Biden was polling like fifth in 2020 because he's a doddering old man. Then the stupidest people on the planet (D primary voters) got spooked and did the dumbest thing. Then Biden barely beat Trump when Trump was presiding over the worst health disaster in 100 years.

Trump is going to annihilate Biden.

Let's be fair to D primary voters. The stupidest people on the planet who got spooked and did the dumbest thing were Jim Clyburn and Barack Obama for pushing Biden in SC and ordering the Voltron, respectively. D primary voters just followed their orders like good soldiers.

Yeah, for once, the D primary voters weren't the dumbest group. They were rationally rejecting Biden for the most part. Nothing about his surge was genuine.

As antisemitism flourishes online, and religion is weaponized and politicized, it’s a “Sonic the Hedgehog” show (?!?!) that lights the prayer candle we need.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/knuckles-is-the-show-jews-need-right-nowseriously

quote:

At the dinner table, Wendy and Knuckles connect when talking about the history of their people. Knuckles reveals that the echidnas were wiped out by a fleet of giant owls and that he is the last of his tribe. “Our tribe has been through some tough times too,” she responds, adding, “minus the giant owls. He’s basically Jewish!”

Except that in the 2nd movie we know that the echidnas created the master emerald and were using it for military expansionism (or at least implied). And in the first movie they kill an unarmed owl with a child in literally the first 5 minutes. I guess maybe Wendy is referencing history post-1947?

Edit: I was gonna say the comics are better, but then remembered Knuckles in those is a genetic experiment where his dad irradiated Knuckles' egg with chaos emerald rays (?) plus other echidnas are doing weird dimensional stuff.

"can never articulate their end goals" stop giving Israel money and materiel isn't articulate enough? or is that discounted as a policy proposal because it's not "serious" enough?

Literally every major movement I've seen in my lifetime has everyone coalesce around the idea of "they have no core message" even though there's very obvious ones pull from it. Stuff like OWS and BLM had very clear core messages it shouldn't take a journalist to uncover, and yet these journalists couldn't identify simple stuff like "get money out of politics" or "stop giving police money to suppress people", I'm sure despite the world's simplest call to action "stop supporting genocide" they'll go back to the same well with "hmm we can't figure out what they want I guess they just want to look rebellious for social media".

Every major US news organization, in addition to being wholly corporate and having the obvious motives associated, is entirely used to messaging being total bullshit. Just writing things on a sign and yelling has nothing to do with what anybody really wants or why they're doing it because feelings aren't real. The real question is how they're making money from this, which means finding out who's paying the protestors to turn out and wave signs and whatnot which'll tell them the motivations behind the protests. Just like how the anti-lockdown and vaxx people eventually owned up to being paid and that pretty much ended the story aside from the outlets making propaganda hay out of it. If nobody's owning up to being paid and by who, then clearly there's no journalistically discernible motive.

I'M HAVING A HOOT EATING CORNETTE THE LONG WAY
I just got finished watching the John Adams miniseries as I've mentioned before and if there's one thing I'm taking away from it, it's the sheer amount of effort it expends making you care about the intricate details of Federalism vs. Republicanism in the opening decades of the country's existence, the tenuous international alliances we navigated, the shaky and fitful ground on which our institutions are built. You can only sit in quiet awe of how seriously we were once expected to take all this poo poo.

It was made years before TRUMP and so it's hardly a commentary on ~all this~, but looked at in retrospect it's like an artifact from an ancient lost civilization. Going from people who kept themselves up all night thinking about weighty issues of human rights and the nature of liberty and how properly to balance competing domestic interests in a way that preserves national unity, sitting in studies full of stacks of paper where they've spent decades writing and refining all their thoughts in defense of their theories and their motivations and convictions and honor — to a zip file of tweet dumps about ELECTION INTERFERENCE!! WITCH HUNT!! from a porn-star-loving serial fraudster who gains more momentum with every federal and state felony indictment he racks up

The final line of the series is: "Ah, posterity. You will never know how much it cost us to preserve your freedom. I hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it."
