I have my doubts. Way back at the beginning, the Jacobins of the French Revolution hardly needed women to egg on their murderous antics, and were notoriously quite harsh toward the OG militant feminists (the 'revolutionary republican women') too.

The only woman in this race is more conservative than 2/3 of the men, and a more effective saleswoman for conservatism in Canada than the remaining 1/3 (who ended up dead last as a result).

Unfortunately Lewis got eliminated in the second round, despite actually getting the most votes, because she came last in 'points'. FFS.

At least MacKay got crushed in the end, thank God. As a Lewis voter, I consider O'Toole to be neither great nor terrible, but at least a candidate I can live with & vote for.

DOA, huh? Seems a very fitting acronym for this proposal.

Garrett Foster was ex-Air Force too, IIRC. What in the blue skies are they teaching USAF recruits these days?

What can I say, us humans are technically part of the ape family, just like those chimps. And at least that raccoon was still alive & conscious by the end of the video - TFW literal chimps show more mercy and less pointless sadism than BLM.

Whoa now. I think comparing animals, such as that unfortunate raccoon, to these murderous barbarians is an unfair disservice to the former.

I'd also add 'if BLM does this to animals that can't fight back, can you imagine what they'd do to their enemies should they ever secure the upper hand' but there's really no need to imagine that after the past couple months, is there?

It's clear to me that the Corporatists are trying to undermine Trump's "Law & Order" narrative

Now that I've had a night to think this over, it seems quite obvious that that's the purpose of picking Harris for Biden's VP, that or the Dems have just given up on this year entirely of course. She represents both a pivot away from the riotous disorder that's proving more unpopular by the day, and bait to get Trump to cede ground on the 'law and order' front.

Definitely not a trap his campaign should fall for by going after her on the grounds that she 'just' locked up criminals - they're never going to attract the diehard progressive dangerhair vote, and such a tack would weaken them with suburban voters who want safety and calm above all.

IMO, it'd be best for the Trump campaign to instead continue running on a strident law & order, tough-on-crime line - while also hammering home the point that Harris doesn't represent law & order herself, but self-centered anarcho-tyranny. And fortunately, Tulsi Gabbard has done most of the work there with her own attack on Harris on the debate stage. There's absolutely nothing lawful or orderly about smoking weed while jailing other weed-smokers or hiding exonerating evidence to get innocents killed for the sake of one's own ambitions.

Personally I'm not sure whether it was just Rock Paper Shotgun making things up or Paradox initially actually preparing to scrap DV, but reversing course when they saw the torrent of outrage from their fanbase. Either way, definitely a positive development.

I will say that if it's the latter case, that bodes well for Paradox learning from the mistakes it made with Imperator. Which would be another pleasant surprise.

Deus Vult is still going to be in the game, praise Jesus. But even so, it would be wise to wait until not only the first reviews but also the first few DLCs come out before getting the game - it's still made by Paradox, after all.

Plus Tulsi could actually appeal to Trump-leaning voters. No moderate is going to be swayed by Harris.

While I agree that Gabbard isn't as bad as Harris let's not go too far, her stance on reparations and gun rights already makes her unelectable for anyone who's already considering Trump.

That said, Harris really was the worst of the supposed major contenders in the primaries and so utterly unable to attract votes that she flamed out before even reaching Iowa. I am stunned that the Dems have now chosen her to be their de-facto presidential candidate, and stunned even more that anyone on r/politics or elsewhere thinks she'd last a second against Mike Pence after her atrocious performance against Gabbard in the 2nd Democratic debate.

The far left clearly intends for Biden to be their Alexander Kerensky. That's to say, the spineless useful-idiot '''''moderate''''' politician who gives them enough room to really kickstart their revolution (especially by cracking down on any right-wing attempt to organize resistance), after which he - and the old liberal-democratic system through which they got him elected - will have outlived his usefulness.

Furthermore, Kerensky adopted a policy that isolated the right-wing conservatives, both democratic and monarchist-oriented. His philosophy of "no enemies to the left" greatly empowered the Bolsheviks and gave them a free hand, allowing them to take over the military arm or "voyenka" (Russian: Военка) of the Petrograd and Moscow Soviets.[29] His arrest of Lavr Kornilov and other officers left him without strong allies against the Bolsheviks, who ended up being Kerensky's strongest and most determined adversaries, as opposed to the right wing, which evolved into the White movement.
