I think this is the first step to 5 years down the road me being like "Anyone who isn't a dedicated third-world Maoist is Trot scum!"
