I have been saying this for years to deaf ears. It's not really that Democrats are weak, it's that they play by more difficult different rules in coalition building, partisan advantage, the courts and the media ecosystem. That has never been clearer than over the past month.

On one hand it may actually finally convince a lot of people in the left that, yes the rules are different for Republicans and no the problem isn’t that Dems are weak or whatever, but that they actually have to be strategic and calculating in an unfair environment and there isn’t much you can do about it.

In 2018, North Carolina held an election using congressional maps that had already been ruled unconstitutional. The winners were seated anyway. In 2022, Ohio did the same thing. Georgia and Alabama moved forward with racist maps in 2022 that violated the Voting Rights Act. The winners of those elections were seated anyway. When it’s Republicans disenfranchising Black voters and Democrats, illegal maps are suddenly good enough to keep in place during the election. None of those states even put their maps up for approval by the public like Virginia did. Virginia should proceed with their election under the map their voters just enacted. Anything less would establish an unfair precedent.

Leona Tate is testifying against racist congressional maps right now. "I walked through that mob once, I feel like I'm still walking through it. Please do not make me have to keep walking against you." #lagov #lalege #louisiana #fairmaps #redistricting

Unusually hot in the Louisiana Capitol today (AC is usually blowing pretty hard), and the cafeteria is shut down (overheard someone saying that they were told by staff “we don’t want to feed all these people”).
Lots of folks showing up to speak out for fair maps, regardless

6 Republican states brutally gerrymander without a vote. 100% legal.
1 Democratic state fights back with the consent of the people. Illegal.
Democrats are always held to an infinitely higher standard than Republicans.

She went and found the president of the heritage foundation’s thesis and guess what conclusions he came to about the Black community…..

When I say the country is institutionally rigged for Republicans I’m talking about how Virginia gets their maps struck down after a two year process involving multiple legislative sessions and a statewide referendum but Tennessee can just decide not to enfranchise Memphis anymore

Will New Orleans soon have to relocate?
Scientists warn sea level rise and eroding wetlands may leave the city "surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico before the end of this century."
"Even if you stopped climate change today, New Orleans's days are still numbered," said Jesse Keenan, one of the coauthors from Tulane University. yhoo.it/42izc3M

This is actually explained in Dark Lord: Rise of Darth Vader, which picks up directly after the events of Revenge of the Sith.
Short answer, Palpatine always intended to do away with Vader once he unlocked the secret of immortality, and intentionally rebuilt Anakin with inferior bionics (and gave him a chest console he could easily short out with lightning if need be) to give him an edge when the time inevitably came.
Anakin, no longer able to rely on dexterity and finesse to win duels, has to resort to bludgeoning his opponents into submission with his inhumanly strong droid body.
Interesting, Anakin initially laments the crudity he is reduced to, but later finds his new fighting style a fitting conduit for his rage.

Something I like about how Darth Vaders fighting style is depicted in extra material is it has the same simplicity and brutality of the unrefined early lightsaber fights from the original trilogy. He's just so overwhelmingly powerful and unstoppable he has no need for fanciness

Maul in Shadow Lord so far:
Handicapped, living what could be considered a second midlife crisis through a teenager.

Remember how long it took Southern states to comply with SCOTUS order in Brown v. Board to provide equal rights to Black people? Literally decades.
Now that SCOTUS has approved the elimination of rights of Black people, these same Southern states are acting with lightning speed.

"It was reasonable for liberals to think they won those arguments once and for all, but conservatives never admitted defeat....[o]ne lesson to take from this abysmal moment is that no victory is permanent and...that the horrors now being unleashed on the country can be undone."
