I have litmus test issues for anyone I vote for. If they don't pass, they don't get my vote. The criteria is pretty basic, too.

Civil rights of immigrants
Civil equality of minorities

I think what frustrates me the most is that if Trump steps down at the end of his term the 2028 GOP candidate will likely be James "JD Vance" Bowman w/ Erika on his arm. It's an easy win for the Dems, and it will be squandered on a Harris-Newsom ticket or something equally centrist and useless.
We all know just how you are supporting him, Erika..

Nvidia has tendrils into all those companies' expansion efforts that made no sense until now.
Imagine an economy & government that didn't allow this to keep happening over an over again.

They're offloading all the debt onto special purpose vehicles (SPV) that are legally distinct entities propped up by promises from meta for decades of demand in compute. The banks take all the risk, Nvidia gets the equity and revenue, Meta gets the stock bump without the downside.
"It seems like a marvel of financial engineering: Meta is building a $27 billion data center in Louisiana, financed with debt, and neither the data center nor the debt will be on its own balance sheet."

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?

Carville's piece tells me he was part of why Dems for decades would court progressives early, then as elections neared veer right under the idea that progressives had no where else to go.
That tactic is also part of why Biden lost; young people simply didn't vote rather than vote for genocide.
