It was dumb just going along with Biden as the nominee, hubris and status quo thinking. Now the Democratic party needs to come up with something to energize the electorate. Scaring people with democracy being on the line, while completely true, isn't gonna do it. Hoping the attacks on reproductive rights will carry them over the finish line is a bad idea. Trying to bring Harris out now into the limelight isn't gonna work. People are tired and struggling. The youth feel betrayed and themselves are struggling. There is no energy coming from up on top. Dems have always sucked at messaging.

Anyone trying to spin this positively is delusional. This was a very, very damning performance by Biden. It doesn't matter what Trump said or didn't say. Dems are saying it was bad, donors are saying it, even onlookers from abroad.

Dems sticking with an octogenarian was dumb. It's like lessons never learned. They fight the progressive's to defend the status quo. Scaring people about democracy being on the line may not cut it, even though it's absolutely true. People are already tired and struggling. It helps to have some energy at the top of your ticket.

You can downvote, but we will all be wringing our hands for the next five months.

When a military brands itself "the most humane" military like the IDF has. That already should be a clue as to the marketing and propaganda they've built up for decades and question why the need for branding at all. Systemic abuses, systemic coverups and blank checks given.

Paging FTC, FTC. It's gotten near impossible to find honest reviews that aren't driven by affiliate links anywhere. So many news outlets hocking products outright, I stopped paying attention after nyt bought wirecutter.

Then there's shit like Forbes (from the article) writing lifestyle clickbait about pets and dogs all the while advertising pet insurance.

This thread is filled with too many chest beating men who typically make it about themselves, completely minimizing this young woman's life and the crushing of the women's rights movement in Iran.

Chest beating comparisons to American politics, or ranking police violence in the world, dehumanizing islamaphobic remarks, some by opportunistic supporters of Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people.

The video was made by the university as an explanation for the defense of free speech on campus some time ago.

It was delisted by the school because of the hypocrisy of the university cracking down on student protesters and their free speech.

This is just an example of the AI-shitshow to come, both in and out of politics. You don't even necessarily have to get away with it, disruptions alone will wreak havoc.

Less billionaires, corporations and hedge funds involved in higher education would actually be a turn for the better.

This is pretty foul, but in line with conservatives wanting to control education and retcon history. Who controls the past, controls the present. And who controls the present, controls the future...

Microsoft, an early example of enshittification. I read about the pay-to-play nickel and diming of security logs to cloud providers. Logs which would help identify intrusions. Theres just been so many examples of security failuers that highlight the company knows its embedded status within the US govt, and knows it can do less for more.

I run it in a docker container and it works great.

Clinton is one of the worst. The party went, can't beat 'em, might as well join em.

Clinton essentially fulfilled some of the great Republican dreams of deregulation. See Glass-Stegall how he joined hands with Republicans. Which you can then fast forward to the banking and financial crisis that hit the world and screwed economies and brought austerity programs worldwide.

Dare ya to read up on all the congressional stock trading from not just Repubs but very much Dems as well.

The party went fully corporate with Clinton.
