lmao Harris already walked back her support for abolishing private insurance again

I'm shocked. Stunned.

One thing that was cool about this debate was the ongoing confirmation that a lot of the centrists running present a material danger to the continued well being of the American peasantry just trying to hold down two contractor gig jobs with terrible or no health insurance while raising a kid who hopefully won't be shot in high school.

I haven't read or posted much in D&D in a bit. I saw that two mods I respect processed this probe, and I'm curious what specifically happened that needs to be avoided, especially since I feel like screaming the above anti-centrist sentiment most days when reading Twitter on the shitter.

I guess it's useful to reaffirm the notion that most voters don't actually know much about candidates and their politics at all, and that dumb factors like name recognition matter far more than whether two politicians like, say, Biden and Sanders are about as far apart from each other as any of these candidates could be.

It's also depressing.

I still support Harris, but Warren is my second choice. My top six, for what it is worth) are:

Harris

Warren

Booker

Inslee

Klobuchar

Gillibrand

These are the ones I could enthusiastically support. For the most part the rest are from “I’ll vote for them, but not as happily.” Still six good (if not perfect) candidates is pretty amazing!

I kinda want to get to know you, in a "What was it like to know a French collabo?" way.

I'm really not kidding. A stance of "I support expansion of the corporate state, imperialism, and civil rights lip service" is alien enough to me that I can't get angry at it. It's fascinating. Even the alt-right thinks they're anti-corporatist/anti-imperialist; your candidates don't even bother concealing their regressive, imperialist stances very much.

I can't drop this Williamson stuff.

Williamson is the spokesperson for a portion of our society that has been cowed into passive acceptance of their material deprivation. To wit, "we don't need that expensive medicine for healing, faith will be enough."
