I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:Originally posted by second: One reason why U.S. politics is so contested is because a battle is taking place between two rival growth models. One growth model is represented by the economies of the two coasts – software, media, government, finance, real estate, and the like...
Quote: The other model is found in the part of the country going from Alaska down the Dakotas through Appalachia, Texas, the panhandle, and so on. This has a growth model based around the transformation, excavation, and derivatives of carbon: farms, fertilizer, and fuel. These two growth models are in fundamental conflict. The coasts would love green energy, but the more that the U.S. turns green, the worse it is for parts of the country that are heavily invested in carbon assets.
Quote: As Jeff Colgan, Jessica Green, and Thomas Hale have argued, this gives rise to “existential politics.” Getting to cheap green electricity would effectively devalue or defund North Dakota and Shell. This existential fight is reshaping the Democratic and Republican coalitions.

Quote:Why Cornel West is broke https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimadenham/2023/12/01/why-cornel-west-is-broke/?sh=59df9dec55aa Cornel West has been a fixture of American society for more than three decades, publishing books, teaching at Ivy League institutions, commenting on cable news, collaborating on music with Prince—even popping up in sequels to the Matrix. Ubiquity provided liquidity, with West earning an estimated $15 million or so over the last 30 years. But oddly, as he mounts an independent run for president, his net worth resembles that of a first-year adjunct professor. “I live paycheck to paycheck,” says West.

Quote: Trump Campaign Strikes Back At 'Dictator' Hit-Piece In WaPo, Gaetz Says 'Green-Lighting Assassination' Tuesday, Dec 05, 2023 - 08:05 AM Over the last week, several outlets published articles warning that a second Trump term would turn America into a dictatorship. The Washington Post most notably ran a piece written by Robert Kagan, husband of Former State Department official Victoria Nuland (who was deeply involved in peddling the Steele dossier) titled "A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending." Many suggested this was a clear call to assassinate the former US President. Let’s stop the wishful thinking and face the stark reality: There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. In 13 weeks, Donald Trump will have locked up the Republican nomination. […] Are we going to do anything about it? To shift metaphors, if we thought there was a 50 percent chance of an asteroid crashing into North America a year from now, would we be content to hope that it wouldn’t? Or would we be taking every conceivable measure to try to stop it, including many things that might not work but that, given the magnitude of the crisis, must be tried anyway? Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said in response on X, "They're obviously green-lighting assassination." In addition to the post, The Atlantic and the NY Times have also published stories warning of a "Trump dictatorship" in recent days, with the Times suggesting that a second Trump term would likely be more radical than his first, The Hill reports. "All of these articles calling Trump a dictator are about one thing: legitimizing illegal and violent conduct as we get closer to the election," wrote Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) on X. "Everyone needs to take a chill pill."

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: Quote:Originally posted by second: Republicans still think Democrats stole the 2020 election They did. Through en-mass mail-in ballots per Covid rules in swing states that had as little as 10,000 votes decide the race, and allowing unsupervised ballot harvesting in drop boxes. How many ballots for Trump were thrown in the trash or burned in a firepit by the people collecting mail-in ballots door to door? And let's not pretend like Democrats don't cry foul every time they lose an election dude. There are plenty of videos out there of prominent Democrats at a podium or in live interviews claiming elections were stolen every time they lost, going all the way back to Bush/Gore. So I guess the real question here is, what's your fucking point?

Quote:Originally posted by second: Why Trump Refuses to Deny He Plans to Become a Dictator By Jonathan Chait | Dec. 6, 2023 Donald Trump’s threats to use the presidency as a vindictive weapon to punish his enemies have grown so naked that his allies now find it inconvenient. They are irritated — not with Trump, but with the news media for reporting on his undisguised plans. They recognize “I am your retribution” is comic-book-villain dialogue, not an effective message for swing voters. Their goal is to give the party some plausible deniability that the man they are planning to install atop the executive branch will not attack the foundations of the republic. Trump, however, is refusing to cooperate with the charade. Trump’s allies insist that coverage of his plans is actually a scheme to seed violence against Trump. “All of these articles calling Trump a dictator are about one thing: legitimizing illegal and violent conduct as we get closer to the election,” proclaims Senator J.D. Vance. “This extreme and dangerous genre — of claiming Trump is Hitler (because, they say, he might do what Democrats are doing right now) — should probably be given the name ‘Assassination Prep,’” warns the Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway. The whole pretense of these complaints is that Trump has done or said nothing dangerous or unusual, and that reporting on his plans and public statements is a form of dangerous incitement. They are all but begging Trump to give them a shred of deniability. He can simply say, even with a wink, that he doesn’t wish to become America’s Putin. He won’t give them even that — because, to Trump, being called “dictator” is a compliment his ego won’t permit him to deny.

People in Washington conspired to thwart a democratic election; use the DOJ, CIA, and FBI to spread malicious rumors and lies; use the media to spread fake news, censor real news; DOJ to whip up ridiculous charges against Trump and peaceful protesters, holding many in solitary under unconscionable conditions for months before trial; converting nonviolent behavior into "terrorism"; whitewash evidence of crimes committed by Hillary, Hunter, Joe, and others; impose policies of "the interagency" over those voted for by the American electorate... I'm sure ALL of the people who did these things not only violated the terms of their employment, they failed to defend and protect the USA and made a mockery of the Constitution and the concept of justice. They DESERVE to be fired if not charged with crimes. I'm sure truth, justice, and democracy mean NOTHING to you since you're an inveterate liar, a monumental hypocrite, and you despise everyone who isn't you. But they still mean something to me, and they should mean something to everyone bc were supposed to be able to trust that the system works for everyone, not just a select few. That's the glue that's supposed to be holding us all together. But I know why you have such a soft spot for Ukraine: you're as corrupt as they are. Maybe you should move there!
