To nitpick, Win10 looks like KDE :). Kde has been pretty consistent for a while

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

The value of holding av real primary. Sadly that boat sailed. Having delegates hand pick a candidate without any voter input opens the process to undue influence from party politics.

Kamala was at least chosen by the people as a VP. Can’t say the same for most of the randos throwing their hat in

Its almost like the other democrats haven’t been running for office and building name recognition. I wonder why OH YEAH, DNC thought a democratic process was too divisive and would make their octogenarian look bad. Based on the debate, they sure were right! Their candidate cant take 3 steps away from a teleprompter.

Polls are meant to be moved, any of those other candidates would be in a better position than Biden within a few months.

I don’t disagree with any of this, but in this particular instance i do think it’s simply a reflection of reality. Biden’s whole strategy is win over dummy undecideds who can’t tell him and Trump apart, rather than excite his base for a good turnout.

Fact is that strategy requires charisma, not brains. Biden’s running a strategy on his weakness. It’s doomed, which is impressive since Trump is so widely hated. Literally any other dem in there party is a better choice, save Jimmy Carter…

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

Uncritical copaganda from NYT again. These changes are…fine, but don’t get at the inherent risks of police surveillance and biometrics.

I’m a random person but my understanding was that legally the funds belong to the Biden/Harris campaign, now owned by Harris. I think moving that money between campaign funds is not permitted. Maybe some unprecedented swap where Harris remains VP would work.

Edit: i actually researched this, LegalEagle has a good video on it.

In short donations to DNC are safe, but the campaign committee for B/H would need to go into a super PAC and would face litigation risks

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.

Most people don’t have a political education nor do they follow political news. They vote based in vibes and a knee-jerk reaction to the party in power. You can launder a lot of self-destructive behavior in that recipe.
