  • 'Blue no matter who' needed to mean it, and needed to mean the party actually pushing moderate dems into voting for candidates lefter than their own beliefs sometimes for it to work. My whole life ive been forced to vote almost exclusively for centrist candidates, and watched that definition, and the candidates I 'had' to vote for, slip further away from my ideals. Arguably 'blue no matter who needed to mean the party pushing overly liberal candidates on moderates more often than not, to combat the Republicans unwavering push of the Overton window ever right.

    But they haven't, and now here we are. Their 'moderate' candidates are now so far right, young lefties can't tell the difference between them and republicans. And a lot of us are giving up. I haven't voted for a politician who shared my ideals in 25 years. And now my choices are between a corporatist and a fascist. I'm no longer thinking about how I can push the window back, or hopefully for a candidate who will march my ideals next time. I didnt vote for KH, I voted against trump, in hopes I could buy myself an extea 4 years before the inevitable point I have to flee the country like my great grandparents fled theirs.

    Imo, The democratic party and its elites are at a crossroads. The republican party's buisness model of 'we can push whatever policy and view our corporate donors desire and our constituents will accept it' doesnt work for the DNC. The RNC has a monopoly on those voters. The DNC has to make a hard pivot if they want to survive. They can either start backing politicians like mamandi- who have constituent support, or they can give up and become a permanent minority party; a controlled opposition vote to a permanent right wing regime, with actual liberals unrepresented trying to form a 3rd party, or fleeing the fascist regime.

  • If he cant leave his house, he cant travel to DC to be sworn in. If he cant be sworn in, he cant become president.

    IIRC, the legal consensus is that while the 24th ammendment doesn't cover a a president elect, his VP would be sworn in as President.

  • I mean, if He's all powerfull, he could stop them from hurting, or even have made them miss.

    So not only did He want the pope shot, he wanted it to hurt.

    Which leads to the other way around:

    If an omnipotent God wants him shot again, then it will happen. No bullet proof vest or glass is going to stop God's will. So why bother?
