TBH youâre not someone who should receive benefit of the doubt for it being a joke when you suggest a Jewish conspiracy
I see it as strictly a Netanyahu conspiracy.
First off, the post was written to Clovis, a PhD who Iâd hope would give me the grace of reading the post, not you.
Second off, having a grievance and then not reading a thoughtful post that brings a real world perspective because you thought it was too long is especially indicative of where we are in this country. It just says you want to whine and talk but donât want to listen, when reading a few paragraphs may have made you want to read the whole thing. Thatâs everywhere now. ChatGPT gave an A+ summary of it if thatâs more your speed that hokie posted.
Third off, itâs so easy to scroll without reading and not say anything. The unserious people decided they wanted to speak so whatever.
The fact that youâre serious about people needing to take your stream of consciousness seriously, thatâs why we are where we are
The entitlement and the Dunning Kruger are off the charts with this hill youâve decided to die on
It wasnât a hard post to understand. I bet everyone read it and got it. It just doesnât contribute much of anything to the discussion. People found amusement in the ratio of words to content
Not me. A chicken in every pot and a child in every cage, I say.

Ah shit. I meant to tag the guy whose name I confuse with yours. I donât confuse the two of you, just your names sometimes. I didnât mean to insult you by comparing him to you
I canât even think of his name right now
I love you and forgive you.

From the article:
And the gaslighting gets worse from there
How can anyone say with a straight face that the voters choose the nominee when they wouldnât even allow a primary debate? Just ridiculous

Grunching.
The DNC picking a candidate instead of a primary is not necessarily âless democracyâ
Pretty much all the countries that rank more democratic than the US in global rankings donât have primaries and just have party leadership picking candidatesâŚ

Do you think that affects their democracy score?
Surely itâs not the reason they rank higher. Or is it?
Besides, I am aiming my comment at the people who think the Dems behaved un-democratically in 2020. Surely they would think this would be even more un-democratic?
And the person with the most votes loses our elections more often than they win. Itâs not about slippery slopes or incremental degrees of democracy. Itâs about not giving a fascist a free path to control of the government. Biden might win but the likelihood that he gets worse and makes Trump inevitable is just too damn high. The party shouldnât just accept that in the name of norms
I donât think you can assess the impact individually
I.e. the primary system causes ridiculously long campaign seasons for candidates. This selects for funding and media impact and makes for worse candidates with greater influence by monies interest.
Parties being able to change tack to suit the needs of the party and the electorate based on reality can lead to better outcomes.
See. Forcing people to choose between a man in severe cognitive decline and a fascist.

Yeah. Thatâs fine. Iâm more just using your post as a jumpoff to criticise the primary system.
Good luck convincing voters that biden was fairly replaced. Good luck convincing them well enough that the candidate performs better in the election than biden would have
Is he more fascist now than he was in January 2021?
