On the head to head polling posted yesterday buried deeper in that same poll it showed that most respondents really did not know any of the dem replacements. A lot of Biden being ahead of everyone was plain name recognition. https://x.com/umichvoter/status/1807449998256419136

It’s literally name recognition. Harris and Biden are genuinely unpopular and prominent. I recently rattled off half a dozen names of potential replacements, governors and senators, to a bunch of lib friends and the literally only recognized newsom and they are John Stuart watchers and watched the debate meaning they are not completely disengaged.

Nothing said in this post is against a ceasefire.

The eu4 anbennar thing tries to address this by leaning in and exploring liberation of “monstrous” species as well as having a vast enough world where elves can be depicted as both primitive in some parts and classic eligheted trope elsewhere. There was also a crpg called arcanum that also had things like an underclass of orcs forming militant unions in a dnd but industrial revolution world. I remember this retrospective on it https://youtu.be/HMUugZ3DxH8?si=HeNGkI9Pi5vWVajg

X Edward Guo, a professor of biomedical engineering at Columbia University, said that part of the problem is that, unlike in the US, military research does sometimes take place on university campuses. “It’s not black and white … there are medical universities that also do military. But 99% of those professors are doing biomedical research and have nothing to do with the military.”.

Us University’s don’t do military research

Yes they do ???

I think its good that a news organization like the intercept actually puts it in print.

Even in the case of libya nato went well beyond the mandate of the security council resolution.

While mostly right, very funny it indulges mh17 hoax stuff. Why is it so hard to acknowledge arming poorly trained units with advanced anti air missiles can have blow back. Look at the plane that was mistakenly shot down in Iran couple years ago. Just weird hill to die on.

Historically election fraud is rampant in Russia, it’s just the main losers are the communist party not what ever fascist the West likes that month. Idk why everyone is acting like it isn’t a thing.

Like they do do a bad job and statisticians do point to huge irregularities it just doesn’t matter bc Putin is still popular.

I want the Dems to at the bare minimum not lay out the red carpet for even greater fascistic elements in the US, my friends, family, and most of the people I care about are here. I don’t think that is a bad thing to want or advocate for. I don’t think most of his audience are fans of the democrats. As for the squad I think its really telling how all of the left Indy media (hasan, chapo, war nerd ect.) had Ryan grim on to talk about his new book on the squad. The book did not paint many of the squad members in a good light. The most wrong take hasans on foreign policy is on xinjiang , but he tempers it by dunk on zenz and the most outrageous claims usually. He is in the right on Taiwan, Cuba, Iran, Palestine. My gut reaction is usually if someone gets called a Tankie by libs they are prob closer to right than wrong.

Then again when the competition in streaming is genocidaires like destiny or cia pedos like vaush he seems really reasonable.

I am gonna put myself in posting jail for knowing about streaming drama. Real 🤡 moment for me.

He spends a lot of time dunking on democracts. Go listen to when he was on the deprogram. It comes of like you don’t know anything about his positions tbh.

He basically says “anyone else”. He does do the “harris actually great” but shoots it down bc she is unliked, blames it on racism/sexism.

Last 3 episodes were really bad. The regular show is good when they find a slate of insane ameribrained op eds to ridicule for 45 min also bc of the size of the show they have on very good guests fairly regularly. The episode recently with Ryan grim where they discussed his new book about the squad(absolutely brutal portrayal of AOC) was very good. Their interview with beirut based journalist Séamus Malekafzali was also stand out. All the spin offs that are actual passion projects are also good like others mentioned in this thread.

I don’t think you can really read to far into the primary. It basically an uncontested reelection. The comparison point to look at is 2012 Obama.

It makes the link preview show up correctly on things like discord or slack. Vxtwitter also does this and puts a in the corner

Sorry for late reply the little bell at the top didn’t have a notification.

The federal government has gained almost complete control of the national guard over the centuries because they are masters of the purse. The most notable instance of the president federalizing troops to enforce a court order was in school integration. Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas national guard and mobilized the 101st airborne to enforce the integration of the little rock nine. He did so by executive order,

"SECTION 1. I hereby authorize and direct the Secretary of Defense to order into the active military service of the United States as he may deem appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Order, any or all of the units of the National Guard of the United States and of the Air National Guard of the United States within the State of Arkansas to serve in the active military service of the United States for an indefinite period and until relieved by appropriate orders. ".

The us government also used these powers to send national guard units to Iraq and Afghanistan iirc

As someone living in Texas I see so many people say this shit. Biden should have federalized the national guard yesterday and this fucking sucks.
