NH guy here. It's complicated. She hasn't made the splash other emerging progressives have. I like her and what she represents as a candidate. I've shaken hands with her. I will vote for her in the primary.

But it's a bit of a scary move to make. I'm worried that the party won't give her the support she needs if she makes it, or that she won't take the reins very effectively if the party does properly back her.

It's a bit of a leap of faith to try to give her the nomination. Pappas is a decently secure win by the polling I've read about. Manshur is a wild card who could crush it or fizzle out.

The America First movement is the post-Trump grassroots conservative faction. The party is fighting with them and trying to redirect them to its own aims, but these people know they've been lied to before, so it might remain under its own control.

My assessment is that it's a bit less of a threat to my queer friends than MAGA, and far less destructive on most other fronts, but it isn't my biggest focus.so I could be missing something.

No, no, common mistake. Shitposts are different from shit posts, and are also distinct from posts about shit, though there may be some overlap. That meme belongs nowhere but the demented bowels of the data center it came from.

While this is kinda true, none of the policies the Republican party pushes off this line of propaganda will help at all.

Democratic primaries are routinely pulling dramatically more turnout than Republican ones. I believe the Trump team is in hot water in primary battles too, not as bad as the corporatist Dems, but discord and anti-Trump sentiment are non-trivial within the party. I'm no prophet or expert analysr, but good things might happen.

This is easy to fake, but I think it is happening. They're spamming Truth Social with bots to drown out the dissent now. That's not good for them.

It might be more about the dissent rising in the right-wing media ecosystem than people waking up ontheir own, but the dissent in the right-wing media system may be driven by falling viewership, so maybe it's the whole thing collapsing in unison. Last poll I saw had him down to 33% now.

A woman is an adult who says she is and means it. Especially if she has tits. Most, but not all, are female.

Closest thing to a forever world I did was in the middle of beta, back when biomes were more the product of smoothly varying numbers than hard-coded distinct regions with borders. Random seed, medium difficulty, solo, no mods, and gamerules weren't a thing. But it's long lost now.

I like my wife and son, but if I had to go, I'd pick the civilization we call the Minoans in Crete. They had malls that were ancient ruins before the pyramids went up, women in positions of power, tits consistently out, sunny beaches, and IIRC two thousand years of mostly unbroken prosperity. Maybe I'd get to be some eccentric noblewoman's pet scientist. Maybe I'd just fish for a living in a sleepy village.
