"It has had a strong Republican Party with great leaders for America" is right there in the text. Those are the words being said and the implications being made. Now you could make the argument we need a conservative party that has been totally stripped of it's segregationist origins.

The ideological lineage of modern American conservatism, segregationism, has really always hated democracy. They just haven't been able to be as brazen. Now they've realized that's nothing holding them back.

I do wonder what conservative intellectuals and leaders Pelosi had in mind? Is this a Schumer tulpa situation?

how often does the losing win by setting the pitch on fire?

Kronos @progressiveknife.bsky.social · 5h

well, if a fight is an orderly thing with rules, what the Nevada Dems did was the equivalent of showing up with a gun and trying to burn the venue down.

Kronos @progressiveknife.bsky.social · 5h

otoh the DSA tried this in Nevada and the state party literally tried to burn down their own infrastructure to stop them

you should do this and then make sure meetings are scheduled for working people hours instead of retiree hours. make them stay up late even.

You'd have to go equally hard on de-radicalizing Israelis.

At some point you have to contend with Israel and Russia behaving identically; whatever platonic ideal of a state you have in your mind is dead.

Also the insipid purity testing from the people who spend their time complaining about purity testing is going to go crazy.

Kronos @progressiveknife.bsky.social · 5h
