For sure! This wasn’t to say it’s impossible; only that it’s so much, much easier for a middle class person with savings, and a well paid spouse to run than anyone dependent on their salary.

I talked to one of the candidates for the city elections recently - also doesn’t help that you can’t be poor and run for office, it’s not like you can work full time and run at the same time. I wonder how much that skews representation.

It’s super interesting, I joined threads and mastodon, Bluesky feels different. I don’t know whether the posts I’m seeing are more engaging or the activity levels are higher - or just whether I’m sick of x - but it feels like a tipping point.

I do live in some hope that there is some combination of words or conversation that could convince those people.

Unfortunately, polemic doesn’t qualify - which is often all I have the patience for.

It’s almost as if defaming a bunch of innocent people with ridiculous lies has consequences!

I’m originally from the UK - home of places such as “shitterton”, “fingeringhoe” and “scratchy bottom”, so at best canadian place names can 27% of a cracked smile from me.

One of the key problems is that most political strategy in the left involves assuming people are broadly rational, have some semblance of intelligence, and are somewhat better than minimally informed.

All of these things appear inherently false premises.

All this living rent free in their heads MUST have some impact on the housing crisis. Surely.

You mean you’ll pretend I don’t exist and am a complete fake if the date doesn’t go the way you want?

- he didn’t say that
- he didn’t say that either (but the early 15 day restrictions did actually have a positive effect)
- it worked
- they worked

Yep.

He suggested injection of disinfectants - including bleach - could potentially be useful as a treatment for covid and should be looked into.

Exactly the same reason why millions drove without seatbelts before they were mandatory and are still alive.

There were just fewer of them alive than there would have been had they worn seatbelts

If you scroll up in the transcript, immediately before Trump talked about disinfectants - the undersecretary was talking about disinfectants - explicitly mentioning bleach.

So yes - in context Trump was referencing disinfectants including bleach and isopropyl alcohol.
