Reminds me of China IL when Pony gets stuck in Mexico, crazy the voice actress went on to make the Barbie movie

We can’t have elections in the middle of a ballroom renovation!!

Oh, they know…

They want to trick people into dissolving the SC before the left gains control and can replace the problematic ones while taking steps to prevent this from happening again.

It’s like a kid that walks up and slaps a peer, then immediately says “no tag backs” and says the game is over…

The federalist society got what it wants out of the SC, and now they want people to stop abusing it before we can undo what they just did.

I don’t know why googling authors isn’t the norm when billionaires own all the media companies. If you don’t you’ll never notice clear hypocrites like Ryan Doerfler.

One author is in the federalist society (the reason SC is corrupt)…

And the other seems to believe international laws shouldn’t exist and Israel is totally cool…

They want us to “accept” it’s corrupt and somehow do away with the entire notion of a SC and replace it with some “populist rule”.

Similarly, progressives are increasingly converging on the idea of both expanding and “disempowering” federal courts. Attentive to the reality that the supreme court especially is not and rarely has been their friend, left-leaning advocates are finding ways to empower ordinary people, trading the hollow hope of judicial power for the promise of popular rule.

To label as “nihilists” those sketching an alternate, more democratic future is, in other words, not only mistaken but outright bizarre. Rather than adhere to the same institutionalist strategies that helped our current crisis, reformers must insist on remaking institutions like the US supreme court so that Americans don’t have to suffer future decades of oligarchy-facilitating rule that makes a parody of the democracy they were promised.

In Trump’s second term, the Republican-appointed majority on the supreme court has brought their institution to the brink of illegitimacy. Far from pulling it back from the edge, our goal has to be to push it off.

They’re right wingers trying to hijack progressivism to destroy the SC after it changes all the laws to how they want, and before the left can use it as a weapon to change the laws back.

I’d love to say people won’t be naive enough to fall for this, but I don’t want to lie

Mamdani gonna talk him into appointing Mero…

“Allegedly”

It’s not that they weren’t racist against Indians the whole time…

It’s that there was no push for it or format where it was discussed.

But with them taking so many college slots and H1-Bs, it’s only a matter of time till they get picked as a Boogeyman and/or scapegoat.

MAGA will play the “we tried to rise above and work together” followed almost immediately by “but there’s just no substitute for a white man”. Likely at that point full mask off and explict.

It’s plausible they try to take it back to only white landowners being allowed to vote, because that means they’ll keep winning.

This is the biggest hint that he’s on his way out.

He’s never have the balls to stand up for himself against a white supremacist if he thought he could keep his job.

It might be happening as soon as the new year.

That doesn’t make any sense.

Because if they were doing that, they’d have people who wanted to do it and wouldn’t require a bribe.

If they were bribing people, they’d demand payment be made after, and then just not pay them

Under no circumstance would they pay first and hope to not get ratfucked, because they fuck over everyone else at the drop of a hat.

This is the straw

Holy shit…

You still think it’s just a single straw…

What is so hard about this?

If the last million things weren’t enough for a group fo 100 people. Some of those 100 might just need “one more straw”. Some might need 5 or 6, everyone is different.

But there’s no way I can keep explaining this without coming off incredibly condescendingly. I’m gonna have to throw in the towel here, and in any future exchanges. I truly hope someone else helps you understand this, but I’ll never see if it happens.

just another 1 random vile post is enough for them to have some sort of epiphany and coming clean moment?

Yes…

How the fuck do you not understand that?

Would an idiom help?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_that_broke_the_camel's_back

Like, this a basic logical fallacy, it’s not just relevant here, it’s relative constantly. This is something that should have been taught to you as a child, but we can’t do anything about that now, just moving forward.

Like, if I offered you a dollar to do something unethical, and kept increasing the amount by a dollar till you agreed, the amount you agree to would be the total amount, not just one dollar because that was the most recent increase, the total is what matters.

Does this honestly not make sense to you?

Money only matters when the only two options play that game…

Musk could give Republicans a trillion dollars, it won’t stop an authentic progressive with charisma like Mamdani.

No amount of money can translate to votes like that.

Wild to me so many people have that view and just want to stop trying…

Do you even understand that’s the propaganda the oligarchs push the hardest?

That the lines of division they created can never be erased, and we always have to fight along the lines they drew.

And that’s not even getting how if we win in spite of your views being popular, were just siletting ourselves up to fall for it again because your hung up on them being unchangeable, and that almost always means we don’t put enough resources into the next generation to prevent them from falling for the same shit

A major reason shit is so fucked right now is when Obama won he just ignored the DNC for 8 years running his own campaigns and not helping out state parties with fundraising.

Which lead to a 2016 DNC funded and controlled by Hillary and trump becoming president.

The time for him to have done something was 17 fucking years ago

Because it’s not an archive link, it’s the same link…

Y’all 'muricans elected him.

You really should understand a system before criticizing it…

It even comes with a fucking pop up ad:

We want you to us AI!

Shits so fucking ridiculous

Fucking stupid to do this shit while trump is still in power…

Wait till their gone, then when you co trol the material, you can do an actual investigation.

Edit:

Pretty wild people think we should get the people who edited the Epstein files to audit the Epstein files to see if they’d been edited…

Because, and this should be obvious, if they find any evidence, they’ll destroy it

Wait till they’re out of power, and there’s the possibility of accountability, then look for the evidence.

If they look now, we’ll never find anything they find.

The only thing that could have stopped Mamdani, is trump endorsing Mamdani…

We’re going to keep seeing it play out, Trump’s endorsement when he’s not on the ballot has always been negligible at best, often detrimental.

trumpers don’t vote unless they can also vote for trump. And the reliable Republican voters don’t like maga candidates.

It’s why I hope red state redistricting goes thru, they’ll overshoot what’s plausible and end excavating the coming progressive wave.

Great post OP…

This post was rejected for the following reason(s):

This is an automated rejection. No LLM generated, heavily assisted/co-written, or otherwise reliant work. An LLM-detection service flagged your post as >50% likely to be written by an LLM. We’ve been having a wave of LLM written or co-written work that doesn’t meet our quality standards. LessWrong has fairly specific standards, and your first LessWrong post is sort of like the application to a college. It should be optimized for demonstrating that you can think clearly without AI assistance.

So, we reject all LLM generated posts from new users. We also reject work that falls into some categories that are difficult to evaluate that typically turn out to not make much sense, which LLMs frequently steer people toward.*

There’s a huge rabbit hole with HDMI certification…

Like, display port is better in everyway, but people make a shit ton of money off putting “HDMI certified” on products, so that’s still the default.
