The actual video for your own judgement:

I’m not shocked an old man missed a prompt to speak in a low stakes phone call. Mid-sentence in a high-stakes optics-focused debate is the bigger gaffe, but equally normal for an old man.

I think the wheel of history turns on a greater axle than a presidential election. Look at Europe, and the rest of the global north. The machine of neoliberal imperialism has created global instability and climate crisis, and the rich are locking down their spoils with right wing nationalism.

Trump was a fluke, he’d have had more bites at the apple in 2020/2024 and eventually get a win. If not him, then some evangelical fascist.

Unfortunately this financing requires a populace widely adopting cryptocurrency…making it a pipe dream for mainstream use.

Tips are generally a bad model as well, which creates an incentive for rapid and pandering work (like ad supported content).

Patreon had frankly built all of YouTube that is worth watching. I think a simple payment system using real banks can be integrated into smaller hosting services.

It’s all academic though, YouTube is unrivaled in ad revenue and helping you expand an audience.

He knows Trump will win, it’s a safe bet to win some favor.

They’d need to be in the same page for his replacement, or it’d be a shit show. A failed attempt would also look awful

Too late to find the best candidate, that would be settled in a primary. Kamila is marginally better than Biden, and has the war chest they’ve fundraised. At best we get an exciting new VP

We need her in the legislature. Presidents fuck off after 4-8 years, we can’t spend one of our progressives so early
