if you think the Ds in Congress arent themselves part of the problem, then you are simply part of the problem. Besides which this country is so gerrymandered there are very few flippable seats out there. Both plans can proceed apace, they need not be in competition

most analysts seem to say the people who would take over are worse. I think the sorta unspoken hope is some sort of uprising that could take down the entire structure of kleptocrats/oligarchs

Remember when a lot of us were demanding the court be reformed under Biden?
And the Ds were all, 'but tradition, but precedent'
And we answered, 'you really think MAGA will respect any of that stuff'?
Gawdz almighty the Ds are great at being useless

is it a hate symbol in the same sense as the Union Jack perhaps, or symbols of the Spanish, French or Russian royal families? Are those hate symbols?

its been in more or less continuous use as a symbol of the royal family since 701AD, so hate symbol seems a stretch, though i can certainly see how victims of Japanese imperialism and war crimes would have a visceral reaction to it
I suppose i would need some argument based on contemporary use?

Starship Troopers the book was pretty fascist coded though. It was only ST the movie that inverted it as satire and warning, and that only lasted 1 movie

democrats largely do ignore economic issues. Racism is real. So is the Ds being a right wing corporate-captured party at the DNC level, 100%

'democratic mobilization,' as in the D party? Is that even a thing? I thought they half exist to keep people from mobilizing at all....
