All three have one thing in common: named as potential replacements.
Media moves quick to burn.

Tobacco water pipe!
A broad coalition of the liberals, centrists, conservatives with the Nazis who were willing to outlaw and arrest a fifth of the government for the final vote to function.
They wanted it banned. And they got it banned. They saw a chance to win, took it, and won. Simple as.
Trick question: assume everyone is a child until proven otherwise.
I mean this strategy is how we got Trump in the first place. Zero lessons learned.
Shit, the Freikorps immediately turned around after murdering the Spartacus League and overthrew the SPD government who sent them out. The Kapp Putsch. And the SPD compromised with them.
Don’t forget helping manufacture the Clean Wehrmacht mythology. Sanitized fucking Heinz Guderian.
Just a casual grasp of historical events and a critical phase of post-war and interwar politics and economies of Europe.
There’s a lesson there!
They didn’t forget: they explictly and knowingly realized they could abuse the checks and balances and there would be no consequences. And they have so far been right.
The default mentality necessary for entering a political thread.
Open any random page and start reading. Spiral time.
“AI” image generation actually takes a lot of human knowledge and understanding of the models to manipulate outcomes. It is a different kind of effort, but the issues with it are based in human use of the tool.

There is no expectation for an elected Democrat to align with their party platform. Likewise no one can or should expect a Republican to break from their party. Any reliance on either is a fool’s errand.
I mean about 70% of Americans support at least a public option for health insurance. Yet there is no pathway forward for 70% of Americans with either party.
So it sucks that such an intransigent faction isn’t even representative.
I wonder how many of the dyed-in-the-wool DNC supporters would stay home or vote third party if Biden wasn’t the candidate chosen at the convention.

Real wages are still below inflation. Nominal wage growth is what is above inflation.
Which means people are getting more money but it is worth less.
This means economic growth is down, and therefore the overall economy is demonstrably not in good shape.
