The rules are poorly written and even more poorly enforced.

Coordinate with a candidate before they announce their candidacy?

Pass

Coordinate with an individual who is then hired as an advisor to the candidate?

Pass

Coordinate with the children / spouse of an incumbent candidate?

Pass

Coordinate with the candidate themselves through means that prevent detection?

Pass

Coordinate with a candidate explicitly in broad daylight while making no attempt to hide it and leave a paper trail, electronic records, notarized documents, and a plan to do so again in the future and market your services doing so to other candidates?

Candidate elected; you are at a sub 1% chance to be charged with a misdemeanor if investigated by the DoJ because the FEC can’t be arsed

Idk my father got a set of titanium chompers, he eats ice as a snack now.

Yes when you cultivate a brainwashed mob of barely literate hateful fools you can manipulate them pretty easily.

Frankly I’ve abandoned democracy. We aren’t responsible enough to keep it and it’s grown too onerous to manage. It’s a garden that has overgrown our house. I doubt what’s coming will be better but hatching is rarely a good thing from the viewpoint of the eggshell.

There isn’t a question in your previous comment.

And apparently you haven’t heard the one.

You don’t wrestle a pig in mud because it gets mud all over you and the pig likes it.

It will only drive up donorship to the Republicans and foster more lenient bribery donation policy from the Democrats going forward.

The Democrats need to actually submit themselves to overhauling campaign funding if they want to make any headway. But they want that money. They want it more than they want any of their alleged policy goals.

Ever hear the one about wrestling a pig in the mud?

Um. Leftists vote at the highest rate of any polity.

There’s just not many of us.

The DNCs “standards” weren’t impressive to millions of center / center-left voters who voted for Biden.

Probably because they nakedly shilled themselves to anyone with a checkbook. Had no stances, offered no solutions, and came across as wildly out of touch.

Imagine how a tax credit for first time home buyers sounds to someone who can’t afford groceries.

They outspent and lost this time.

There sure are a lot of people trying to blame the left because their strategy of appealing to the middle failed.

Good I hope the Pennsylvanians hate it.

Warframe vibes.

Women of mass destruction.

There’s actually a Timothy Leary quote about this.

“Once you get the message hang up the phone.”

I’m tryna get on that toad.

It would if our legal system wasn’t a sham. Unfortunately basically every “rule” it has is snapped off at the base from the lightest breath of a wealthy Pearson.

It’s cool how only the fascists bribed donated to our politicians.

They won’t be around for much of history.

Another reason to stop nominating senile geriatrics, as if even one were ever needed.

The wrong genocidal corporate stooge won.

The high horse is about to suffer a quadruple amputation.

By the very same logic the rest of the world allowing us to tread on it to our hearts content is equally at fault.

We never could have established this idiotic sense of superiority without dozens of, if not a clear hundred client states that willingly allowed our corporate vampires a nice suckle.

They don’t call it the double Texan, it’s the double Irish that our largest firms have used to skirt international and domestic taxation for decades.

We have more extra national military bases than domestic ones because so many nations were happy to cede their freedoms for security.

The pipers bill has been in the mail a long time.

While this is true, homogeneous culture combined with comparatively harsh conditions throughout Scandinavia along with the typical standing armies that would be difficult to maintain under an anarchic coalition or syndicate certainly play a role. I think the world has a lot to learn from the Nordic models, but am skeptical about their long-term viability as American hegemony sunsets.

Well let’s see. The concept of the state Is roughly 3,000 years old, and humanity is roughly 300,000 years old so.

But implementing it on any sort of scale alongside nuclear extractionist states would be pretty tricky. At the very least they would start dumping their waste into these zones if not openly land grabbing and hunting anarchists for sport.
