b_m_b_m_b_m Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 2 hours ago, CitizenVectron said: I am not blaming the current conditions of the US on this (since it's the GOP's fault), but the Democrats certainly have an internal culture of "all or nothing." An example is a recently Hillary Clinton interview where they were talking about the potential fall of American democracy. The interview threw in a curveball about protecting trans rights, and Clinton responded with something like (paraphrasing) 'That's absolutely important, but it won't matter if we don't have a democracy, so let's focus on that as the primary thing to protect in 2024, and ways and on which issues we can win.' There was a big backlash online among the leftist camp of the party over this comment, most saying things like "what's the point of democracy if we aren't protecting the vulnerable," etc. And that's absolutely true! But if you want to save trans rights you don't run on saving trans rights (nationally, at least), or any specific issue, you run on the big things (and targeted things in individual places) and then you implement all these things when you win. You don't need to make each issue the front-and-centre of the campaign. So the left goes to war with the centre of the party over this, and this division then helps the GOP win by making some Democrat supports more apathetic. A great comparison is in Canada with the Conservatives, Liberals, and NDP. The NDP are the most progressive major party, generally, but also have little chance of winning because they focus entirely on those issues at the lack of "mainstream" voter issues (cost of living, jobs, etc). The Liberals win the majority of elections because they focus on the mainstream issues...but when they win, they implement many of the things the NDP supports (often with the support of the NDP). In a democracy, winning matters more than what you want, because you can't do what you want if you can't win. Now, the whole issue of the Democrats actually being able to win is an entirely different story because they obviously suck at messaging nationally, etc. There's a good argument to be made that they should focus more on these progressive issues in some parts of the country. Added to that is they often have enormous success running on “these guys are fucking crazy, look at what they’ve said they’re going to do and look at the crimes they’ve openly said they have or will commit” but then do jack shit after. It’s been this way for 40+ years. after Nixon the gop got away with and continues to get away with crimes virtually unchecked so go figure they keep pushing things until they go full Christian nationalist Jim Crow style sham democracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could just let everywhere but Austin and Houston secede? I love those towns. Great food, great people, and if you go there in Winter you're not slogging through frigid ice-storms. Really diverse, too. Blacks, Hispanics, Indians, pasty Caucasians snowbirding from Wisconsin--all relatively well-integrated. I imagine a fair amount of the population there is actually really irritated with the idiocy on display by the state GOP right now, even many right-of-center Republicans. (they do still exist--had some beers with a few at a Longhorns game) I will say people are really bigoted towards supporters of rival football teams, though. The seething hatred Longhorn fans have for A&M fans, and vice versa, is a sight to behold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 One of the only theoretical ways you could save the US is by devolving most of the state powers to cities of a certain metro size (city states, effectively). That way most of the population in urban centres could have the laws they want, and the boonies could have the laws they want. The risk would be traveling between cities, I suppose. Would need convoys protected by flame-throwing guitars and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would need convoys protected by flame-throwing guitars and whatnot. Metro areas just need to be able to separate into their own states. There's no delegating powers here. If the Dallas-Fort Worth metro were its own state it would be another Massachusetts in both population and GDP. It would be crazy to have control of the entire state of Massachusetts delegated to some crazy conservatives in Ohio, but that's exactly what's happening. No, seriously, given the size of Texas, it's exactly like Massachusetts being controls by conservatives in Ohio. It's ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
