@ChrisWere @Ollie In life sometimes we need to choose between two not great options. That’s the way it goes. The only path forward is to vote out all Republicans everywhere and rebuild and restructure democracy from the ground up. Dems need to be pressured to do the right thing but they can be. Republicans are unmovable and are fascists, so we need to vote them out. That’s the only path forward. Complaining about past mistakes of Dems (and there are many) doesn’t help.

@ChrisWere Dems can’t change it because the GOP won’t allow it. The only way they can change it is to vote out the GOP en masse.

@ChrisWere Are there some loser Dems who enable the GOP? Sure. But the solution is to vote in Democratic majorities so big that the losers can be marginalized.

@ChrisWere Obama had control of the senate with 60 votes for a grand total of 4 months. https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/2012/09/09/when-obama-had-total-control/985146007/

@ChrisWere That was more than a decade ago. You’re the one spreading that lie!

@ChrisWere It’s not the Dems’ fault that people believe wrong stuff. You also say that Dems want the system to be this way, which is wrong. The GOP blocks change. They are the problem.

@ChrisWere I said they made lots of mistakes, but that’s irrelevant now. They are the only people standing between us and the end of US democracy, and that ain’t hyperbole. https://www.project2025.org

@cy It was a consensus among the elites. They were dreadfully wrong, and that led to Trump.

@aral @katzenberger @BenjaminHCCarr The question the proof of work advocates need to answer is “if there’s a cryptocurrency that has value but uses 99+% less electricity to create it (Ethereum), why shouldn’t we just use that one?” I’ve asked this many times and have never gotten an answer I understand. Maybe I’m just not smart enough, but maybe there isn’t a good answer.
