California is a safe D for president. Electoral college system means that all that matters is how individual states vote independently. Most states give all of their electoral college “points” to the winner of the state. California is one of those states. It is the Red states with republican governors and congresses that gerrymander, voter purge, and voter suppress their “blue Urban” areas into having 4 hour voting wait lines.

If California was 65 Dem, 5 third party, GOP 30, it’s still a signal against GOP compared to 70 30 split. It is more of a signal for Dems to not keep ratcheting to the right.

I agree to not vote 3rd party in PA or MI.

AIPAC is tiny compared to some of the Super PACs out there.

They all need to be AIPAC allies if they want influence. Israel usually gets little funding compared to the theft provided to other lobbyists. Oil industry spoke out very strongly against university protests against genocide, for example. Vowing to never hire any graduates from those schools. AIPAC funded record primary spending against democrats who “supported a ceasefire”. A politician can love their other lobbyists/interest groups as long as they love Israel too.

Cabinet appointments are subject to AIPAC veto. Then have influence on hires. Israel replaced Netanyahu as PM for about a week. New guy said he didn’t understand need to fund/support Ukraine… Gone.

US and EU have sanctioned Venezuela

EU and South American states are vassal colonies, subject to US dictates on minor things. backing up US propaganda never validates it.

It completely depends what state you are voting in. Where polling shows a certain winner, 3rd party can provide a signal for how broken the system is, and might bring a 5% threshhold durable gain for the 3rd party.

One of Trump’s impeachment was based on a weapons gift for Ukraine, that eventually went through. Merkel/Zelensky faked their anti-nazi reforms of Minsk accords in order to give time for Ukraine to get armed in order to provoke the current war. Ukraine is absolutely a puppet insurgency to diminish Russia as part of US’s pure imperialism. It is the saddest most extreme level of disinformation in history that anyone has an opposite impression of reality.

CIA, and to an extent State/Defense departments have an inertia of Zionist/neocon/(nazi = anti-communist) appointments, and career officials that must report to them. AIPAC is not only the swing funder of politicians, it determines who gets appointed and congressional approval for the appointments.

UBI is needed for power redistribution more than wealth redistribution. Sure, one good reason is the employment displacement from robotics/ai. But a robot tax is far inferior to general income taxes. Beyond your examples, pipes and wires into your home are automation. Machines with human operators are automation as well.

Even if you were to only tax the robot users, what about those who get rich from building yachts for the robot users?

China has a big lead in robotics because nearly all manufacturing is done there. That is there massive competitive advantage in EVs as an example. As a national competitiveness, and consumer prices, measure, incentivizing people to go collect their water from a nearby river, and heating wood from nearby trees, and otherwise committing to full employment through less automated processes, is a massive decline in standard of living.

UBI does let you create your own job. Sales and design will always be needed, even if design is inputs into an AI prompt. Without the disempowerment of warmongering rulership, AI will serve the disinformation and murder needs of that rulership. UBI/freedom dividends funded by taxes on extreme income is the path to make the winners pay for human sustainability instead of human extermination.

They missed demoing it working with hockey stick guy harassing it.

I think the skills are pretty cool though.

First, the capitol/Reichstagg will be set on fire, and radical left democrat enemies within will have to be exterminated from power. Then everything else will happen.

There was a plank computer post here last couple of days. It showed an atomic sized computer performing one crack attempt every 10^-44 seconds would take a 95 character alphabet 100 years to crack a 121 character password.

Monkeys take up 1m^3. 10^105 bigger than a plank length. Typing 120wpm is 10^43 slower. Ignoring punctuation and spaces and capitalization, a 26 character alphabet allows for about 52 more characters than a 95 character alphabet.

Bottom line, monkeys can’t come anywhere close to being able to crack a 100 character password from a 26 character alphabet.

Also, the entire coup in Ukraine is funding an insurgency against Russia. Venezuela’s narco gang paid protestors both for Guaido and this year’s opposition is insurgency funding. ISIS-K are US allies, FFS. takes a lot of money.

Absolutely this is a deep state US empire evil, where Blinken is no better than Bolton on giving the propaganda in support of evil. There has been zero lifting of sanctions or rapprochement to Venezuela under Biden. Talks meant to lower oil prices were derailed by CIA/deep state/GOP who want high oil prices.

Temporarily denying Venezuelan soldiers from receiving their paychecks was part of the administration’s goal to “exacerbate, or just further reveal, the ineptitudes of the regime,”

Article is full of brazen interference operations “in the name of democracy”.

US/Blinken/Biden was also behind a laughable coup attempt in this year’s elections. US/Opposition bribed narco-gangs ahead of election to protest their loss. An operation in Georgia this week is similar interference.

XNOR is the opposite so it’s “must have both”

so AND. Always AND.

What is xnor and when did that become a thing?

Also the production capacity of solar wafer producers is far higher energy than global oil reserves.

They are also growing faster

oil can be most easily transported, with a single large vessel able to carry roughly 1 700 GWh

The 2gw of solar, installed in an area with just 1200 solar hours per year (optimal areas have 2000 hours), will produce 2400 gwh/year, and 60gwh over lifetime. About 35 oil tankers equivalent.

or white knight. In original, white had chance for mate on at least the previous 3 moves.

Kissinger: Being an enemy of US is dangerous. Being a friend of US is lethal. US failed a coup in Venezuela earlier this year, and were angry about the setup and results in Georgia this week. But forcing countries into aligning with US in future wars is not good for humanity or those countries.

This is yet another trick to make us look at penis worms :P

America is ruled on Israel first politics. Media is Zionist. Politicians who just mention “ceasefire is good” got record primary funding against them, even if those that lost never made Israel an issue against them. The rest of American oligarchy influencing politics sides with Israel instead of fighting with them, because usually Israel doesn’t take much of the budget. Israel becomes the kingmaker. Trump is favoured by Netanyahu maximalists, but all politicians take a loyalty oath to Israel/AIPAC.

Ranked choice voting

This is your only recommendation that gives alternate parties a chance. It would need a campaign focus that Israel first rule/money of the Republicrats disqualifies them. Media would need to be nationalized, other “lobbyists for evil” would also need threats to be nationalized. UBI/Freedom dividends is more important than democracy, because it redistributes power to the people instead of hoping for a hero to fix everything.

We can’t escape genocide because we can’t escape money in politics.
