Nichael posted:I actually don't know if they do use it against leftists. Like, people will say that a given leftist campaign is shot down to coordinated Democrat Party efforts, but in my experience that's not necessarily the case. The self-driving Misery Machine of America tends to crush dissent all by itself, with very little effort from the establishment. A great example of this in my own experience is when my friend and I helped the more left (not a literal cop) person to victory in the 2022 primaries. Their opponent was a white cop, in office for sixteen years, and he had zero electoral opposition from the Dems (in primaries) or the GOP in all sixteen years. He also didn't actively campaign at all, to a degree of laziness unheard of in even Delaware. He still only lost by 26 votes. they have used it before in some local races like buffalo or another im forgetting or trying to get 3rd parties off the ballot, but generally its reserved for national stuff typically local stuff they dont care as much since 1 person cant really do anything anyway

probably a similar line of thinking to conspiracy mindsets in general, where it's more comforting to think that someone has a malicious hand on the wheel rather than the cruelty being a byproduct of bureaucracy and capital

Porter and Lee were better the median, but that's such a low loving bar. I don't know the intricacies of Californian politics, but I feel like he mostly won on inertia from Trump stuff, since Trump has basically redefined all American politics to Trmup or not-Tmruiop. Of course though, he also artificially inflated the main chud opponent through clever ads. Anyway poo poo sucks,  .

But I think most cases are just byproducts of an effective machine designed to drive us into climate oblivion.

HashtagGirlboss posted:But most mainline Democratic Party stuff seems to still hang its head on segregationists blocking school entrances rather than technocrats distributing resources and the real problem is in the systems but there’s no energy to confront the systems it’s all about personal work I have a #girlboss family member who was hired by a major American alcohol or tobacco corporation to the tune of a quarter million dollars to be a brand manager. Her job specifically is selling a premium product to "POC Premium Consumers". So, like, imagine a step up from Newports, aimed at the country club set who actually do know what a spinnaker is. I think it's all very hokey and condescending, but apparently selling intoxicants to melanated people is a specialized skill that commands the same salary as a Canadian family doctor. The thing that kills me is that the modern democrat brand, which I had never been exposed to firsthand, seems so wrapped up in hustle, grindset, striver stuff and tokenism. Since she moved to Manhattan she's been on all sorts of podcasts and magazines talking about African American young professional this, African American woman in business that. Keep in mind, she's not American - she's a very well educated Canadian from a good family, she didn't show up with three bucks, two bags, one dream. She met the Lieutenant Governor, a family friend, when she was like 5 years old. Idk, I feel like it's disingenuous for a Canadian transplant PMC working for an alcohol or tobacco company, selling to rich black people, to go to Dem fundraisers and talk about the plight of African Americans and how their personal success is proof that racism is over, but, this is all anecdotal of course, it seems like in her social milieu this is sort of the norm. Well, my thinking is, marketing is marketing, and if this is what the people who produce culture believe, of course the Democrats and their college educated base are removed from any sort of material reality.

also I think all these theories on my part ultimately are just a discussion in an academic sense. the end result is exactly the same in that the end result is going to literally destroy the planet through the terrors of capitalism. it's interesting and fun to talk about, but it does gently caress all. that's why I take no problem with people saying I'm wrong on these fronts because I've got no emotional stake in being right with this.

Nichael posted:Likewise, they do use it against the big 3rd party candidates (RFK Jr., Stein, etc), but not so much against random third party candidates scattered around the nation. The fact that you don't see more winning is probably more do to lack of infrastructure, and lack of targeting vulnerable districts. But maybe I'm wrong? in 2022 the nc democratic party in conjunction with the dscc hired marc elias' law firm to sue the state elections board to remove the green party's senate candidate from the ballot and sent pinkertons to harass people at their homes who signed the petition to get the greens on the ballot the dscc openly admitted it at the time

Who's going?     Biden Victory Fund accepts contributions of up to $929,600 from a person and $415,000 from a multicandidate committee (“PAC”). The first $6,600/$10,000 from a person/PAC will be allocated to Biden for President, with the first $3,300/$5,000 designated for the primary and the next $3,300/$5,000 for the general election. The next $41,300/$15,000 from a person/PAC will be allocated to the DNC. The next $510,000/$255,000 from a person/PAC will be split equally among the Democratic state parties from: AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, and WY. Any additional funds will be allocated to the DNC, subject to applicable contribution limits. A contributor may designate his or her contribution for a particular participant by contacting contact@joebiden.com. The allocation formula above may change if following it would result in an excessive contribution. Contributions will be used in connection with federal elections, may be spent on any activity as each committee determines in its sole discretion, and will not be earmarked for any particular candidate. Federal law requires us to use our best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and name of employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 per election cycle. Biden Victory Fund does not accept contributions from corporations or their PACs, unions, federal contractors, national banks, those registered as federal lobbyists or under FARA, SEC-named executives of fossil fuel companies, or foreign nationals.

^^^ idk what that is. is testifying tomorrow at a House hearing about our president's dementia.quote:Of particular concern for the White House is whether Hur will provide any fresh details about his interview with Biden and the broader investigation that could fuel questions about the president’s mental acuity. Aides to Biden will be ready to push back on any new characterizations of Biden’s demeanor that they see as unfair, according to a person familiar with their strategy.
