Funny you say that when literally a few stories away on HN first page, you have this:

One party is pushing for ranked-choice voting, whereas the other party is against it and even banning it by law everywhere they can.

If you want more choice, vote Democratic.

I am sure Musk is very happy to have moved all his eggs to Texas.

A hack will always get more power than what its designers restrict it to.

Learned helplessness.

>Harris was pretty bad. See Harris had a more leftist voting record in Senate than Sanders

I hear all the time the corrupt DCCC/DNC sabotaged Bernie Sanders at every turn because big donors/uniparty yadaydayada...

If I could summarize the state of political debate in the USA it would be "incoherent".

It was irony. Of course they weren't flagged. As well as any post bashing Hillary Clinton or the DNC.

Remember when all the "Trump wins" thread were flagged?

Oh, yeah, we all remember when Trump won and all the HN threads on it were flagged /s

Go offer your services to these companies and see their answer.

The big IT firms syphon off all the talent with compensation these fridge and supermarket companies can't match. You won't find much talent there. Who is brilliant with computers and would want to work there?

But look also at how underfunded the basic blocks of IT are, how open-source is left to fend for itself. It is the whole culture of modern IT to hack things together and not make them well-defined and reliable.

Lies, dann lies and statistics.

I used to have a dig at social sciences but I regret it, because it works, people. It is behind proper marketing campaigns. It is behind the design of casinos and betting games. It is behind the algorithms in your social medias, the dark patterns and all the political manipulation.

This is proper science. You can experiment on people. You can test hypotheses and see which ones work and which don't. What you are laughing at are the social sciences produced by underfunded universities which have to obey ethical restrictions and painfully recruit a dozen campus dwellers to try something. But there are social science experiments that are privately funded to the tune of millions and are run without oversight to sell you more sugar or to keep the country stable/make it unstable. They don't publish papers for you to laugh at.

Go touch grass, Vance, you're drunk again.

That... Doesn't make any sense. Parties should not have any opinions before they get any influence? They have to be a blank slate before they get elected to a majority or a sizable minority?

Complete bad faith, or lack of basic logic.

"Hey, I shot at you but I missed this time, that means this gun is perfectly safe! Let's do it again"

Thanks to the inherent safety of nuclear? Or that the wind was, by chance, blowing to the sea when the worst happened?

And who cares about the 150 000 displaced people and the still existing exclusion zone?

Oh, yeah, because the Fukushima nuclear accident is still ongoing. The plant is still too dangerous to access and dismantle. Cooling water is still pumped into the reactors to keep them from melting down. That water is still contaminated by a mixture of radioelements and being released to the ocean after partial treatment. And this will go on for several decades still.

Already memory-holed Fukushima?

It wouldn't be any better, because if plants had been built decades ago, they wouldn't be able to be competitive anymore, would keep running a deficit, and would depress the economy and public finances like the white elephants they are, and take away means to transition to renewables.

>it has absolutely no influence over

You argument fails at the first sentence. The list of deep collaboration between Israel and the UK is too long for this post, and I won't list them, as you know it but are not arguing in good faith.

>The entire concept is tinged with antisemitism

But we can't say Zionism is tinged with racism? A blindingly obvious double standards.

The Zionists parties of Israel want to do ethnic cleansing in the Palestinians territories, and will purge the Arab Israeli the second they grow too big. Is there a gentle Zionism somewhere, that only wants Jews to emigrate to Israel to live their faith without all the war crimes? Maybe, but it is as relevant as the religious anti-Zionism that objects to it on religious grounds. Which is too say: not at all relevant.

Netanyahu is actively sliming all of the Arab Israeli as "cheaters" and "stealer".

The opposition could ally with those parties and end Netanyahu corruption and start the Oct 7 investigation that Netanyahu blocks but they don't.

Explain to us, in light of these very evident and present facts, how Zionism isn't racism. Give us an idea what is going to happen if the Arab citizens part of the Israeli population grows more than the current 20% in regards to "self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland".

Last opinion I saw is that it is well suited for LLM coding thanks to good error messages.

But copying Ghibli style is still allowed.

Software people protecting their "own" and fucking over everyone else.

You aren't a functional country.

It is also funny you have at people not being real adults when the vice president of the United States - himself very worried about election fraud - is saying people in Alaska may be confused between two Sullivans on the ballot because "people are busy. People have lives. People have jobs". Apparently he thinks a large proportion of Alaskans aren't functioning adults. Funny, that.

Yeah, "all" the Democrats will throw you under the bus. All of them. You aren't delusional at all. How much better you are under the Republicans!

You would like a third, fourth choice outside of Democrats and Republicans? Well, you would need a ranked-choice voting system for that. Remind me, who is pushing to extend that system of voting? And who is completely opposed to it and is even banning it wherever they can? Dare to answer?

> When they had all 3 branches of legislature, they couldn't get stuff passed

And why? Aren't you forgetting something?

Who is hurt most by a government shutdown? What does it solve? Would Democrats have gained something politcally or lost more support?

So you think you are better? What have you achieved? Your own purity, at the expense of your trans friends' rights? "Yeah, you are hounded now by crass Republicans who use every lever of power to make your life hell, but at least I didn't vote for a Democrat who may or may not have lied about his support! Praise me!"

Which they did, so your point is?

Yeah, so, it won't be put up for a vote before the midterms. So? Are you going to vote for the party that at least proposes to do something you want, or will you vote, or leave in place, the party that has proposed nothing or the opposite?

The "silent majority" doesn't exist if it doesn't vote. Democracy isn't Halloween, ghosts don't exist.

>At least try to legislate.

It is still "puffery" if they don't have the needed majority to pass it. I am sorry, I can see you try to find any excuse, purity test, "no true Scotsman" fallacy, to rationalize not voting for the Democrats, but you will have to if you want anything to happen.
