There are at most a few thousand votes represented by people reading this forum, and I'm pretty sure most of them are not in swing states. Whatever you believe in regarding what's the morally correct vote, please talk about it on twitter or something where someone might actually read it, for gently caress's sake. It's not any of the opinions here that bother me, it's the egregious failure of efficiency in promoting whatever voting behavior you think is good.

virtualboyCOLOR posted:Which is completely different from the current situation. In degree of magnitude, yeah. Anyway, nobody is ever going to altruistically run a country of hundreds of millions of people. It's a fantasy. It's not a thing homo sapiens are willing to do. Culture can change and regular people can learn to be less selfish, sure absolutely. But not political leaders of massive nations. Best case scenario is having a high enough number of competing factions selfishly vying for power that they have more need to curry favor with the public.

TwoQuestions posted:I don't know how to feel about this, it's been clear for some time that the Reps do better when Trump keeps his fat loving mouth shut, and he seems to be able to do that. He's just bad at finding alternative platforms with actual reach, same as he's bad at most things other than Being Trump. But yeah the outcome is similar.

Doesn't mean full-on fascism can't happen here, just means it can/will play out differently, and balkanization is more of a possibility.

virtualboyCOLOR posted:I think those arguing Biden can not do XYZ because of fear or expectation judges will strike down EOs are arguing in bad faith. If anything, judges striking down EOs would actually be a benefit when Trump sweeps in 2024. Honestly we either get good EOs or on the books rulings that limit the presidents power. This just seems like you're saying they're uh, wrong. Arguing in bad faith would be like if they legitimately did not want student debt to be forgiven and were hiding behind rules, or were just posting to piss off people who want student debt forgiven, or something like that.

virtualboyCOLOR posted:Exactly. I can not see a logical reason to argue against doing this other than: That's fine but coming from a place of privilege and/or being unproductively stuck in rules lawyer mode is not the same as arguing in bad faith. Failing to follow the same logical train of thought as you, is not the same as arguing in bad faith. Why are these buzzwords necessary when people simply have wrong opinions.

VitalSigns posted:I think everyone wants those things to happen, but I still think the arguments are bad faith because they're rationalizations for why it's ok for Biden not to use the power of the office, not any real principled belief. So just say they're rationalizing. The only thing I can guess is that you're arguing that they're 'lying to themselves' and that somehow that's a form of bad faith argument, but no. Bad faith refers to a willful deception. To be clear, I can't think of any actual argument against the substance of what you're saying. It does in fact look pretty fuckin bad in terms of Biden actually having any interest in helping people who need help, just based on my limited knowledge of what's going on. It's just the abuse of overused terms that's driving me nuts.
