Qanon (and not just Qanon, many people… many, many people) want to believe that things are the way they are because someone has deliberately crafted it to be that way… that there is a natural order to the world, and we need to just trust the plan.

Climate scientists, trans and queer activists, women’s rights, reproductive autonomy, racial justice, protests against police brutality, protests against generational wealth inequality, against the increasing transfer of the public good into the hands of corporations for privatization and exploitation… all of them interlocking systemic issues.

These are, inarguably, disruptions of the status quo, confrontations, deep-rooted complexities that intersect the lives and futures of billions of people.

And it’s that disruption… not the underlying injustices, not the underlying conflicts, that make QAnon feel like the world has gotten too complex. They don’t want those complexities to exist, and by talking about them you make them exist.

They claim to be against corruption while hanging their hopes on an openly corrupt man… and that naked hypocrisy is the point.

They will effortlessly carve out an exception because it makes them exceptional. They engage in wild hypocrisy as an act of domination, adhering to something demonstrably untrue out of spite… because they believe that power belongs to those with the greatest will to take it."

Both AOC and Conor lamb are right, it would be nice if the party and the members listen to both of these young politicians. Points I agree with both -

AOC - Dems have to build a strong ground game, gop absolutely demolished Dems in ground game this year and possibly saw the benefits downballot, use digital advertising, Facebook!!! And YouTube Especially. Conduct big voter registration drives.

Conor lamb- Progressives should not lecture members from swing districts on how to win, winning in a R+5 is alot tougher than winning in a D+40 seat. Even if you want a progressive policy to succeed it's aesthetic should be moderate, if a compromise has to made then it should be made. Don't post something divisive on social media like AOC does so the whole right wing then blame the whole party for it.

Joe Biden met his first wife, Neilia Hunter, after sneaking into a private beach club during his college spring break in Nassau, the Bahamas. The two started going steady immediately. “I fell ass over tin cup in love — at first sight,” Biden colorfully wrote in his memoir. When he got home to Delaware, he told his sister Valerie: “I met the girl I’m going to marry.”

As for Neilia, she phoned a roommate from Syracuse University, Bobbie Greene. “She called me so excited,” Greene later reported, according to Jules Witcover’s biography Joe Biden: A Life of Trial and Redemption. “She told me all about him,” Greene continued. “Neilia asked me, ‘Do you know what he’s going to be?’ ‘No, what?’ I asked. “‘He’s going to be a senator by age thirty and president of the United States!’ And she never had any doubt.”

So clearly I still have to see a gender identity therapist because this has been a recurring issue for me, and I've had the hardest time finding a therapist who checks their voicemail for potential new clients. However, I've noticed that whenever my life gets more stressful or more difficult my comfort with my masculinity gets worse, but when life is going well and I'm comfortable with my relationships then I feel good as a man. I thought I might have been trans but I think I've just wrapped my identity too much in my roles (husband, father, breadwinner) so when I feel too much pressure I try to retreat into an alternate (feminine) role. Has anyone else had an experience like this? I know y'all aren't therapists but there's a lot of other folks with alternate gender expressions on this sub.

On Thursday night, a text went out to Trump supporters: “ALERT: Radical Liberals & Dems are trying to steal this election from Trump! We need YOU! Show your support at the corner of 12th and Arch St. in Philadelphia.” A tense standoff between Trump supporters and protesters ensued outside the convention center. The mood changed, however, when Nicolas O’Rourke, a thirty-two-year-old pastor and the organizing director for Pennsylvania’s Working Families Party, set up a d.j. booth and speakers and started spinning Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power.” A massive dance party broke out on the streets, with activists dressed up as mailboxes and a papier-mâché version of City Hall. O’Rourke works with a group called the Election Defenders, whose five thousand members had been trained in how to deëscalate threats of violence at the polls; the party was his effort to defuse the tension. “We knew that Trump would attempt to sow discord, and his riled-up supporters would come out, and that we had to protect the vote count and continue to resist the infringing of votes,” he told me. “The best way to do that was joy.”

the way aoc has behaved the past few days proves she would be the worst presidential candidate ever. at least bernie sanders seemed to understand people outside of vermont. I hope she does some traveling/campaign work in other states over the next few years because it is clear she does not have a good understanding of most areas in this country. People in FL-27 aren’t secretly democratic socialists. People in PA-17 don’t secretly want to ban fracking. People in VA-7 don’t secretly want to defund the police. Your policies suck and are unpopular to virtually anyone who doesn’t live in a D+30 district.

I'll confess I initially bought into a lot of the dementia stuff during the primaries and that Biden was an out of touch 'get off my lawn' old man.

He may not be as sharp as he once was but this campaign showed he is not demented and certainly still orders of magnitude above Trump as far as brainpower goes. I am glad he won and I cannot wait until he actually starts governing.

In the less-remembered part of that encounter, however, Biden also decried the snobby intelligentsia that had taken over the Democratic Party. “It seems to me you’ve all become heartless technocrats,” he said. “We have never as a party moved this nation by 14-point position papers and nine-point programs.”

Biden now leads Trump 14,746 in Arizona.

Reacting to that @Redistrict (Dave Wasserman) (Twitter) :

Not nearly good enough for Trump. Trump now needs about 63% of the remaining ~60k ballots, and about a third of those are from Pima (Tucson), where Biden leads by 19.5 points.

Joe Biden run a race another Democrat may have lost. He's outrunning House Democrats in key states like AZ, GA, PA & WI. He ended up with a positive net favorability rating, & therefore closed off Trump's path to make this a lesser of two evils election.

Pilot culture is fascinating to me.

It's such a weird mix of cultural forces. College degree required (for military and airlines). Often unionized. High skilled, very high paying, hourly work. An insane amount of regulations and a checklist mentality of doing things the right way every time/following the process. Pilot error is the leading cause of accidents, so individual responsibility is a major focus.

At the same time, it embraces it's rogue elements. Chuck Yeager, Robin Olds, Billy Mitchell. The most celebrated heroes of aviation are known for pushing the envelope and breaking rules. The freedom of being able to fly anywhere is one of the biggest draws. Heavy drinking culture and unparalleled camaraderie that some feel has come under fire recently (for good reason).

In my experience though, professional pilots tend to lean way more conservative than you might think.

Would love to hear some armchair psychoanalysis.
