yea. there are valid reasons Biden can't be president anymore imo (he really is gone mentally) but making the implicit argument that anyone even mildly physically disabled can't do the job, or that if you're old enough for a walker you can't do the job, is ridiculous.

definitely set up a profile picture! not having one is a bad sign around here to a lot of people 💛. to find people to follow find one person, then look at who THEY follow, then do the same for them, and just fine people you might like that way

this OP is the holy grail of being able to identify misinformation from an AI's perspective. I will not trust an AI to be good at it until it could reliably label the OP as misinformation lol

you might not be ready to hear this, but build dual power outside of government. encourage or demand that your business become a full worker cooperative. create organizations in your local community that would be able to help run local services if the government started to fail to do its job.

that doesn't mean he shouldn't do it tho. if he did the below, he might get convicted in like 4 years of a crime but he'll be dead by then and once the Supreme Court sets precedent that you can't actually arrest your political opponents, Trump wouldn't be able to do it.

remember that anything he does isn't automatically given qualified immunity, it just means it has to be an"official act". what's an official act? they didn't say, which means that will get litigated all the way back up to the (conservative) Supreme Court. Biden isn't as able to take action as Trump.

I personally don't think the main job of the president is policy, I think it's evangelism of The Platform. it's being the loudest voice for progress. and Joe Biden is currently the quietest voice in the party, so I'd rather have someone else. but against trump he's obv better.

Biden should announce *tomorrow* that Trump will be arrested and put in jail, go through all the pomp and circumstance, and then personally turn the key to let him out of jail. proving that he now has insane power as president that we don't want Trump having AND that Biden is the better moral choice

things would be marginally better than under Trump, and we would have 3 more liberal justices, meaning we still have Roe, Chevron, anda different result in Trump v. Anderson. I think that's pretty significant, don't you?

yes I agree fuck Joe Biden, and liberals are mostly proving they aren't capable of keeping fascism at bay by their own power. but in this instance it's pretty clear cut that if we had elected Not Donald Trump But The Other Person we would right now have a liberal supreme court

well tbf, we are in this SCOTUS mess bc Trump got elected in 2016. if we had continued to elect liberals or progressives at the same time we built dual power, things would be different. the real problem with liberals is they don't realize the importance of populism.

I genuinely believe at this point that after that debate Whitmer, Buttigieg, and Newsome would all be better candidates than Biden, and would give better chances to win against trump in November

I'd hazard a guess that most notable older ones like Jackson and Teddy are kiki, but recently it feels like mostly bouba. LBJ is kiki despite his rotundness. Obama is bouba for sure. Clinton, W, and Trump all seem bouba too. maybe it's universal that only notable presidents are kiki??

Harris is a literal charisma vampire. this close to the election we would HAVE to have someone electric who would be able to galvanize people. the only ones I see being able to do that are Whitmer, Buttigieg, and Newsome

no feelings went into making the AI art, so far fewer feelings will be felt by the audience of that art. there's both 1) no audience connection to a human struggle in creation, and 2) no human element that keeps the art genuinely transgressive and tasteful

this is why I'm convinced that small-r revolutions are the way to go. we need to slowly wrest power from capital, not all at once. for example if people for any reasons can't get their medications because of the way the revolution is structured, I'm against it
