Centrists held power since the start of the Weimar republic and spent the last 10 years working with the brownshirts to murder socialists.
The centrist’s candidate did win btw, they proceeded to staff the government with nazis who easily organized a coup.

You know the concept of Critical Support? In the case of Newsom, who if he didn’t lose a general, would demonstrate to another generation of voters that the dem party is not a potential vehicle for positive social change, its the opposite, critical opposition.
I’m sure there were social democrats in 1933 complaining that communists weren’t getting in line behind the left-most faction of the NSDAP.

Hilary […] considered distinctly weak
Not by the same proto blumaga libs who insisted Biden and Harris were strong candidates. If you pointed out people were suffering and her policies and messaging was “get a high paying job lmao”, you got bombarded with “sHE iS ThE mOsT qUaLiFiEd cAnDiDAtE iN hIsToRy”.

I could accept being a t-rex that gets tired after running, plenty of humans live meaningful lives with asthma, despite not being t-rexes.

They promised he would be a dinosaur, and he became a chicken (sandwich)?
I wouldn’t fall for the same trick. Gotta specify which dinosaur or youll get something lame like a brontosaur.

capitalism will solve climate change
Tangential, but thats what disgusted me about the Osaka world expo. The theme was sustainability so you had fossil fuel companies presenting wildly impractical “solutions” and art projects. The message was “things are under control, continue sleepwalking into oblivion”

- Comment on Taiwan refuses to move half of U.S.-bound chip production to American shores — trade discussion to be focused on Section 232 investigation for preferential deal on semiconductors 4 weeks ago:
I mean sure but they’re also more likely to agree to give America all their resources, factories, and launch kamikazee attacks against mainland China until their population is expended under a dem president than Trump.
Either has a likelihood of approximately zero because it literally only benefits the US at the expense of Taiwan, and the US influence of its puppet government is only so strong, we still need to contend with local politics.

TSMC produces 3nm chips, SMIC has less economic yields for their 7nm process. I have little doubt they will eventually figure out DUV or some alternative technique, but for now they are still 3-5 years behind.

They had literally agreed to surrender before the first bomb dropped, their only condition being that the emperor remain, which the US agreed to anyway.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 5 weeks ago:
Kind of. That’s not really reconciled with the a general impression that the US won every single battle, and couldn’t find any more enemies to fight, because the Vietnamese would run away and hide in the woods or among the locals and the US only lost the war at home.

No, they literally taught that the romans feasted so much they had special rooms for vomiting in. One of my aunts was incredulous that it was no longer taught, and insisted she had been to rome and saw the vomitoria, and remains convinced that it’s just some new theory by some fringe historian.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 5 weeks ago:
Rome didn’t have special rooms for people to vomit in, then resume feasting.
Soviet blocking brigades weren’t machine gun nests set up to mow down retreating soviet soldiers.
Vietnam had a regular army, it wasn’t entirely a guerrilla force.
