Doubtful.

This is just a way for SpaceX to try further integrate itself into the spheres of government and public funding, and thus, make it easier to justify government bailouts.

A patently absurd comment when Republicans ran on affordability in 2024 and there was a red wave. And then Zohran ran on affordability in 2025 and demolished the centrists.

And affordability = socialism to Democratic partisans.

You should be posting this in ‘confidently incorrect’.

Totally a logical equivalent. 🤟😎

They don’t make 'em like they used to.

There are no solutions now, only collapse, and history demonstrates that it will. Mamdani’s election will do some limited good for sure, and that’s great, but the establishment will learn from that loss and determine how to prevent it in the future, just like they did after Ross Perot got so close to the presidency.

The only power you or I have is local, and I’d advise you to be involved locally as a voter and if you have the time and money, to run yourself. (And, generally, to just do good things in your neighborhood like picking up trash or handing out sandwiches to homeless people.)

The only exceptions to that are being a billionaire or being willing to go full Player 2 like a certain CEO-hating Italian.

Primarying might work on the local level, but it won’t work for any national office, because Democrats do not have to play by any rules or honor the result. If they did, we’d have just witnessed the end of a second Sanders presidency, we’d all be making a living wage, and cost of living would actually be affordable.

I do love your ‘complaining’ comment though, as if I’m the problem.

True, but it’s okay.

All true. It’s an absolutely shit system for 99% of Americans, and it always will be, because this country doesn’t exist for the 99% and never has.

The Biden years were the absolute best years in living memory for lowskilled labour opportunity and wages.

LOL, taking a bit of liberty with the words ‘living memory’, and further, you’re wrong. It’s why Harris eventually had to turn to gaslighting us on affordability and the economy, because all of the facts and figures seem important if you’re not someone who shops for yourself, minds your own children, or has to actually manage your own bills.

You hated it because it made doordash cost more and you interpreted help wanted signs in storefronts as high unemployment.

No, I hate it because, under Biden, it became a thing that the billionaires weren’t satisfied with housing, education, health care, and child care becoming cost-prohibitive. Now, food is too, and the Biden/Harris campaign just ignored it.

But since you mention DoorDash, I will admit to being a little angry that my eighty year-old parents have to work for DoorDash or face the reality of homelessness in America. Bummer that I can’t have a president who cares about people being able to afford groceries no matter who I vote for.

Yep, we’ve thwarted them for now, in a few exceptional instances.

But a few examples don’t matter in the long run. Look at what happened after Ross Perot. They’re already figuring out how to strengthen their hold on our institutions so these few scattered examples aren’t repeatable.

Yup, they followed up with a Super Bowl ad to that effect, and the negative response was so strong that Ring/Amazon immediately walked it back.

imperfect candidate

I have to correct this: imperfect candidate genocider who also outright ignored that you’re being robbed of your labor and you are no longer paid enough to buy food. And for added fun, the candidate doesn’t have a working brain anymore.

Imperfect indeed. I wonder just how badly Democrats have to fail before you’d change your behavior.

Glad to see I’m not the only one. Have a great day. :)

It’s okay. Cognitive dissonance is a big thing with partisans of both team colors.

Democrats need to go back to combating hypercapitalism

Guessing that, looking at their own stock portfolios and exploding wealth, and now their ability to increase it exponentially by insider betting on prediction markets, that they don’t feel the urgent need to do much of anything about it beyond pretending to give a shit and then trying to curb stomp any real progressive who gains traction, like they did to Mamdani and Graham Platner.

The Dems rig their primaries, and not only that, they argued publicly in court that they have every right to do so.

Be that as it may, any real progressive movement is almost certainly unintentional, given the ruling parties’ record on everything that isn’t wholly symbolic.

Yeah. I called it last time a few months early.

Here’s one source: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/investigators-wrangled-video-nancy-guthries-google-nest-camera-backend-rcna258460

I’m 100% sure it was Kash’s call, and he was just too stupid to realize what the FBI was inadvertently admitting to by releasing this footage.

they want all of that “spying on their own people” power for themselves.

My assumption as well, after after the video release in the Guthrie case, we know objectively that every device with a microphone or camera and a wireless connection is spying on us and feeding the data to the US government without a warrant too.

I hate that I actually know what those words mean.
