Both sides are the problem. A 2 sided problem is the problem. Needs to be no sides, or 30 sides.
Example in any given house/senate control, it only takes about 5-10% hold out of any given side to stagnate any progress.
Like the worst person in a group project. No parties.
Maybe - but if you want to change the view of the democrats you need to go in with something better.
1.) Term limits
2.) War funding
3.) Spend cuts
If you want to win/change the history, you have to change to improve your image.
The 'do nothing' dems got Trump elected
Get rid of all parties, period. You run on America, as policies and beliefs. And you represent the people you work for, objectively. You vote with your people. Get rid of the Dems/reps. This shit is stupid.
The problem with a 3rd party is that it has the same power dynamics as the Dems and Reps. Everyone wants to leverage the party for their own personal power
What is needed is a path to get candidates on a ballot, and allow them to get support based on what they commit to doing for their constituents, no party involved.
Any ideas from anyone ?
This is still crazy. We have 100 senators total...8 were <50 years old. Average age in the USA is 39...we still only have 15 of 100 that are <50...average age is 65. The average age is retirement age. GET THEM ALL OUT.
This tweet triggered a thought: The concept of blue/red still is the worst thing America does. This idea that a senator is "blue" changes how anyone votes for president is the stupidest way to handle things. The fear mongering, hate & blame is stupid.
People first, party never.
If Texas turns blue, there’s a real possibility we could go a very long time without seeing another Republican president in the White House.
Texas has been one of the biggest electoral strongholds for Republicans. Losing it would fundamentally change the political landscape of this country. That’s the reality.
But guys, it'll trickle down...swear.
THE LABOR DEPARTMENT JUST DROPPED NEW WAGE DATA AND IT'S BRUTAL.
Corporate profits up 47% since 2020.
Worker wages up 12% in the same period.
Meanwhile groceries up 35%, rent up 40%, utilities up 28%.
Your paycheck grew 12%. Your bills grew 35%.
The math is simple: you're getting poorer every year even when you get a raise.
You can't budget your way out of this. The system is designed so your income can never catch up to your expenses.
That's not an accident. That's policy.
One of the real problems we have with government in California is how Prop 40, 41, 42 are interlinked.
No Govt that serves its people should A) have them written that way B) have them as separate props C) have them independently enforcable.
Prop 42 passing is unbelievable.
No matter if you watch the voting outcomes tonight...they'll not change the outcomes. Remember the outcome is what matters, not how the story changes.
For every person that "doesn't follow politics" or "doesn't care" your decisions or lack thereof affect others. Your voice isn't heard, while also subsequently elevating others to be more valuable.
Its the only time we have to fight for what we most closely believe in. go vote.
It's Election Day Eve.
Nearly time to go to the polls to put some coal in the two-party system's stocking.
Here are the real gifts for voters: forwardparty.com/candidates/
GO VOTE!
Once I got to this level of understanding it made the world more amazing to witness/observe.
We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years.
Right now, the Sun is carrying Earth and every planet around the center of the Milky Way at 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), more than 18,000 kilometers every 80 seconds.
Because the Solar System is tilted 60.2° to the galactic plane and bobs up and down through the galactic disc roughly every 30 million years, the planets trace open 3D corkscrew helices across deep space rather than flat loops.
The last time the Sun stood where it stands today, one Galactic Year (230 million years) ago, the very first dinosaurs were only beginning to appear on Earth. Since forming 4.6 billion years ago, our Sun has completed only 20 laps.
Lot of people trying to knock @GrantHorvatGolf for not wanting the ball, but I applaud it. If you're off your game, and your recognize it, its better to say it or be the reverse (over confident and not perform). Glad @RRuffels and the team instilled confidence and he performed.
If this is real...holy shit, lol
The ranking members of the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees have written a letter to President Trump asking whether he has been soliciting advice from Grok in order to help carry out his official duties as President of the United States.
They also demanded that he preserve any prompts sent to Grok, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, as well as outputs in response to those prompts, that were 'submitted to AI chatbots in carrying out your constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties.'
The letter was provided by Politico.
If you've ever thought - why does the government pay for this, but not for that? and you actually want to learn how things work at the federal level. Please read this book:

Golf twitter - what are your thoughts on golfers that only post competition scores. Guy in my flight shot gross 69 as a 5 PH...checked his last 20 and it goes back to 2022 - nearly all comp scores...
Certified bagger? @YipStrickler
If lawmakers don't create some version of a tiered "anti-AI" tax law this shit is going to be bad.
I.e. for companies to declare, via audit, how much AI is used, based on its use, you get tiered tax. The more you use, the more tax you pay, no loopholes.
This is why I love gamers. Some of them master every bit of knowledge how an engine and vectors work within the game. Then they go on to teach you how to maximize it to better yourself. youtube.com/watch?v=fnLDpt39…
This has a lot of validity, for many subjects and utility. But the truly smart, the truly ultra smart can also dumb down their ideas to 60 IQ - its a separate measure of smart.
You literally cannot sell to someone more than 30 IQ points below you
To them you sound like a guy talking weird & weird means scam
This is why your 160 IQ friend is broke & some 115 with a podcast has a Lambo
115 is the richest IQ on earth. Smart enough to see the play, dumb enough to explain it so 100 million people get it
The genius is writing 9 paragraphs about "incentive structures" to an audience of 40
If you're actually smart, the most profitable thing you can do is hire a 115 to talk for you
If you're a 115, shut up & enjoy it
