Last tine I went on there I got a 3 month ban for making fun of Roy Moore losing to Doug Jones. It's as much an echo chamber as anywhere else, if not worse.

There was a poll showing that Trump won voters who don't follow politics at all by 14 points. There seems to be a substantial proportion of the population who just picks who they vote for based on how well things have been going for them for the last 4 or 8 years.

With inflation, the pendulum swung towards Trump. After 4 years of tariffs, declining dollar value and Trump being unable to run again, I think that pendulum will swing fairly hard to the left. So conventional wisdom on not picking a candidate who will scare off centrists could be out the window. In which case, you might as well nominate AOC or someone similar.

Of course, president AOC won't be able to accomplish all the things she wants to without a supportive congress and getting that to happen is a much bigger challenge than winning the presidency.

µLED doesn't experience any burn in, lasts decades, has perfect blacks and can reach higher brightness than you would ever want to look directly at. If they can get them to where OLEDs are now in terms of price they'll take over the market.

The first Nissan LEAF was the 2011 model, and it had 73 miles (117 km) of range — at a cost of $33,600 if Google’s AI research is right.

Why don’t you click on the damn link and check that it’s right?

I saw this quote earlier related to this;

“To not choose her is a slap in the face to Black women,” said Melanie Campbell, chairwoman of the Power of the Ballot Action Fund, an advocacy organization focused on Black voter engagement. “You are saying to Black women that what we represent is not good enough — not only to stay with the man we voted for, but the woman that most of us advocated for, to be the vice president. You take her down, then you lose the Black women’s vote.”
