Warren, corrupt of Democratic Party, climate change apocalypse

jerrycurl
youth turnout for sanders was actually pretty good until covid lockdowns sent a lot of kids home from campus

it isn't common knowledge, even among poll workers, that you're supposed to be allowed to vote in the place you just moved to
jerrycurl
apparently there is some procedure to expedite registration
jerrycurl
even if that were known, it's a huge hassle
lluna has left IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
jerrycurl
meanwhile, old people were urged to stand in line, that the virus was handled
jerrycurl
older people also vote early or by mail in greater proportions
11:47 jerrycurl
remember how the satellite caucuses that sanders organized were the last to be reported in iowa?
jerrycurl
the counts were known long before
jerrycurl
if your bar for "rigging" is a smoking gun at the scene of a blatantly illegal act, then that's not a really fair argument

way back in south carolina, when candidates stronger than warren were already exiting, one of her people flat out said to a reporter that they were there to blunt the momentum of bernie sanders
lockie has changed mode: +v segue
jerrycurl
and warren clearly lied about what sanders told her
jerrycurl
and after that she reneged on one of her cardinal promises, to not accept super pac money
jerrycurl
just to stay in the race till super tuesday
jerrycurl
it couldn't be clearer what was going on
infspire
Elizabeth Warren is an incredible snake.
jerrycurl
i try to not think about the list of crap
jerrycurl
in the end i guess autists as pure as sanders are rare and you just have to go with whatever the corrupt system hands you
jerrycurl
sanders has the form of autism that causes an affinity for listing percentages
jerrycurl
it's also what provides him his power
jerrycurl
others collect ponies
jerrycurl
the autists i've met didn't seem to have gained an advantage from it
jerrycurl
i think of it as adjacent to retardation
jerrycurl
"only had fake supporters" is a straw man
jerrycurl
campaigns are funded by interests, from which "real" supporters are created
jerrycurl
someone was interviewed in iowa who said that a buttchug advocate told her sanders was against medicare for all, so that's why she didn't like him
jerrycurl
i had the high functioning aspergers co-worker of mine join to chat here once
jerrycurl
and he seemed to fit right in
jerrycurl
while in real life he can barely say what's on his mind, unless it's to repeat a relevant quote from a movie
jerrycurl
his nick was nineve

here we see sanders with 3x more donors than biden, who is somehow the nominee

another thing the democratic party has a hard time coming to grips with is that the fanatics who actually vote in primaries don't have a great handle on what wins general elections
jerrycurl
sanders appeals to a lot of non-democrats
jerrycurl
he was soundly beating biden in all swing state polls
jerrycurl
what was the reason he won?
lockie has kicked segue (Oversharing. This has been shared > 5 times.)
jerrycurl
youth actually went out an knocked on doors for sanders

you can barely find anyone who knocked on doors for biden

jerrycurl: The Democratic Party is extremely corrupt.
jerrycurl
cnn and msnbc did the heavy lifting
infspire
Their only goal isn't to win elections. They want to win elections while maintaining ownership of their political party.
lockie has changed mode: +v segue
infspire
So, they recurringly risk and lose elections, because if they lose control of their party, it's all over.
infspire
(The GOP is at least 100x times worse than the Democratic Party.)
jerrycurl
it's also easy to forget the whole spectacle of bloomberg
12:09 jerrycurl
it's like a distant memory
jerrycurl
how did bloomberg get into the debates, again?
jerrycurl
there was almost no attempt to hide how much money calls the shots inside the democratic party
infspire
Indeed.
jerrycurl
granted, despite all of this, i hate the republican party worse, and it seems like a dire emergency to reject trump's politics, even if we go to this point with the help of clinton's "pied piper strategy"
infspire
About a 1/3 of the Democratic Party couldn't stop gushing over the anti-democratic qualities of Bloomberg and his billions.
jerrycurl
i disagree that accelerationism and guillotines are actually going to help anything
infspire
jerrycurl: It's pretty clear America is at the guillotine stage.
jerrycurl
it's probably better to get back to milquetoast liberalism and reset to square one, but with internet fundraising in the picture
infspire
There is an ongoing climate change catastrophe, and very few of our leaders give a shit.
infspire
They're actively murdering large amounts of people.
jerrycurl
true
infspire
Killing them is a defense act to save many human lives in America, victims overseas, the future of humanity, and untold animal life.
jerrycurl
maybe maine's runoff voting for the presidency will also spread
infspire
By allowing this class of people to lead, we're genociding almost every non-human species on Earth.
jerrycurl
to hedge my bets i'm building an oxygen concentrator for my home, plus moats
infspire
2/3 of animal life has been lost in the last 50 years.
infspire
We're killing everything that is not human.
infspire
And in human society, we're destroying everything that doesn't have 100 million or above.
infspire
And the resultant society won't be stable, so it will collapse spectacularly for all those people, too.
jerrycurl
typhon: i think you might be right by this point

infspire
Almost nobody understands the level of catastrophe we're end.
jerrycurl
but before covid made this seem like the apocalypse, there were also a lot of people on the left who he needed to pull
jerrycurl
now i guess most of those people are going to hand their vote to biden with or without real lip service to medicare for all
infspire
A huge portion of the human project is disgusting.
infspire
We think ourselves ethical by fretting over guillotining leaders who are genociding 2/3 of animal life on Earth in 50 years.
infspire
It is the opposite of ethical.
infspire
It is an extremely narrow conception of value that will lead to self-annihilation.
infspire
It's pure mental illness.
jerrycurl
imagine what it was like to live when starting a government program like "medicare" or "medicaid" wouldn't instantly get you branded as communist
jerrycurl
imagine trying to get "social security" started today
infspire
Global society, since 1950, is a depraved heroin den of junkies -- the political and economic leaders -- injecting toxic oil into their blood for decades as their entire world burns to the ground.
infspire
That's your...progress.
infspire
Yes, almost all the leaders and almost all the art created since 1950 has as its primary purpose to get you to be morally complicit with a den of heroin junkies burning everybody's children to death for their next high.
infspire
Remember in The Graduate when the guy says, "I have just one word for you -- plastics."

infspire
When you got excited about that line, that was you say, "Yes, sir, mister heroin junkie, please burn to death 100 million humans for your next high."
infspire
And that is a celebrated piece of our culture.
infspire
Because the entire system is rotten to its core.
lockie has changed mode: +v fuantum
infspire
Every film about glorious, technological futures with flying cars and tall buildings and fancy computers.
infspire
All propaganda.
infspire
It was all just the delusions of heroin junkies telling you what you'll get if you let them keep being heroin junkies burning the world to the ground.
infspire
And we all were like, "Wow, your delusional stories sound really impressive. I would like to live in that world. Here you go -- I promise to not use a guillotine on you because that would be really unethical of me."
infspire
Global human civilization is set to collapse in like...three decades.
infspire
That's when Bill Clinton was president.
infspire
Almost nobody gets it.
infspire
Almost everybody you know is delusional.
infspire
Essentially, everybody in this channel has committable levels of mental health disorders.
infspire
Somebody like Greta Thunberg pretty much gets. She understands the apocalypse that is on us.
infspire
And how is this brilliant, moral child treated?
infspire
Rape threats, discussions of her facial structure, conspiracy theories about her parents, anger, and calls to murder her.
infspire
Our species is lost -- we don't have the mental resources to solve this problem we've created.
infspire
About 80% of the people in this channel FUCKING HATE GRETA THUNBERG.
infspire
She is literally trying to get the down to save all the burning kids and animals in the pasture, and all the town can do is muse about raping and murdering her.
infspire
Huge portions of our global society, financial concentrations, media resources, see her as Enemy.
infspire
Some kid trying to right the world after it was driven off the cliff by her ancestors.
infspire
Which is the quintessential hero story in human literature across cultures.
infspire
"I didn't create this problem, but I will take on this burden and try to improve the world."
infspire
This is grand narrative present in all the savior religions, like Islam and Christianity.
infspire
She's that one in a million human, for your Django Unchained fans.
