Let me guess, AOC and Bernie are divisive whenever they call for universal programs to be funded by taxing billionaires out of existence.

I lived through those times, this is different. The punishment for false hope is the lesson that things can always get worse.

We’re cooked because our leaders are pumping the AI bubble while crashing the rest of the economy. When that bubble pops those programmers are going to have to find a job in a nuclear sized crater of where the economy used to be.

Stop confusing young autistic vulnerable people.

I’m old and autistic and not confused by the fact trans women are women. Hope that helps.

After 2 weeks I think they would say something if they had something, and even then…

But those are for hire. Unlike American Democracy, the CCP can’t be bought.

Certainly would make hijacking other apps more easy if you could access the API.

I wonder if this guy is disliked by Americans as much they dislike that UHC CEO, or is it more?

They don’t have a problem with what is being done, just who are the ones doing it.

The reminds me of what Zizek said of the liberals: they are very cynical. “We need to do things we don’t believe are good, maybe even bad, but it works”

It’s in the best interest of the DNC to adopt policies and campaign approaches that have the best chance of winning.

The donors and the consultants making the bulk of the decisions disagree. The donors are motivated to shape policy, not win elections. The consultants are motivated to raise money, not win elections. They literally tell us they would rather loose than be disloyal to Biden by criticizing his legacy.

Did the Dems gain significant votes by offering Liz Cheney a seat at the table?

Having a big tent isn’t winning the election. They need to be offering seats at the table.

History starts when I say it does
