  • 2002 ford explorer. You don’t see many 20 year old cars on the road at all, but that thing was already a rare sight by 2012 when I ignorantly bought mine.

    After owning that pile of scrap for 2 or 3 years, when the 2nd transmission gave way and the front left suspension just sorta collapsed in on itself, I was left surprised that any of those cars survived beyond 2003.

    Recently finished “The Astounding Wolf-man” vol. 1, and plan to get vol. 2 the next time that I go into town.

    I’ve also had New 52 Batman vol. 4 & 5 (Zero Year Arc) sitting on my desk ready to start the moment that I take a notion. Just haven’t been in as much of a comics mood lately as normal.

    So, I was right that you didn’t watch the video, and instead of watching the video, you STILL did not watch the video. And you STILL don’t know what the core of the video is about because AI is shit at summarizing stuff like this. It wants to present a list of talking points, but does not know how to emphasize important parts or highlight which parts were focused on the longest.

    I don’t have the time to debunk all of this gish-gallop. The main points are that what you identified as “If this was the core of the video, it’d be grand” and “More good stuff” - IS the core of the video - taking up, a roughly estimated, 15 minutes of the 21-minute video runtime. Your speculation that “The solution is not to vote for Biden/Harris” is incorrect, as the actual call to action was to be more active in Democratic primaries. (Specifically calls out George Ladimer vs Jamal Bowman in New York as an example).

    Honestly? If this video was being made in 1995 or 2004, it’d be great.

    Yeah, pretty much exactly what I said in my original comment. Most of this video is providing historical context and explaining how the modern American political-economic system works.

    I really feel like you replied without watching the video because none of that is from the video.

    The video explains what a sacrificial villain is in the context of a two-party partisan legislator, expands on why this is necessary in modern politics, then encourages the viewers to continue to support more progressive Democrats so that the strategy is more difficult to pull off successfully without alienating large populations of voters.

    Surprising to see so many on lemmy not watch the video, or recognize that it is by Second Thought.

    I watched this video earlier today and it didn’t contain any particularly new or insightful information for me, but that’s almost entirely because I’ve been somewhat politically active for a while, which I don’t think is strictly his target demographic at this point.

    Second thought’s videos were very uncomfortable but informative when I was first learning about socialism.

    Again, just surprising to me that they aren’t more popular in this online space.
