I am not American, nor the person you responded to, but in 2020 the Democrats won the white house, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.

As an outsider looking in, why is there the expectation that Kamala doing it again in 2024 will have a different result?

Makes me reflexively downvote any “but Biden’s genocide” type comments especially when they’re out of left field as above.

What are you talking about then?

Right. Criticizing a president who is standing by during an active genocide is splitting the democratic vote. Ignoring the fact that a split implies there is a choice.

You get downvoted so hard if you say anything negative against Biden. A piss bucket might be better than a turd bucket but that’s not saying a lot.

The object was found outside the embassy grounds and the national bomb squad was dispatched to investigate, Reuters reported, citing Swedish public broadcaster SVT.

Well the president decided to stand by (at best) or enable (at worst) a genocide of a people. So yeah thanks, but those sunny days seem a bit bleak right now.

There’s a reason the US is targeting China from various fronts (trade restrictions, sanctions, etc.). China is a powerhouse and the US is terrified of being left behind.

I wonder how well Israel’s air defence structure would perform against an actual air force.

Given that Ukraine is being attacked by Russia as oppose to a ragtag group of guerrillas.

I knew you could do it!

It’s because of all that avocado toast.

I’m not too sure how many independents will be able to afford dumping a quarter of a million to replace all their projector screens

Don’t worry, thanks to this amazing thing called capitalism a big chain will happily buy out those struggling independents at a fraction of their actual worth.

Okay. That makes them a bastion of democracy?

They are spying on journalists, not on other sovereign states.

An Israeli company makes it because there is a need for the tech. I wonder by whom.

Ah okay. I’m not surprised Israel makes tech that can be used to spy on others. That bastion of free speech and democracy.

India is Israel’s biggest ally in Asia. Says a lot when Israel is spying on India.

I’m not in the market for a new computer but will definitely avoid Intel.

I would use [it] from a desire to do good. But through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine

• Gandalf, to Frodo, saying why he should not be given the one ring.

This is the 2023 matchup, so I guess it would put Musk on top

To make things slightly easier it’s Musk v Thiel and Bezos v Altman.

In the first matchup, I would pick Musk over Thiel for being a bigger POS in general.

In the second matchup I would pick Bezos for the larger impact he has had on the world.
