    On the timeline where Harambe wasn’t killed is the one where “policy matters”.

    And to be clear nobody is saying that policy won’t be crucial to her administration, rather it is meaningless at best (or detrimental at worst) to talk about it during the campaign.

    The fragile progressive/neoliberal big tent alliance needed to hold autocracy at bay need not get dragged into the weeds by bickering amongst themselves over hypothetical issues that won’t even matter unless they actually win first.

    Policy will matter as soon as MAGAs golden cow is sent to pasture. Mentally/physically/emotionally he won’t be viable as a candidate in 2028 (at which point Peter Thiel’s next Moldbug inspired ghoul will present themselves)

      MAGA’s golden cow needs to get sent to the slaughterhouse, not the pasture.

      It’s almost like this mindset is more of a stalling tactic than a strategy, because there will always be some new Threat to Democracy
