At their core, the American left-accelerationist is a Protestant. We are all sinners and must suffer and be punished, in their eyes. Only once we're all punished can we be Saved in the Messianic Age

They saw the Biden campaign's ad buys so they need the campaign to waste money on something that doesn't work instead

Personally, I am not fucking leaving and if things do truly go sideways, belief in some larger ideal will be absolutely necessary to endure what may yet be to come. There is no glory in nihilism, no victory over the enemy in individualism.

In spite of everything, Donald Trump is still facing the worst electoral map of his political career. He is weak. The RNC is weak. He's is facing an incumbent who beat him once already. America is furious about Roe. He could win, but it is so, so far from a forgone conclusion.

And, as much as I hate Joe Biden (and I do!), the man is a six term US Senator, a former VP who actually did something, and an extremely capable administrator. If we were focused on the job of president and not the spectacle of it then this would be obvious, but we keep getting caught in the circus

Conceding the premise that the presidency is a show and all that matters is how it’s perceived and not what it can do has infected our entire politics, and given Republicans carte blanche to be incompetent because it doesn’t matter that they fail it only matters that they can sell it as success

This is the climate policy we get with a court system invested in a dictatorship of Republicans: the President has total immunity and absolute power...unless he's a Democrat & does something good for the country.

THE FOUNDERS: The only thing we agree on is that we fucking hate kings. Kings are the worst. Our primary goal for a new country is "no kings". ROBERTS: We must do exactly as the founders intended, which is to call our king "president".
