This, only with the added observation that any theory that betting markets have any predictive value is really shot to hell when the owners of those markets are actively running ads geared at getting people to place bad bets on likely to lose candidates.

Every bureaucrat involved in this sort of thing needs to either be jailed or guillotined (or both)

Screenshot of the US Department of Agriculture website for Food & Nutrition Services. An orange warning box at the top of the page reads "Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance."

The irony behind all of the Democratic blaming of trans people for their losses is the simple fact that we would be in a third Trump term right now, not a second, without trans people pushing Biden over the finish line in 2020.

Trans News Network @transnews.network · 13h

In 2020, the margin of the three swing states that allowed Biden to defeat Trump was smaller than the number of trans people in each of those states.

That doesn't even include the countless cis queer allies and family members voting in favor of trans people.

So no, you can't abandon trans people.

Leaving a review for a banned book does more than share your opinion; it helps protect the freedom to read.

Every thoughtful review helps ensure that silenced voices are still heard. So if you loved (or even just read) a banned book, leave a review today.

"oh but Ernest, I don't like the guy, but if he's nominated i'll vote for him because Trump is so bad"

you've been doing this strategy for years and nothing has ever gotten better. if the dems know they have your vote regardless of who they nominate there's ZERO incentive for them to get better!

And expect it to only get worse from here. Alphabet/Google/etc. have thrown their full support behind the regime and have been not just actively unbanning channels that literally engaged in terrorism, but *promoting* them.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Always thought it was sad that Ayn Rand—one of the most successful authors of children's fantasy books of all time—had little enough saved in the bank in her old age that she had to rely on public assistance until her death, but I'm glad it was there for her.

It's not just bad, it's offensively bad. Even when you give it the easiest possible task.

"Rephrase this sentence to be less offensive." And somehow, some way, the stochastic parrot that should be able to do it, completely loses the entire context and meaning.
