  • Putting Bernie in would help Democrats in an area where they’re weakest, so they’d never do that.

    Realistically, I’m pretty sure even Bernie has said he’s too old to be president (could have been propaganda). Not a lot better, but i’d still probably vote for Elizabeth Warren if she was on the ticket. I did always feel like a lot of her ideas were either piggybacked from Bernie or kind of lacking in substance but that could be personal bias somewhere on my part or just the way the media portrayed her. Even then, it did always feel like she was headed to a good place.

    Warren isn’t an option either though, the real reason is that the party wants an establishment candidate that won’t jeopardize the way things are run. They’ll never let anyone progressive run on the ticket again.






  • There’s a lot of books out there that I think are famous because they’re exceptionally shitty just in a different way than is typical. Same way I personally feel about Ulysses, It’s not a literary puzzle, it’s just a shitty book where the author tried something stupid and then just kinda kept going. I think Nabokov is a bit more effective, but it’s along the same vein.







  • Anything reaching those kind of numbers is probably a music video or some sort of nursery rhyme set to music. Youtube is mostly a music service.

    Beyond that, there’s a grammarly ad that hit over 500 million views, wonder how much they spent on that and a lot of random memes. It’s real difficult to find the most viewed real non-music, non-kids, non-ad video. Probably still Charlie Bit my Finger (again). Except Mr Beast, not many others regularly topping 100M.






  • Germany and to a lesser extent Italy were supplying a significant portion as well and it’s likely others would step up if they pulled out. Probably with worse prices and worse hardware, but we’re not at risk globally of running out of places to buy weapons. It’s horrible what is happening to Palestinian civilians in gaza, but in the end, the US armament supplies aren’t strictly required to enable Israel.
