  • They will go to unimaginable lengths to learn the wrong lessons, don’t get me wrong. And they’re doing their very best

    They’re testing literally everything except being more progressive… Everything from working with MAGA and bringing out Obama

    But none of their bizarre mixing and matching of everything imaginable, including testing fucking Hunter Biden for a presidential run, have paid off at all

    I just think it’s finally obvious, and urgent, enough that the leadership is going to turn over. At the end of the day, the leadership might be willing to go down with the ship over this, but the rank and file won’t


  • Did you see the part where the defacto leader of the party didn’t show up to his own press conference, so the reporters asked Bernie (who was just watching from the back) if he’d answer questions?

    The Democratic establishment fought Mamdani (and progressives generally) along with Trump and the oligarchs and lost massively. Both parties are in chaos right now, because it’s obvious that money is no longer enough to win elections, even safe ones

    They’re all going to be quiet for a while before the other shoe drops, hopefully the infighting will make it easier for progressives to rise to prominence















  • Oh, no no no… It’s so much worse than even that

    See, farming massive fields is pretty easy with technology, and with petrochemical fertilizer you can grow in depleted soil. So is keeping livestock, more so if you keep them in cruel conditions

    So there’s a problem there… And I don’t mean the environmental issues. It’s too cheap. Farmers would have to sell at a loss

    We produce so much food that the farms would all go out of business without intervention.

    But the government can’t set quotas or control access to the market… That’s socialism or something

    Instead, the government pays farmers to burn portion of their crop, we put ethanol in gasoline (even though it’s a bad idea), the government siezes some of the crop to stockpile and maybe sell (and give you whatever cut they like), we used to ship tons of food overseas through USAID, and so much more

    Industrial farming does not play nice with capitalism.
