I’m saying that those stratigies are being executed to support their capitalist ambitions. You need freedom of the seas to ensure trade and they’re enhancing their power projection capabilities to ensure they’ll be free to continue trading in the event of forgein interfere.

It’s the exact same reason the United States enacts similar “national security strategies”.

That sounds like a lot of words to say capitalism.

Why are they attempting to expand their territorial waters?

What is 0.5 rounded up to the nearest whole number then?

lol 🤡

So voting for a random third party and changing absolutely nothing is an infantile concept?

Lol

I appreciate the optimism, but who is going to pass a wealth tax?

You probably want to go to a minimum security federal prison. The easiest way to get there that I think of is check fraud.

You’ll need to write a bunch or bad checks in as many states as you can, or send them through the mail. You’ll need to do this a lot, and for a pretty significant amount of money otherwise they’ll just give you probation of some sort.

Having a disability might be a problem though; if it costs too much medically to keep you in prison they’ll just out you back on the street as a compassionate release.

Llamafile is a pretty good option for 100% local LLMs. The smaller models are pretty good for basic applications. They run at a reasonable speed on my Samsung laptop and really fast on my M2 macbook.

That’s nothing, Trump’s going to get 99.5% of the vote on 98.3% turn out in 2028.

My head cannon is he tried to shoot Trump because he was bitched up about not making the rifle team and wanted to prove to everyone what a great shot he really was.

The progressive wing is only about 12% of the Democratic voter base. If about 56% of Democrats want Biden to withdraw then at most 12% of those are progressive, leaving about 44% who could be the corporate Democrats that aren’t the first targets of the fascists.

I appreciate the good faith response rather than FUD and dismissive memes.

I agree with all of your concerns about the Biden administrations lack of communication and his age. However I disagree that any of those candidates are particularly exciting, they all have pretty much the same national and forgein policies Biden, they’re just younger.

At this point being not Biden might be exciting enough for some people. Whoever the candidate is they’ll still have the general DNC baggage turning of black voters. They’ll have the same support for Israel turing of the anti-Israeli voters. Plus they’ll have whatever individual baggage they have that most voters don’t know about.

Also we have no idea how they’ll perform in a national debate or how successful they’ll be at campaigning. Running a presidential campaign is a completely different monster than a state race.

I don’t disagree that an alternative to Biden needs to be considered, but I don’t see a clearly better candidate out there or a way to replace Biden that won’t cause even more problems for the DNC.

That’s 36%, not 35%. According to the link you shared overall Biden is polling about 40%, 2.2% behind Trump.

That also shows Trump at 36%, so polling at 36% is pretty good for that tiny subset of the poll you shared.

Here’s a link to the entire poll that you decided not to share for some reason.

Interestingly enough the headline for the poll you didn’t link is “Only Michelle Obama bests Trump as an alternative to Biden in 2024”. I wonder why you went out of your way to obfuscate that.

So the whole argument the poster is making is based on a general misunderstanding of what’s going on?

Trump heard Joe Biden might have dementia so he went out and got even bigger dementia, the best dementia!

Where is he “polling at 35%”?
