You make a lot of claims and generalize from there, but I am not sure what specifics you are talking about. In the specific case of Kamala, it seems she was right and got her way (breaking news). So really, your point (which I am not sure if it goes beyond personal attacks) is rendered moot.

Huh, I guess you can do just about anything if you're willing to pay the political cost.

Damn straight! Us software developers know better because we're expected to learn any domain. Obviously the government works a lot like software and that makes me a theoretically political scientist.

Nancy came out as for an open primary. AOC is warning her ilk about why that's a bad idea, and making sure her constituents know it.

Those suggesting other candidates should probably address the three issues AOC brought up:

  • Endorsements doesn't transfer
  • Campaign contributions doesn't transfer
  • Possible state level shenanigans by GOP to keep candidates chosen after some technicality off ballot

None of these issues exist if Biden simply steps down.

Don't worry, Nancy wants Newsom to be the candidate.

If my house is on fire I couldn't care less as long as they save my kids. Being a genuine asshole doesn't deserve that fate.

You did not just fall out of a coconut tree. You exist in a context of all that came before you.

Clinton was a rightward leap of the Democratic party. In reality the left and right move in response to each other, but the direction it goes is not fixed.

Elon: The EV market has soured on me, I'm willing to trade the tax credits for something...

Don: I got just the thing: you can sell SpaceX satellites to the Russians

Elon: Perfect!

I love it when terrible people do terrible things to their own wealth. What I don't love is how after a certain number of billions, you have an infinite wealth cheat code to fuck around with.
