  • There’s an interesting theory that Hitler was put in place by time travelers as the last-bad option that wouldn’t destroy the timeline.

    Hitler (and Trump) made a number of blundering errors that any idiot should’ve/known better than to make. Had a competent, or even a supervillain-type been in charge, things could’ve turned out even worse than they did. You don’t have to look far- some of these villains attach themselves to those in power. Himmler and Heydrich would’ve been far worse for the world, but were somewhat limited by not being the ones directly in power.







  • There are a number of them being floated right now. If Biden had dropped out a year ago, they would’ve had a traditional competition in the primary. Then we would’ve all gotten complacent and assumed we had it made, and we’d end up in 2016 again.

    But to directly answer your question, the names I see being floated the most are CA gov Newsom, MI gov Whitmer, KY gov Beshear, and PA gov Shapiro. And yes, switching to any of them would be difficult and risky.














  • With perks like that who needs donors and TV ad time? This isn’t the 80s. Elections aren’t won on television ads.

    No, but they are still very much won with money. Advertising of various forms (TV, radio, Internet, billboards, yard signs, T-shirts, the list goes on), local outreach, field offices, door to door campaigners, booths at events, social media, and countless more. All of it is driven by money.

    Citizens United fucked every election since. It exclusively dealt with campaign finance.
