More needs to be done to name the authors and everyone attached to these proposals. These proposals get laundered by the media and government cycle and there’s never accountability for the cooks in the hate-kitchen.

The Antifacist "organization" being officially designated terrorists tells you everything you need to know. Antifa is decentralized, no base of operation, no official leadership. They'll use that to continue to target whoever they want with no due process. Cuz "terrorism".

Folks, the billionaire class isn't going to be the answer. The internet will have to revert to its primordial state where you assemble the pieces of media you like to consume from disparate sources and they'll be small scale. Decentralized, you pick your networks you trust.

Yeah even "truth" is used very loosely, like with citing statistics that lack context but sound good in a one-liner. Political debate especially has devolved into uselessness. Even the mainstream televised Presidential debates are absolutely useless outside of farming gaffes.
Collin (@collinocsc.bsky.social) reply parent
Also, debate is about dunking on your opponent, not arriving at truth. Hardly an admirable thing to devote one's life to.
Collin (@collinocsc.bsky.social)
Fuck Grok and all, but this is just a fundamental misunderstanding of how AIs/LLMs work. If you're using it for breaking news (even recent news), it's going to hallucinate because it has to give you an answer.

Day-after thoughts on LC: Controllable: - Angulo’s miss - Brekalo being beat by Allende - Atuesta’s bad tackle (forced his sub, Gerbet was ineffective) Uncontrollable: - Brekalo’s first yellow, no contact made. - No call on Bussy against Angulo The ref created consequences with bad calls.
Collin (@collinocsc.bsky.social) reply parent
Hopefully your coach and players are keenly aware of it as a possibility and are good enough to make the victory undeniable. Pareja BEFORE the game said one of the factors is the ref because this same thing happened last time we played Miami in Leagues Cup. It's now a pattern.

the right used to blame video games on school shootings, they moved on to blaming being trans (???) for school shootings, once the hate cycle on trans people is over they’ll move on to blame something else that has nothing to do with school shootings

Matt, Oscar played Araujo somewhere near the front line and I’m still confused about it. He’s basically been Mukhtar’s shadow the last three years before this game which generally worked well.

By producing an assist in the second half tonight, Orlando City SC’s Martín Ojeda recorded his 12th straight game with a goal contribution, tying Sebastian Giovinco (2018) for the second-longest streak in MLS history.

Pasalic is following suit to be fair, but he's generally more dynamic and capable of dribbling defenders so it has been more successful.

It's also kind of remarkable with Oscar because we rarely ever saw Facundo Torres on his favored foot side. Always inverted, always cutting in, always predictable.

We all know what's going to happen. Nothing. Maybe they'll pick a scapegoat (not Trump) that gets a relative wrist-slap. More likely is they try to lump it all on the Clintons and hope that's enough to satisfy their base.

This level of barbarity is unconscionable. Nobody should be comfortable with children and families starving to death. It is morally indefensible to allow the manufactured and man-made starvation to continue. The United States must stop funding and enabling this genocide.

They also do stuff like this: www.newsweek.com/clinton-robb... Dems played their games to get Clinton the primary and she lost.

It’s certainly a factor, hard to say it was the biggest factor. I think we can agree that the Dems need to do more than just pick a man though right?

I can understand why you misunderstood that post, but my point is consistent. The democrats failed to capture enough voters due to a slew of poor decisions.

Why do you think our education system isn’t building an educated and motivated voter base?
Collin (@collinocsc.bsky.social) reply parent
You could blame voters if politicians had more robust platforms and followed them exactly while in office, but how often is that the case? Trump is probably the closest example but even now he’s doing things his voters didn’t necessarily ask for.
Collin (@collinocsc.bsky.social) reply parent
No the actions of the elected politicians are to blame. You can vote for someone who does NOT do what they said they would. That’s why you blame politicians and hold them accountable for their votes while in office.

Ok thanks cat avatar.

What do you think the purpose of a political campaign is? It’s to win votes. If a politician doesn’t win enough votes it means the campaign failed. It’s pretty straightforward.

No, politicians are responsible for creating policy platforms to attract voters. If they don’t attract enough voters they lose. But you blame folks that DONT vote when there isn’t a candidate they can stomach.

Keep blaming voters instead of bad policies and politicians. Loser mindset. Learn to hold politicians accountable.
Collin (@collinocsc.bsky.social) reply parent
Of course I care. The Isreal lobby has infected the US government and our tax money is being spent on continuing that genocide which is why it’s on the mind of voters because it feels like something we can influence

They are different issues. The fact you’re conflating them to suit your argument is gross.

You can project whatever perversion of reality you want to make yourself feel better. Keep blaming the left because your dogshit politicians that change nothing keep losing to literally the worst candidates we’ve ever seen. You vote for mediocre and lose because you’re complacent.

This is assuming you even consider this issue the deciding factor, which I don’t think it was. Harris campaign was dogshit, everyone sane acknowledges their messaging was off.

Biden voted to continue the genocide and did nothing to stop it.

Braindead argument that is refuted time and time again. We are not responsible for bending to politicians they are supposed to represent the will of the people. Harris chose to ignore the Palestine conversation and lost.

Who said it was acceptable? You’re refuting arguments nobody has presented.
Collin (@collinocsc.bsky.social) reply parent
Let’s be clear here, the “ideological purity” in question here is being anti-genocide. These are politicians, they aren’t “sacrificed”, they’re held accountable for their actions. That’s all that is happening here.
Collin (@collinocsc.bsky.social) reply parent
Well your issue is seeing the posts as whining and sniping. Not every post has value of course, but you’re dealing with folks that actually care about issues so you will have your votes scrutinized. That’s the job you picked. Getting mad about it will only see you sorted out of the equation.
