People here and on my twitter feed are saying it's cringe but I can't tell without watching it myself whether that means "regular centrist normie politics cringe that cool people hate but the facebook normie dems like" or "they seriously fucked up due to not knowing what they're doing with this new format"

and I don't feel like watching it myself so I may never know.

It's the first kind of cringe.

How do they decide which party goes first?  Do they alternate every cycle?  Does the incumbent party always go second?

This is all going to be pretty lame and miss the economic issues tearing society apart, but it might seem better if it came after the teleconference from Mordor.

What's the point of a code name if you are going to tweet about it? Any of my PM bros leak 'Cadillac' to twitter and you're dead to me.

it seems to me at least there was more of a widespread "unity/game time" sentiment even among most Bernie supporters this time in 2016, though? like I feel like there were more people trying to make themselves at least temporarily enthusiastic about HRC, but the median sentiment now is more like, "ok, fine, whatever, I'll vote for him, thanks, goodbye."

Biden's lack of a stan following is a small silver lining during this election cycle.

The St. Louis couple who became famous after wielding guns at protesters on their private street will be part of the largely digital Republican National Convention next week, Trump advisers said this week.

The couple — Patricia and Mark McCloskey — will appear on behalf of the president during the virtual weeklong event and express their support for him, the officials said.

Since you guys are busy with the dumbocrats, I thought Id drop in tails from the future. Ignore my post, but remember it.

---

On the night of Sunday November 1, 2020, Trump appeared on television and announced that he was "temporarily dissolving" the Congress of the Republic and "reorganizing" the Judicial Branch of the government. He then ordered the US Army to drive a tank to the steps of Congress to shut it down. When a group of senators attempted to hold session, tear gas was deployed against them.

That same night, the military was sent to detain prominent members of the political opposition. Trump is currently on trial for the kidnapping of journalist Anderson Cooper and businessman Meg Whitman, both of whom were detained by the military on the night of the coup.

One of the most criticized moves that Trump took was the attempt to arrest former president Barack Obama, in order to have him face numerous trials.

Trump issued Executive Order 25418, which dissolved the Congress, gave the Executive Branch all legislative powers, suspended much of the Constitution, and gave the president the power to enact various reforms, such as the "application of drastic punishments" towards terrorists. Trump called for elections of a new congress that was later named the Republican Constitutional Congress ); Trump received a majority in this new congress, which later drafted the 2021 Constitution. Trump also set about curtailing the independence of the judiciary and constitutional rights with a declaration of a state of emergency and curfews, as well as enacting controversial "severe emergency laws" to deal with terrorism.

There was little initial domestic resistance to the auto-coup. An opinion poll carried out shortly thereafter indicated that Trumps's decision to dissolve Congress and restructure the judicial system had an 52% approval rating. The economic and political situation was so poor at the time that for many Americans things could get only better. At the time, Trumps's bold and risky economic reforms (the "DonPlan") appeared to be working.

Trump himself claimed that the auto-coup was necessary to break with the deeply entrenched interests that were hindering him from rescuing America from the chaotic state in which former president Barack Obama had left it, but critics say that he could never have implemented his drastic liberal economic reform under a democratic government. Another group of military officers led by ADM Karl L. Schultz attempted to overthrow Trump on November 13.

Bernie Sanders Sets Aside Firebrand Role for Rare Turn as Party Unifier

Quote
Sanders acknowledged that he and Biden have differences on policy but said the Democratic nominee would still make progress on Sanders’s goals, from universal health care to raising the minimum wage.

Biden’s team worked with Sanders’s to form a half-dozen policy task forces that helped guide the convention platform process, though the ultimate result looks much more like Biden’s agenda than Sanders’s. There’s no embrace of Medicare for All or endorsement of the Green New Deal.

And though Harris was not the most progressive woman under consideration to be Biden’s running mate, she was Sanders’s preferred choice, a person familiar with his thinking said. He, like Biden, saw the California senator as the best boost for the ticket’s chances against Trump.

I don't get who at the DNC thought it would be a good idea that to counter Trump the best strategy was to throw more politicians at him to devour with 5 second soundbites.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday that the state had to “sober up” about the fact that renewable energy sources had failed to provide enough power for the state at peak demand, and needed “backup” and “insurance” from other sources.


Holy shit, who could've predicted this would happen? It's almost like we need a blend of energy sources to power the country.

He's clearly talking about energy storage and not energy production. but you do you boo.

But I am confident in our capacity to deal with that. And the reason I maintain that confidence is the work that we’ve been doing in the last year, particularly the work we have been doing with our largest public utilities in this country, the largest in the United States, PG&E but the other utilities to really map a future of reliability that looks very differently than today. And so we’ve been advancing goals. We’re now in the transition of that. And now we have to I think sober up to the reality that in this transition, we’re going to have to do more and be much more mindful in terms of our capacity to provide backup and insurance.

Why'd they kill my dawg?
Damn, man, I miss my Uncle Charles, y'all
And he shouldn't be gone
In front of his home, what they did to Boo was wrong
Oh so wrong, was so wrong :stahp
