I also don’t get how Napster is there. It was P2P and shut down after a bunch of lawsuits. Are they calculating based on the payouts?

Yup, just read an article about that the other day. They even acknowledged it was going to keep happening to the person whose vehicle was mistakenly flagged because of a partial ID match, and just advised him to keep the car at home until they figured out how to fix it. In his case it wasn’t as big a deal since it was a rental, but can you imagine being told to not drive your own fucking car or the cops will be automatically called to come pull you over as a carjacker??

I’m pretty sure I could do better stoned. I mean, I’m typing with a much higher accuracy than 71%, and I’m stoned right now.

Only poll likely voters and you’ve already accepted you’re not getting new votes. You just finished saying how important it was to bring new people in, but you think a candidate’s popularity among the overall voting eligible population is irrelevant?

Is ‘this one poll found AOC is tied with Ossof’ supposed to convince me that he’s actually the better candidate? Am I supposed to be giving him extra credit for being a white man?

Well, good thing we’ve only poured a trillion and a half dollars into it and wrecked the economy.

Every single time. This is panic-hype because if the public being enthusiastic about AI to juice the stock isn’t happening, maybe being pants pissing terrified and pretending it’s skynet will

Yeah man, I psychically divined those details about violations that are in the article but not the headline. You got me.

‘Business broke a code so the state government must be completely innocent’ is a ridiculous way to be acting in this day and age in a state that went to Trump both times he won the presidency.

Do you think the town near where I lived didn’t also have justifications for what they did? Do you think they’re going to put in writing “you can’t have a liquor license because we don’t like your anti-Trump social media posts”? If they moved on these violations faster than other businesses with similar violations, that can be used as evidence of prejudice and targeting on the basis of political speech.

And instead of seeing that what people were responding to about Trump (the system is broken and something has to fucking change, even if they were stupid to believe he would do it in their favor), people decide that actually it’s because woman. Sexists exist, therefor a woman can never be elected. Even though half the fucking population is made up of women. The progressive party of America, everyone!

You keep asserting it, but have offered nothing to back it up. The only electable (as in, can legally be elected) Democrat more popular than AOC is Bernie Sanders E: forgot he’s not even a Democrat, so there isn’t one more popular than AOC. And Kamala Harris is tied with her (but dropping in popularity). https://yougov.com/en-us/ratings/politicians Jon Ossof is tied with Tulsi Gabbard for popularity, for what that tells you. Beshear is even less popular.

Why do you want to run less popular candidates?

It’s not legal to refuse business licenses on the basis of expression, I watched a town near where I grew up lose BIG over something similarly contentious lol.

Maybe figure out how to get current Democrats to show up before deciding you know how to get new blood, too. 🙄

The existence of a swing state in a nationwide election is, itself, the problem. The electoral college needs to go. We’ve already dismantled the anti-democratic vision of the founders so much (people other than land owning white men above the age of 21 vote now, obviously) that it doesn’t make sense to just leave some anti-democratic measures in.

Your local library probably has literacy initiatives you can get involved in, if this sort of thing calls to you!

The DSA interview on Fox News will hurt democratic socialists

A third of democrats identify as democratic socialists, start figuring out how to court them instead of republican voters or keep losing.

2-5: I don’t care about any of that shit, and basing the candidate on it is brain dead and condescending as fuck as far as speaking to the interests of the average person right now go. Oooh, loook, we got the tall white military man! You like the tall white military man with 2.5 children, yes? Don’t worry, he won’t make sure you get healthcare! Why aren’t more of you voting for him?!

Why would they admit their meal ticket is, if not a corpse, almost one?

Good luck to all the babies born in the low fat/high sugar 90s 🙏

You need more sunscreen. Or UPF clothing (the clothes version of SPF).

The fuck is even happening here? Is he trying to ambush a duck? Is this a real photo, given the cord phasing through the pool and weird grip?
