That Kamala interview was heart breaking because it's one of the few times that I've ever seen a national political figure say the system is broken and that trying to work within it to change things probably wont work.

Yes, that was the most intense moment of the interview, and perhaps it was’nt perceived as such so much. What I also felt was that even now she still has this charming but convoluted expression style. That did her no good. Compare with Zohran or Kat.

True. She always said change would come from the voters. If they didn’t choose laws & democracy on the ballot, they would lose them. Once lost, no mechanism from a corrupted Congress , Senate & SCOTUS majority -GOP system would allow them back.

It means the people need to be protagonists in reimagining society. It does not mean war. It just means we have to do the work. That starts with us letting go of incumbents in office and the way run elections, and the systems that do not function as we need. Build better ones, don't seek reform.

Committing violence against those seeking justice will happen, but discipline and a non-violent approach are neccessary. Anything else causes more harm to the marginalized. Do not expect or acquiesce to the idea of a war.

The problem is that it isn’t just fascism, it’s oligarchy. And destroying oligarchy requires destroying tremendous wealth, which usually means a lot of people get wiped out. If plague, war or state collapse doesn’t cause that, climate change probably will. It’s all grim.

Or she recognizes that as much as she, or others, might want her back in politics to fix things, her presence would attract the kind of attention and actions which instead slows down or harms any rebuilding process. Knowing when to stay out of a situation is huge emotional intelligence.

Them and everyone brave enough to do the work, including putting their name on a ballot. Putting it on one or two people creates a fragile cult of personality. Resilient structures are more like an iceberg: candidates/leaders are small visible part above water and rely on massive foundation below.

Difficult road ahead if true, so quite a lot riding on the "probably" in that sentence. I suppose one may want pretty solid evidence our political system is irredeemably broken and incapable of being fixed by voters choosing appropriate candidates and working from the inside before agreeing that.

I don't think we're there yet because all the evidence I've seen suggests a great number of conservative voters like the system as it is, want a huge role for economic power, want government focused on the needs of the establishment elite, and want democracy weak, small, or preferably non-existent.
aug 1, 2025, 5:02 pm • 7 2 • view
I'll agree the system is irredeemably broken when I see evidence majority of voters reject conservative, right wing, Republican anti-democracy ideology, market utopianism, bad economics in the conservative style, theocratism, bad religion, racism, and so on, but our government doesn't reflect that.

How do you not see what's happening now as not evidential? Not being contentious; my evaluation is subjective. Are we only taking how people vote as evidence?

Voting, yes. Because people can say all manner of nonsense when it doesn't really matter. They may lie their butts off when they post online, take a poll, talk. But when it comes to vote for alternative A or B, and they choose A, then yes, I take that as solid evidence they prefer A to B.

Out of 244 million people eligible to vote in 2024, nearly 90 million didn't bother. That's a 37% apathy rate. That should be all the evidence you need.

Yes, I accept non-voting, as I said, but it may show complacency, or apathy, or indifference, or laziness, or support for the status quo, or who knows what else. It’s not a signal in a positive sense, for something; merely in a negative sense.

To me respecting the vote is part of the democratic ethos. Ignoring the vote, and substituting what you suppose people really support, or accepting as evidence consequence-free comments they might have made in some poll or whatever, is not really supporting democracy.
aug 1, 2025, 5:24 pm • 5 2 • view
We're in a situation right now where many right wingers suppose democracy doesn't work because "everyone" is right wing but politicians ignore them, and a certain sort of leftist who supposes democracy doesn't work because "everyone" is left wing but politicians ignore them. I think voting matters.

Got it. I'll curb my paranoia about election interference: propaganda on social media/in the media prior to the elections, the machines, or not processing mail-in ballots. But gerrymandering and voter suppression laws are also problematic.

Some questions. 1) Significantly different from other elections where you liked the results a bit better? 2) These shenanigans are legal or illegal? 3) If the shenanigans are legal, then they're being made by people the voters installed, so evidence voters reject them?

I think we have to watch for pulling this "our democracy is not perfect" argument out of the hat whenever we don't like the results of an election. Of course, it's not perfect. Never was. Likely never will be. Few things in this world are. But is it at the point we don't give it significance at all?

Because if we're saying it's gotten so bad we should just ignore it, then we're in a world of contempt for the law, for government, we should tell people do whatever they like, criminality, anarchy, that sort. I get there are utopian anarchists who anticipate a party, but I'd be a bit concerned.
