You're definitely showcasing why it's necessary to remind people that the way they communicate is just as important as what they communicate.

Awesome! Maybe lead with that instead of scolding someone who is obviously desperate for answers. You're a solid communicator in a number of (pardon the pun) arenas. You also have a lot of power. People are looking to you (and others with similar public clout) to give them direction.

Adam, are you under the idea that "crimes" can only be committed by citizens? As has been pointed out, the simple matter of troops on American soil is, in itself, a crime of the highest degree.

It reads as incredibly tone deaf for someone with your reach and resources to wonder what others are doing without first explaining what YOU have done that they could assist with or emulate. It's the unspoken presumption of equal power in this equation that turns your argument to ash.

There is an extraordinary difference between patrolling the streets in a foreign land, and patrolling the streets against your own people. Especially once your own people fight back. Additionally, the US is unique in how baked-in to our culture is the idea that this kind of thing is Communist.

The military is already fractured and demoralized just from this initial occupation of DC and LA (and that was under the original pretense of assisting with deportations). A full-on assault on the citizenry will result in even more fracturing.

Well, that wouldn't be the case because the Mayor can fire those officers. If the Mayor refuses to fire those officers, the Governor would have grounds to fire the Mayor. It is not realistic to assume that a Governor would just sit by and let the police take over the state.

Both women clearly articulated who Trump was to the American public. They lost. Biden pussyfooted around the issue and won. I think that's a clear sign that the capitulation was inevitable because a lot of people wanted this and hated being told the truth.

I feel comfortable assuming that the 77 million Republican voters in 2024 includes a large amount of nerds as well. And that it was a larger amount of nerds who voted for fascism than turned out against fascism.

The people who influenced 77 million Republican voters are people like Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Ben Shapiro and a bunch of other white male podcasters. Those people are nerds. The majority of influential athletes were pro-Kamala in 2024. This is a nerd-driven fascist takeover.

Says the person who claims that good policy isn't relevant when it comes to Biden, but immediately contradicts himself by saying that there's an appetite for progressive policies. Now you're making an ad hominem attack because I pointed out the flaw in your argument.

Why do you assume Blue No Matter Who doesn't Apply to Mamdani? Especially if you're saying policy doesn't matter. He's big on social media, but he's still only been in NYC politics for five years. He's not well known and a lot of the voters won't take the time to review his policies.

Biden's signature piece of legislation was aimed directly at the working class and he was the most pro-union President in decades and he was repaid by the working class moving to the right. "Blue no matter who" is an argument that a majority of voters understand.

This exact sentiment dismisses the imminent threat of Trump and normalizes fascism. This is why "vote blue no matter who" exists. It's simple cause and effect and the people sharing your sentiment failed the test in 2016 and 2024.

Again, a statement devoid of evidence. Accepting as fact the statement that the Democratic Party offers nothing is to accept a lie as truth. It is a choice to purposefully believe propaganda.

I would genuinely like someone to show me evidence of when this strategy has actually been applied. 2016 and 2024 are direct evidence that people failed to do this and, consequently, fascism became normalized. In both cases, blue voters sat out or voted 3rd party.

Trump lost in 2020, and won in 2024 by doubling down on his worst impulses. Hillary lost in 2016, the Dems picked a centrist again and won in 2020. Romney lost in 2012 as a moderate and four years later Trump wins as a far right candidate, despite McCain losing primarily because of Palin.

90 million registered Democratic voters chose to sabotage their own country by not voting. Or, also possible, Elon and Trump aren't joking about rigging the 2024 election. Either way, it's disingenuous to say that the Democratic nominee actively lost the election.
