FYI: When good legislation is blocked "because" 1-2 House/Senate Dems oppose it, remember it's actually because EVERY REPUBLICAN *plus* 1-2 Dems oppose it.

REPUBLICANS HAVE AGENCY. They can do the right thing at any time they want to. Just because they never do doesn't mean we should ignore it.

I wasn’t snobby to kids. Just my same age peers. 🤣

And if there's one thing 2021-2025 taught us, it's that voters will NOT accept "We'll he's trying and being blocked by Republicans, so the solution is to elect more Democrats so he can pass this stuff" as an answer come midterms.

Voters simply are not erudite enough to parse this message.

Biden focused on the first approach, that was to fix the things the Trump admin broke in the first term, aka the economy.

But what he didn't expect was people to blame HIM for what Republican judges (or Republicans in Congress) did.

Republicans were REWARDED with power for wilfull sabotage.

Idk I just have a bad feeling about it all.

Also an odd coincidence. They used locations in the park when filming a season of True Detective.

And again, I’m not even in the “all LLMs and AI tools are inherently useless and evil” camp - but I do think we’re in the middle of an absolutely horrifically irresponsible and reckless mass roll-out of these tools that I believe will lead us to very dark places.

Can anything released at this point been seen as factual?

Yup

Oh, sorry see you say that in you next post. Anyways, kind of think I agree with H. Clinton on this one.

Fwiw in 2016 she wasn’t running for prez. She had a position in the DNC which she resigned from to support Bernie Sanders.

I had the same experience

Also, this was the same election where people voted "against inflation" by...electing the candidate with the most inflationary platform in quite some time.

The electorate is often quite dumb and dishonest with itself about its motivations.
