Herman Cain? He died from COVID.

It's adorable and the whole quote is about society as well. Heaven forbid we have a president who understands some philosophy.

Talking about someone who doesn't support the death penalty and Feinstein had the gall to call her out for it during a funeral.

A wealth tax. With that we could fully fund all the research people mention and have the means to roll out the advancement in a way that doesn't cause massive externalities.

It's not just pundits, Nancy Pelosi wants Harris off the ticket. I already donated to her campaign and called my reps to let them know that's a bad idea.

You make a lot of claims and generalize from there, but I am not sure what specifics you are talking about. In the specific case of Kamala, it seems she was right and got her way (breaking news). So really, your point (which I am not sure if it goes beyond personal attacks) is rendered moot.

Huh, I guess you can do just about anything if you're willing to pay the political cost.

Damn straight! Us software developers know better because we're expected to learn any domain. Obviously the government works a lot like software and that makes me a theoretically political scientist.

Nancy came out as for an open primary. AOC is warning her ilk about why that's a bad idea, and making sure her constituents know it.

Those suggesting other candidates should probably address the three issues AOC brought up:

  • Endorsements doesn't transfer
  • Campaign contributions doesn't transfer
  • Possible state level shenanigans by GOP to keep candidates chosen after some technicality off ballot

None of these issues exist if Biden simply steps down.

Money paw finger curls in

Don't worry, Nancy wants Newsom to be the candidate.

If my house is on fire I couldn't care less as long as they save my kids. Being a genuine asshole doesn't deserve that fate.
