Useful in NY where 3rd party cross endorsement is printed on the ballot. Limited impact elsewhere unless you’ve got a media micriphone

The reality of a first-past-the-post system is that it is far easier to co-opt an existing party than to launch a new one. The latter approach usually means handing power to the people you dislike the most

Some people really like it, but not that many. Per the article:

Dividing votes (40) by location (215) gives the Cheesecake Factory—the restaurant that received the most total votes—a bestness rate of 0.19, or the equivalent of 19 votes per 100 restaurants. Lambert’s Cafe earns a bestness rate of 2.66—the equivalent of 266 votes per 100 restaurants. While imperfect, this method at least does not penalize restaurants for failing to be national chains—though, for the purposes of the poll, I accept all nominations at face value.

Steyer’s been a significant climate advocate for a long time, but has not held elected office.

Katie Porter has been too, but has been rather mean to her staff (though not a sexual abuser)

Lots of choices, and really important that Democrats figure out how to at least somewhat consolidate so that we don’t end up with an R vs R general election.

The military has long had some of it at particular facilities — the Air Force academy is notorious. But it’s long been illegal, and was quite rare outside the military.

He’s got a whole staff to create this stuff, but I expect staff would have noticed the demon at the top center, so I figure he actually prompted “trump as healer” or something.

He forgot that the faith healing he was supposed to do was UFO-based. It’s hard to keep track when you lie so much.

I hope this means they’re able to reverse a bunch of the press consolidation and constitutional changes that kept Orbán in power for so long, and change the constitution so that no party in power can so easily do what Fidesz did.

A big chunk of the US population is quite literate in a language other than English. Another big chunk never got appropriate instruction for learning when you have dyslexia

The typical American worker has wages withheld and gets a refund, so yes

They’re afraid to insist on shoes that fit, but instead wear a size based on Trump’s guess. No way anybody in Trump’s orbit can be honest with him

A big chunk of the country prioritizes racism over almost anything else, and lives in the Fox Cinematic Universe, where this kind of thing gets mentioned once at 3am so they can say they covered it, and then never again.

The NYT didn’t even quote the statement initially, but paraphrased it to make it seem saner. They only added the quote to the article after pushback

So long a somebody else has to fight; he’s not out there fighting a buffalo himself.

They have minorites in both houses of Congress. Can’t actually stop anything under those conditions

Problem is that when you disperse research teams, it takes a decade or more to get back to where you were

Gift link you can edit into your post to make free access seamless for most people

It just takes getting them out of power. That’s attainable

It doesn’t have to be that way; we could have a world where people don’t need to fight over energy resources because wind and sunshine are everywhere.
