Pun intended, I hope 😁

I’m 46 was born in 98, also in 88, and 78 as well.

Born again Christian who wasn’t quite done sinning after the first reset? 😛

People have a right to exist and to self-determination, not nations. “Israel has a right to exist” is just a strawman argument.

Especially since the Israeli people already have self-determination and overwhelmingly support their government committing countless crimes against humanity to ensure that Palestinians never will.

Yeah, it’s the brilliant song A Mistake by Fiona Apple lol

The opening line is “I’m gonna make a mistake, gonna do it on purpose” 😁

Executed by who? The IDF?

15 cm or so, if memory serves. They haven’t been available here for over a decade 😔

Yeah, because the US “justice” system famously never treats juvenile defendants as adults in order to mete out draconian punishment that eliminates all chances for rehabilitation…

So basically, killing Luigi would not make copycats less likely, but it WOULD make it more likely for copycats to shoot CEOs AND cops?

Hmm… The killing of Luigi itself would be awful, of course, but the consequences of it sound like a win to me 🤔

Reminds me of one of my favorite passages from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Arthur Dent: “what’s causing all this?”

Ford Prefect: “eddies in the spacetime continuum”

Arthur Dent: “is he now?”

I don’t usually have any problems, but going from browsing in black mode in a dark room at 11 pm to getting a screenful of white was quite jarring…

No thanks, I already ate

Argh! Light mode!

shrewd political operator

Could mean he knows how to get things done. Could mean that he has little to no ideological consistency. Usually a mixture of both but mostly the latter.

incremental progress

Usually 1 step forward when already 5 behind the rest of the world. Incrementalists are usually willing to trade 3 steps back to fascists negotiating in bad faith in the name of holy bipartisanship.

a progressive who is not willing to let perfect get in the way of good.

You mean a Neoliberal incrementalist trying to pretend to be a progressive while continuing to work for billionaires and their corporations against the working class?

I bet you were!

Sounds like you’re describing a carbon copy of Jeffries. There’s already way too many of those kind of politicians in Dem leadership. That’s why they lost every part of government to fascists.

Speaker House Minority Leader Jeffries

Is the last person to talk about billionaires and other things that shouldn’t exist:

Ben Wikler, Wisconsin Dem Party Chair who’s a front runner for DNC chair

Another hypocrite pretending to be against oligarchy while being backed by oligarchs

Ken Martin, Minnesota DFL Chair, also a front runner for DNC chair

This guy looks promising, but there’s little to no donor information readily available on him, so grounds for cautious optimism at best.

James Skoufis, NY 42nd District State Senator

Again little to no public donor disclosure, which is very ominous for a state Senator from NY of all states…

TL;DR: Dem leadership consists mainly of hypocrites who are as beholden to billionaires as their (much worse in almost all other aspects) fascist colleagues.
