I’ve been wondering something, specifically related to something I heard mentioned last night on a stream: their hypothesis was that real life ground game, door knocking or whatever, doesn’t matter any more, and the modern ‘ground game’ is social media and 1:1 conversations.
When ‘reasonable’ people delete/deleted twitter/facebook in droves, are we just ceding the ground game to the racists and the ones who can shout the most hate?
That was more snark along the lines of the OP than any serious research, though I expect there will be quite a few papers written on this election.
For what it’s worth, it’s likely when that book was researched that it was a minority phenomenon.
We have been down that road before. The state government will simply refuse to implement anything passed by ballot measure that they don’t like.
I expect the abortion measure to take effect since it deletes out an existing law, but i wouldn’t expect the minimum wage or paid sick leave to be worth the ink it was printed with.
I expect something like this to end up being the solution, but I think we’re far from a consensus in that regard.
Russia is their experiment about bringing down the property value to buy it all in one go instead of incrementally stealing.
Hard to say if it’s working yet or not.
I like how he looks older in this than he does on the most recent episode of Some More News where he had COVID.
Less tired though.
so on brand for anyone who meets the definition of ‘Ukranian for Trump’
Correct, but purchasing US arms means the US has some opinions on what you do with them, which you follow or you don’t get to buy more.
Normally. otoh we’re letting Israel do whatever the fuck they want so I don’t see why Poland should be any different.
This might just come down to the kids too. My eldest would likely be like yours and pick up the lesson ,but my youngest would 1000% emulate the bad behavior, dodge the lesson, and think it was funny that he got the same consequences as the kid on tv.
This is it for me. I don’t ever post on Twitte/Mastodon/Bluesky, it’s entirely read only for me, and the feeds I want to follow are finally starting to migrate to Bluesky. They never considered Mastadon.
To answer your unspoken question, yes, someone could have trademarked the yellow paint and stopped the madness right then and there.
‘Early and Often’
Is internet archive that big? i would imagine you could run it successfully with a dozen or so people tbh
This is fake news, he stole the research from Jane Menopause who goes uncredited to this day
Idk if it’s my hearing or what, but this sounds to me like a dogwhistle. Specifically, like they’re not saying that the second the election is over that the US is going to notice Israel is doing a warcrimes 100% run and they can either pump the breaks or the faucet turns off.
Like i said, might just be my hearing tho.
The point being, an excellent personal choice at the expense of the greater whole?
