Trump is just the useful idiot to install Vance, who’s essentially a Musk proxy.

That’s why it’s an unofficial promise, he’s obviously not following through but Musk is dumb enough to trust him.

Oh, it’s absolutely illegal, but it’s a federal crime and he probably has an unofficial promise from Trump that he’ll be pardoned for it if the scheme works.

Sure. Let’s just apply that consistently then. Atoms are binary, the vast majority (with fewer than 1% of atoms being exceptions) can be accurately identified as one of two distinct elements, hydrogen or helium.

Yep. Same software, same hardware, just different config files.

It’s probably a blue area in a red state. They intentionally open fewer polling places there as a voter suppression tactic, hoping people will see the line and figure their vote doesn’t have enough weight to justify the time.

The problem is focusing on danger implies strength. They want the guy that’s dangerous to their enemies. Mocking him erodes some of that power.

I’m not a neoliberal, I’m a socialist. I’m just not an idiot who will give a fascist free rein just because his opponent has the same shitty foreign policy as every politician in the whole fucking country has. There is a difference between the status-quo level of bad and catastrophic.

It’s the trolley problem again. This time, you have 3 tracks and 2 switches. The trolley is headed towards 5 people, one switch sends it to 1 person, and the other switch would send it to 0 people, but it’s broken. Voting third party is pulling the broken switch, knowing the 5 people will die but you’ve shifted the responsibility from yourself to whoever was supposed to fix the switch.
