      One of the two is going to win the election. It’s not like if you sit it out, nobody wins. At this point, all you can influence is which one. Trump is a far worse option in pretty much every category.

        There’s two conflicting metrics:

        • The state of the country for the next 4 years if the GOP gets in this year
        • The state of the country forever if the dems aren’t held accountable

        The fact that the dems are willing to play chicken with the entire country and would rather see it fall into the hands of MAGA than let go of their precious genocide says a whole lot about their motivation.

        If that faction of the party is allowed to prevail, there won’t be any point. They need to learn their lesson, fast. They can either cooperate now, or get their ass thrown out of power in november. Their choice.

          I think you’re misguided if you think Trump’s damage would be limited to four years. How many years of damage will we suffer just from his current three supreme court pics?

          Plus, you make it sound like Biden could wave a wand and change everything in Gaza. He is applying pressure, but the situation is more complicated than you imply.

            It’s really simple: demonstrate that he has some kind of moral principles. Some atrocity he refuses to countenance, some red line he will not cross. Some point at which he’ll say “you know what, no, we’re not going to be part of this, we’re out.”

            It might not stop them, but it would show he wasn’t an actual monster.

            Which is a pretty low fucking bar, tbh.

      Yes – which is why people in-the-know who are training neural nets periodically get frustrated and say “You know what, this thing’s not producing the results I want, it did something really wrong as a matter of fact. Fuck it, I’m going to stop applying a gradient in the direction of better results, until it gets its act together.”

      Oh and also the neural net is physically in charge of all of our lives in this example
