Someone said that when you convince liberals that the reason things are the way they are is entirely and totally caused by the orange man then it is not that surprising that for some of them their solution becomes "kill the orange man".

You don't see marxists or fascists trying to kill Trump because both these wings of politics also understand that killing him will change absolutely nothing. You'll get an aesthetic change. Libs will go back to brunch. Media will change its tune. But fundamentally everything will be the same.

It is only the centrist true believers lenin-dont-laugh that think removing him is the panacea to all things. Much like they think you can do the same with Putin or Xi and magically things will be different. To them everything is done by a single individual and not by systems, organisations and political movements.

I doubt a Marxist would have an opportunity and just not take it, IMO it's much more likely they're not trying to naruto-run leeroy jenkins everything. You gotta remember that libs don't have 5 year plans.

Absolutely brutal takedown of Mamdani

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

Absolutely not, Mamdani correctly recognized that his mission in life was to reduce Halal prices for me, and that any detours that risked Tabitha not getting cheaper Halal would risk a 1000 year era of darkness for humanity. Cole had better chances than Mamdani, but more importantly, Mamdani had something better to do.
