McMorrow’s exit ahead of the early August primary doesn’t just reflect her own struggles, but also an emphasis among many Democrats to stop El-Sayed, out of fear he would be a weaker general election candidate against former Rep. Mike Rogers, a Republican.

Wrong, he'd be a stronger candidate. Fucking neoliberal traitors would just rather have a fascist.

Anybody remember the Emoluments Clause? No? OK, just checking...

Blah, blah, blah. That's a lot of words for "I don't fucking understand math." Or apparently the difference between a primary and a general election, for that matter. Or basic reading comprehension!

For example:

Yes that requires getting off your lazy liberal ass. Going outside. And organizing for once in your fucking life. And that’s hard and oh but you don’t have the time and oh but what if people don’t want to vote and but who blah blah blah.

Just vote and encourage others to vote for their interests. You will increase voter participation, which more than handles the “but where are these voters going to come from” argument your owners taught you to spew.

THAT'S ALL STUFF THAT HAPPENS IN THE PRIMARY!

Also, you're a goddamn liar who is assuming a fuckton of stuff about me that isn't true.

Maybe you should get off your ass and get some goddamn education about what's actually effective in our political system instead of CARRYING WATER FOR THE FASCISTS BY MISLEADING PEOPLE TO DO USELESS SHIT!

The hard part is that turning the raw data into actual forecasts requires a lot of processing power.

Hmm, I hadn't really thought about that; I was just thinking about stations reporting current conditions. But yeah, you're right that that's the important part. Is weather modeling software another one of those areas like CAD where the state-of-the-art is locked up in proprietary shit, or is it government/scientific enough that the software is public? If one were to start building a distributed weather prediction system, are we talking about refactoring existing software to be distributed or reading research papers and implementing algorithms from scratch?

If 31% of the US population voted third party, a third party would win the white house.

And if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a bicycle. So fucking what?

Actually it’s as low 21%, but that’s a theoretical low and unlikely to happen.

So is the shit you're spewing!

A lot of the stuff posted here is too interesting, IMO.

They're not even "white supremacists!" They're "demonstrators in white supremacist attire," because Politico is just that goddamn chickenshit.

Good news: we already did that! It's called "tort reform" and it...

aim[s] to reduce the ability of plaintiffs to bring tort litigation (particularly actions for negligence) or to reduce damages they can receive

...oh.

It's a shame, because I care a lot about this issue and want more people to know about it... but this isn't about car-centric infrastructure and is therefore off-topic. Please don't post things that make me sad to have to remove them. : (

I want an EV and I like Hyundais (having owned one in the past), but reading comments like these reminds me that having a "modern" computerized car would drive me nuts. And that's on top of the surveillance and lack of right to repair being deal-breakers.

Hiding your face because you oppose the state and hiding your face even though you have the backing of the state are entirely different things.

In the general election, there were only two choices. That's how the game theory of our election works. You can talk about making the obvious better choice in the Democratic primary all you want and that's fine, but if you bitch about voting third party in the general election you are objectively a fucking moron who doesn't have a goddamn clue.

Either that or a pro-fascist concern troll spreading disinformation on purpose. One or the other.
