    there should probably just be a politics thread for the next few weeks until this election is over

    The poor mods.

    Feel for the D&D mods, who have two separate Coronavirus threads, two threads about SCOTUS, and at least four active threads about varying aspects of US government policy.

    they know what they're getting into

    The NDP have called for an emergency debate on the anti-Mi'qmak violence and several Liberal ministers have written to demand action

    Hopefully we'll see a federal response from here

    While that's better than the nothing that's been happening thus far, the bitter and cynical part of me can't help but wonder if there would be "debate" about how to proceed if natives burned down a white business

    The only debate would likely be who the RCMP wanted to take the fall for it and whether or not they'd let them survive to trial.

    MAS appears to have won the Bolivian elections with an overwhelming majority.



    Here's the CIA installed rightwing president conceding the election.

    I used to wonder why right wingers kept on trying to put unpopular dictators in power, since it never, ever fucking worked out for us basically ever. In one way or another, even from a purely realpolitik selfish nation-first point of view, it always backfired in the end and was worse for us than if we'd tried to just earn their trust, or just done nothing at all.

    I stopped wondering a long time ago.

    Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. - Lincoln

    In quite a number of cases it was a small group of individuals who stood to profit enormously from putting their man in the chair.

    That’s it.

    That’s as far as they thought! They thought, ‘I could make $150m here’ and then they did the thing

    Bolivia interim government simply lacked any strategy:
    • Interim president Añez signs up as candidate, gets told "that's illegal", quits as candidate waay too late and doesn't endorse anybody.
    • Camacho also quits without endorsing anybody.
    • Mesa and the religious right get on a catfight.

    A lot of "dog catches the car" moments, meanwhile, the MAS fights to get back into power.

    According to a vice news correspondent, the anonymous Breonna Taylor murder grand jury members have gotten permission to publically confirm that the state attorney general did not give the grand jury the chance to consider any charges to press other than the wanton endangerment charges for the officer shooting into the neighbor's house.
