I had to look up HSTS as I'd never seen that acronym before and the AI Google shoved down everyone's throat was super helpful as always. (I figured it out on my own.)

If Newsom's platform is that I suffer, then I will withhold my vote. If enough of us do it in close states, Rs will win the election and we all will suffer together. So we can all suffer together, or you can recognize that I'm a human being and start acting like it, and I'll help you win.

Trolling is funny and helpful when all someone has is a platform. When there’s access to real, tangible, direct action, trolling is just performative. Newsom is not a comedian or entertainer, he’s a governor.

This is a poorly framed question. Lots of conservatives would cut off a family member for being LGBT, for example, but that doesn’t clock as a ‘political view’ to them. Also, the narrative that leftists cut off their conservative family members too easily is extremely widespread on the right.

From what I understand they're actually looking for evidence that you have an imagination and use it and could get along with other kids, but that's not what the letter of the question actually says.

There's something almost poetic in getting assessed for autism and asking clarifying questions on enough of the assessment items that the assessor starts acting like it's all just a formality. "Do you prefer to be around a lot of people or one-on-ones?" That depends. What's going on? With who?

Yanno, I'd have a little more truck with "vote blue no matter who" if they actually meant it. The moment a progressive is even so much as suggested they jump at the chance to tell you they wouldn't vote for them and neither would anyone else. Mamdani winning was a good example of this.

Oh, no, she doesn't say that anywhere. But in that section she does say that "Most Jews are Zionist" which seems presumptive at best, and that being against Israel as a Jewish state had the effect of "shrinking the coalition", which feels like she's missing the point. Probably not wrong, though.
