Herstory Begins Now posted:I agree with this in spirit but I think this perspective particularly misses the point wrt actually understanding neo-nazi and white nationalist individuals and groups and its integration within the business/local/state/national power structure. Yeah they're losers but they're very often in powerful positions in the establishment power structure and if they were merely powerless assholes who just wanted to feel important it would be a huge improvement. It almost definitionally is not something that people are into because they have nothing and their lives are poo poo. Much of what is so damaging about it is that it specifically is people who are integrated into their communities, who have seemingly good lives*, who are in powerful positions and are able to use those to make things easier for their side and harder for everyone else. It's often people who are socially and/or economically on top who come from families that have been doing well for a long time. If anything a lot of it seems to come out of a worldview that recognizes someone will always be on the bottom and you really, really do not want that to be you. 'white pride' is functionally more of a shibboleth for the above than necessarily a literal statement, though sometimes it also is said literally, too. i guess outside my normal wheelhouse, though i'd be curious how the social elites end up in that sphere too, and to what extent they're true believers (at least at the outset) or morally flexible sorts who couldn't find a "good" power/profit base and realized you can hella grift off the lumpenazitariat if you offer an uh.... alternative viewpoint. you maybe fail at working your way into traditional power structures but find you can totally build one elsewhere if you're willing to sell a bitta soul

Most of them I've talked to about it seem to be true believers, and I've largely given up on talking about it to them. The inroads into this thinking seems to 100% be Fox News and what your social group already believes since these are not people of the age to be getting radicalized online.

Joe Biden floats Gavin Newsom presidency at APEC welcome reception in San Franciscoquote:President Joe Biden led off his remarks at an APEC welcome reception in San Francisco on Wednesday evening by semi-jokingly floating a future Gavin Newsom presidency. Newsom should be disqualified for being unable to imagine running against Harris.

Just constantly disappointed that our typical future choices for representation are "a literal nazi" or "someone who does not care to help you in any material way". It's obvious who should be chosen here, but enraging that it's likely going to be the most common choice.

Ah yes Kamala Harris, incredibly popular former senator from California *checks polls* correction former senator from California.quote:In sum, just 37% of voters say they have enthusiasm for a Harris presidential bid, compared with a whopping 59% who expressed hesitancy. When looking at the results among only Democratic voters, 56% say they'd be enthusiastic, while 41% said they would not be. The fact that 4 in 10 California Democrats don't want to see Harris run for president is extremely worrying news for her. Her entire candidacy in 2020 could be generously described as a whispy fart, but sure I guess she's the next chosen one on the national level according to the lanyard class.

I forgot the detail that Biden publicly promised to pick a woman as his VP on stage at the last Dem Primary debate in March as a needless gimmick three weeks before Bernie suspended his campaign lol. And then he ends up picking the woman who got less popular votes than Marianne Williamson in the primary.

davecrazy posted:Why do people treat Harris like she’s the female Dan Quayle? The major thing is that she hasn't had a Big Successful Project. Best as we can tell, she's given a lot of poo poo to deal with (like border stuff) and may or may not make it better. But her and her office will sure talk about the infighting or be really defensive about stuff! Biden with Obama was in charge of recovery programs and stimulus stuff, so it was clear what he did and was doing at the time. Not really the case with VP Harris!

pantslesswithwolves posted:Harris ended her campaign before the first primary was even held. So did Williamson, however: Marianne Williamson total primary votes: 22,334 Kamala Harris total primary votes: __844__ It's possible that Williamson's name was left on some early ballots and Harris' wasn't, but overall Harris' campaign was incredibly lackluster, especially given that Warren and Klobuchar both did respectively well in the early contests. Probably the biggest knock against Harris' Vice-Presidency is that there's been no evidence of effort to try and grow her standing and political capital as a future leader in the Democratic Party. That may not entirely be on her, certainly the Biden administration has given her some thankless jobs like border security which were never going to result in a happy or successful resolution. It does place a lot of risk on what happens if Biden dies or becomes incapacitated though, overnight Harris is going to have to become the face of both the party and government and if they haven't built up public confidence in her then there's a greater chance of the GOP managing to sweep in on the next election under the "Dems in Disarray" banner.

In addition to the cop stuff, she's got a real lack of charisma and to top it off, one of the most unfortunate nervous laughs I've ever seen. It's a rough combination for someone in the national political spotlight. That said she works alright on Biden's ticket from the perspective of wanting to actually win elections because Biden's strength is pulling support from the center-right/right-leaning independents and her appeal is a lot more in that direction than to the left flank of the dems.
