In a capitalism hellscaoe, you're not far off. However a soup kitchens purpose is to feed people. A scammers purpose is to scam.

A political partys purpose is to get their members elected and pass legislation together. An individual politician can have similar but different purposes, but the parties purpose is clear. In this case, unlike the soup kitchen, the Dems are failing in their purpose.

If the American voter is a moron, as you proposed, then is the smarter party the one that treats them like a moron, yet gets elected. Or the party that says they are not, treats them like an educated adult but loses elections to someone like Trump. Multiple times. While calling those that vote for him garbage. Well, garbage fought back and kicked them out. Now Trump will kick them while they are down but blame immigrants and the deep state.

Voter's have failed us. The Dems have failed us. The justice system has failed us.

Trump has highlighted the fragility of the system. The Dems have had multiple years to fix some of it. They did none. Then they ran a mediocre candidate in the same vein as Hilary, who failed against Trump before.

Voter's need to realise that if they disagree with the Dems, voting for the GOP is not necessarily a better option. Voting third party is worse than voting someone you disagree with.

The Dems need to realise that they won't get Republican voters to vote for them. They should try to excite and plan for the voters based on good policy. Trying to play both sides gets you neither side. Be progressive or leave the Dems and be a Republican. There is no moderates in either side when one side is not negotiating in good faith.

Let the voters choose between two alternative visions. Not one vision, or the same vision with a racist demagogue at the front.

It's scary times ahead. However, it's been scary times for years now, so we are all used to it. Maybe that's the problem. We all want change. Trump promises it. He's just promising disruptive change without a coherent plan. Where is the Dems coherent plan for change?

There is enough blame to go around. However, voters as a bloc is a more nebulous concept than a voter or party.

Albo is less honest than we’d all like, but scomo hasn’t told a truth in his lifetime.

Yes, it they still don’t want the status quo, so they would not have been happy either way. The point is that the party proposing a change can scoop up votes of those wishing for change, which is most people.

Biden didn’t win on no change. He won on change from trumps presidency. Change wins. Proposals win. Stability is good, but if people don’t feel stability, like with runaway inflation, or a recent global pandemic, or a recent trump presidency, then saying things are stable and good is not a winner. They are not.

If only journalism was this blunt at an earlier point than after he won, again.

I don’t play a lot of open world games. But, sf6 takes an age to load before you even try to match. I expected almost instant, similar to a cartridge console.

LLM are already good at tone for letters etc. As much as it may not be 100%, I’d say it’s close. Using flowery language is not necessarily better. However, I don’t think I’ve ever read a Dutch book translated to English. If this makes art more accessible across language barriers, I’m all for it.

You mean in military aid or are you trying to muddy the waters? Humanitarian aid is the opposite of military aid. Without the military aid to Israel, it may be they don't need as much in Palestine.

Similar for Facebook, Microsoft etc. It will be interesting to see how long before they start to lose market dominance, or how anti trust laws work worldwide.
