You’re right, but I think it was a combo.

October 7th spilled a bunch of gasoline on the ground. (Almost immediately after that day his polling trailed Trump’s.)

His debate performance dropped a lit cigarette.

I’m my opinion, you really needed both of those things for him to drop out. A physically struggling Biden that’s polling at 60% would’ve stayed in the race. A Biden with an excellent debate performance that was polling at 45% would’ve stayed in the race.

They’re not done counting. There’s a decent chance he has more votes this time.

According to Forbes, Musk is currently #1 and Arnault is #4.

Based on the article, that’s very clearly what they want.

EDIT: anyone who’s downvoting me should try explaining why the Democratic mayor of a Muslim majority town that hates pride flags is endorsing Trump. Some people clearly don’t mind if Trump wins.

I rewatched it when Disney+ rolled out. The first few episodes definitely hold up. Something like the first 4 or so episodes were all part of one really solid story arc. I think I stopped watching somewhere after season 1 though.

I know it’s not the point, but it’s weird to call things “9/11 scale attacks” when you consider how many buildings were leveled in Gaza.

Your analogy requires a powerful faction of people in Poland directly shooting rockets at Russian-occupied Ukraine. Still a significant event, but this descent continually shows the problem with analogies.

They are programmatically token predictors. It will never be “closer” to intelligence for that very reason. The broader question should be, “can a token predictor simulate intelligence?”

Yeah, that pretty much aligns with what I thought. A comment downvoted to -122.

First part is true, but irrelevant since it’s a blue district like I tried to explain to the other dude. When I say blue, I mean she more than doubled her next closest opponent (the Republican candidate)'s votes. It would be a waste of AIPAC’s money from their perspective.

Second part sounds like fan fiction because the users on Lemmy I’ve interacted with don’t sound like people who want to see a solidly blue district turn red.

That’s a primary. Different places have primaries at different times.

Yeah it does, because in the general election, she’ll be the only Democrat. That’s the purpose of the primary.

She won her primary a couple months ago and she’s in a very blue district.

Harris is a common name for Americans. Sarah is too. Her name isn’t Kalama. The error shows how exotic it is to you and your autocorrect.

I hear female supporters refer to her as Kamala. I think it might have more to do with the uniqueness of the name. I don’t know of anyone who referred to Sarah Palin as Sarah.

This is a weird headline generally, but it’s even weirder given that a UK outlet wrote it.

No, nepotism has definitely been a thing. Your original text made it seem like there’s been a long history of the Democrats having spouses (a singular instance for either party) or a VP (less concerning) being the candidate. It also made it seem like you considered it nepotism. VPs aren’t nepotism.

I’m not gonna list a lot of examples

You say this like you’re talking about more than exactly two people over more than exactly two elections.

If I’m understanding what you wrote, I think you actually are bound to Apple. Most people in the Apple ecosystem aren’t going to leave it, because there’s too much inertia to overcome to leave it.
