Please, you’re ignoring that the very obvious deduction that DNC didn’t want an open primary.

[-] Rutty@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

lol. And the DNC didn’t shill for Hilary Clinton in 2016 over Bernie Sanders

I mean, I said Harris was a sure fire way to a Trump presidency. Does that count?

lol, you believe this? I don’t find it hard to believe that they put Biden though a primary, just to have him drop out…

IMO running Harris was the plan from the beginning. You know, which was kind of the problem, hijacking the primary.

I feel like this is a more aggressive one of your pieces.

Viewed from a historical perspective, it’s hard to see how the non-incombent didn’t have a really good advantage.

Hindsight can always be 20/20, and think a Buttigieg/Kelly ticket would have done a bit better. Buttigieg has been in charge of infrastructure, which I believe has been well run. He’s from the rust belt, and is more familiar with the working class vs the candidate with California Progressive with a DA background.

Ultimately though, I think the fault lies with the Democratic Party hijacking the primary process.

… you were saying?

That’s kinda my understanding as well.

Brave/Firefox, although basically reskins, help keep ads at bay.

Kinda Brave/firefox can keep a lot of ads from bogging down things.

I have an iPhone, and I have recently been using Brave. Firefox is a favorite.

I had a volunteer milkweed this year in my small raised bed/container garden.

Early into the season it developed a yellow aphid infestation. I was horrified! They were disgusting things (and far, far too many of them). While I was interested in an insect garden, I was worried spread to nearby plants, specifically my prized blackberries, affecting yields.

I researched and treated the aphid infestation with Neem Oil and basically killed the living population. Success!

Or so I thought…

After I traveled for about a month, I returned to see the aphids had rebounded in full force.

An interesting thing though, neither had they spread to other plants.

Even more interesting there were ladybugs, there were beetles, there were wasps, there was even a praying mantis.

I wouldn’t say the milkweed is super happy about the arrangement, but it is growing, and it was a volunteer into the garden.

Overall it’s been the best plant of the season by far teaching me a little bit about ecosystems.

TLDR: my aphid infestation totally allowed my predator insect population to boom
