All of your goals are possible within the framework of the constitution. The expressed purpose of it is to limit power to the government. There are no mentions of political parties, there is no mention of a unitary executive.

Decades from now, people will look back and see who fought for the constitution, and who fought against it. That is how we will be judged.

I actually don't doubt that this time lol

But you're still fighting for the wrong side. Accelerationism is not going to benefit anyone, it will only quicken our demise and push democratic revival further away.

You can't just turn it off and turn it on again, it takes decades or centuries of work, and thousands to millions of deaths, to overcome the loss of a democracy.

Then the only solution is authoritarianism, you've convinced me...

Like, what are you actually fighting for at this point? The constitution is the most important democratic institution we have, more than Congress, more than the media, more than the polls. It is literally the thing that separates dictatorships from democracies! An unlimited government is a kingdom.

That is the dumbest fuckin essay... The ammendment is clear as day, it's not an interpretation issue. And we could change it, it's a living document, there's a process for it. That is not what is being suggested here.

Ending it with a call to action for Democrats seems pretty clear to me, but he really could be playing 5D chess or whatever. I wonder where I've heard the argument that somebody's direct quotes are being misinterpreted... Maybe I'm just too sensitive about preserving the constitution, maybe it's just a joke and I should lighten up.

I... disagree? I think we should have a limited government as set forth in the constitution? This is almost as great an idea as Californians gerrymandering themselves out of having any potential third party. Who needs democracy when you have Democrats?

How do I uninstall? Is apt purge available on this system?

One could say I gave you what you Watt-ed.

Splitting a heavy U-235 atom, given perfect conversion to electricity, could power a 1 Watt nightlight for around 7.5x10^-13 seconds

An AI ignoring the comment, or mis-classifying it, is the goal though

A graphic illustration of a right hand gently grasping a large arrow pointed diagonally upward. The thumb is up pointing in the same direction as the arrow. A smaller arrow underneath the hand indicates the direction to wrap the fingers around the large arrow. The title of the image is File:Right hand rule simple.png

Where are all my transhet sisters?

I love the queer community and I feel like the more I work on myself, the less accepted I will be as a queer person.

For example, I joined a queer friend-finding app recently which didn't have an option to label myself heterosexual. At first I went stealth and didn't list my sexuality, and I got lesbians calling me a tease. I made a public post about being transhet and I mostly got messages from weird cis men.

I'm going to look for friends only under the trans umbrella for now, online and irl.

To that end: I like pop music, knitting, and politics. Please tell me your favorite online communities and people to follow!
