Shit like this is what makes it clear Democrats don’t actually give a shit about winning. If they wanted to win they’d keep the Republican Party as unhinged as possible so they could continue to run on “it puts the neoliberalism on its skin or it gets the fascism again.” Having a “normal” Republican Party would absolutely nuke their chances of winning as they’ve erased any daylight between themselves and the Liz Cheneys of the GOP.

The first hospital diagnosed her with strep throat without investigating her sharp abdominal cramps. At the second, she screened positive for sepsis, a life-threatening and fast-moving reaction to an infection, medical records show. But doctors said her six-month fetus had a heartbeat and that Crain was fine to leave.

There is this cycle of hedonistic treatbros whiplashing between “the Dems are nanny state buzzkills that want to take away our good times that’s why we’re voting Republican” and “oh shit republicans are all puritanical weirdos that want to ban cleavage on television” so yeah this makes sense.

I don’t think that’s the whole story though. The migrant “crisis” is animating a lot of voters despite migrants having little impact on the vast majority of people‘s lives. People tend to assign outsized risk to the unknown/unfamiliar and vice versa. Nothing is more comfortingly familiar to the typical Amerikkkan than their oversized house kept at 65 in the summer and 75 in the winter with three giant SUV’s in the driveway that they drive everywhere on clogged stroads.

Well that’ll cost her 13 freedom points on the Burgerite-Eagleland Institute’s liberty scale.

To guarantee the sale to Santander, the Simonsen and Cochrane families, the owners of Banco Noroeste, paid the $242 million bill themselves. However, Banco Noroeste collapsed in 2001.

A few months back I was at a Native American museum, and one exhibit had this quote from a English settler’s journal from the 16th or 17th century that basically said “we raided a native village, stole their supplies, burned their buildings, killed some of them, all of which aren’t as bad as what they would do to us.” Just thought “shit hasn’t changed.”

I think this is the order of operations:

Conservatives believe bizarro conspiracy theories because they need to assign the ills of society to anyone other than the responsible ruling class.

Liberals point to this and say “See, look at this foolishness, if you don’t want to end up a rube like this, you need to trust The NY Times and WaPo and CNN, etc.”

Thus, leftists that are otherwise critical of capitalism but still want to be seen as being part of reasonable society, develop a bias of taking those sources at face value least they get branded with the scarlet F of fake news.

Both Google and OpenAI have cut deals with Reddit to train their AI models on its posts.

Training AI to be even more racist and misogynistic, cool.

If history is any guide, at best they’ll protest the procedure of Trump’s support of the genocide. Trump won’t follow some meaningless rubber stamping process of the shipping of arms to Israel and then the libs will say “this is wrong we’re against this” but not because of the genocide but because Trump didn’t follow the by-laws of supporting a genocide.
