Can We Fix It? Part 1 = DFF #286

A pendulum doesn't swing back harder, it swings back with less energy and will eventually settle in the middle...

The only way they'll actually pay attention then is if it affects them no?

The biggest issue is that our entire electoral system is based on one group of people: undecided "centrists". People who are prone to believe whatever people tell them on the spot and whose identities are as malleable as playdough. They get their news from Twitter and see tweets from the CDC and opposing tweets from TheREALAmerican1776 and assume these opposing ideas are equals. This makes them susceptible to any bullshit that is told to them. This is why we have no progress, because the only voters who matter are completely unable to think.

But if you move the point which it swings to the right, it will keep swinging but in the right wing territory instead of the center

Rounding a corner

Just a small point, Paul: a pendulum doesn't swing "harder" the other way. Pendulums swing less and less each direction until they reach equilibrium in the center.

Paul can't argue for shit and it's obvious he's still butthurt about when he talked to Vaush and had all his points thoroughly dismantled by a superior intellect. Also, props to TJ for remaining so calm when Paul childishly resorted to hurling insults at him when Paul couldn't respond to TJ's refutations.

Oh, my God. I know.

Jesus christ Paul is an egoist child with zero self awareness, he talked for 75 Percent of the show and intentionally talked over tj 15 times, then turns around and cries the one time tj interrupted him, what a retarded hypocrite

Ark Surge

Paul*strawmans tj* also paul "my intention was not to paint you uncharitably, and If I did that I apologize"

Ark Surge

Ugh, 50 minutes in and still the same shit. Paul's logical argument is emotional appeals and personal attacks mixed with cuss words

Ark Surge

Its also such a pain in the ass because paul started shit talking, whining, complaining for 20 minutes. And Scotty and tj can't even talk because every time they try to chime in during his 20 minute rant, paul starts stammering and shouting and yelling at them to let him talk. Its so irritating that Paul can't argue substantively. Tj peacefully and fairly asked paul for alternatives, and said Paul has none, and pauls reply was to cuss, and complain, and bring friendship into it and complain that tj isn't a good friend, and then paul filled the room with noise and started bitching and crying and not letting anyone talk and started playing the victim. His answer to critism is to mock it in annoying voices to try to make his critics sound stupid and annoying. Grow up and shut the fuck up, jesus. What a cry baby. Why am I paying money to hear a bitch whine in my ear.

Ark Surge

Paul is such a immature cancer child omfg. Tj asks, how do we sail past scylla and charybdis, voting for scylla being Biden, and voting for trump being charybdis, and paul's answer is to vote trump, aka picking charybdis. So Paul says to avoid charybdis, you have to choose charybdis.

Ark Surge

Im not gonna lie, paul actually made some good points for his doomer position and I feel like I have a better understanding of the 'no voting' movement.

I think the debate was unnecessarily contentious but lets be honest id rather see people shouting and screaming about their beliefs than hiding them or having no spine.

S Chattey

Fuck Paul. Grow up. you never mentioned your 3rd option. What is your 3rd option? Let Republicans win and when they hold total power magically socialist will come from heaven to save us? The solution is to wait 2 years and vote for progressives again. Let 2 more years pass and do the same. That's the most realistic strategy that we are doing.

Carlos

He thinks we should all just sing "Kum ba ya" and the world will be full of love and prosperity. That's not how any of this works.

BangoMike

Paul is still a kid at heart, yet has a superiority complex. If anyone refutes his point of view he always takes it as a personal attack rather than a statement of facts. He cant handle that his inaction contributes to the those in power maintaining it. He should just say he gave up, the rather than have this grandstanding bullshit pretending he isn't running away.

This was a great episode. Very entertaining. This is probably the best episode of they put out. I hope they do similar things again in the future.

But Biden isn't even better. Biden should be locked up as well. All of these politicians are corrupt and the media is also corrupt. None of them are going to go to jail. And everybody wants to lock each other up. This is the insanity of US Politics. I personally think all this political warfare is good as long as no real weapons are being used against each other. But the insanity is real and on both sides.

BangoMike

So Paul thinks Trumps reelection will lead to some kind of awakening in the United States? When it's more likely going to lead to a dictatorship with the loss of freedoms and rights. Trump is a criminal who at this point if is not reelected will probably be going to prison. Why do you think they are jamming in a SCOTUS nominee BEFORE the election. Trumps talk of locking his political opponents up and journalist isn't just rhetoric. Paul can go ahead and take that chance but most sane people should not.

The Paul rage was strong in this one, I love it.

Honestly really enjoyed the episode I know it’s rough to go at it like that especially with friends, but I think it’s pretty accurate to how serious this argument what can we actually do to fix shit is a question that’s always difficult to answer if you actually intend on fixing shit

Jeremy Geller

I couldn’t agree more. His twitter feed is the most autistic teenage “fuck voting!” Dog shit takes I’ve ever seen

Greg

Paul has allowed himself to justify his debilitating, incapacitating depression by turning it into some kind of pseudo-ideology. I can’t find any level of consistency to his view. It’s all based on emotion. It’s all based on “aw man the world could be perfect but it’s not so there’s no point in trying anything.” The fact that Paul and others think that view is somehow virtuous has to be the most autistic, dissociated views of reality that you can find. It’s a damn good thing that Paul stays away from society, because people like him are dead weight.

Paul just wants the world to burn

So the plan is to allow the pendulum to swing right so that it swings back left to break the system? What do we do if it breaks while swinging right? If we're speak in terms of momentum towards right or left, its easier to increase the momentum of the zeitgeist that's already moving in a given direction. Since Biden is more left than Trump, that momentum is easier to push left. I don't think we need 4 more years of trump to make the zeitgeist start moving left since it's already moving left. Bernie captivated all that momentum after an Obama's presidency, and he would have won the primary had it not been for the DNC's last minute rule changes and fuckery. In 4 years, which candiate will give the next Bernie the best chance against the DNC? I dont know, but the conversation should be about how to overcome that hurtle in 4 years. I just voted for biden because historically, that's what gives an AOC type figure the best chances for garnering enough support to blast through the DNC bullshit. Either way, if that fails, we'll descend further into fascism.
