It’s more of a problem with the two party system. Fetterman still sides with dems on some issues, so it’s rational to keep him from drifting farther away.

Since 1979, they have been killing Americans. They have been killing their own people. They have been slaughtering people in the name of religion. It is time for that to end.

Sorry, which government were we talking about again?

No way. How many people have died for “national security” vs betting markets? Even as we speak…

Fuck national security.

They should just go after the politicians who have engineered this insanity. No one will be too upset.

It’s fascist vs antifascist now. The rest is distractions. There are young and old on both sides of this fight.

I can’t even imagine. MAGA was already losing their minds in 2016 with wild predictions that Obama would not leave office, despite there being no indication of it whatsoever.

Most apes are awesome. I can think of a few I wouldn’t miss.

C’mon, surely someone with access wants to leak that shit.

Well, you do have to keep in mind that the outcomes of those races are highly correlated with each other, so you can’t calculate the odds in a straightforward way. But the more of a wave election it is, the more the chances of a surprise flip.

I have absolutely zero faith that the US government will side with people’s safety over a new toy for the oligarchs. And these companies are openly saying their whole business model is urban transportation. So they will be lobbying to change those laws as soon as they can, and, as we’ve seen with self-driving cars, it will be difficult to stop them.

This is exactly what terrifies me though. Cars are already incredibly dangerous. Now make them 5x as fast and more difficult to control, and allow them to go anywhere and imagine the carnage.

I’d go one step further. The people shouldn’t need a reason to replace their representative. It should be possible at any time for any reason.

Schrödinger’s investigation? No we can’t release this as it’s part of an active investigation. No, we have no indictments or other activities to report, keep waiting.

It’s mostly marketing honestly. They’re both total ass.

Well center is a somewhat subjective designation. But I’m speaking with respect to the general distribution of politics in the US, which certainly skews right compared to some other contexts.

Sounds like you define center differently.

Based on some web searches, this seems to be a left-leaning outlet. Perhaps you had it confused with a different one?

It’s not meaningless. The more funding they get the more harm they can do. Keeping the funding level high instead of astronomical will mean fewer Americans will be subject to state-sanctioned violence.

But I do agree that those funds should be clawed back as soon as possible.

That said I expect them to capitulate like they always do. But we’ll see.

They’ve always got more money to spend.

Oligarchy and democracy are fundamentally incompatible.

All these boycotts I can’t join since I never paid for them in the first place 😢
