    There needs to be pain before change happens. The pain of capitalism needs to hit Americans hard before they wake up.

    Yes, many leftists are wasting their time and energy on quixotic solutions. Politics is a pragmatist's game, not a utopian's game.

    I know....

    I now believe that an AI automation crisis that's probably going to happen in the future might be the key to the kind of pain of capitalism that our country needs to truly wake up for good.

    Don't forget that evnetually all rich people die and then their fossils will end up in a muesum.

    The rich, especially the ultra rich, still keep winning and they had another really good year in 2025, while everyone else in the country suffered from terrible cost-of-living/unaffordability problem. 

    It's hard for me to see now how the rich and big corporations will be held accountable anytime soon.

    Those of us in the States need to start getting comfortable with uncivil disobedience really quickly.

    When execution squads are gunning people down in the streets, we're well past the point where we need to be civil with people who want us dead.

    ICE Agents and their supporters are human pieces of garbage, and should be treated accordingly. No sympathy or tolerance for Nazi collaborators - they need to be publicly named and shamed. ICE agents need to be recorded and exposed - no more unloading a clip into someone's skull and disappearing into the night.

    Nonviolence is not 'civil' or 'nice'. 

    We need a No Kings Protest throughout the entire country that is at least twice as large as the last one was.

    Actually, here's a good analysis from Pakman about why most Democratic voters in the country aren't appealed to someone like Bernie Sanders even though the policies of DSAs have really been social-democratic, aligning with Nordic models rather than advocating for abolishing capitalism like some other socialists:

    No your missing the fucking point. You continue to blame democrats while you refuse take responsibility for yourself & telling others don't vote for democrats their the same. Thats what I meant when I was referring to Mikie Sherrill when your basically saying thats not enough. Basically this is what I'm saying, voters like you need to take responsibility. There is no excuse for the voters on why they can't vote democrats if they want to stop Trump 

    At the 1:24 mark, that is you

    I never said to people to never vote Democrat. I always vote blue and tell other to always vote blue no matter what whether it's a moderate Democrat or progressive Democrat running for office. Democrats are always better than Republicans no matter what. 

    Not voting for a certain Democrat who doesn't seem "progressive enough" for your liking is a major recipe for a disaster. If it's a progressive Democrat like Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders vs. a Republican, then of course you should vote for that progressive Democrat. Even if it's a moderate Democrat like Joe Biden or Gavin Newsom vs. a Republican, then you should absolutely still vote for the moderate Democrat. Even if it's a conservative Democrat like Joe Manchin or Jared Golden vs. a Republican, then you should absolutely still vote for the conservative Democrat. 

    However, in this day and age, we desperately need Democrats in leadership who are younger, stronger, more bold, and more talented communicators than many of the ones we have now within Democratic leadership.

    **Hutch: This is on the voters

    Just admit your a blackpill leftist.

     

    "the Democratic establishment continues to put its thumb on the scale aggressively for other establishment candidates in many of the major upcoming elections this year, which I believe is a serious mistake." So your saying my soon to be governor Mikie Sherrill was a mistake & you would rather let Jack Ciatrelli (a Trump dick sucker) instead be governor just to show the democrats their wrong? This also applies to Abigal Spanburger in Virginia as well. 

    Oh no, don't get me wrong. I was happy that Sherrill won in a landslide. I was worried that she might lose because the polls showed that it was looking like a very tight race and she doesn't seem like a great communicator.

    I was very glad that Abigail Spanberger won her race in Virginia in a landslide too. However, she's another establishment type that's too afraid of playing to win instead of playing not to lose.

    Even the Bulwark, a center-right organization that wants Democrats to succeed have talked about how the Democratic Party still has too many leaders who are either too far to the left for most American voters or are moderate enough, but keep playing it too safe or are taking on the fight against Trump and MAGA in a way that comes off as too slick like Newsom.

    That’s because the plan is to just let republicans screw up enough so that people feel forced to vote for them and they don’t have to change at all.

    And to be honest it’s working, they’re actually doing slightly better in polls and everyone’s lining up behind Newsom. 

    Yeah, but that didn't work so great in 2020 when Dems barely beat Trump and his party then.

    They need to win in a landslide or close to it in 2028 if they want to defeat MAGA extremism for good. I believe that an FDR like message based on bold persistent experimentation in the way of liberalism/progressivism is the key to that.

    People want major change in the country.

    I appreciate Newsom's fight against Trump and MAGA, but what exactly does he stand for other than attacking them?

    Despite being in the minority, Democratic leaders continue to play not to lose instead of taking bold action or building a compelling vision for the future.

    Their communication strategies remain weak, clumsy, outdated, and unable to inspire or meaningfully challenge the status quo.

    Their style is overly cautious and focused on damage control rather than on championing bold new ideas or organizing strong, clear opposition.

    As a result, the Democratic Party’s current leadership is failing to rise to the challenges of the moment, both in terms of communication and policy strategy.

    Chuck Schumer is a prime example of an aging Democratic leader who should step aside and allow someone like Cory Booker to take over as leader of the Senate Democrats.

    At the same time, the Democratic establishment continues to put its thumb on the scale aggressively for other establishment candidates in many of the major upcoming elections this year, which I believe is a serious mistake. I used to be supportive of pro-establishment Democrats like Biden, but I have come to realize that establishment figures in today’s political environment have become an electoral liability. I hate to say it, but I now see them as a major reason we ended up with Joe Biden running for reelection against the wishes of most Democratic voters.

    We are living in a moment when public cynicism toward politicians is at historic highs and trust in institutions is at an all-time low. Beltway Democrats need to stop imposing their judgment on voters and stop intervening so aggressively against younger, outsider, and talented candidates. They must allow primary voters to choose their nominees going forward.

    What does that actually mean?

    Are you talking about individual self defense or some kind of resistance? Against trained forces with intelligence, logistics, drones, vehicles etc. How would this realistically play out without you ending up dead or imprisoned?

    I am not sure yet, but if we come together as one then we can all figure out how to do it through civil disobedience while bearing arms.

    I thought before that he was capable of becoming a true dictator, but it's now getting hard for me to see it.

    I just finished watching How to Become a Tyrant on Netflix. It has top experts on fascism and authoritarian leaders explain how a real tyrant gains such terrifying power in his country and the conditions needed for it to happen. Also, Peter Dinklage is the narrator of the series.

    I’m surprised everyone is buying the schizophrenia’ story.

    It actually isn’t common for people with schizophrenia to committ violence.

    I suspect he purposefully stopped taking his meds so he could use that as a legal defense after killing his parents.

    Dude, he has both a serious case of schizophrenia and major drug addiction. He is clearly very mentally unstable and has refused to take his antipsychotic medication for his mental instability. 

    This was very likely not some kind of premeditated murder. It was much more likely due to insanity and an extremely poor impulse in that moment.
