my ideal response to AI and crypto is a lot closer to an air strike than a bailout

"Moderate" or "centrist" are vague, ambiguous terms.
They can cover any number of beliefs but are typically used by people who either don't care enough to pay attention or those who are deliberately trying to mask their beliefs behind what appears to be a reasonable position.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

there is nothing that makes me stop listening to someone faster than using snarky nicknames when referring to dangerous oligarchs. you're not funny or smart for calling him "elongated muskrat". please stop.
I can’t do the nicknames. It’s so cringey. I don’t know how people can convince themselves that the richest most powerful people in the world would be hurt in the slightest by being called Elmo or Drumpf. They’re people who can literally murder countries.
