Obama was by far the best US president in recent history and maybe ever. Then the Dems just went like OK we’ll never ever do something like that again.

Here’s what I told someone else:

The Dems lost the house of representatives in Obama’s years 3 and 4. Again in years 5 and 6. And then lost both the house of representatives and the Senate in Obama’s years 7 and 8.

You need more than just the president. They lost in 3 out of 4 of Obama’s cycles. And you’re wondering why they aren’t running to the left? They lost 3 out of 4.

As long as other people learn I’m happy to do it.

Are you kidding?

The Dems lost the house of representatives in Obama’s years 3 and 4. Again in years 5 and 6. And then lost both the house of representatives and the Senate in Obama’s years 7 and 8.

And you’re wondering why they didn’t make a big move left after? They lost control in 3 out of 4 elections under Obama. There is more than just the presidential election you know. The left voters never showed up after the first election.

(And imo Hilary did make a move left in climate change with the map room. And guess what, the left voters didn’t show up.)

Speaking of strawmans (a weird one at that). And gaslighting. And wild. Projection in case you don’t get it.

Why am I bothering. Ciao.

It’s a bit simpler. Those facts, evidence, research, and experts? The religious right thinks that’s all faith and belief, because that’s how they work. That’s really what they think. It’s mind boggling but that’s what they think.

Bad arguments like portraying a bunch of idiots as an actual military force and a war? And you’re still (kinda) at it. Now a strawman. Yup, you’re everything you project about bad arguments. Ciao.

Well yeah this is the Trump strategy. Throw as much shit as you can to knock the other person around and they don’t have time to respond to it all.

No kidding huh. I can’t believe people don’t get this.

Frame Canada

Wendell Potter spent decades scaring Americans. About Canada. He worked for the health insurance industry, and he knew that if Americans understood Canadian-style health care, they might… like it. So he helped deploy an industry playbook for protecting the health insurance agency.

The sitting president told… wait for it… A bunch of idiots. I get that you don’t like nuclear, but this is embarrassing.

That stick has staying power, a week at least.

Incredible to get the claws forward. Is it more the claws forward or the whole bird is rotated around and the head is crammed forward?

Well you see, it introduces efficiencies because there will competition and incentives for CEOs to seek innovative, private industry knowledge and ok I’m done /s.

Thinking through this: it will swamp Congress with every minor little detail, bringing progress to a standstill. There’s just too much stuff, that’s partly why agencies are set up.

AND Dems need all 3 (presidency, house of reps, and Senate) to pass anything (any of these details). Dems have had that for only 4 of the last 24 years. The GOP gets to block any of this when they have a single one of those (20 of the last 24 years). If you thought there was a lack of progress before, it’s going to be tenfold going forward. VOTE (for Dems, not 3rd party).

Why is it that the right thinks science and expertise is an opinion?

They work off belief and faith, that’s what religion is. So they project that everyone else thinks and works the same way, aka they think science is a belief and faith. It’s always projection.

Anyone needing a refresher:

Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837 (1984), was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that set forth the legal test for when U.S. federal courts must defer to a government agency’s interpretation of a law or statute.

Oh the military did Jan 6? Must have missed that. You know the tanks rolling toward Congress.

Like how out of touch do you have to be to think this was a good idea.

A bunch of idiots is not a war with tanks, artillery, and planes.

Gotta protect those profit margins!

Would meteorologists be writing that stuff or just using it? I would have thought using, but not programming.
