Would it make sense to have bought it in the past just for leverage now? (not asking about 1 stock but if a ton of ppl did)

So essentially throwing a ton of things at the wall and seeing what sticks (when you don’t know what thing (eg. job) you actually want to aim for)? Hmm I can imagine that being the best approach at times

You are right that being delibarate about picking a strategy and constantly returning to it so it structures your ADHD brain is a very helpful approach. What I’m looking to hear about is people’s alternatives to the strategy of googling when the goal is finding real-world opportunities like jobs or housing. Ie. other methods for traversing that net of chaos.

Perhaps if they piggybacked some sort of strike movement and/or cooperated with trade unions (plus focused only on a few seats initially)? That’s what the Labour party did in the UK.

Yeah, I feel like people on here have a bad habit of relating even completely unrelated posts back to US politics. But if you keep reading the news then your brain tends to do that.

I agree that having a shadow president+cabinet would be a smart idea from the Dems to drive home the contrast with the GOP.

Fascinating

On the other hand, Hitler was able to steal power on 40% of the vote, and here in Czechia the communists pulled off a putsch with 30%. I’m not sure how many of the checks and balances they had already compromised by that point though.

That’s true. Much like Brexit in the UK stopped other countries’ appetite for their own brexits.

Oh, thanks for the heads up. That’s good to know.

True, it’s what Putin does. Fortunately I don’t think Trump has the intelligence to realize this is what he wants to do.

Perhaps Luigi+Trump is what it actually took to get them to move…

subsequently, raking the global market (including the US) for weapons that come loose for money

Ultimately they will have to come round to producing their own, no?
