at least three congressional Republicans
How does that compare with the number of congressional Republicans actively spreading this disinformation?

Your username raises questions. I’m not sure any of them need answers, though…
That was my reaction, too. I feel like I’m aging at an accelerated pace with these guys in charge.
I attended a Ralph Nader rally in Boston ahead of the 2000 US presidential election. It was a high energy event, with an atmosphere almost like a pop music show. Nader and his VP candidate both spoke about their campaign positions, with frequent pauses for enthusiastic applause from the crowd. Nader was a third-party candidate, which meant that he was an outsider to the regular election process, and in particular was not invited to the nationally televised debates. There were frequent chants of “Let Ralph Debate”, and we were certain that the establishment was uncomfortable with that idea because they knew his policies would be very popular. Cash donations were collected, and many people wrote pro-Nader messages on the bills they gave.
I suspect your rally will be similar, really. Not quite as much of an outsider vibe, but maybe it’ll be replaced with an underdog vibe. Expect an optimistic event that tries to inspire enthusiasm. It’s not just about encouraging your direct support, but also about inspiring you encourage others to support the campaign.
Bush’s 2000 campaign is largely responsible for mobilizing the evangelical Christian voting block in the US. So in no small way, we have him to thank for the rise of Christian nationalism that we’ve seen over the past 20 years.
I won’t judge him as a person, but there’s no rehabilitation possible for his presidency.
Big +1 for K-9. I considered switching to an iPhone after breaking my previous Android phone, but two apps, K-9 and an actual real Firefox, kept me on Android. It’s a great mail reader, and I struggle to imagine having to use something else.
Just ask ChatGPT; it’s better than humans at proving its humanity with these stupid things.
VMs provide a meaningful security boundary between applications. Containers (docker, etc) do not.
I’ve known two respiratory therapists. They spend their days working with people suffering from emphysema and other smoking related ailments. Both of them smoked.
People are weird.
Those aren’t tubes, they’re whole tubular tires, essentially an integrated tube and tire in one unit that is glued to the rim. Changing a flat first required peeling the old one off before the new tire could be stretched (they fit tight!) onto the rim.
Tubulars are still used regularly by at least one world tour team (French, naturally), but these days a flat is fixed by swapping the wheel or even the whole bike for a spare carried by the team car. That wasn’t allowed in the early days.
That’s what we said about Roe as well. They will always find some new way to manufacture outrage even after they get their way.
Maybe you should poll people outside your social circles?
Turnout matters, though. Biden in 2020 won more votes than any presidential candidate in history, but the second place winner was Trump in 2020. There will be similar loyalty to Trump on the right in 2024, and if Biden can’t match that, he loses. So I’m not afraid of the youth vote either, but I am afraid of the lack of it.
Want a new law? Repeal 2 others.
Mindless platitudes like this accomplish nothing but to trivialize the legitimate complexity of the large scale organization.
It’s a perfectly reasonable career. The fact that you’re even saying this just shows how successful the American right’s undermining of the government has been.
Hiring non-profesionals for a job is not a recipe for successful execution of that job’s responsibilities.
My goodness, Dennis Hastert doesn’t even make the list?
It’s not discontinued. They backed away from that plan in favor of a battery tech refresh. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/07/gm-announces-a-new-ultium-based-chevrolet-bolt-during-q2-report/
People on lemmy really seem to spend a lot of time thinking and talking about reddit. Why is that?
I’d totally eat that. Seems like cooking the actual brownies should happen later in the process, though, no?
I just hope they don’t get their promising rookie qb killed playing him behind that porous o-line. That would pretty badly derail the rebuilding process.
