Nonsense. What the 2016 election clearly showed is that no elites are controlling the winners, since all the elites hated Trump and thought he would never win. Even Trump didn't think he would win! The elites have no idea who will win, which is why they bribe and lobby both sides, and they befriend whichever side holds power. Nobody is in control of the system because everyone is part of the system, including you.

It's quite silly to blame the US police system on Biden. This system is so huge it is outside of any one politician's control. The 90's was a different time. Everyone was into strong policing back then. You cannot retroactively project 2020 standards on 90's politics. Because he's much better than Trump. It's like you're saying, "This guy was friendly to the rapist, so it would be unacceptable to pick him. Instead, let's pick the rapist." If you are truly concerned about the raping of America, Biden is much better than Trump. Fascists will rape the country much worse than Neoliberals ever will, despite what progressives will have you believe. I would make the opposite point. The chances now are better than ever of a new Obama or Clinton -like, but progressive, leader to emerge. I think we'll see exactly that in the next 8 to 16 years. It will happen regardless of whether Trump wins or Biden wins. In both cases people are going to see that neither conservativism nor neoliberalism are working. And they will be eager for something new. Someone like Bernie but with a younger, more charismatic face, and a fighter. The function of Bernie was not to win the Presidency. The function of Bernie was to pave the way for a new, younger, charismatic progressive leader in the next 5 to 20 years. Again, you say this while Trump and Republicans are in power. It's an absurd double-standard. It is not the Democrat's job to convert deplorable, closedminded conservatives who will be voting for Trumpist-like candidates no matter what Dems do.

You might as well vote for Donald Duck. Co-opting the Dem party is the way to go. As AOC and the Justice Dems are doing. Trump too co-opted the Republican party. In both cases, the game consists of shifting the two mainstream parties either more left or more right. That's the whole game. Take responsibility for it. You can't be in politics while avoiding this game. By rejecting the game you automatically lose it. There is never going to be some magical "good" 3rd party which is above the fray. Such a party will never get mainstream appeal. The parties have to be dumbed down and play to the lowest common denominator so long as people are in Tier 1 stages of cognitive development. And a Tier 2 party will never win. At least in our lifetime. Maybe in 100 years this will start to change.

@Raphael But can it run Crysis in 4k?

Lots of Blue in the Conquistadors as well. Early stage Blue people love to go crusading to convert the heathens.

It's flawed if you take it literally as you must be 50/50. It's wise if you understand the larger point he's trying to make. Sadhguru is not saying something as stupid as: for every one day you wear a suit, the next day you must wear a skirt. Stop taking the words of spiritual teachers literally. There is always a deeper, higher meaning behind their words.

@RedLine Do not bring your Trump whitewashing bullshit to this forum. By this logic Hitler was just a strong masculine man. This is justifying fascism plain and simple. Go read about how fascism works and how it is justified by its fans.

Good work! But there's so much more to become conscious of, so keep chipping away at it.

@Lyubov Idaho is solid Red. Your map is screwy.

There is a decent chance Biden can win AZ. Which would create a bit of safe space. Biden can afford to lose PA as long as he wins AZ.

No, you are still creating duality by trying to negate appearances. Appearances are absolute. If you don't get that, you ain't really awake. That itch on your ass -- yup, it's absolute.

He's pretty toxic too. Dumb as a door knob.

In my experience most guys who I met who are into pickup are more developed than the average person. Because pickup is emotionally difficult, those who are moderately successful at it tend to take personal development seriously. There tends to be a big difference between guys who keyboard jockey about pickup online, and those who actually go out every night consistently.

Richard Spencer is not healthy Blue. He's basically a neo-Nazi.

@Toby You are not wrong, but you're also not right

How does the universe know that something is wrong? By who's standards? The universe cannot even know which way is up or down, never mind right or wrong.

I was talking about teens in high school.

Here's a pretty good analysis of how this might work. Although I highly doubt Biden can win Texas. That is not good assumption at all.

@coca Even if that's true, psychological addiction is still no small thing. I try to minimize my psychological addictions.

The only unbreakable thing is formlessness. Only a fool thinks he can out-design God.

A Picard-loop. An infinite echo-chamber of Picardry

So you're saying it's for me?

No, I think it's more than that. Weed addiction is very common.

But the ego's perspective can be expanded to God's perspective. That's what I'm trying to get you guys to start practicing: Conscious Politics -- politics as God would see it.

Again, it's not about the actual sex, but about learning the skills to be a strong, attractive man. Those skills actually do create lasting fulfillment. And the sex doesn't have to be low quality. You will find cool girls and they can become your girlfriend which can grow into deep amazing sex.
