Yeah except her approval ratings are consistently even worse than Bidens. Either person on the ticket is likely to get smoked by Trump at this point, unless there is some other major inflection point between now and the election.

The annoying part is how many mainstream tech companies have ham-fisted AI into every crevice of every product. It isn’t necessary and I’m not convinced it results in a “better search result” for 90% of the crap people throw into Google. Basic indexed searches are fine for most use cases.

Read Eisenhowers D-Day remarks. Most Americans believed the Nazis were a genuinely dangerous, oppressive evil that, left unchecked, were likely to subjugate the whole of Europe. Both their ideology and methods had to be rebuked on a moral level.

Whether you’re left, right, or center, focus on becoming ungovernable.

If you build up your local community and supporting institutions, and commit to ignoring unjust laws, you can greatly minimize the degree to which anything at the federal level impacts you.

This involves a lot of self sufficiency and privacy efforts that many are resistent to because of the loss of convenience, but it is well worth it.

Take a look at Harris’ last several poll numbers. And that’s with nobody drawing attention to her. She wouldn’t need any help from Republicans to lose.

Little bit of inside baseball here. One challenge is they would have to pick a new candidate prior to the convention, in order to meet the filing deadline to get listed on the Ohio ballot. It is not likely they win Ohio if people have to write them in. So they can’t just go to a brokered convention and hash it out in realtime.

Secondarily, per campaign finance regulations, they cannot just dump the ticket and then transfer the campaign cash to a new slate of candidates. If Biden were to step down, they’re stuck with Harris, otherwise they cannot use that money. If they somehow convince both to step aside, they have to raise all new money to finance the rest of the campaign, and the time between the convention and the actual election is not a lot of time to raise money (let alone use it wisely).

Pathways into Darkness also came out the same year as Doom but few seem to remember it.
