With that said, I think it’s a bad faith argument to lump all concern together as concern trolling. If enthusiasm had been weak, the shoe could have just as easily been on the other foot, with countless armchair politicians lamenting those ‘fascist agitators’ who convinced Biden to drop out, thereby handing Donnie Dipshit the presidency.

Hindsight is 20/20, I’m just glad we’re still in this.

I don’t think you are listening, people were saying this over and over again BEFORE Biden stepped down, we didn’t need hindsigjt, YOU did because you refused to listen.

I love that y’all admit you were wrong superficially but then insult people who have been making strong arguments for quite a long time that Biden should step down and not run again with statements like “well, who could have known!”.

We did, and people like you almost cost us the election. Do you understand how dangerous a role people like you played in shutting down criticism of Biden and attacking concerned Democrats like they were all Russia trollbots or something?

What did you learn that will lead you into NOT making the same potentially catastrophic miscalculation next time around?

…because you realize y’all look like clowns in the wake of Harris raising 200 million and 170,000 volunteers in a week right?

Like stop commenting on politics until you dismantle your world view and understanding of how US politics works please, you don’t understand very basic shit here. I don’t know what more proof you need than the last month or so of politics.

The cognizant google employees I worked with were actually VERY in support of unionizing, even more so than google employees themselves, it was a really interesting mix of people and they didn’t have their heads up their asses like normal techbro google employees who are used to everything working out and handwaving away systematic concerns.

Multiple attempts over the years had been made to unionize, but Google always crushed them with an iron fist.

I think the word you are looking for here usb”cowards”

I think it is rather that conservatism has nothing to do with being conservative really at the end of the day, that is just the team colors these people wear to identify what team they are on.

Conservatives are conservative so they can hate without guilt and so they can control and possess with violence and be rewarded for it. From this angle the synergy heinous shitheads see in being a Republican and being a pedophile is pretty straightforward in my opinion. Also probably the most pathetic thing on the face of the earth.

The FBI already investigate LEO across the country more than a decade ago and found that white supremacists were actively infiltrating our police force. Nothing has been done about this finding.

White supremacists are “infiltrating” into police forces in the same way I infiltrate into my buddies house… when they specifically invite me over to hang out with them at their house.

There is NO sense of infiltration here, rather we are looking at a fresh turd on a hot day (police), and there are flies all over it (white supremacists).

The way I see it is that pedos are the perfect thing for childlike immature republicans to focus on and unify around as the evil baddies they have to fight since an actual pedophile is one of the closest things to a Disney evil villain who is evil for no reason.

Republicans really can’t emotionally handle the problems in life being more nuanced and complex than a secret cabal of pedophiles that have to be righteously hunted down in witch-hunts. That is satisfying, that gets Republican’s to sit up and pay attention because they get to hate without feeling guilty about it.

I don’t really understand your point here. Are you claiming that a centrist supports some amount of genocide?

Yes

Hacker News might be the most insufferable and childishly naive place on the internet.
