Yeah but they have nobody good enough to win. Sure they could have Biden do a lame duck primary, but nobody has the juice to take the baton. That's why Biden won in 2020 in the first place: none of the milquetoast candidates could stand up to Bernie's populism. If Kamala or Pete get crowned in some overtly undemocratic process they get creamed in the general. Biden had Obama clout. They got nothing.
I don't really remember how (or if at all) the Russian Revolution was covered in high school, but after reading October one thing is very much ignored in the Western popular narrative. Before October or even February, there were frequent large scale revolts, protests, demonstrations, and strikes. Even the decades before the 1905 Revolution, agrarian workers were constantly fighting back.
Going back to the October revolution, this was a constant theme in 1917. Not just during the July Days, but throughout the Provisional Government period the people were on the streets pushing for wealth redistribution and the end of the war. I've seen pop history try to paint October as a coup from the Bolsheviks, but they were being pushed to that position by the revolutionary fervour of the Russian people. Even among the left Bolsheviks, only Lenin and Trotsky and a handful of other party leaders really pushed to overthrow the PG. So many leaders either wanted to collaborate with the PG or otherwise let bourgeoisie class grow in power because they didn't think the workers could build a successful industrial state at their current level.
All the different factions make people think the Russian Revolution is this complex thing to learn and teach about, but if you focus on the Russian people it's a much simpler narrative.
"Getting Doug with High" is a name I haven't seen in many moons. I stopped watching a while ago, is the old stoner still going?
How were these guys jacking off to videogames twenty years ago when the graphics looked way less realistic?
This gives COD montage vibes in the editing. But in the best way.
There are other leadership qualities than doing big public speeches. Don't be Obama-brained.
By 2028 Swifties will have their own armed paramilitary wing.
Then I'm pretty sure you're already trans.
I have no idea what the name of that emoji is. Grenade and tank yield me nothing.
Dare to win.
