They hang out here because America is currently one of/the best wealth engines on the planet and they can afford to avoid the shit parts. Once either of those stop they'll go somewhere else that's nicer

I think she's using it less as therapy and more as a way to win arguments is the problem

This premise gets thrown around a lot but I actually disagree. "Every time people turn out" is always also thrown in there like some arbitrary thing--when I think the past several election cycles have shown that when there are younger, more progress candidates who make it past the primaries turnout shoots up. Courting the 3% uninformed flip-floppers by moving right is a losing strategy when you could be motivating your own party to turn out by moving left and driving turnout up. There's no money in that though, so dumb centrists get wooed

Not that I ascribe this to strategy, but I wonder if this will work in their favor. The last minute change of jockey has been dominating the news since it happened, and pushing Trump's ridiculous things to the side. This ticket will have huge and new name recognition in voters' minds, and a lot less time to get mud to stick

Keep in mind NH is only vaguely a battleground at the federal level, Biden won it by 7+ points in 2020 and they haven't voted for a Republican president since 2000 and even then Bush barely eked out a win. Push against the fascists still!

A lot of advanced analytical tools in biotech at least are developed to be compute cluster compatible, and thus work best on unix-like CLI, e.g. Linux (or Mac with a bit of tinkering)

In all three cases, he can do it as long as Congress gives him that power. In this case it's unlikely Congress will push back on banning Russian software, in the other two the republicans have promised to block any executive effort

One could make the case that it is a patriotic duty to divert money from fascists that would otherwise go to fascist causes

I think that's part of the point? The twitchy zoomers aren't on?

Tariffs in general aren't inherently bad if they protect domestic interests, especially against a foreign power that is subsidizing production as part of an economic power play. If Trump had limited his tariffs to China and Russia not included all of our allies I would have agreed with him. If we didn't desperately need more EVs and if US automakers weren't such colossal assholes about making good cheap EVs I'd agree with this one

Oh ho ho, where have you been that you think they'll hold their own side to this standard?
