Flavius Aetass posted:I still don't understand why he had so much black support in the primaries, but I guess most people see things wildly different than we do. It's not really hard to understand. Most people's opinions about politicians are based off of a vague impression of those politicians as people that they absorb from the media. Any individual facts about that politician's actions are irrelevant, because their opinion isn't based off of facts about what the politicians have actually done/said. There's also the fact that nearly everyone over the age of ~50 or so has a profoundly different perspective in terms of the information they're exposed to. Most of the stuff we read/see because it spread through the internet is completely invisible to most older people - they only see and hear what the television chooses to discuss. And even if something like the Kamala debate moment is televised, that's just one moment amidst hours and hours of other news programming. I'm of the opinion that Americans* of a certain age range are possibly the most thoroughly propagandized population in most of human history. I think that the existence of television makes a huge difference, because it's the first time in history that people are exposed to so much media (virtually all of which is corporate media directly acting in the interests of the wealthy and the US government, due to the restrictions of television), and that the generation(s) of people who had access to television for most of their lives and only (if ever) gained internet access at an old age were in a unique position in terms of the sheer volume of propaganda they're exposed to. With people older than that there was less ability to enforce an ideology on nearly every single topic (so you had room for stuff like people independently developing certain elements of their ideologies), and for younger people we're less likely to instinctively derive all our information from television (so it's easier for people to have non-mainstream ideologies). * this probably applies to many other countries as well

Atrocious Joe posted:shocked that people need to be told who Ron Fournier is ive actually read it and its the classic centrist/lib thing of recognizing a real issue (decline of community & increase in alienation) and embracing the most backwards and wrong way to deal with it (lets fill politics chotchkies that provide a simulacrum of community) and in that way, it owns. like that book and the brains behind it is a big part of why dem politicians run political campaigns like they're decorating, well, an applebees.

It's actually masterful because on the outside, she appears to express a desire for bipartisanship, but any GOP politician watching it will be feeling personally attacked and skewered. It's great.

leftism hot take: much is made in leftist circles of the fight over whether the Dems are compromised or simply utterly and irrecoverably incompetent, but the answer is pretty obviously "both" ideologically they are servants of capital, and also, they are pretty objectively bad at their jobs because they keep obviously loving losing even when they win betting big on impeachment, and then losing, twice whining about how they don't have enough votes to do anything at all even when they have a supermajority if they were good at their jobs they'd at least make it seem like they were winning even when they do nothing to help anyone, but they can't even manage that

a president tried to kill them with an armed mob and they have both houses of congress and they still can't win an impeachment vote because *womp womp womp* like, if they were GOOD at their jobs as handmaidens for capital, they'd successfully impeach Trump and then keep everybody talking about that instead of COVID checks until loving 2022 but they can't even do that right

the current rebuttal seems to be "ah, but trump will be finished when the CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION finishes" and ok let's take a trip to an imaginary world where that happens, then the narrative becomes "DEMS TOO STUPID TO IMPEACH OBVIOUS CRIMINAL"

the whole "you have to choose one major party or the other" narrative is hosed beyond belief because our choices are (a) bad people who are also the dumbest motherfuckers on earth, or (b) worse people who are extremely competent the compromise lesser-evil party isn't even the competent ones, they just like to talk about how accomplished and pragmatic they are and then eat poo poo in public over and over for decades and they're not even lovable dopes with their hearts in the right place, their goals are ALSO OBJECTIVELY BAD god I hate this loving country sometimes, couldn't I have been born somewhere else

like, our choices are the Washington Generals trying to kick you in the dick, or the Harlem Globetrotters trying to burn you alive with acid and as succzones past and present have shown, the country is full of people ecstatic to get kicked in the dick by a professional loser because they're that proud of not supporting the competent acid burners Yinlock posted:also they always force "lesser evil" like it's the only choice and they couldn't just nominate someone who isn't an evil gently caress I had a re-meltdown over how lovely the media was about the primary last night while high as balls my first and only time getting high post-baby-birth and I spent it thinking about that poo poo again and also playing FFT so that part was cool
