Bizarre that both would-be Trump assassins are perfect archetypes of the types of undecided voters that this whole election spectacle is presumably for: a neocon fopo crank and an apolitical dullard.

I wish I could look into the future only to see what becomes of the Republican party after Trump. Ramaswamy/Vance presidential ticket? High-stakes Jackson Hinkle Senate Race? Does it become a single-issue party around cryptocurrency?

The updoot offensive

The original generation of neocons had an understanding of material reality and sought to drive the USSR and China, two massive countries with socialist governments, apart. The ideological justifications of freedom or whatever were secondary. This new generation of interventionists genuinely believe the ideological stuff and is unwittingly trying to speedrun a eurasian super economy.

Exactly, the personal virtue (or lack thereof) of any US politician is completely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is how much the left can make them afraid of losing their jobs. This is why the discourse about the morality of voting is so tedious.

The threat of Trump liquidating the administrative state and democratic party, real or imagined, has pressured dems at the highest level to do the previously unthinkable; demonstrate basic political instincts.

There's a serious mario/wario element at work here with these names

Are we not all punished demsocs?

Every social Democrat victory in Latin America is like a vial of holy water down the throats of these vampires.

The 50% of the population that doesn't vote are in a quantum superposition of voting for Trump, voting for Harris, and voting third party, which is basically not voting at all, which is infinitely recursive back to the beginning of the statement.

Do people not get tired of posting the same memes about voting every election cycle? It's so performative and narcissistic. Discussing politicians in terms of their personal virtue and voting in terms of individual moral choices you're effectively talking about nothing.
