This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Is it too late to get Biden back?
I do wonder if some of the elderly dems out there will look at what happened to Biden, see themselves, and vote for Trump. Overnight, the entire Democratic party pivoted on a dime and said "Biden who?". It was an incredible demonstration of power and message control. But that's just the media. Somewhere, there must be real Biden supporters who are mad about what happened, right? Even if it it's only a couple percent.
Trump supporters are confused by this because there is no backup Trump, if Trump had turned right instead of left the entire policy platform of the GOP is up in the air. Kamala is 99% a like for like replacement for Biden. Nobody was ever that dedicated to Biden, only to what he could get them.
If anything it's the elderly in my life who most wanted Biden out on an iceflow. Possibly just because of their tendency towards conservatism, but many cited directly to their own experience: I can't do what I used to do, he can't either, he shouldn't be president.
If Trump supporters are confused on this, it might be because they took Biden supporters seriously when they argued that Biden was, in fact, meaningfully different from the rest of the Democratic presidential hopefuls, an old-school moderate who would tone down the crazy progressivism of post-2018 blue tribe.

I'm curious about Biden himself. He's rightfully pissed and right now nominally the most powerful man on earth. I assume he sometimes have moments of lucidity where he could act on his resentment.
I'm really hoping for him lobbing some grenades while on his way out at the people who discarded him that callously.
He won't. If he really wanted to lob a grenade, he would have pardoned Hunter as soon as the ink was dry on Harris's selection.
Would posing in a Trump hat qualify as a grenade?
It's kind of hard to tell if that was...
a) exactly as his PR claims it was and he deliberately did it in an attempt to show bipartisan spirit,
b) a mistake his PR is trying to spin as deliberate because the alternative is admitting he's not sharp enough to read bold fonts on a hat, or understand their significance anymore,
c) a deliberate fuck you to Harris. Of course he's not going to officially endorse Trump or anything that dramatic but "accidentally" putting a very embarassing picture like that in the news is not exactly going to help her. Has he even ever been photographed wearing Harris campaign merch?
That was really funny. I assume it wasn't a), because that's crazy talk, but I think either b) or c) is possible. It's not much of a grenade, but it's at least a small firecracker.

It would be pretty funny if he got more write-ins than Kamala.
States don't count all write-ins, sadly.
