  • Don’t overextend yourself, concentrate on things that you actually can have impact on, and maybe even among them pick most important issue to you and act on it.

    ICE turning into gestapo is immediate issue that we can do something about.

    Greenland for example, what can we do about it? I personally think he is using Iceland as a distraction from Epstein (of course Denmark and rest of Europe should take this seriously).

    After he removed Maduro noticed that they threw names of several countries, Iceland produced highest outrage, so they went with it.

    I am actually thinking that the main goal is turning US into dictatorship, but to keep power they need an army inside of the country (gestapo). ICE is being used for that. But to keep them loyal he needs money. The problem is that traditionally Congress controls money and can cut it. This is where tariffs and Venezuela comes from. Notice that this revenue is outside if control of the Congress.

    Epstein might have been a distraction from this, but actually was hurting him. He was struggling to change narrative, and finally with Greenland everyone stopped talking about it.





  • The first pass the post mathematically produces a two party system (not voting won’t change it, support ranked choice voting).

    Republican party was essentially taken over by MAGA.

    Democrats are basically everyone else. They have different views and that’s why they are not as effective.

    Among Democrats there are so-called corporate democrats which normally would be Republicans, some of them might even be fine with trump.

    The solution here isn’t being apathetic and so voting because “both parties are the same”.

    The solution here is the opposite and being involved much more. Replacing those corporate Democrats with progressives in primaries and during general election voting for Democrats as every Republican that wins seat will be much worse than even those corporate democrats.

    We got here because public apathy, and taking democracy for granted. People still don’t understand how fragile democracy is and how easy it is to lose it despite trump and Republicans being in the middle of destroying it.
