While I won’t argue that this has often been the role of the Democratic Party, and I have no doubt that it is a priority of the current party leadership, it is not an inherent function of the party. With our current electoral system, it is inevitable that our politics will be dominated by two parties. Republicans are the worse choice of the two on literally every single issue, including being less open than Democrats to changes to the electoral system itself. The solution, as leftists, is not to abandon the Democratic Party, but rather to take it over from within and elect party leadership focused on real change and not upholding the status quo. This approach is much more feasible and potentially much faster than trying to build a new party from the ground up, and much less destructive and painful for the people than violent revolution and the civil war that would likely ensue.

I thought that had already happened several years ago

Exactly. They may not have directly said “child” psychologists, but we can put 2 and 2 together

Exactly - note that it does not say GOOD reasons. Just because you can argue with the reasons that actions were undertaken, it doesn’t mean they were undertaken arbitrarily. You don’t have to like the reasons for them to have existed. Arbitrariness is not the same thing as bad decision-making.

I don’t think you understand what the word arbitrary means

Where my Orcas at?

What needs to be done to move/remove the red guard piece so that the switch can be used? Is it something the pilot can just do quickly, does it require a special tool, etc.?

A lot of those are the same people

I had to watch the Wire’s first episode 3 separate times before I had any motivation to continue on with it

Season 2, Episode 23 is the “real” start of the show IMHO. It’s the episode where Chris and Ben arrive, Mark takes a job somewhere else, and the gang celebrates April’s 21st birthday at the Snakehole Lounge. Also, most of the show’s eventual couples are also paired up in that episode - Leslie/Ben, Ann/Chris, April/Andy, and even Tom/Lucy.

Not to mention that the sycophantic “personality type” that chatbots display appeals to the egos of CEOs and other executive types - “Finally, my genius is being properly recognized and I am being shown the appropriate the deference I deserve”

Hell no

Rich is more like top 0.1%

You tax the money they borrow against their stock holdings as income, and allow them to deduct money used to pay back those loans. You could also tax a percentage of their wealth, which they can pay by selling some stock.

100%, although I think I might rather see her take down Schumer for his senate seat and then become majority leader…

Mathematically speaking, each of them is half as bad as one Trump voter
