Tell us more ancient one, your heroic tale of "giving up against the endless weight of capitalism" is fascinating.

I'm sorry just as a matter of policy I'm going to have to downvote you for saying you like java. Nothing personal.

I think some things that were novel when java came out are such old hat at this point the 1990s benefits just aren't benefits anymore. Run anywhere? I'm in a html app right now. As is my IDE and my chat app. Strong interfaces and sane types are only in comparison to the bizarroland of c++ which visibly always seems to basically be word vomit. JIT compilation is in python which is both easier to use and has way better tooling and libraries...making python today run in the "fast enough" category that java was kinda in. I've literally never seen a usable java UI tho.

They could have literally never campaigned on anything and voting for them against trump would still be the only moral choice, so your attempts to blame them for the moral failings of the 10m who sat this one out....totally insane.

You seem like a "don't blame me I voted for Nader" type of oblivious.

Why? That category of people objectively exists and that category of people objectively chose this and that category of people objectively made an illogical decision against their own interests. Nowhere in the meme is it saying "all voters are in this category", it's simply indicating this category of voter exists which is objectively true.

Coursera and edx provide a full education on a wide array of topics, and a lot of the liberal arts and sciences are considered so valueless that there's free information everywhere.

As for public schools, some are indeed garbage but a lot are fine. Unfortunate luck of the draw just like everything else.

Learning is more about wanting to learn.

So she attempted to make her campaign more palatable to the never trump wing of republicans by accepting that she wouldn't have the political capital to do medicare for all? No politician in this country is getting medicare for all in the near future (no votes + supreme court will take down). No politician is banning fracking (they could but it would go to supreme court and be shut down). Border is one of those areas I'll agree with, there's more room to spare on that topic.

I think it's clear they are sensationalizing it due to the unique nature of the energy used, which is external potential energy that needed to get down the hill whether it's a gas or electric truck.

Ah the parliamentary system. The folks who want a king can have him, everyone else can get someone competent actually running the show.

But nothing you said there was actually specific or precise. Just a vibe, and a vibe held by...well, all politicians. So I'm asking the same question as OP...what precisely is different about her vs other politicians that makes her phony to you?

To provide a concrete example of what im looking for I'd say: "over half the US population agrees so it's really not my problem it's hers, and if you choose to defend her, yours" literally shouts insecurities. I don't know if that's real, but if I were asked what's my vibe check on what you've said so far, that's it. So what I'm looking for is a similar example or set of examples from Harris which demonstrates the vibe you experience.
