I can't believe "run popular candidates" is controversial.

I'm more talking about the people here acting indignant about that and accusing them of helping republicans.

Why is everyone here assumimg she'll win the primary? You got a crystal ball? 2028 is a long way away. A lot can happen in 3 years.

The primary hasn't happened yet, genius. Hell, the midterms haven't happened yet. I can't speak for everyone here, but for me if it comes down to Kamala vs. MAGA again, I'm renouncing my citizenship. I already moved overseas to protect my family, I'm willing to continue the process.

Emigrate. Work towards naturalization in the country I currently live.
At that point the future of the US resembles the bronze age collapse.

One thing I think that would have helped her a ton is taking 1 (one) principled stand. Just to let people know she has a soul. It didn't even have to be anything super controversial. Just, like, anything near and dear to her heart.

My guess, higher interest rates on loans/credit cards. That money gotta come from somewhere and it sure as hell isn't going to be the bank owners.

For me, the defining characteristic is 1) can I use it to access websites.
2) do I get the moble version by default.
If 1) yes and 2) no, it's a computer.

Which will totally happen when they can't get themselves together enough to do an impeach and remove.

At this point, why not try? What do we have to loose? What else is congress doing? Is Chuck Schumer writing more angry letters?

As poetic as that would be, bunkering a ship is a long and difficult process.
The reason why diesel is shocking is because of the massive power requirements of the rest of the ship. At least as of a few months ago, what they were designing was like running a computer with AA batteries.

37% of the US is 126 million people, which is roughly the popupation of France and Italy combined.

From a physics perspective, this makes a lot of sense. The main disadvantage of batteries over fuel is weight per energy unit. Cargo ships are rather famous for being able to carry heavy things.

Unless something has changed in the last few months, they're meant to be diesel ships, shockingly enough.

A step in the right direction, but don't forget about the centrist dems who will vote with republicans if they ask nicely.

I think you have the wrong ICE, friend. We're talking about Internal Combustion Engines.
Although I'm not fond of either tbh.

Which is interesting, because it seems like they forgot to make the loophole this time.
Well, or they just don't care about appearing to even pretend to follow the law anymore.

You have a point. The democratic trifecta was much stronger than the republican trifecta. We briefly had a supermajority. Yet passing the ACA was still like pulling teeth.
Do you have an example that isn't folksy swearing?
