Like if someone is willing to throw a vulnerable group under the bus to get elected, they obviously don't have strong principles (or perhaps any principles) so why would anyone believe that it's part of a long-term strategy for anything but self gain?

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

I mean, it may have been the most revealing moment ever when the Soylent people were like "No, we didn't name it after Soylent Green, we named it Soylent after a book about population control by Harry Harrison"

These people don't read!

I think that these "strategic centrist" types underestimate how many people won't vote for someone they see as lacking principles.

It's like with the Soylent people; they don't actually read, they just know it's a word from science fiction and they think that's cool.

Amazon Prime Day sales used to actually be something, but now it's more like that store that normally prices things 20% lower than suggested retail but right before a sale they mark everything up to suggested retail and then put a 20% off sign in front of it.

Oh, this sounds familiar.

If your industry is dependent on the labor of human beings without their consent

then your industry is dependent on human trafficking

and it should not exist.
