Mal Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Hold on to your hats. I feel like we're in for a rough ride. Depending on how things goes, I expect the next act on the 2020/George Floyd Uprising (which has their roots to earlier BLM protests and even Occupy). To be clear, ACAB, fuck them all.

Mal Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Years ago, I believe I said that I think the Democrat will try to absorb the moderate Republicans? Definitely feeling it tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 You have to go for the centre if you want to be in power. Your best bet if you want to change things is try to nudge the centre ever leftwards. On another note, the DNC was one of the most unserious things ever. Like everyone looks at the UK doing their whole Black Rod thing and be like "ah, how esoteric, such pantomime" and then the US just come out with like... a concert? Rappers announcing political candidates, very strange to an onlooker indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Yeah but the DNC is just a party convention, it's not an official government proceeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 Not saying that it is wrong or anything, just as an outsider, it's a weird thing to look at. Like we have Party Conferences/conventions in the UK, but they are very different affairs. They are built around: 1) Selling the leadership to the party members (which seems to tie in with the purpose of US conventions); and 2) Selling the government policies to the voters. (Which seemed absent from the convention, or was drowned out by the entertainment aspect in international news coverage). There is absolutely no entertainment element to them.
