Maybe being roughly screwed for 4 years is better than being gently screwed for 12+ years by a party that argues in court that it doesn’t have to follow any voting rules because it is a private corporation.

The DNC unilaterally presented Harris who received 20% less votes than Biden in 2020. Non-voters have sent a clear message that it is the DNCs fault.

Section 1466A of Title 18, United States Code, makes it illegal for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to transfer or distribute visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and are deemed obscene.

Which seems fine in spirit, but we don’t really want the letter of the law making something like this

illegal

Academic research is the standard that should be aimed for. References and no opinions.

Yes, it is possible to fact check with integrity. Not like this example.

Opinions should not enter into fact checking as opinions are not fact.

In this case the job of these people is clearly to perform damage limitation for the WEF

This is why fact checks are bullshit. Reuters admits that

a WEF social media video from 2016 that stated eight predictions about the world in 2030, including: “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy. What you want you’ll rent, and it’ll be delivered by drone.”

Now to make the statement false they bring in a strawman “Stated goal” condition and prove that particular part to be false, then claim that makes the whole thing false.

Such bullshit.

What I was fishing for. Thanks.

I vote John von Neumann for tech savant.

Yes, there are a lot of better things we could be spending the enormous military budget on.

I chose NASA because it’s the closest to military spending while still being peaceful.

The military budget is 36x bigger than NASA.

Mars could be the 51st state if the US were not so war hungry.

The cap of Bic pens!

Chatgpt is decidedly unerotic in its responses.

Not voting at all is just laziness.

Spoiled ballots may have some long term influence. But they have no power over the election being boycotted.

Except if you plant flowers. Bulbs taste awful.

Certainly not. But choosing to punish at this precise opportunity would be like shooting your own feet.

Punish at the local level. Punish by supporting voting reform. Etc.

You have to think of the lack of primary as a sunk cost. The decision in front of you is independent of all previous decisions.

Fiddy.

Not too expensive.

And now … the Larch

IMHO, RFK jr is pro environment and anti big phama. He changes his policies based on fashion more than money. He is populist, not corporatist.

Both the Republican and Democrat parties are corporatist because of lobbying. Nothing to do with Trump. If we voted Hillary and Kamala then the same court outcome would occur.
