A reminder to Trump: Vietnam tainted Johnson's legacy, Iraq destroyed Bush's legacy. History doesn't smile kindly upon presidents who start large wars with no exit strategy.

@escapefrommelos This is a great example of how correlation gets mistaken for causation. If you squint this looks true, but if you look closer there's so many exceptions (North Africa and the Mid east being lower than Europe, central America being inverted) it falls apart.

@mickitiki America is both. Democracy describes where power ultimately comes from (the people), Republic describes the structure of the government.

Please educate yourself on the difference. America is a Constitutional Republic not a democracy.

@DerekPederson3 Mamdani was running against both a Republican and a centrist dem who lost the primary to him (so much for "vote blue no matter who" I guess)

@agraybee I mean, he kinda did at first, in a "let's deport all the jews to the most hostile environment possible" kinda way. Just, Palestine wasn't that place.

One of my least favorite discourses that pops up every single year: "This kid got a 99% SAT, and no Ivy Leagues!" followed by blaming wokeness or whatever they hate. Look. 2M kids take the SAT each year. By definition 20K will get top 1% scores. It's impossible for them all to get into the Ivy League, who admit around 15K per year. And that doesn't account for the fact that a bunch of Ivy admits are legacies, rich kids, or athletes, so the pool is actually smaller. And it doesn't account for the idea that the Ivies would legitimately rather have a kid with top 5% scores plus [other really cool thing] rather than the top 1% TestBotOptimizer. It is *not a story* that kids with strong numbers get rejected from elite universities, but every year it's portrayed as a shocking new trend caused by whatever the current culture war item is.

On this day in 1870 a man was born who would eventually hijack a spontaneous, anarchic, pluralistic revolution. He would deform and exploit it to his own narrow, authoritarian outlook. He quickly built a single party police state, destroying an opportunity for human emancipation.

Gerrymandering is undemocratic and evil. And it's essential the party that has repeatedly tried to ban it keeps doing it until the party that historically abused it gets curb stomped so badly they cry uncle and agree to the ban. These are not contradictory positions to hold.

@MattisRedacted We've taken the high road for too long. I'd rather break a few norms to keep democracy in general rather than go down with the ship smuggly saying "well at least I never stooped to their level"

@MattisRedacted Playing the long game. We give Republicans a taste of their own medicine and maybe they'll come crawling to the table to hammer out a bipartisan anti-gerrymandering bill on the federal level

I’m sorry but I simply don’t see how redistricting a purple state to be almost entirely blue is “democratic”. Half of Virginians vote Democrat, so half of their representatives should be Democrats.

Democrats: *Finally take the kid gloves off and do what Republicans have been doing for a decade.* Republicans: "Wait! That's not how this is supposed to go!?!"

A reason working class revolution likely won’t happen in the United States is because the damn workers hate each other more than they hate the corporations for stealing and exploiting.

@ZFlawles1s Eh. If left wing ideas are being paired with completely uncritical support for China, Iran, and Hamas most people are going to walk away.
