I really think they either want to lose or do not care about losing.

Wow, very cool and not at all anti-semitic to see a major media company label a huge Jewish political group as a foreign and insidious agent!

Allowing your base to eat itself and gaslighting potential voters 6 months before the election because you want to continue enabling a genocide and arresting student protestors is one of the most stunning errors I could possibly imagine a political party making

And yet all they can do is point to the crumbs and all the things they could get done with another four more years pause

I touched on this theory awhile ago, possibly back in one of the bad thread iterations, but I think the big misconception here is that we have an entirely different idea of what constitutes Winning and Losing compared to what the actual politicians consider to be Winning and Losing.

Like, to our feeble peasant understanding, winning would be "Getting the most votes and elected to office in order to push for bills and reforms"
To the people actually in power though, winning is "Being paid exorbitant amounts of money and having prestige among the commonfolk without actually having to do anything."

Pelosi "lost" her Speaker position, but she still gets to do all the insider trading and ice cream hawking she wants. If AOC lost her seat tomorrow, do you think it would take her long at all to land some lucrative gig as a commentator on MSNBC or get in with some lobbying firm, or hell, just have someone ghostwrite a book for her and hit that circuit?

When one of us loses our job, it's catastrophic. We now face homelessness and being rapidly crushed by our debts (rather than slowly crushed), we lose what little protection we had through what passes as health insurance.
A politician loses their job, and they just move into the new office their golden parachute landed them into and don't miss a beat.

This is all true. It's what happens when you have no beliefs beyond obtaining personal wealth and clout.

it's all such a bizarre overreaction

my own beloved alma mater just called in the cops on a bunch of dorks on a damp, chilly lawn near the old library, the one nobody uses. if it had been left on its own it would have been gone inside of 24 hours, 36 on the outside. they have absolutely no way to accomplish anything beyond generate It's A Bad Look, Chief memes, and the administration's coming down on it harder than they've come down on anything in a generation

if they could believe it was going to dissuade the kids I could -maybe- see it but come the gently caress on, you have just told a bunch of late teens early 20somethings that they've got some kind of power over you, what do you think their next move is going to be

https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/noncompete-rule.pdf There's some stuff like existing non-competes for senior executives will still apply, and it doesn't apply to people who, say, sell a business. I'm not expert but it seems... fine?

There's still that whole "gave material support to a genocide" thing, so I'm still not voting for the Dems, but this seems not awful.
