I'm 100% trying this on my 9-year-old next time he tells me he's bored. It'll be a gentle smack, of course...

Maybe you should poll people outside your social circles?

Turnout matters, though. Biden in 2020 won more votes than any presidential candidate in history, but the second place winner was Trump in 2020. There will be similar loyalty to Trump on the right in 2024, and if Biden can't match that, he loses. So I'm not afraid of the youth vote either, but I am afraid of the lack of it.

How much does their paid staff cost?

State government doesn't operate on a volunteer basis.

They don't want this! Control comes with responsibility and is expensive. Twitter is already there, has been there for a long time, and still has the users and the mindshare. It's still the logical choice for organizations wanting to reach the widest audience.

Fortunately that last bit does seem to be changing. It's not happening as fast as many of us think it should, some prominent organizations have left X. Hopefully more will continue to do that, but calling the stragglers fascists, as was done earlier in this thread, is not a productive way to engage.

Want a new law? Repeal 2 others.

Mindless platitudes like this accomplish nothing but to trivialize the legitimate complexity of the large scale organization.

It's a perfectly reasonable career. The fact that you're even saying this just shows how successful the American right's undermining of the government has been.

Hiring non-profesionals for a job is not a recipe for successful execution of that job's responsibilities.

My goodness, Dennis Hastert doesn't even make the list?

It's not discontinued. They backed away from that plan in favor of a battery tech refresh. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/07/gm-announces-a-new-ultium-based-chevrolet-bolt-during-q2-report/

Use what works for you.

People on lemmy really seem to spend a lot of time thinking and talking about reddit. Why is that?

I'd totally eat that. Seems like cooking the actual brownies should happen later in the process, though, no?
