i think the thing that is leading me to check out of the biden conversation as much as possible is the sheer amount of certainty being expressed. i am not at all confident that i really know anything here!

What’s going to be fun in six months is that no matter what happens in the election everyone is going to pretend they knew exactly what to do when clearly no one has any fucking clue

Or is it that you want to be able to say you were right? If so, don't bother--being wrong about things doesn't matter anymore, you will still get to be a pundit no matter how many times you're wrong.

I guess my question for so many of these people is what do you hope will happen as a result of your analysis? Who are you talking to and what do you want them to do? Because right now it seems like you want to be heard and obeyed by people who aren't listening, and we're just miserable bystanders.

A thing that you have to confront a lot in union organizing is that ‘the people with the power to address our demand don’t want to do it’ doesn’t settle anything.

Not a single person on this site is keeping Joe Biden on the ticket. Not a single person on this site can ensure a Democratic win if they just believe your analysis hard enough.

I don't get it when people point out that Project 2025 is "nothing new." Yes, obviously, right-wingers have been fanatics for decades. They were blowing up abortion clinics and shooting doctors when I was a kid. But, as you may have noticed, their political vision has kind of been coming together.

There is particular power in such an ideologically diverse coalition rejecting the French right because fascists should be reminded often that they’re repugnant to a broad swath of society, not just getting outmaneuvered by the wily left

Is this a place for recipe ideas yet? I got a bunch of chard from the CSA this week and all of my chard recipes are soup or oven-based. Any ideas for what to use it in? I'd like to do more than just sauté it.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.
