There really was no illusions made when it was first set up. It was explicitly stated that even common land owners were not to be democratically trusted. The illusions come later as the system is reformed and the antidemocratic measures were wallpapered over.

There’s the electoral college which was set up deliberately as an antidemocratic measure by the founding fathers. More so than it is now. But we haven’t gotten to that stage of the season yet.

Right now we’re in the primaries, which is an entirely ad-hoc system made up on a party by party, state by state basis. Each state decides when the primaries happen and what form of election they will be. Each party decides how those results will be counted in their own convention. There’s little to no federal regulation regarding the primary process. The end result is a year long spectacle.

Of course this season we’re being denied the spectacle for a shitty rerun.

Clearly those two buildings were HAMAS bases.

Bruh its a joke.

This is like the more recent ICJ confirmed genocide of the rohingya. Myanmar tried to relocated them to some recently formed island made of river silt.

So that just leaves Nikki Haley. Is NYT now gonna try to take her seriously now or just ignore her?

Mods should let me test an ai posting botnet on it.

I just heard a Das Racist song in an Instacart ad. Earlier I caught a Brad Sucks song in a Lexus commercial.

Once you turn old enough your worst generational peers will weaponize your youth against you. Soon you zoomers will be hearing 100 gecs in an ad for a lawnmower.

The article shows the pork industry pushing restaurants to slap bacon on everything, not engaging in viral marketing. Le Epic Bacon being a organic consequence of the inorganic baconator.

Did evidence of a viral marketing campaign ever come out? Its believable because of Edward Bernaise and all.

FYI you can use three backticks to fence entire blocks of code.

Reminder that [r/neoliberal was created by and is astroturfed by a fossil fuel think tank called the Progressive Policy Institute, as part of their "Neoliberal Project"](https://archive.is/dNo5d#selection-533.230-533.424)

PPI has been around since 1989 and views itself as Bill Clinton's "idea mill" aka think tank. [Why I call them a fossil fuel think tank is detailed here.](https://archive.is/4Voil#selection-595.0-597.270) They oppose climate action, defend fracking, and receive donations from Exxon Mobil.

it's safe to say that their upvotes are farmed, and their organic support is mostly bourgeois economics and political science majors and interns who hope to work for PPI or a similar think tank one day. It's basically a Neera Tanden farm.

The creator of r/neoliberal, [Colin Mortimer](https://twitter.com/Colinmort), is the [Director of the Center for New Liberalism at PPI](https://archive.is/Jq2sO), which seeks to "develop a salient identity around the center-left values that have increasingly come under fire in this age of populism."

Is this just for the traffic violation and not the manslaughter charge? Is there no manslaughter charge?

Sounds like a literal Russian fascist.

Thank you.

Superbad? Maybe I’m not remembering that movie correctly but I remember him being the abrasive one in that movie. Compare:

Jonah Hill has an abrasive attitude. This guy sounds like meek Gizmo from the What We Do in the Shadows tv show.

No.

I dont get it. Is it about moses or the canal?

Honestly sounds more like Musk got shit faced. Them coming back confirms it in my book.

So the lever doesnt work anymore because the us has achieved oil independence.
