I'm well aware the plural of "anecdote" isn't "data", but literally no dev I know (senior or otherwise) thinks this. Give me a junior work with - most of them at least actually learn.

The number of "left" voters in this community that are doing their damnedest to get Trump elected never ceases to disturb me.

Your response to Trump threatening to burn everything to the ground is to ask anyone who isn't Trump what they're going to do to stop it? Not outrage at Trump?

Clarification: CAH is taking advantage of the bullshit laws that allow Elon to do this

Don't get me wrong - this is absolute bullshit, but no, that's a bad take.

The people that regulate this don't give a shit if the average person is prosecuted because it doesn't affect them. The only actual way the system gets changed is if the obscenely wealthy/regulators/lawmakers who profit over this go to jail. Not some schmuck with a 401(k).

You penalize folks that happen to have a single share of this in their retirement portfolio, all you're doing is screwing over the chunk of the populace that is already overworked and just trying to survive by shoving what they can into recommended retirement funds.

"What does success look like for third-party candidates?" - non-existent until we get past FPTP. Why is this a headline?

Terrible take - and it bothers me how many upvotes this has.

The ~35% blue voters in red states does not "deserve" to have their rights trampled. Nor do voters in blue states "deserve" having their rights crushed because land gets more votes.

What's wrong with Beshear? Dude has done absolute wonders here despite the innate opposition. He did everything he could during COVID to limit the spread, and he's vetoed anti-trans bills.

It's absolutely sealioning at the best.

An account that echoes right-wing talking points in most of their posts doesn't have room to complain about "narrative"

"I told them to vote for the candidate that would finish the job, sweetheart"

Absolutely agree.

The only people I've seen "spam the forums" are people whining about "DEI" and "woke" (source: like, 90% of the game discussion forums on Steam). Coincidentally, most of the ones that aren't "just asking questions" have exactly the same "they're forcing it on us" language, and you'll have to pardon me for immediately finding that language suspect.

No one is forcing a gender on you. No one is forcing a sexual orientation upon you. Only assholes that think conversion therapy is a valid thing think that's okay. Frankly, it's REALLY weird that you parse it that way, versus "these people exist, so of course they're in games". Are you bothered by characters that aren't the same race as you?

I do understand this is from Jacobin (if you ignore they republished it from some guy that hosts most of his stuff on substack).

I also understand that they unapologetically and uncritically used data from the fucking TRUMP ADMINISTRATION to "prove" their point.

Even if true, it requires so, soooo much independent verification before it could remotely be taken seriously, let alone used as a hit piece on the former admin. I'm not saying the Biden admin was great - but damn, does this smell suspicious.

Propaganda rag signs propaganda agreement. Not surprising.

Account that proudly claims to post negative Biden content posts negative Biden content. 🙄

Yep. Fuck everyone that bothered to vote against the fascists. Fuck everyone in a blue spot in red states that voted against the other idiots around them.

Or - maybe we realize that people should actually bother to vote even if they have to vote for a candidate that doesn't align 100% with their values.

You're actively advocating for citizens to be punished for decisions made by people in the ruling/investment class, while also advocating they commit violence that they will be jailed for. That's honestly kind of impressive.

Maybe try fining the people that pick the investments instead?

KY native. I'm honestly confused at what you want from him. His "start" is pretty bland for a politician, and he's absolutely exceeded expectations for a politician from here. I genuinely don't get the animosity.

Not, you know, the fund advisor that actually understands what she’s investing in.

No. You want to punish someone? Punish the people choosing the investments.
