That makes sense if you believe Biden is the only one who can beat Trump.

The all the polls say he won’t.

But even if Biden is the chosen one and beats Trump, he can’t run in 2028 while Trump surely will. What then? Biden was our only hope, and he’s not an option anymore.

No. This idea of Biden or bust is wrong. I’m sure lots of people could beat Trump. They’d just do it by embracing progressive populism against conservative populism. But the Democratic elite are very much against that.

That’s because, Progressive populism is very much against the ownership class, which both parties depend on. Conservative populism on the other hand, is largely a tool of the ownership class.

65million was the number I learned as a kid born in 1980.

Sometimes terrible people can do good things.
Those good things should be supported.
Judge a project on it own merits.

People still use the Autobahn.

Our comments right here on the Fediverse, are a good example.
Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, and numerous others, all use the same open communication standard; Offering very different services and experiences.

Collabra seems close. They do use ODF. And you can host you’re own server.
But they don’t seem to use E2EE. And the collaborative aspect doesn’t apear to be an open standard you can use with different software packages.

Is there an open standard for encrypted asynchronous colabreative document creation and editing?

The web app works on your phone and tablet, yes?

Both can be true.
In fact the former could even be caused by the latter.

Small quantities of BVO are used legally in some citrus-flavored drinks in the United States to keep the flavor evenly distributed.

No, you’ll just have to shake it before drinking.

Number 1 has issues.

Yes wage growth in 2023 was higher than inflation by a margin of 1.3%. That fails to take into account the 7% and 6.5% inflation of '21 and '22. So people are still way behind in recent years.

Also, while by income rates, “Gen Z are now wealthier than any previous generation.” That doesn’t include the drastic increase in housing costs. So while they do have more money, more still have to live with their parents, and delay starting their own separate life, than previous generations. Even that extra money isn’t enough.

Ah! I didn’t realize that. Then it might derail that conviction.

Thought it would still be a big lift to determine it was an official act as POTUS.

Yes I know that’s what they’re talking about. And this SCOTUS ruling doesn’t effect that case at all.

This case was brought to SCOTUS by Trumps Jan6 lawers. It only matters to things done while in office.

The bribery case, the falsified documents case, aren’t at all effected by this ruling.

No, that’s not at all what they did.
All those things happened before he was president. None of it would count.

This ruling is about his January 6th trial, and the Georgia election interference trial.

That is me. Numerous people have called me “The most literal person I know”.

I wrote only exactly what I meant.

I would TALK to her about looking for someplace to live she does feel safe.

And literally… Advocating Talking about something, is not advocating Doing that thing.

Have you ever been in a TV studio with all the lights pointed at you?
That’s exactly what they are. Directed-Energy Weapons.

“She not gaslighting” was the first paragraph.

Looking back I don’t see anything I wrote, that says they should move, or anything about abuse at all.

My second paragraph recommended a conversation. One which I’m sure would illuminate more of her thoughts; Possibly exposing inconsistencies in her logic, if she is genuinely being manipulative and abusive.

Or possibly we’re both wrong, and reading things that aren’t actually written. You’ve certainly proven a tendency for that with what I’ve written.

Sure all of that is true. But also outside the scope of the direct question.

Because he’s so much more elderly than trump.

To answer your specific question, in this example, no she’s not gaslighting you. Gaslighting is a special form of lying intent on having you doubting your own reason, judgement, and even memory, in favor of someone else’s.

In this case, it sounds like she’s afraid of her own neighborhood, and is depending on you to make her feel safe. Were I in your position, I would talk to her about looking for someplace to live she does feel safe.

We’ve never had a pair of candidates this unpopular. (Maybe Trump vs Clinton)
If the Dems had any kind of brains, they absolutely would pick someone else at the convention.
Just not Harris; She might be the only one, less popular than Biden is.

Trump has his evangelicals, they’re a done deal. His others voters are a “tear down the system” vote. People who are tired of being fucked over, no matter who’s in office. They see him as the “worse” things need to get, before they can get better; And they may be right.
If the Dems picked a genuine progressive, who offered several big radical changes (that we all know the ownership class hates), they would take a lot of votes from trump. They would win.

But I doubt they’d do it.
The only thing more scary to Dems than Trump, is a genuine progressive.
