Yes

I was answering your first question.

Call it what you want. I’ve seen it so many times, I’d be shocked to be wrong at this point.

It’s called corporate strategy. Regulatory capture is a real, PERVASIVE thing. Come back to this comment section after you read even a paragraph of Chomsky.

I did it for your sake, clearly.

Do you think I’m not? It’s funny to hear partisan hacks. They don’t know how to defend themselves. They just default to calling someone a Trumper. I’m not a Trumper. Do you have any thing valid to say other than telling that I shouldn’t hold my elected officials (no matter their party) to their words and carefully vetting their alliances? Do you buy into identity politics so heavily that you refuse to research your demagogues? If so, grow up!

I’m not the one appearing in the comment section to excuse a congresswoman that was groomed in an American Idol style talent search and has shown all the signs of someone being primed for the highest office EXACTLY like Obama was.

She’ll bravely grandstand against Trump throughout his presidency. Then, she’ll be the next President. Just watch.

Shall we get the remindMebot in here to let time tell us who was right in 5 years?

😂

So glad you blocked me.

People need to stop engaging in so much conspiratorial thinking

If it barks like a neolib, excuses genocide like a neolib, breaks national labor strikes like a neolib, kisses Papa bear Pelosi’s ass like a neolib, it just might be a neolib.

The same genocide-excusing Sanders that has been the quintessential sheepdog for the DNC since he was cheated in 2016? Sanders literally sold his list of supporter info to the DNC after 2016. Ask me how I know.

AOC is going to Obama us so hard.

FPTP applies to ALL political offices in a country that uses it.

Using the presidency in this graphic would have been a very poor choice to display the difference between the two. Comparing 1 result with another result on a scale of 1 person would not have the pedagogical weight that the Congress graphic does.

FPTP should get FAR more attention as the culprit for this situation. Sure, the electoral college caused Kamala to lose (or whatever) but if we had a true democracy, there wouldn’t be only two possible parties to choose from.

It’s fine. I’m sure I contributed somewhat o the misreading of the tone too. Namaste, my friend.

Conal’s point is that no, in fact there are almost zero programmers that fully understand even the simplest Python code since it is a dynamically typed language.

Here’s where I heard it.

The right answer is to end the stranglehold. I live in a blue state, so being utterly unrepresented (and it not mattering much in the cogs of the machine) has been my default since 2016.
Honestly, my opinion of this country since our two party system installed Trump for the first time BECAUSE the Democrats flat out told us that they refuse to represent labor has been that of a sinking ship.

Bernie had more grassroots support than any candidate in my lifetime and was flat out cheated out of the nomination. Once they legally defended themselves against accusations of election fraud by saying they don’t need to be fair, I have FULLY checked out. And I tend to have a cynical laugh at anyone who hasn’t…

I continue, election cycle after election cycle trying to convince people that we are in a sham democracy and people laugh at me and ridicule me and block me and tell me how wrong I am while I watch Kamala do her best impression of Bush Sr. circa 1981 and Trump go off the Ted Nugent deep end SOLELY BECAUSE OF the utterly corrupt crop of democrats that are the standard in this country. By the way, corporate America loves to recruit minority sleeper cells to try and wokewash away their corporatism

It’s not new.

I had downvoted you but nothing you said is untrue.

No party represents me. The Democratic Party pretends to (to the satisfaction of many, clearly) but it is honestly a joke if you compare us to the rest of the world.
