Who did it better?

Bro is going to be counting his dollars while kill-drones track us algorithmically as we try to run from them.

Bernie running around and campaigning with AOC is him setting up his replacement for the leader of the Progressive wing.

Fair.

Sure technically they are in different parts of Congress,

This is where my problem lies though. AOC is already elected. Bernie will leave his seat one day and then his state will need a replacement. If he hasn’t helped build one up, there will be a vacuum and they could get a corpo in his place.

That’s great. Bernie needed someone to step into his position years ago, though.

Everyone talked a big game about living RGB, but she’s a good example of holding on too long. She died and a conservative Justice was appointed in her place. Meanwhile a conservative Justice stepped down on purpose to allow Trump to appoint younger, more right leaning judges.

If Bernie doesn’t have a replacement lined up, it could severely backfire on us.

He’s too old and needs to pass the torch to someone with more staying power. He can stay on as an advisor or whatever.

Not just him. Even people like Bernie should have stepped down a long time ago. They aren’t raising up their future replacements at all.

The 4chan subreddit gloated about it after the election too, in their sidebar.

Wondering how many of the people on those forums have had their lives negatively impacted by Trump administration 1 and 2.

Convinced that the only way third parties are going to get seats is if they campaign as Republicans or Democrats and then switch after election

they had both house and senate in 2019-2023

From the article:

Control of the Senate shifted over to a 50-50 party split on Wednesday as Democratic Georgia Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock were both sworn in as the 49th and 50th Democratic senators, leaving Vice President Kamala Harris as the deciding vote should the chambers’ votes ever end in a tie.

50-50 split with Republicans potentially posing as Democrats is a pretty weak level of absolute control, but you’re technically correct.

I’ll vote for them because there’s no viable third party option that speaks to me.

They’re also easier to push to more progressive laws.

Also: all the Republicans are pushing trans ads HARD. I’m paying so much more for groceries and they’re airing ads about trans kids. Out of touch asshats.

How so?

Do they have something on her? I’ve never seen something like this before.

My kids will be retirement age before we have a chance to improve our international relations

I remember years ago when he was into legalizing marijuana and I thought he was alright.

Sometimes when you fall, you fall hard I guess.

I don’t believe the polls saying that his approval rating is that low. I also fear that there won’t be a blue wave. I remember the lead up to 2016 and the vibe was similar, wasn’t it?

Feds gonna fedpost?

Good points! It’s been a while since I touched either - my current job is mainly webdeb/fullstacky crap and I haven’t touched c/cpp for years. Miss it though.

Isn’t C++ built on top of C and able to do everything C can and then some? It’s been a while since I’ve coded in it but I remember that being a kind of neat feature in C++. (I’m not searching it to confirm - just chatting about it)

I went to a surgery because I was bleeding from my ass. I was told it was covered. When I got here I was told it wasn’t covered. The doctor said it would be. It wasn’t, because the claim codes were in the wrong order. I should have never went into that surgery.

I’ve been on phone calls with the hospital, the insurance company, the doctor, and the hospital billing office (separate from the hospital and unable to communicate with it for some reason) for well over a year.

My insurance company assured me that it would be taken care of. They then closed the case and opened at least one other internal case where they say it’s not being taken care of.

I pay over 10k out of my paycheck to cover my family. That’s before we hit the 4k family deductible and still have to pay 20% on most services.

God bless the United States healthcare system.
