After 2016, the DNC already halved their influence. I’d argue they are a necessary evil to prevent various scenarios where bad actors try to hijack a primary.

But more generally, the entire point of a political party is to express political preferences via a platform, and to back candidates which support that platform. I don’t really understand this idea otherwise… if a dozen Republicans decided to run as democrats to “troll” the primary, you’d want the party to step in, right?

In 2008 Obama was the outsider candidate but he was actually popular enough that the party had no choice but to back him in the end. That’s how the process is supposed to work.

I’m sure several democrats will run?

She will run into the same problems as Clinton. The right has spent a decade attacking her at every opportunity so that she is a polarizing figure, whether she deserves it or not.

Obviously nobody drank milk in the USSR shitlib

You: hates milke because it is unethical

Me: hates milk because it is fucking disgusting.

We are not the same

How do i delete someone else’s comment?

Bombs?

Right, and sealioning is also a thing. If we are having a conversation where there is a presumed knowledge of some basic informationor background, I’m not going to sit here and restate that entire basis just because you got in over your head.

Nobody cares.

Bro leave some legs for the rest of us

“Right, so you see, when a conductor is passed through a magnetic field, an electromotive force is produced, and this force can perform work, which can in turn be used to represent probabilistic information…”

Yeah, when we tried to do the “gotcha” thing with electroboom where he was completely wrong on the main topic of his original video but “right” on a technicality because he framed it as a trick question. But conveniently didn’t mention the “trick” in his original video. Jackass.

Can veritasium just make educational videos and not keep doing this stupid “everyone is wrong I am so smart” clickbait?

As opposed to an air fryer, which is a way better use than the food prep space it takes up?

Least redundant air fryer usage.

What?

The right is actively banning books everywhere they can get away with it.

Too many tourists just means you need to raise hotel prices. Locals don’t pay for hotels.

This shit has been the same cycle for literally centuries. When times are good, locals hate tourism. When times are bad, the locals wonder where all the tourists money went.

In these “tourist economy” areas it’s easy to miss the fact that even if you don’t directly work in the tourist industry, there’s a ton of infrastructure and services which get propped up by that industry. I’ve been on both sides of this, as a local and a tourist, and most of the whining is privileged elitism. Every local knows how to avoid tourists, and every local has also been frustrated by something being closed in the off season. Connect those dots and stop complaining.

In most cases if you are a tourist and are accused of minor crimes you just get deported unless you’ve done something else more serious. Detaining someone on a short term visa is awkward (what if their passport expires while in custody?) and kicking them out of the country accomplishes the same thing as jailing them.
