Rules for thee but not for me rule.
There is a seemingly, almost intentional obtuseness to internal criticisms of the DNC from folks on the part of Democrats.
Fundamental to why the right has been able to organize a fascist takeover of this nation is actions like this from the Democratic party. Fascism in this country wouldn’t be ascendant if the DNC didn’t rat-fuck Bernie, twice. Health care CEO’s wouldn’t be getting gunned down in the street if the DNC forced M4A instead of the corporate sellout of Obamacare in 2016. Trump would not have won if Democrats had focused their efforts and spent their political capitol on issues that would make a fundamental difference in peoples lived experience in the period of 2021-2024. We wouldn’t be in this position if Democrats didn’t slow walk the prosecution of Donald Trump, effectively sitting on their hands until an election year to start taking action.
The state of this country is a direct consequence of the managerial class politics, which is all that the DNC has come to represent in a post 2024 world. They enable and empower the ratchet effect that allows the rightwing to become more and more fascist, because they are only ever willing to be a lessor evil.
Because of course she is.
The “Lessor evil” party folks.
Purely performative. Got it.
Well this is a fucking disaster waiting to happen.
My understanding of bird flu is the shit really hits the fan if some one catches the seasonal flu in combination with bird flu.
Although there would be poetry in delivering Trump yet another pandemic to preside over.
Cast iron mill gonna run about as much as a bag of grain. you can run it with a cordless drill
The crime he is accused of has

Well we at least agree on one part of that statement.
I could really give a shit if he was doing all he could do to save US democracy right now.
Fact is he ain’t doing fuck all else, so yeah, I disapprove. Whatever the fuck that entails.
What makes you think that you are unqualified?
A more than cursory knowledge of statistics.

This is America. We build whole industries (the insurance industry) around killing people for profit.
lolwut. did Linus come up with this idea?
I think you might have missed the subtle point @mudman was making about marginal probabilities. Its not about their thresholds; any reasonable threshold would exclude the vast majority of people, mostly because the vast majority of people aren’t journalists / don’t have that training.
is an acting journalist is statistically very likely to be extremely unqualified for the job
Wait wait… are you saying I’m unqualified to be a journalist? Because yeah you are probably right.
Also Bayes and stat pilled.
