  • So we have given up on the other two claims then right, she hasn’t been for medicare for all since the 2020 primary, right? Further when it goes on to say,

    the same rate previously put in place in the 1986 bipartisan tax reform and well below the rate proposed in the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2025 budget. In their view, this approach strikes the right balance.

    Can you see why this didn’t capture the enthusiasm of a voting population that is largely very sick of slow incremental changes that are so desperately in line with the status quo? People get inspired by a fighter, and ‘finding a nice balance’ on how much we should tax the corporations during what people view as rapid greed driven inflation.

    That is a assuming they are in the weeds deep enough to even to know what she is doing. This article describing the steps paints a picture of someone that’s serious about money in politics.

    This on top of Gaza, on top of Biden taking so long to drop out and have no primary. It sets the stage for a candidate that democrats didn’t fall in love with, and lost to the republicans falling in line.


  • Okay cool, that’s the only one I found too. So nothing about Medicaid for all or getting the money out of politics, right? Because without those on top, I think it’s not surprising that folks were unmotivated by stuff like:

    Vice President Harris and Governor Walz’s plan will raise the corporate tax rate to 28 percent—still well below the rate that was in place before the Trump tax cuts under both Democratic and Republican presidents.




  • Yeah not fully convinced about what is going on. The fact that the blurred background is nearly identical is not something I’ve seen in other examples of over-tuning.

    I don’t even believe the sentiment is wrong. Generative algorithms have no conception of reality and the companies behind them are stealing work. However there seems to be a lot of misconception about what aspects are being stolen, because the reality is that the concepts that are stolen are much more abstract of lines and pixels than we can easily parse.














  • I don’t even think I really disagree with the core of your point here, but I think you’re incorrect in conflating irrationality, emotion, and non-determinism. If you want to take apart a brain and show me the warm soft non-determinism please do. But I think the reality of everything we know about the world suggests the human mind is an incredibly complex deterministic machine, orders of magnitude beyond the abilities of the machines we create.
