Send in bucket.

We have an electoral college. The entire reason they exist was to prevent an uneducated electorate from electing a tyanical demagogue. And yet here we are. Because the electoral college is made out of THE SAME UNEDUCATED MASSES. How was that supposed to work?

Don't statisticians try and account for biases like that and thus may have been accurate the first time around?

Awesome job!

So first you said they only handle primaries. Nowhere did I even see the word primary, but the list of responsibilities went far beyond handling elections. You ignored section D entirely, which I posit is a leadership role. You have no understanding that people can function as leaders and exhibit leadership skills regardless of official hierarchies, titles, and positions.

And finally, you are making my point for me. The party has laughable unity and leadership. If the DNC is responsible for the candidates that comprise the party, why shouldn't I blame them for building a headless party?

Yeah, you can take in beauty anywhere, even a plastic bag floating in the wind. It's more a mind set. If you deliberately look for goodness and beauty, you'll find it. I could stroll down 5th avenue NYC and look up and be in awe of the towering monuments to human ingenuity and grit all around me. Or I can take that same walk and fixate in on litter and grumble.

Yeah! Also WHAT FUCKING MONEY DO YOU THINK THEY CAN SPEND?

I like that. It makes the fight to keep breathing another day something not strictly out of selfishness. Because you're right, if everyone stopped fighting those fights we'd lose a lot of people, not just trans ppl, and yeah, the world would be solely populated by hard uncaring Viltrumites.

Kindness must persevere.

Anecdotal of course, but I'd nullify and am from NY and most ppl I know would as well. This is one of those few things that surpasses political divides due to just how unhappy ppl are with our healthcare system.

I come from a family of doctors. My older bro surgeon was telling me how weird it was to see even doctors celebrating the murder of someone, when they routinely save the lives of scumbags. That's how reviled health insurance companies are. Doctors would rather happily save the life of a shot gangbanger over a CEO who makes sport of trading lives for money. They attribute far more deaths to him and hold him accountable for lives lost that could have been saved.

The only industry where you do your job, save lives, and then have to beg to be paid regularly, often needing to argue on the phone on a patient by patient basis, wasting yet more time from doctors. Have to employ whole departments of people whose only job is to talk to insurance companies and get permission for everything ahead of time (prior authorizations) and then an entire other team who will still appeal the claims when they inevitably get denied (medical billers). And then they STILL need to talk to the doctor directly to argue in what's call Peer to Peer, where the doctor now has to argue against another doctor employed by the insurance company. They have to argue with a doctor who represents the insurance company instead of human life. Mind boggling.

It's a completely shit show.

Ah yes, for comparison my parents was built year 2000. 22 year difference in quality!

Morality is subjective. But it's an interesting question. It sounds like the obvious answer should be yes, but who decides what is moral?

Even if we go by what the majority thinks, does that automatically make it moral? There was a time when the moral thing was to burn witches at the stake. We'd call that immoral today.

This feels like a can of worms.

There might have been advances to that tech, maybe it's better thermally regulated now. My parents house had it in the kitchen and I think it was relatively new concept when house was built, I found the heat to be a bit uneven, a bit uncomfortable in some spots.
