Damn-dewey - Just Some Fuckery

Kamala Harris' career is a perfect guide for how to infiltrate a corrupt system and slowly change it from within.

She played the long game and made strategic compromises. She followed the rules, even the ones she didn't agree with, knowing that doing so would enable her to rise in the ranks and secure a position of power. And then whenever she managed to achieve a greater position power, she used her new power to change the rules for the better.

And I think it bothers certain leftists that Kamala Harris exists, because she challenges the story they've been telling themselves and everyone who will listen to them, that it is impossible to change the system from within, and the only solution is violent revolution.

Kamala Harris is living proof that there is a more humane, more deliberate, and more effective way to improve a broken system than simply waiting for it to destroy itself and hoping something better replaces it.

Her existence challenges the worldview of certain extreme leftists who would rather punish the system for its sins than try to improve it. They have become so resistant to having this worldview challenged that they are participating in a smear campaign against Kamala Harris. They are now promoting a false narrative that she's totally corrupt and morally bankrupt and she hasn't accomplished anything, just so they can continue evangelizing their false doctrine that corrupt systems are irredeemable, and the only solution is violent revolution.

I don't know what it will take to de-radicalize the leftists who've fallen into this ideological pit where they value ideological purity over actual real-world progress.

Kamala Harris is not perfect, and that's actually a point in her favor.

Because perfect is the enemy of good.

We don't need our political leaders to be perfect. We need them to do good.

“So think about it: Although President Biden theoretically has the power to order Seal Team Six to assassinate Trump today, if he wanted to, we all know he won’t. And precisely because we know he won’t, he doesn’t need the kind of immunity that the Court created. (And, as noted above, isn’t protected by it in the case of a bad faith successor.) By contrast, the one person who has and will use the powers for corrupt, criminal, and self-interested ends while in office is Trump. And the one person who needs immunity while out of office is Trump. In short, the Court conveniently places a bad faith former president out of the reach of a good faith sitting president, which in our current political landscape benefits one party when in office and constrains the other. Some unitary executive.”

A beautiful video from Gaza by showed children huddling around and watching Hind’s Hall. The people of Palestine see when we all support them and watch what we all do on social media and it makes them feel supported. If this was the only objective activism fulfilled, it would suffice.
