- Comment on Are there opposing institutions to things like the Heritage Foundation? Are there liberal policy think-tanks? 1 week ago:
I mean this is a good idea, but the opposite of the question stated. Are there no think tanks to implement liberal solutions as opposed to stopping or fixing conservatives policies.
Why can’t we scheme as well as conservatives?

Wasn’t there a space fight with horses on the wing of a star destroyer in the rise of Skywalker?
- Comment on So how will VP picks be done? 3 months ago:
Ok, but that’s for the EC and for presidential and VP nominees by the EC.
In the dnc we have delegates with 1 vote for their nominee. If the delegates vote for 1 dem and another gets the 2nd amount of votes, then they’d be Pres and VP nominees for the dnc. Or actually do ranked choice for dnc nominees to get voter ranking of nominees.
How is it better for a presidential nominee to pick who they want vs listening to the peoples actual preferences.

How would nominating a dem VP by Dems via voting cause a civil war?
- Comment on So how will VP picks be done? 3 months ago:
And if it’s just for one party vs both, what would that be bad?
I get why it was changed for VP for the dem vs Republican nominee. But why wouldn’t we want, as a party, better representation on who we voted for.

Maybe it’s the time to go back to how things were when the US was founded. We have a vote and top two are President and VP nominees. Keeps the party aligned to what we actually care about and who we think is best, vs who the nominee or party thinks might be best.
More democratic this way
- Comment on Is the blockchain an interesting innovation, aside from cryptocurrencies ? 1 year ago:
I believe there is an initiative by some big banks to push for wire transfers to be done via a blockchain as opposed to slow ach transfers.
They call it quantum computing or something like that… but seemed like it had potential to solve some issues with slow banking
- Comment on Why SAG-AFTRA’s Streaming Revenue Sharing Proposal for Casts Was Flatly Rejected by AMPTP 1 year ago:
Isn’t this one of the rumors Things negotiated during contracts? Like, I’ll take 2 mill upfront, but no residuals, or 200k plus a really good residual.
It’s a risk for the actor and studio. Pay more now or later potentially if it is actually good.
