Where in the hell have you been for the last thirty years? The Democrats are a centrist party. If anything they’re a center right party because of people spouting bullshit like you instead of pulling the party left. If every whiny liberal and leftist actually fucking voted in primaries for progressives we’d have a populist progressive Democrat party. But you’d rather bitch on the internet about your bullshit principles that got trump elected.

Isn’t that usually inverted though? Where the 1 is generally the one with extreme views and the 20 are deliberately picked to be inarticulate and oafish, thus promoting the extreme view? Admittedly it’s likely impossible to find a MAGAt that isn’t inarticulate and oafish.

Congratulations, you are why Trump was elected. It’s your fucking obligation as a citizen to be informed and engaged in our process. Is the two party system bullshit? Yes. But the way it’s set up if you abstain or vote third party that’s effectively a vote for a republican, and you are very nearly as responsible as them. You want a more progressive dnc? Register and fucking primary incumbent establishment dems with progressives. Drag the party left or own the fucking responsibility of being a part of the problem.

People with your attitude for the last thirty years enfeebled the Democrats. It is always the people’s fault. Anything else is cope.

I blame my lazy and stupid countrymen failing an open book test. You do not need to be coerced to vote against fascism; that’s a lazy stupid take that absolves the citizens of their duty and obligation to be informed and engaged in the civic process, including voting and understanding how our system actually works in practice as well as theory.

If you didn’t vote or voted third party you are very nearly as responsible as the trump voters. It is not the Democratic party’s responsibility to motivate you to save yourself from an existential threat. Blaming them knowing it’s coming makes you stupid and complicit.

You raise really good points, but I’d want to add that abstract thought and the general ability to “think around corners” are at least as important (if not more so the higher you go) as experience insofar as problem solving and “smarts” go.

There’s no way you’re referring to the stock market? Where in the world is this free market actually practiced?

I mean younger brains do have more neuroplasticity and other factors, hence it’s easier for children to learn more languages than adults. I assume this applies to more than just language.

Oh wow, they made it even more fuckin stupid by adding different functionality for long press vs short press.

I genuinely believe that this right here is a significant motivator for the aggressive pushing of AI in every fuckin sector. It’s ridiculous though, they’ve already proven they don’t even need plausible deniability, they just need fox news to say a thing and they’ll all believe it without question. Like video of Trump raping or even killing children would not have any effect on his base. They did not need the existence of AI to refuse to believe what they themselves have seen; they do it every day.

Fucking methane generators poisoning kids in Tennessee. Every time you use grok you give a poor child in Memphis COPD. Guess the demographic if the neighborhood they built their death center in too.

The “free market” doesn’t exist and has never existed.

This ignores that these data centers, in their short time existing, have already had measurable impacts on global climate change and emissions.

That she lost to trump says more about the voter than the party. That’s why I always come back to this is who Americans largely are, and we deserve it. Who would have been a better candidate? If you say Bernie I know you’re not a serious person because he lost to Hillary. And this is all ignoring the election fraud that may be entirely responsible for Kamala losing. The numbers of purged voters and winning margins sure line up awfully conveniently. But I digress.

And it’s arguably the best ending for the island and its inhabitants considering what your allies do.

So Google and Amazon are spying for Israel.

Is she literally giving him a check in that picture? Is this evidence of a bribe?

So the shortcut that’s always been for screenshots is now for power, but only for powering it down. That makes total logical sense and isn’t inane at all.

You don’t think replacing the single most universal function of an electronic device with their ad delivering spyware is anti-consumer? Fuck bud, what would you consider anti-consumer?

But Kamala was a good choice. Not necessarily for progressives, but for actually fighting back against the republicans. The blame for Trump’s election goes to trump voters for being stupid and malicious enough to fall for it, and then to spoilers and non voters for not having the basic understanding of how our federal system functions. This is ignoring the literal nazi propaganda the republican owned media and party have been passing for forty years. The blame belongs with trump voters and non-voters. Maybe a primary would have energized the non-voters, but it sure fucking didn’t in 16, so why would they try to spoil their own best shot? Most of the people that bitch about Dems fucking up don’t vote in Dem primaries in the first place so they’re the ones at fault. I guess it’s all academic at this point since there’s no going back. But we’re getting what we deserve because there’s maybe only twenty percent of Americans like us that actually care and are horrified at what’s happening. The majority of Americans either want this or are totally ok with this or everyone wouldn’t be pretending future elections will matter.
