Oh! Now I get it. You’re talking about something I wasn’t. It’s true none of that has anything to do with the rules specifically, like I thought. But instead, you want to talk about some broader point we weren’t thinking or talking about. Okay. Yes your right. It matters to the larger situation, beyond the scope of our immediate discussion. Thank you for explaining.

I’m not sure how any that matters to any campaign finance rules that might prevent Biden from giving his war chest to another candate?

People don’t even take turns in a circular firing squad.
I have no idea what you’re talking about any more.

Neutrality is about not treating some forms of data different than others.
Data caps are still neutral. They don’t care what kind of data you use, only how much.

That’s not to say they aren’t a problem. Just a different one.

It’s not an argument. It’s an excuse.
A post-hoc justification, given as a robotic response to my explaining how it’s false.
In this exchange it’s literal nonsense.

That could be.
That’s not what I was thinking.
Thinking again, that seems quite likely.

No candidates stepped forward.

Because Biden ran.
I said that.
That was the whole point of what I said.

You don’t seem to be participating anyway.

That makes sense.

Biden never should have run a second time at all. His running scared away any other candates. If he clearly said he wouldn’t run for a second term, they could’ve had a full open primary with a dozen candates or more.

As it was, they did everything they could to discourage a real, full primary process.

Even after he was forced out, he could’ve not handed he’s entire campaign war chest and staff to Harris. And instead had a contested convention where candates lobbied attendees for their votes. Like used be done a century ago. Then given all his campaign resources to that nominee.

She’s not saying Harris needed a few more weeks. She’s saying Biden never should have gone for a second term, and they should have had a real primary process to choose a better candate. Which was a mistake I pointed out when Biden announced his second run.

Technically, legally, it is that simple.
All it takes is some courage.

That’s not how that works.

The average mainstream American likes Christmas.
The average mainstream American doesn’t own 90 ugly Christmas Sweaters so they can wear a different one every day for 2 months.

You are the latter.

I’d get back to the judge today, saying we’re ready to procede as planned. His employment status is unrelated to the case.

It’s weird when you agree with some of a persons conclusions, but not the way they reached them.

I’m very conflicted. The 230 stuff really needs to be revisited. But net neutrality should be left alone.

There’s no one con that’ll get everyone.
But everyone can be gotten by at least one con.

If they’re an idiot who doesn’t know, they aren’t a monster, but a victim of a con.
It’s the people who DO know because they aren’t idiot’s, that are the monsters.

It might seem pedantic. But it really is an important distinction.

It took me a long time to figure this out.
Trump lies with every breath. Even his supporters don’t believe the literal truth of his words. They instead replace the literal meaning of his words, with the more broad idea that he’s talking about the thing they like, in a way other politicians don’t. That nebulous ephemeral feeling is what they are voting for.

Of course they can’t understand that, let alone express it coherently. Which is why all their reasons are such incoherent straw-grasping.

She doesn’t have to politely stick to a meaningless tradition, giving him a call to fucking congratulate him!

He certainly did. Won the popular vote for the first time. But why CALL HIM to admit defeat!?
Instead go to the public and congratulate them on not having to vote ever again, like Trump promised we wouldn’t!

Why? I genuinely don’t understand Democrats.

You spend an entire campaign calling him a threat to democracy in any way you can. Then you cordially call him to concede he won?
This is the implicit lie hidden in Democrat politics. Trump exposed it to a lot of the electorate. It’s part of what cost them millions of votes.
