Those aren’t mutually incompatible. I don’t think people should kill him, but the lackluster way the justice department has dealt with him like “oh ho him we have other things going on, we can get to the trial after the election” is a criminal dereliction of duty.

Yes, he should be in prison for being a proven-criminal tyrant. Instead we’re taking Lex Luthor on tours of the city and talking about hey he shouldn’t have killed all those people with that stunt last month, and also should we make him mayor, or this other guy, here’s a report on the pros and cons.

You musta missed the first paragraph

And, tbh, the rest of it too

But sure, go on, tell me how Clinton was a champion of progressivism and the party’s been betraying his legacy by moving to the right. Make it lyrical; make it convincing

It’s honestly easy to forgot how bad things were when Biden took office. A big fraction of the country was still living on Covid assistance; unemployment had’t come back anywhere near non emergency levels. The US is the only country that managed to recover as if all that shit hadn’t happened. And, the news is so good at twisting things that most people say they trust Trump more on the economy although Biden has whatever good intentions that they like instead etc etc.

The propaganda trolls are, with rare exceptions, the only accounts I have ever seen who will say “I’m from X location and this is what I think.” I honestly have not the slightest idea why that is part of it, but unless some reason comes up for them to say where they’re from, most people will just do the “This is what I think” part.

What, you mean like strategy and consistent work to effect the change he wanted to see in the world?

Crazy. It’ll never work. Let’s do weird grandstanding gestures that’ll play right into the hands of his enemies, instead.

A bunch of people have been trying to kill qualified immunity recently. The ABA has a page talking about it, which doesn't really pull any punches about what a horrendously bad idea they think it is.

Hatred keeps people young

I'm only half joking, you need some kind of vigor or spirit to sustain you, and it seems like bitterness is a certain type of vigor that works for the criterion.
