The media doesn't get clicks when the race isn't close. So they do everything they can to portray it as close.

To be fair, his campaign was already on the rocks at that point. It wasn't the scream alone that did him in.

What "strategy?" That's what the system is. It's a two-party system, inherently.

You have two candidates to pick from. You either pick the candidate who is closer to your ideals or you pick the candidate that's farther away from your ideals. If you don't vote or you vote for a "third party" candidate then you're just throwing your choice away and abdicating it to those who do vote for one of those two options.

If you want it to be different from that then the fundamental voting system itself needs to be changed. The current one that America operates under inevitably becomes two-party. CPG Grey did a video a few years ago explaining why this is so.

So once the perfect moment has passed, might as well never try to catch up.

So more people should have voted Democrat, despite misgivings, to avoid a worse outcome that comes from not voting Democrat.

It's a two-party system, those are your choices.

With work-from-home as a non-negotiable condition.

Everything you make is already copyrighted by default. Copyright is limited in what it lets you do, however. AI training likely isn't restricted by it.

Frankly, all of that should have been expected.

IIRC there was originally a plan to have a big library or museum down there when the monument got built, but that got scrapped so they were left with an excessive basement space.

Or, you know, aliens.

Ah. The problem is that you told me "But what you are saying is not true" and then basically agreed with what I'd said.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

But what you are saying is not true, bacause it was tested in Sweden.

I'm saying that the voters and the politicians they vote for are not one big hive mind. You're saying that they are one big hive mind? And your example is that voters didn't switch their support when their parties changed the positions? I'm not sure you've interpreted what I said correctly.
