What I meant to say is "Will have more funding than they could ever dream of. " Small donors do not matter. They will happily take money from normies, but that would never change who they work for.

Do they though? A party that enables and empowers the oligarchy will have all the funding they need. Musk donated north of 270 million to Trump in the last election. Similarly most of he rich tech bros donated to Trump's inauguration fund.

If they take care of the "voting problem" while in office, they have no further need for their base.

I'd stop shopping there if I had a time machine that could take me back to 2003.

The birthday paradox comes to mind.

Unless someone can prove some malicious intent, I think it is just as valid of a birthday as any other day.

The thing Joe Rogan has going for him is that he is friends with funny people and has them on his show. Just scrolling through this guy's stuff it seems like it will just be depressing political news.

It's good that a leftist podcast is getting attention, but unless it is occasionally entertaining I can't do it right now. Oliver and Stewart do a good job of making me laugh at depressing topics.. maybe my elder millennial is showing.

You need to do damage control. Being short in all caps to a friend trying to speak with you is rude. The only real move is to apologize.

Two doses of the measles vaccine are approximately 97% effective at preventing measles. Certainly not 100%, but not too shabby.

Love Bill. The Monday morning podcast got me through the pandemic.

After an onslaught of bad news it's novel to see something positive happening.

Podcasts are super popular right now. Theo Von, Joe Rogan, Kill Tony, Shane Gillis, Matt McCusker all have a huge audience. They are all pro Trump; Tony famously spoke at a Trump rally, and Rogan is constantly pushing a pro conservative message.

Social networks have all gone to the right, as their leadership stands to benefit. Most of our major newspapers and entertainment networks are also owned by billionaires.

They own the messaging right now, and people aren't thinking critically because they are either distracted or don't know how.
