I think it would be better if the voters decided to gang up on Bernie and compromise with Biden over the others. Or the other candidates didn’t run at all. This way they just made a mockery of the election process.

Edit: seriously, think about it. Why are you running at all if you’re fine with some other centrist taking over eventually? Just to keep up with the illusion of choice? Stay out of the race and let people see they didn’t have a choice in the first place.

That’s literally just politics.

And see, that’s the problem people complain about. They are doing bad politics by ganging up to the candidate that’s gaining support from the people who are looking for someone different. Those people end up in Trump’s camp when the Ds can only offer more corporate elites.

Don’t forget the part where everyone dropping out endorsed Biden right after. Another funny case was Buttigieg, who was doing well after the first few primaries, even won some, but then just decided to drop out.

Do it in a school for the real authentic experience.

In hindsight, democrats had a horrible strategy letting Biden run the second time. Harris didn’t have much time to present a good platform that would have been her own - she was already the VP, so she couldn’t go directly against Biden, no one would have bought that.

I think Israel/Palestine gets too much attention. An average voter wanted to hear the candidate say they’ll fix immigration and their personal finances. Harris was not terribly vocal on either (although I believe she would have done just fine on both). What Harris did was mainly obtaining celebrity endorsements, while Trump got headlines with his (arguably crazy) policies that appealed to the simpletons.

Such a weird rule, but can’t disagree with the supreme court.

I typically listen to these after taking my morning LSD, and do get some psychoactive effects. Strangely the effects are completely different if I take amphetamines or light up the afternoon crack pipe before listening.

Seriously tho, I just started to listen to this for the first time ever, and it does work as a pretty effective and non-intrusive noise blocker. Easy to ignore.

Edit: never mind the second point, the surroundings just got quieter at the same time I started to listen.

I hope it will not be Florida of 2000 election all over again, but in a massive scale.

It’s insane, Gore won by several thousand votes, if not tens of thousands.

Is some make believe hurting a fragile right-wing ego again? I’ll play some sad tunes on my violin, it’s pretty small tho, hope it’s all right.

(seriously tho, I hope you’re trolling)

I don’t think fusion would be as useful a technology as it would have been a few decades ago. Now renewables (wind, solar, hydro) seem like more and more as the clean and cheap energy of the future. The biggest problem of storage is rapidly being solved with batteries springing up everywhere.

The real problem with fusion is that even if it worked, the plants would be very complex and expensive. It would be much cheaper and reliable to build solar, wind and batteries instead.

Having operational fusion reactors would be cool as hell, but it wouldn’t have that much impact on our lives in the end.
