Your parents took you to a swinger party?

Just keep the last top button unbuttoned, and hide it with the knot.

I never want to wear a tie, but it's not hard to keep it just loose enough where it's not outright uncomfortable.

I sure hope some dirty peasant doesn't figure out which specific types of queries cost OpenAI the most per request, and then create a script to repeatedly run those queries on free accounts.

That would be terrible.

Governors need to call up their national guard, and place them around their state's vulnerable election infrastructure, with orders to prevent illegal interference in their local elections.

ICE can probably outman and outgun any local police department, outside of major ones like NYPD or LAPD, but not the national guard.

Trump would be forced to bring in the actual military to steal the election by force. At that point, he either has the support for a coup, or he doesn't.

Best I can do is offer you a choice between a candidate who's a devout Zionist, but a Democrat, and a candidate who's actually anti-semitic, but is being blackmailed by Israel, so their policies are even more Zionist.

The top comment is calling this post left splitting, and implying that this type criticism is dangerous/nefarious.

And that's the comment I was responding to.

What are you talking about?

The Democrats ran the centrist (again), and vote blue no matter who was the mantra everywhere I looked.

The voters that didn't fail Kamala.

The voters didn't fail the Democratic party.

Kamla and the Democratic party failed the voters.

Vote blue no matter who?

I'm old enough to have seen that tried many times now, and look where we're at.

I think it's time for something different, and we can start by not championing centrists, or attacking/shaming people on the left who do criticize them.

To the Democratic party, big tent politics means right-wing politics, and if you don't know that by now, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Allowing criticism from the left and recognizing that American centrists are right-wingers by another name, no matter their party affiliation.

Because big tent politics and capitulating to centrist/right-wing Democrats has worked out so well for us.
