California is a safe D for president. Electoral college system means that all that matters is how individual states vote independently. Most states give all of their electoral college "points" to the winner of the state. California is one of those states. It is the Red states with republican governors and congresses that gerrymander, voter purge, and voter suppress their "blue Urban" areas into having 4 hour voting wait lines.

I heard the word "LZ should be executed" from "media report".

Trump could be in military jail for either the documents theft case, and leak of attack plans on Iran, or nuclear secrets. Jan 6th insurection call. He could be in military jail for foreign interference "daily calls" with Netanyahu.

There's 2 explanations:

  1. The DNC is a fundraising first organization as opposed to power first. It always selects the most zionist neocon candidates to get its fair share of fundraising, while not that concerned about losing to even more Israel first political opposition.

  2. Trump seems like the ideal candidate for Biden/DNC to run against. He lost last time, and has only gotten more unhinged. But an Israel crisis has meant massive money for him to help "finish the job" without concern for those radical left ideas about "genocide bad" or even keeping together the middle east alliance that props up Israel.

The supreme court gave wide leeway to use executive power to deal with "enemies within". DNC/Biden response is "let's hope for a fair election against a fascist" but not use those powers ourselves.

There is still a 2 month period after election under which to jail and epstein him. That should have been done in 2021.

If California was 65 Dem, 5 third party, GOP 30, it's still a signal against GOP compared to 70 30 split. It is more of a signal for Dems to not keep ratcheting to the right.

I agree to not vote 3rd party in PA or MI.

AIPAC is tiny compared to some of the Super PACs out there.

They all need to be AIPAC allies if they want influence. Israel usually gets little funding compared to the theft provided to other lobbyists. Oil industry spoke out very strongly against university protests against genocide, for example. Vowing to never hire any graduates from those schools. AIPAC funded record primary spending against democrats who "supported a ceasefire". A politician can love their other lobbyists/interest groups as long as they love Israel too.

Cabinet appointments are subject to AIPAC veto. Then have influence on hires. Israel replaced Netanyahu as PM for about a week. New guy said he didn't understand need to fund/support Ukraine... Gone.

US and EU have sanctioned Venezuela

EU and South American states are vassal colonies, subject to US dictates on minor things. backing up US propaganda never validates it.

CIA, and to an extent State/Defense departments have an inertia of Zionist/neocon/(nazi = anti-communist) appointments, and career officials that must report to them. AIPAC is not only the swing funder of politicians, it determines who gets appointed and congressional approval for the appointments.

Ridiculously high/record rainfall amounts have happened several times this year. Catastrophic floods in multiple locations. Well above the typical worst flood of the year in a given year. Brazil had one I've never seen as bad. And OP's picture is just insanely bad as well.

That's a completely fair compromise. Those radical leftist democrats are just overreacting and mean by calling the ad unhinged demonic fascism. The radical communist traitors to our country need to bring more civil discourse to politics.

Jen told me the stupid science oven kills the nutrients in our food. Jen read stuff. But then Jen burned the house down after being told to not put metal in the science oven.

UBI is needed for power redistribution more than wealth redistribution. Sure, one good reason is the employment displacement from robotics/ai. But a robot tax is far inferior to general income taxes. Beyond your examples, pipes and wires into your home are automation. Machines with human operators are automation as well.

Even if you were to only tax the robot users, what about those who get rich from building yachts for the robot users?

China has a big lead in robotics because nearly all manufacturing is done there. That is there massive competitive advantage in EVs as an example. As a national competitiveness, and consumer prices, measure, incentivizing people to go collect their water from a nearby river, and heating wood from nearby trees, and otherwise committing to full employment through less automated processes, is a massive decline in standard of living.

UBI does let you create your own job. Sales and design will always be needed, even if design is inputs into an AI prompt. Without the disempowerment of warmongering rulership, AI will serve the disinformation and murder needs of that rulership. UBI/freedom dividends funded by taxes on extreme income is the path to make the winners pay for human sustainability instead of human extermination.
