turns out when you hire based on loyalty to the worst idea that has ever existed, you get a lot of people who are lazy self serving idiots on top of being ontologically evil

If you are looking at an existential crisis with your evidence being a 2030 apportionment forecast, you aren't understanding the impact of the fascist takeover in Jan 2025. Housing is important, but it is not the immediate existential crisis for the Democratic Party or American democracy.

No, literally no one has said you are supposed to welcome unrepentant Trump voters with open arms. What a weird idea to invent just to have something to argue against, as if there weren’t enough real things to be upset about.

Like any ideology, it is fundamentally about what is NOT true in the world as it exists mow that it wants to MAKE true in the future world.
White supremacists don’t believe whites are supreme now in the same way that Communists don't think the present economy is communist.

There is no need for “tourism industry” in that sentence.

The people are rising up. There is widespread protest. The people are showing up. The Democratic Senate “leadership” is failing to lead, or even follow, and are, in that way, protecting Trump.

Polls in 2025 for 2028 are meaningless. To the extent it is a sign of anything, its not a problem with the electorate, its the absence of any figure showing sufficiently widely-visible leadership since the election to coalesce support that didn't previously exist. But, mostly, it means nothing.

Why single out only veterans as class for special treatment out of the federal public servants fired without good cause?

To be fair, its not really surprising that people who follow someone who would ask that question, or who engage in a way which is likely to have them show up on the For You feed, or even who would reply rather than mute/block when seeing it, would react positively to it.

How is neural style transfer not exactly generative AI conditioned on content and style image pairs? Yes, it existed before the broad class was significant enough in the general consciousness to get a name, but I can't see any way in which it doesn't fit in the class.

Dems don't love Reagan, they love the tactic of appealing to persuadables they are convinced exist on the fringes of the GOP electoral coalition.

“i ❤️ how y'all just assume that i know you when you know just as little about me”
I didn't assume you knew anything about me, I pointed out that your pretense that you did with your comment about what you assumed my experience was was wrong, arrogant, ignorance.

Yeah, but when no one was talking about liberals/Tesla, it doesn't matter whether other people knew what you were pointing out, because it isn't relevant in any case.

2/2 the same ideological group in different contexts, I certainly have no experience of them being used interchangeably; good job again in making up more stuff to respond to instead of what other people actually have said.

1/ Yeah, as a left-leaning American with a mostly incrementalist praxis and a political science degree focussed on the pragmatics of American politics, who has pointed out that the overlapping diversity in the uses of “left” and “liberal” is because of divergence after their origins referring to

You also didn't mention liberals, so its really impressive that they needed to share their belief that US liberals aren’t left wing.
It'a like if you said something about airplanes, and they came in to tell you that Tesla Cybertrucks aren't airplanes, and Tesla doesn't even make airplanes.

2/2 private sector standing aside and watching people suffer despite the capacity to step in. Some state governments might be better inclined, but they lack capacity to borrow for operations the way the feds do, both legally and practically, and will be squeezed for revenue by the economic crisis.

1/ Yeah, we're not going to have a problem with aggregate food supplies or logistic capacity to distribute it if there was political will, what we will have is wild inflation, broad economic collapse, deliberate collapse of the already weak safety net, and a callous federal government and wealthy
