Trailer Grease has none of the pull the orange turd has, though. Most of MAGA considers her nuttier than squirrel shit and would NOT vote for her.

I'd like to think that Bernie winning the primaries would've actually energised the left wing of the US. Most of the apathy not just in the US, but all over the (western) world stems from the fact that the right always has a charismatic populist mouthpiece while the left keeps bringing out all the old, broken records, pushing actual trailblazers to the back.

With what support Bernie had, he could've easily moved tons more voters than Hillary could've ever dreamt of. Not just in the presidential election but all the other House and Senate and governor and state senate and mayoral votes.

But let's presume that didn't happen and Bernie is now POTUS with the same level of support as Biden had in 2020-2024, and with the same congressional setup as you guys ended up with in 2016.

The reason why Biden's milquetoast agenda didn't go anywhere was because he already did 50-60% of what the conservatives wanted, and readily negotiated the remaining 40-50% down to 10% just to get things passed. Of course that would barely move things anywhere.

Now think, if Bernie came out with an absurdly social-democrat plan/bill. 100% opposite of what Rs want. Even if THAT gets negotiated down to 10% to get past... that's still a thousand times more progress for left agenda than Biden could've ever hoped to achieve.

Just for a moment imagine if he ran against the orange turd in 2016 instead of Hillary, and WON.

Imagine the US not being international laughing stock between 2017 and 2021. COVID being handled properly, with a newly reformed healthcare system actually taking care of people, making your country one of the first to get out of endless lockdowns and furloughs, no record breaking death numbers and so on.

Uhm... No.

It depends on you doing additive or subtractive colour mixing.

Additive mixing (e.g. light, in the form of colour LEDs or similar colour sources) must utilise RGB, due to how physics works.

Subtractive mixing (such as, printing, painting, etc.) on the other hand is better off with CMY+K for higher precision, again, for physics reasons.

They banned all AI regulations unless it affects MAGA detrimentally

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 26 points 1 month ago

No, your honour, we did not use the porn downloaded to train our AI, at least not directly.

The people working on training the AI? Oh, the definitely had a cheeky wank here and there after a stressful day! This just shows how committed Meta is to the wellbeing of our employees.

Europe On Line? EOL? End of line.

Don't worry, there will be a company popping up tied to some Republicunts who'll do the testing for "cheap".

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Is it though?

The options at that point are: the coward's way out, or taking responsibility while seeing everything you "built", be destroyed.

it's not really "on his own terms", is it?

I really really hope for a Hitler style ending.

Feeling the enemies close in as all your plans so far simply evaporated, surrounded, no way out, except for biting onto the barrel of a gun...

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago (7 children)

I guess the way we look back at Nazi Germany.

Hitler had the almost exact same propaganda going, and he even got the Nobel Peace Prize...

Patron-funded news doesn't work in the combination of post-scarcity news (i.e. when anyone can have a platform because there's no limit to entry, like owning a printing press) and economic recession where people's disposable income drops sharply.

Even the first point is enough to kill all but the largest patron-funded news services. The two combined? Guaranteed death sentence.
