Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.
They as a candidate don’t, the campaign as a whole is important to support though. Particularly if it can be shown that the funds come from small doners it shows popular support. I would rather see a crowd funded candidate with millions of $5 donations than a handful of super-pacs funneling dark money into it. It’s exactly the kind of problem that citizens United caused that we need to revert to show the popular will of the people.
Then when the 5th largest economy in the world decides they don’t feel like playing with you anymore you get to find out what a budget deficit really means.
He knows just how badly she was able to pull his strings and play him like a puppet. Time and time again. The bit with poking at his rallys was priceless to see.
One of the few places it could be posted on Lemmy without being down voted to the abyss, but only because it can’t be.
Zuckerberg wrote that the censored content included humor and satire, and that administration officials “expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.”
It does, but given what it is they’re griping about being censored you can bet it was a lot of anti-vax/covid is a joke stuff. People trying to promote vaccination don’t tend to make jokes about it.
Anything specific to say they forced others not to run? The whole bit of others dropping out and endorsing happens regularly. Happened on the R side too. Bernie didn’t get nominated because not enough people showed up to vote at the end of the day. Having dedicated fans and lots of youth energy means nothing unless the vote count says what you want when it’s over.
I get the potential gripe, but realistically it’s hard to call it undemocratic even as it stands. People voted for an incumbent (essentially unopposed) ticket of Biden/Harris. Had Biden simply dropped dead this would have been the very same result. We just skipped the whole death part and moved on to the natural line of succession. Besides, how many times have we had a VP become pres or at least the candidate in the past few decades? Better than half since the 70s if I count correctly.
If those people can look at Trump’s record and be fine with it, I don’t suspect the ethics of one’s work as a DA are going to be the deciding factor.
I’m not sure why there’s the need to rebrand confidence to the term dominance…
These are two quite distinct things. The former presents a self-assured certainty in your position, the latter is more aimed at a willingness to call out another on the wrongness of theirs. It’s a tough role to play when the positions of any given constituent and legislator are so entrenched, but necessary. It’s a bit like the comics of the type where you have one side saying ‘kill all X’ and the other saying ‘protect X lives’ and it’s somehow a compromise to only kill a few X…
And nobody cares that Trump is just a couple years younger… plus you know all the autocratic/dictator tendencies thing.
How would the DNC take advantage of the most racist parts of the R party abstaining over the race of the wife of their VP? They’re not going to condone bigotry and even if they where going to their own VP is Kamela…

That video almost makes me want to learn German(?) just to figure what the heck is going on with all the hotdog jars.
Have to say that was a damn refreshing change from the vacant look and feel in the debate. May be far from perfect but I take that over the raving lunatic with an R by them any day.

I’ve used this kind of setup, not the cleanest and doesn’t actually move/remove the rars but let’s a media player import the contents directly from inside them. Doesn’t make any notable impact on performance that I’ve seen.
And with a major portion of US military aid grants coming with the condition that the purchased equipment come from US contractors you can argue which funding bucket it came from, but in all practicality Israel bought US systems with aid money granted from the US and then where willing to give the old systems they intended to decommission to someone the US is aiming to support.
It really is just US aid to Ukraine with an Israeli sticker on it in that sense.
Israel wants to get some gold star for agreeing to send systems the US provided to Ukraine now? What kind of PR lunacy is going on here.
Plugging a modem into the POTS made them smart I say.
Are you looking to complete a bingo card for billionaire dumbassery?
The whole concept of corporations as distinct eternal entities could use a reworking. From copyright, to liability, to corporate ‘speech’, it all shields to interests of the well heeled from responsibility for their actions. Some level of separation from an individual is needed or no small business would ever date take the risk of starting up, but at a certain point somebody needs to own the actions of it. How we define that is beyond me, but for now I’d take removing non-breathing entities from the voting pool and political funding as a start.
