Congratulations to Kamala Harris on shattering the glass ceiling of denying poor people a living wage.

Sure. I was in Bolivia in 2016 doing aid work while Evo was trying to get his constituional amendment passed to let him do the extra term. Bolivians were talking about it constantly, and there were very mixed feelings. Undoubtedly the guy has done immense good for Bolivia, but people were really wary about his growing authoritarian tendency.

This was in cocha, not santa cruz or something. working people and students.

I thought Evo was loving great for a long time. But he's a man, and men are fallible, and we shouldn't put men on pedestals. I don't think the coup was right or justified, but i also don't think evo was justified in grabbing for more power pre-coup rather than stepping aside and enthusiastically supporting a good successor.

I'm enormously glad that the coup failed and that the people of Bolivia still have a democratic government.

What is the growing authoritarian tendency? Being elected multiple times? Also are you CIA?

Yeah that objection essentially boils down to "Evo used the machinery of his country's democracy too successfully" as far as I can tell, which isn't interesting enough to merit further discussion IMO so let's get back to the succ (this means you too how are u)

Now I reach the point where the thread has moved on and I still have questions.

It is insanely cool that almost everything used to shame us into voting blue has already been walked back. Minimum wage, "public option", treating immigrants humanely, Covid relief... they bumped the squad from their committee seats and even halfassed the impeachment

But if, using a complex series of tubes, you fart into your own mouth until mild hypoxia sets in and clears out just enough of your gray matter, you'll realize none of these bad things actually happened! You're just being a doombrained nihilist, and if they did happen, well, they were actually good.

ty. i dig through the succ-generating threads occasionally because i don't want to forget that liberalism is a communicable mental disease.

People who have spent years practicing the art of the unsourced quote develop a special technique where they can directly channel the mind of a liberal and spawn the quotes from their own mind.

edit: It's like when someone has played so much Tetris that they constantly see falling blocks, only in this case they constantly see bad posts produced by their subconscious mind

the feeling that the perfect unsourced quote post for any given situation is always out there. trying to satisfy that feeling is dangerous because there is no perfect unsourced post outside your own mind and you will contract internet diseases trying to find it.

this is why you can never accept the lesser of two evils framing and also why the notion of gaining a "seat at the table" is a fallacy; if you can be shamed into voting blue then why give you anything at all?

Yinlock posted:

on this basis alone, FTV was an unqualified success. it was astounding how hard the supposed backers of M4A worked to defeat M4A when an excellent time for advancing it appeared. then all of the arguments against FTV were shamelessly inverted and applied to the impeachment by the same people.
