Indeed. By the way, for anyone that's interested on the topic, I just stumbled onto a nice Stand-up Maths video that goes more in-depth on the subject and cautions against "nice, simple, neat, easy narratives" [0].

To the 35-40% of the country that’s on board with basically everything they’ve done or are likely to do, who constitute a reliable mega-bloc of Republican voters, yeah.
All of the Trump voters I know think we should obliterate Iran.
I believe I can answer this as I personally saw it as an issue ( with the disclaimer that I think neither candidate even suggested appropriate corrective actions ). Our household is above average for US and the state and yet I still have near constant drain on my cash reserves on a regular basis. In other words, my real purchasing power decreased DESPITE some increase in absolute salary numbers.
Yes, and wasn't it silly of him to call his opponents Fascist?
It doesn't send me a clear message. Trump got fewer votes this time around than he did in 2020. And overall I read that 20 million fewer voters participated this year. The message I'm getting is apathy.
No, it's the people who must be wrong. Surely!
Democrats aren't opposed to making voting more secure. They just want to do in a way that doesn't make it harder for poor citizens to vote. Republicans have been using the fear of voter fraud to keep US citizens they don't like from voting. They'd do things like pass a voter ID law and then close DMVs in poor democratic districts so that it's harder for "the wrong" US citizens to vote. They weren't even remotely subtle about targeting specific groups of voters (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/07/29/the-s...)

Every democrat I know wants elections to be more secure than they are. They just also want them to be fair. There's been a lot of room for proactive measures here that democrats could have been pushing for, but there have been efforts too (https://www.npr.org/2021/06/17/1007715994/manchin-offers-a-v...)
It was a combination of factors: zero interest rate policies changed to fight inflation and the Tax Cut Jobs act of 2017 changes (section 174) requiring capitalization of everything softwsre development related except bug fixes went into effect for tax year 2022.

If software developer salaries cannot be expensed and it’s now 5 times more expensive to borrow money to expand, jobs will be lost.

Oh, and the TCJA was championed and signed into law by then President Trump.
> How can you call trump obviously reprehensible and irredemable... and then lose?

because not being any of notorious lair, repeatedly make comments you normally only would expect from fascist, having systematically undermined various check and balances in their last term, having lost sexual assault cases, shamelessly abusing the reach of a president for deformation etc. seem to no longer matter even through any of this points where believed to be reliable carrier killers

now "reprehensible" that is a much more personal non objective judgement so arguing around that is pointless

Irredeemable seems obvious, but if the things you need redemption from don't matter anymore it really doesn't matter either.

I think the main problem here is that politics in the US are fundamental broken due to way to much polarization in a 2 party system and no good way to fix it.

If Tump wins I personalty think it's hardly avoidable that in the next 20 year there will be a point where you won't be able to call the US democratic anymore at all (based on a objective standard) and the question is if the US will then realize they fuck up and fix it or not (if not autocracy will mass spread even more and likely also take over the EU and given past history of how autocrats tend to cooperate while fighting democracy but then turn onto each other quite reliable the moment their power stabilized we probably should expect WW4).

Naturally I would love to be proven wrong, I really would.

And I think it's best to always stay polite.

But I can understand why someone gets angry with a lot of people voting for someone who comes with such a risk. Especially if a deep dive analyses into their positions show that 1) he lacks concrete (public) plans for most of his positions and 2) they likely will end up making live worse for many potentially the majority of the people voting for him.

But then people voting more based on "feeling" and "popular"/"populist" believe always has been very common. It's also kinda funny how close the words "popular" and "populist" is, sometimes just a change of perspective apart.
It makes sense to say that at least a slice of population gets the small stick, but if I get it right the net benefits as a whole are bigger than the singular disadvantages, or no?

I can't seem to understand that
Trump has stated that his biggest regret from his term is that the people he appointed to various positions, while quite competent and/or experienced, would push back on ideas or plans he proposed. In other words, they weren't loyal.

The difference between this term and his previous is going to be a much stronger focus on making any position he can appoint be one that doesn't tell him no. And it looks like many of the positions he can't (the senate and likely the house) are going that way too. That, to me, makes him represent a meaningfully larger threat to the balance of power in the US than his previous term.

> The last time democrats controlled presidency and both houses was during Obama's first term and they passed the most historic overhaul of healthcare in this country, which was a huge win for women's healthcare.

Was it? From a foreign perspective it doesn't seem to have changed the conversation around US healthcare at all.
Which parties and country would that be?

> I live in a very Republican area and know quite a few people who do vote only on the one issue of pro-life.

it is an important issue.

> Heck, I know quite a few people who are very strongly religious and somehow view Trump as a good Christian candidate. That one really blows my mind, unless they've changed the ten commandments entirely since I was growing up.

What makes it bizarre is not things like adultery (a fundamental tenet of Christianity is that we are all sinners) but that Trump is clearly not a Christian. He does not even know the basics of Christianity - remember when he wished people "Happy Good Friday"?
Yes, yes, and now Pale Moon is four years of web development out of date, Waterfox is not really recommended, LibreWolf has some sketchy history and so on. Forking is easy - keeping it updated and secure is hard.
And that’s why you have to appeal to them all the more. You have to be able to understand and counteract messaging like this. Proof is in the pudding
Who said anything about illegal immigration? Presumably they hope to get a work visa.

LOL
I'm not a Yank so I've got no clue about the reality on the ground, but is that actually true? Sure, the statistics say GDP is growing or whatever, but do real, normal working people feel the effects of those bumps? Cause the way it seems is that you've got a few extremely wealthy milli/billionares sucking up every single possible cent that can be sucked up while your average Joe gets screwed more and more. Companies are doing great, and so are people in the stock market, but is that representative of the rest of the country? I suspect it isn't
On the contrary. The voted for their own economic interests and ignored the culture war. Economics was the number one issue.

I agree but the point is: democracy mandates all candidates strenuously pursue the 5% in 7 states. The Republican Party has a better model of their psyche. I think you and I agree it’s a cynical model, but the Democratic Party doesn’t get results with theirs.
Democrats held all Presidency, House, and Senate in the first two years of the Biden administration. 2021-2022
I don't know, but I doubt it, and what you're stating is essentially the opposite, fossil fuels are far more energy dense than any other form of energy, you can't run long haul diesel trucks on batteries, not without an insane network of battery swap stations. The grid infrastructure alone needs to grow at least 4x to manage this.

I can't find the source, but it was in a video presentation by Kevin Anderson, a senior research fellow at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research.

400 nuclear plants isn't actually that many in terms of numbers, but constructing them is an enormous task.
American wealth isn't uniformly distributed. And as soon as you fall below a threshold of poverty in the US you feel it 10x more painfully than an equally poor person in Europe.

The US series Breaking Bad talks about a well-behaved chemistry teacher who resorts to manufacturing and selling drugs after he gets cancer and finds out that his savings are no where close to covering the medical cost. He needs to magic the money from somewhere or simply die. Such a context for the story will sound utterly bizarre to almost all Europeans (including Russians).
LMK if you find a way
And Donald's first term taught them that when you lie ALL THE TIME, nobody can fact-check you effectively. Just stick to the script and talking points, no matter what the question.

By the time the first ad-libbed bold faced lie is checked and sourced, he has told 42 more. It's not a game you can win by playing by the rules.

It's not conflating, it's comparing, and draws the conclusion that "energy beaming" won't work on Mars. It also correctly discusses the challenges "nukes in space" has from a policy and practical standpoint.

> While the Earth-facing side of the Moon can obtain practically infinite quantities of very cheap power if we beam it up from Earth, which is greatly preferable to attempting to engineer some sort of solar or thermal system which can cope with the Moon’s 28-day day-night cycle, this approach won’t work on Mars.
Trump is the only candidate to advertise himself as a billionaire.
Amusing, but thinly sourced. A tweet mentioning a "usually reliable" source.
So, their march on Kyjiw was just a lapse? They realised half way and this is why they turned? Ridiculous.
Pretty difficult.

Jupiters sphere of influence is full of radiation, meaning the sat needs a lot of shielding which makes it very heavy. Additionally, you need a lot of thrust to not only get to Jupiter, but to be able to get into a geosync orbit around a planet other than earth, so youre gonna need a lot of fuel. And finally, time... Europa Clipper just left earth, it will be 8 years before it arrives at jupiter. The windows for launch are long but very spread out, so mission timing would be important too.

And, funfacts time.. Clipper is going to europa but will be spending much of its time in orbit around jupiter, passing closely to europa every orbit. This was done to limit the amount of radiation the sat will get during its mission, and that orbit is uuuge, in order to avoid as much of the radiation as possible.

The area of Jupiter and its moons is probably one of the most hostile space environments in our system, catching asteroids, radiation, huge planet full of gasses that would corrode you and your ship if you dipped in, and a huge gravity well that makes it difficult to leave again once youre there. Not many other planets in our system are as dangerous as jupiter and friends.
Paying capital gain taxes will.
> The results of that situation will be the same regardless of any mechanical control linkage.

I highly doubt that. In a fly-by-wire plane with mechanically linked controls the only possible source of force feedback on the controls is input from the other pilot. We humans have a very long evolutionary history of wrestling for control of the same stick. We can recognize that situation on a very deep instinctual level. We can also instinctively realize “that other guy is really pulling hard… am I in the wrong here?” If you remove the force feedback and just average the input then all this is lost.

> Recover? It’s better than ever on every actual metric.

Except for all metrics that matter. People are on average much poorer.
I mean, what choice, besides averaging, would make sense? Completely disregarding one pilots input seems worse, and averaging is what happens in a mechanically connected system. The crucial difference is that in that case the pilots can feel that this is happening. I don't know what sort of force feedback the Airbus sidesticks provide, but this lack of feedback seems to me to be the real root of the problem, not the averaging itself.
The problem really is that we need to accept that they are "stupid" but in an empathetic way, remembering that we were once stupid and ignorant. We took it for granted that other people wouldn't confuse correlation with causation, blaming Biden's presidency for inflation. But all of us thought correlation was causation at one point until somebody educated us on science. When a topic was confusing and complicated, we leaned on correlation to guide us until we learned better in formal education. It would be immensely difficult to explain to someone why groceries have become unaffordable without extensive exposition, but it's a hard problem that we should try to solve instead of just calling people ignorant in frustration.
First I’ll just say that I do agree that the left has a big problem with negativity towards - or just simply ignoring - young men’s problems. I don’t believe in the solutions the right prescribes, but yeah, the left desperately needs to come up with its own productive solutions that young men can believe in. And a world view in which young men feel valued.

It’s not “anti-science” to say gender is fundamentally non-binary. Yes, reproduction is very binary but you don’t stop being a man or woman if you become sterile.

Biologically, gender is determined by a dozen of various factors during the child’s development. All of which can go wrong. Especially now that we are surrounded by so many hormone disrupting chemicals.

How is it so hard for people to imagine even the possibility that the development of the brain can be affected towards a different gender than what your genes or genitalia indicate? Biology is not a perfect machine. Not even remotely.

And is it so incredibly hard to acknowledge that it’s easier to fix the appearance of your genitalia and some letters on some paper, than trying to force your brain to rewire itself to a different gender than what every neuron and synapse of their brain has been wired for during development? If you actually spend a minute really listening to a transgender person it will become very clear that switching gender isn’t something they do just because it’s like.. you know.. kinda fun and exciting to be a different gender. No. Not at all.

Tech people especially, should recognise that “binary” is an illusion. We say that bits are binary but anyone that has worked on chips or read about ECC understands that it’s not how physical bits actually behave. Biological gender is similar.

Honestly, that so many people on all sides still don’t see this is a worrying sign of societies lack of empathy. We don’t want to spend even a little bit of time to understand other people. And yes, to circle back, for the left this means they should truly understand and speak to young men in the working class. Sure they have some nice words about supporting unions and such… but it’s not believable.
> I'm well aware that the world in general is taking a hard right wing turn. However, it's not like I have a lot of other options.

yes you have. Unless you are in US illegally, you have 50 states to chose from.
It breaks by sector and averages wave growth but doesn’t disaggregate actual by the numbers for each sector and their loss / gross as far I can tell.

We can make assumptions though and yes I agree it shows that trend.

Even if I’m misinterpreting this my general assertion about people’s feeling about the job reports that I’m telegraphing I think still remains valid
The Mayor of Michel Delving flat out refused to help the tobacco growers of Longbottom, letting the rabbits have their way. The Dark Lord will surely treat them better! Or at least kind of ignore them. Or, well, he does seem supportive of the rabid rabbit leader, but just as often as not he's just incoherent on the topic of the plight of the Longbottom tobacco growers, and I'll take that as a good sign!
RFK Jr tried, the dems shut it down.
ZIRP was the cause of that pain.
Will be very short sighted for USA though. They benefit on so many levels from Europe being so dependent on USA.

This is the part that I don't get with the USA's recent obsessions with isolationism. One of the reasons the US is so rich is because it is a world power with a lot of loyal allies. We align a lot of our policies with the US when we are asked (see blocking ASML exports to China).

If the US is not willing to step up for its allies [1], it becomes a regional power, and the loss of influence will result in worse economical outcomes.

China is happy to fill the void.

[1] Also don't forget that (most) allies stepped up when the US asked (Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.), even when much of their population thought it was not the best idea.
The game we have now is you win by the most voters, might as well be the most voters to sit on a scale and weigh more, wins. It is Mob rule. A significant portion of the electorate has no real idea of what is being asked, nor if its true, just that it sounds good. And we will never get good governance out of that.
On Mars the r^2 scaling just means that solar panels produce ~half as much energy as on Earth. For dust there are electrostatic sweeping grids that automatically remove it.

Realize that nuclear also gets more expensive on Mars, because there are no convenient lakes or rivers for cooling water. Instead you need to build a large radiator or underground pipe grid.
That's exactly how Keir Starmer's Labour won the last UK elections: "we're not like the Tories".
> You already try to dismiss an accepted definition

In this discussion, we've already defined it? where? That's news to me that I can dismiss something that I wasn't aware of.

> Do you think you sound like a person that is welcoming criticism

I am very welcoming of criticism of my party and the one I voted for. Trump can be a bombastic jerk. I voted for him because his policies align more with my values than Harris'. He was the lesser (much lesser) of two evils. I didn't vote for him in the primaries and I wish he wouldn't have won them.

Anyway, you continue to make assumptions about me rather than discuss/debate the issue of why you think Trump is a fascist. It's not much of a discussion and so I'll opt out now. All the best to you.
Nah, nobody is saying it, and it's not happening because the party with all the gun-nuts and survivalists won.

I personally can't see any other way out unless Team Donald messes up badly enough to make their own people shun them.

Please choose one international organization that has had people in Gaza and has declared it's not a genocide.

As for colective punishment, I did make a small mistake. This is "just" an explicit war crime, not a direct proof of genocide. Of course, it easily leads to genocide if you feel that an entire people are responsible for an attack perpetrated by a few dozens of terrorists. After all, if all Gazans are responsible for October 7th, doesn't it just make sense to kill or at least harm all of them, per this deranged logic?

Just like like if someone said "Israelis and all Jewish people deserve to die for the crimes committed by Israel's military against Palestine" would be a demented war criminal and instigator to genocide. This is exactly what Israel's leadership is saying, only it's about Palestinians as a people and Hamas as the army instead. And it is just as deranged and disturbing and frankly disgusting.

> Ultimately, Gazans are the culprit of Gazans' problems. They started this war.

Another historical misguided statement. Israel has been occupying Gaza and not allowing it to be recognized as a state, or to control its own borders, for decades. Every year, even before this war, for every Israeli killed by someone from Gaza, Israel has killed two, three, sometimes even ten Gazans (and the balance is sitting at 45-100:1 for the current invasion, not counting all of the mass rape and torture and other crimes committed by Israeli soldiers against detainees). The people of Gaza are not allowed to leave the country unless approved by Israel, not allowed to import or export anything unless approved by Israel, and not allowed to be recognized in any international organization. The same is true of the West Bank. Additionally, in the West Bank, Israel is taking more and more of the Palestinians' lands and settling colonists, who often attack nearby villages as well.

This "war" did not start on October 7th. It started decades ago, and Israel has been the aggressor throughout.
