How to admit to being ok with an authoritarian takeover without actually saying it.

I was referring to FDR and the Dems dominating the House for decades.

I agree with taking popular positions, but the strongest the party has ever been is when they were progressive and farther to the left. The Dems continue to weaken over time as they become more corporate and try to take "middle" ground positions. I'd be fine with moderate positions, especially on the culture war nonsense the GOP keeps getting them to take the bait on. Moderate economic policy is mostly to the left of both parties these days though.

Yeah, what the Dems really need is to double and triple down on the advice of the Third Way leadership that lost twice to Trump. I'm sure that will totally resonate with voters.

Counter point: FDR was the most popular President in history and the Dems held the House for decades on his policies. I'm not opposed to moderate positions if they have a plan and policies. But mostly we get politicians that try for the "middle", which is rudderless and just trying to curry votes. Only very charismatic politicians like Obama can win this way. Voters have seen through this for the most part.

That's what they should do. But as @Lorewarn posted, the Dems will find a way to "rebrand" or some other feckless approach without actually making any changes. They'll double and triple down on the same stupidity that lost to Trump twice.

As a Tesla owner, I sure do hope Elon gets the boot.

I've pressed teach on this before. He encourages genocide to "solve" conflicts.

Apparently, Trump voters do because none has admitted to voting for Trump. (nic has implied that he did but hasn't come out and said it, so maybe 1 total.)

And then when something changes or something new is learned, we have to count on Congress to get around to changing the law? Even if Congress was trying very hard to do this (they do the opposite actually), it'd never work because there are far too many things that needs laws like this. It's why the bureaucracy is necessary even if it isn't perfect - or at least some type of authority to manage things that doesn't require new laws written and rewritten all the time.

Any of the GOP supporters want to tell us about how this works with the 1st Amendment?

This.

Old homies now

I haven't heard "homie" in a long time - a long time...

Byron has apparently forgotten the GOP adopted a policy to block Obama at all costs: https://www.politico.com/story/2010/10/the-gops-no-compromise-pledge-044311 Turnabout is apparently no longer fair play.

They do have emergency diesel generators but run them very rarely (mostly for maintenance or drills), which is why I used the word "enough". Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I'm sure that company refused to sell the US Navy fuel, but I very much doubt that changed Navy current operations, especially a nuclear powered submarine. Might have an impact on long term logistics.

The nuclear powered sub doesn't need refueling enough to "turn back". This report needs some clarification.

Keyboard shenanigans

No, it's that it frequently gives wrong answers because it doesn't actually understand anything. It's just parroting it's training data. It's quite useful as a tool that a person who knows the answer can then fix the results. But never trust the information it tells you.

There usually is

I know too much about how AI works to ever trust it or rely on it.
