Is China running some sort of charm offensive right now?

Technically still a guitarist

He wanted a war, so he got one.

It sounds like we’re planning on a major regional conflict unfolding. Hopefully the plans are merely precautionary.

The presidency isn’t the right place to dig your heels in to force a massive cultural shift. Those candidates are arising from the most average aggregate American opinions, it’s how they got there.

From the top down, a nudge is all we’re going to get. Even if you win all your policy positions, that will probably still be true.

If we’re successful at winning hearts and minds, better candidates will arise from us, that’s what representation is.

Local politics is so ripe for disruption when it comes to expertise and integrity, hell even the US house is like a kindergarten playground with bottom of the barrel officials.

Meanwhile we need to play some defense, especially in the court appointments. We need to focus on our communities, but at the same time not giving away an inch more than we’re forced to.

Even when you think you’re losing, there is still always one best possible thing that you can do. Maybe rolling over is it, if you believe D and R are the exact same thing, but I happen to think there’s a lot more at stake here in the long game.

I hear you. I feel that. But just remember to play the hand you actually have as best you can. Sometimes the situation sucks but it’s still up to us to make decisions.

I support your diversity of tactics, I just don’t think the American people are there with you yet… So keep on pushing us.

What kind of revolution? The kind that involves more soldiers and cops raping citizens here? Because as far as I know that’s the only type there is.

I am just so relieved that most people seem capable of understanding nuance.

By all means figure out if you can somehow give us a better candidate. But when it’s time for you to actually do something real, remember to play the hand you have.
