Readit NewsThere is one vote that is not meaningless: the primaries. A lot of the issues y'all have is that Democrats and Republicans alike don't bother to vote in the primaries. That is how you got people like MTG or Trump, that is how you get people like Chuck Schumer stuck in office for far too long.
AOC/The Squad and Mamdani both proved that it is possible to succeed in a primary and offer voters an actual alternative to the corporate owned shills.
Too many, crossing an intersection with a traffic light makes that commute unwalkable. In my suburbia, going from one shop to another 5 doors down requires driving.
It's just a manipulative word that lets you incite people while not actually revealing what was said.
I'm just not spending the time to do it anymore because after doing it a lot, matt doesn't ever get better. It's always just the same garbage.
Past a certain point, it's just not worth engaging with garbage anymore, and it's not reasonable to say "well you didn't engage with his garbage this time, so therefore you lose/are wrong by default".
No, actually, past a certain point, the onus is on him to stop producing garbage before anyone has to waste their time engaging.
While i did go point by point for a while (years actually) on his articles, I finally gave up when he started writing articles about the early days of android, and asserting lots of things, and I was actually there and doing the work with a small number of others, so i know why certain things were done because either I decided them, someone i know very closely decided them, or I was in the room when it was decided. As usual, Matt simply asserts his own set of facts, and when pressed for sources, it turns out he has none. It's just his own views, masquerading as fact. But that doesn't stop him at all! He'll just assert facts that are convenient to him and when pressed for sources just ignore or move on to the next target. Always another BIG newsletter to write!
This is of course, independent with whether i agree or disagree with any of his particular views - there are plenty of people i disagree with who i would happily point you at on antitrust if you want it, becuase despite our disagreements, at least they aren't making up facts and writing soothsaying garbage based on it.
Feel free to post one simple link for us.
You can't do that but you can follow the above sentence with 1000 more words?
My favorites: Ivory soap--bubbles outward; Grapes--see article; Incandescent lightbulb --lights up; Wine bottle--explodes, do this last
Also lots of things you think would be bad do nothing: spray paint can, soup can, silverware, cup of gas with aluminum foil in it.
Honestly "give this popular subsidy a vote" seems more like compromise to me than your idea.
Also, and mostly unrelated: does anyone find it funny that the ACA stopped being "Obamacare" the instant it became popular?

Explain the program and then call it'ACA' and people loved it. Explain the program and call it 'Obamacare' and polled people disliked it.
Shakespeare was wrong about roses.
Or is this the sense of "literally" which actually means "figuratively"?
We now need a new way to convey to listeners that our words need to be taken literally. Perhaps the VBA method and just double the 'literally's:
I took a flaming shot of tequila and my mouth is literally literally on fire
