  • Actually what would happen is dem support would crash even more because the GOP playbook works. AOC will be branded a socialist, a communist, ready to sell out, to take people’s property etc. Doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, the electorate will believe it. If the dems want to win they need to lose the haughtiness and a projecting an air of superiority that they know what’s right for people and appeal to blue collar workers again. i.e. messaging needs to change. That might make people more receptive to left wing / progressive views. They also need to read the GOP playbook and create some divisive issues for the right to deal with. But expecting people to accept/embrace/own socialism is a joke. It won’t happen. Think smart.




  • I haven’t used it much but the point was some far right Musk fanboi asserting Nazis were socialist when even Grok, ostensibly under the thumb of Musk, doesn’t pretend they are.

    That said I wouldn’t trust it as an AI and there are plenty of other free AIs to choose from if you want that kind of thing. Install ollama and you can even download and run a bunch offline.



  • I loved his whining a few weeks back that he hadn’t “physically harmed” anybody and the implication that all the haters were big meanies. Meanwhile his minions at his direction were slashing programs that were saving people’s lives through their existence - health, welfare, medical research, disease prevention, pollution & air quality, road safety, food aid etc.

    So did he straight up murder people? No, he did it indirectly. But he may as well have. Thousands and thousands of people will die because of him. But let’s all feel sorry for the billionaire douchebag who never cared about anyone else once in his entire life.





  • I was watching an interesting video by an ex-Tesla employee who basically confirmed what we all know - Musk is operationally incompetent and loves to showboat, firing people regardless of their value to the system, piling stress and additional work onto others. And does it even when there are process improvements that would yielded the same savings (or increase profits) and preserve jobs. That’s literally his own mode of operation - work people harder with the threat of firings.

    And now he does the same BS with the federal government. People will die because of this.

    Well NY can certainly sentence him, and he can potentially serve a custodial sentence. But I suspect that even if the judge handed him time in prison it wouldn’t be four years and would almost certainly be appealed or delayed to be mostly irrelevant. But I would dearly, dearly, DEARLY love to see this asshole go to prison and preferably never come out.


  • I am by inclination Green, but I live in Europe where the Greens have been through their scandals and emerged somewhat presentable. I don’t believe that is the case in the US, where the Greens and particularly Jill Stein are basically just useful idiots. They disrupt the candidates most aligned to their own cause. And in Stein’s case, she’s disrupts her own damned country.
