You've characterized the dilemma perfectly. And you've hit on a surprisingly paradoxical problem: How do you defeat minoritarian rule? (I say paradoxical because you would think that it's easier to defeat a small band of dissenters, but the history of slavery, Jim Crow, and imperial rule all...
I've heard this kind of assessment before, but I don't really get it. Let me explain why.
The GOP is basically a fascistic party. There are splits within, but by and large its members are committed to absolute hierarchy. Patriarchy is the rule; women can participate so long as they do not upset...
This is a brilliant analogy.
In the United States, people operate under the fiction that leveraging capitalist market solutions will solve what is, principally, the management of the discontented masses, and which, for historic reasons, is fundamentally anti-black social control.
In China...
You'll have to elaborate.
What, exactly, is the incentive for police brutality and why do you think monetary incentives will change policing?
Are you suggesting that local governments sell bonds to Wall Street, and then use the proceeds to then incentivize 'better' policing? But if debt is...

Then again, I think @Mark Antony has the right idea.
What you’ve encouraged isn’t about rusty and friends. You’re just wrong, not in your deeper concerns about democracy, but in trying to flex as if you’re the only one who’s concerned.
It’s just an unnecessary and silly battle. Like, do you want a medal or something?
I guess I’m just confused. Millions of people voted for Biden-Harris. The senate is in play.
The Dems lost a few seats in the house. But given the years of gerrymandering and the threat of American-style fascism, what else did people expect? Minoritarian rule has an appeal among those willing...
Says the guy who knocks Twitter activists but who sees a tweet as confirmation of his own views.
Says the guy who’s more committed to telling people “I told you so” than actually doing something to change the problem.
Your analysis is routinely sloppy, and that's mostly because you struggle to differentiate where it counts.
Sometimes you can't distinguish between Democratic elected officials and activists.
Other times you can't recognize differences among activists. For you, activists are a single...
