Yes actually. Our bombs, our guns, our fucking jets. If you do everything you can to facilitate another country’s genocide and the genocide would be impossible without your help, you are absolutely an accomplice to genocide. He’s a hitler.

Gotta be honest, that infographic is kinda uninformative wrt the actual rate of increase. You made me read! 💢

  • 1 in 10 in the 1990s said violent action against the government can be justified

  • Serious threats against federal judges that trigger an investigation rose from 179 in 2019 to 457 in 2023

  • Threats against members of Congress are up nearly tenfold since 2015

I think you keep calling this a conspiracy to discredit normal party politics and I think I’m tired of telling you it’s not a conspiracy. The simple explanation is the Party doesn’t want incumbent challenges and so it does what it can to prevent them, so it doesn’t do debates and doesn’t help candidates get their name out and openly supports the incumbent.

Look, whether you think political parties do anything or not doesn’t matter anyway. We’re about to see if Biden is going to be forced out of the race, and maybe if he is you’ll see that party pressure exists and that it doesn’t all come down to individual free agents acting of the own will without outside pressure changing their decisions.

And if he’s forced out I’m sure you’ll handwave it as just being a personal choice between him and his family, and the Party had little to do with it. 🙄

With the sheer number of agencies present, Milwaukee decided against holding other police departments to certain city policies, including those requiring body-worn cameras, a critical transparency measure aimed at providing the public with an unbiased record of incidents of misconduct.

This seems like a really obvious oversight - so if cops come in from out-of-state they don’t have to follow policy?

Was Ted Kennedy punished in any way for that, or did he continue on with a long and illustrious career?

That was before they knew they’d need to keep primary challengers from threatening incumbents.

Though he did have a long dead-end career where his presidential ambitions were totally destroyed.

You can blame his “memory of defeat” for that, but what about the Party’s memory of defeat? They saw the worst defeat in history and you don’t think they associate that, in part, with a primary that dinged their incumbent? Primarying the incumbent is terrifying to the Party and they will always do whatever they can to discourage and prevent it. The Party learned from history.

And if Biden stays on the ticket we might see a fucking repeat with Trump this time, and that would be a nightmare.
