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

Ages ago someone wrote a bash script that would calculate your “stallman score”, essentially checking the license of every package in your system.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
