If Harris wins, the Democratic base will continue to sleep. You can do anything when the Dems are in the WH. It was under Trump that protesters shut down airport terminals, but under Biden the base sleeps regarding immigration & asylum. That’s what Glenn Greenwald and I learned from the GWB to Obama transition: the Dems sleep when their team is in office. Greenwald “changed” from hero to villain without changing the least bit; the only difference was who was in office. Unlike the Dem-aligned media, he didn’t go to sleep.

You can war as much as you want. You can run a fucking star chamber. You can stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody.

If Harris is the harm reduction candidate, who for?

I think we're in agreement that he's acting somewhat differently than before. I think my focus is more just on emphasizing that, not dissimilar to Hitler, he's a sort of front man for an existing trajectory. And this is something where liberals (not saying you think this way) can get caught up on this idea of him being the source or Musk being the source and losing sight of how thoroughly enabled and encouraged on a system level this trajectory has been.
