I'll save my praise for when the trains start running.

That won't be until well after 2024.

Another great move by the Biden administration! I wonder if it will be acknowledged by his critics?

DarkGamer OP , 6 months ago to Politics in Liz Cheney weighs third-party US presidential run, says Trump threatens democracy

I dont know where your copy pasta comes from and I'm not clicking on your link.

Can't learn if you don't click, random stranger. I linked to the wikipedia article on liberalism, what that "copypasta" was cited from.

Clearly it's the definitions that are wrong, lol.

DarkGamer OP , 6 months ago to Politics in Liz Cheney weighs third-party US presidential run, says Trump threatens democracy

Biden is absolutely a liberal.

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law. Liberals espouse various views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion, constitutional government and privacy rights.

DarkGamer , 7 months ago to Personal Finance in Mint.com is going away. Are there any alternatives that are as automatic and simple?

Seems like a stupid move to destroy such a popular platform, and highlights the risk of relying on cloud services.

DarkGamer OP , 8 months ago to Politics in House GOP speaker race balloons to nine candidates

It's frustrating when only one party cares about reality and consequences. Anyone still voting Republican must be either incredibly ignorant, (they believe the GOP leadership when they openly lie,) or malevolent, (they are aware of what they are doing, implementing christofascism, trying to end democracy, and they like it.)

DarkGamer , 8 months ago to Politics in 'There are no victims, except me': Trump flips out on Letitia James in midnight rant

Well he'd be hindered in campaigning, raising funds, giving speeches and interviews, and making back-room deals. I can't imagine that would help his chances. Knowing Trump it would give him someone else to blame, as he seems incapable of accepting responsibility for anything.

DarkGamer , 8 months ago to Politics in 'There are no victims, except me': Trump flips out on Letitia James in midnight rant

Is he trying to get thrown in prison so he can blame Democrats for his inevitable loss?

DarkGamer , 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago) to Work Reform in Automaker CEO Elon Musk Strips UAW Twitter Verification as Union Strikes Against Big Three

I used to believe the free marketplace of ideas worked this way, then the Trump years and the pandemic happened. It became clear that many people cannot and/or do not care to know the difference between evidence-based conclusions & obvious and dangerous lies.

I think exceptions need to be made for obvious propaganda, disinformation, gaslighting, and hate speech. Dangerous lies and calls for violence do not need a platform, that's quite different from silencing people for merely having a different opinion.

Nah, you make them stateless they will use the same tool to go after people they don't like. We should keep them here and make them accountable and show them consequences like this one.

DarkGamer , 10 months ago to Politics in Amazon gets “last rites” from FTC as antitrust complaint looks imminent

the "main allegation," Bloomberg reported in June, "is expected to be that Amazon leverages its power to reward online merchants that use its logistics services and punish those who don’t."

I hope they continue leveraging antitrust laws, America has far too many companies that are both both too big to fail and too big to compete against. If we are to have the upsides of capitalism we must have viable competition.
