Was just now talking to @lakelaur and saying that the problem with our faction is that we instinctively just think cooperatively; we look at any given thing and ask ourselves "how is this best used (or not used) to the benefit of all?" rather than "How can I use this to my benefit?"
And that, o my brothers, is why we are fucking terrible at dominance and powerseeking behaviors, and perpetually the underdogs. And ever may it be thus, says I. We don't win by becoming them.

True. We win by pulling the rug out from under them. Unfortunately the Democratic party is instead pulling the football out from under the left, and giving the right enough rope to hang themselves. Lots of casualties in the left and middle with those strategems.

It's also an uphill battle as long as crypto exists to bribe Republicans & Democrats with the equivalent of 37000 bags of cash. #DirtySCOTUS
