You're telling me these people might be procorporate trash in disguise?? No. No I won't believe it. /s

This language was added by Democrats.

Procorporate trash. All of them

That profit worked out to be about 0.6% rate of return on a loan to failing businesses on the verge of bankruptcy. Do you know anybody on the verge of bankruptcy who's ever received a loan with rates like that?

Taxpayers would have been better off holding onto the company stock and receiving a portion of the profits today.

We were robbed.

you are attempting to hold me to a different standard than moderates and liberals.

Buddy, stop.

What you're doing isn't clever, nor effective. You need to hold a mirror up to what you're doing and realize you are attempting to hold me to a different standard than moderates and liberals. Let me know when you're ready to hold them accountable and bring us both to the table. All you're doing here is trying to do what people like you always do: Get progressives and leftists to give up anything and everything while giving moderates and liberals a free pass.

No. Biden cannot have my vote until something changes.

Again, ask moderates and liberals that question. And then ask them if Trump is such a danger why didn't they fume at Biden for blocking the rail strike? Or raising the defense budget? Or forcing federal workers back to the office? Or going around Congress to ship weapons to Gaza? Why didn't they do anything in support of progressives and leftists for the past three years?

Why is it the people who have gotten fucked over by Biden are being told to vote for him rather than telling Biden, moderate voters and liberal voters they cannot win elections on their own and thus they must make material compromises with the people they're depending on?

You're trying to squeeze blood from a stone here. I'm telling you I'm done propping up procorporate trash candidates for moderate and liberal voters. If they would rather lose to MAGA than make material compromises with leftists and progressives that's on them.

If Biden really believes Trump is such a a danger then he should be on his knees begging for votes. Or is his ego worth more than democracy?

you should give it to him anyway because it’s in your best interest to do so.

No.

Focus your lectures on moderates and liberals for once in your goddamn life. I'm done being held to a different standard.

Rather than calling us names how about making material compromises with us?

Explain something to me. How can you simultaneously believe we don't vote but care that we don't vote? Biden won the 2020 general election so if we didn't vote for him then who cares if we won't vote for him in 2024?

So which is it?

Ok? Then Biden should be begging for votes, doing anything within his power to get progressive and leftist votes and telling moderates and liberals to get over themselves.

No? Oh so just more of the same finger wagging from the usual suspects convinced that one more lecture should do the trick.

We don't talk about bubble jet.

Bitcoin: An excel spreadsheet a bunch of people agree on.
Machine Learning: Electrons in a room banging on typewriters.
Blockchain: A marketing term for linked lists.

Campaigns for trans rights, sure. But wealthy people being trans, not so much.

Campaigns funded by... who?

Lol. I gave a counter argument that had nothing to do with NFTs that blew up your home brewed understanding of what digital ownership is and then you turn around and accuse me of ignorance?

Just because digital content is on your device doesn't mean you own it. That's the case for digital movies, music, books and so forth and has been long before NFTs were even a thing. This isn't up for debate. Until you acknowledge that there's no point in even having a conversation.

Again, that's obviously not how ownership works. You can download movies and music too. Doesn't mean you own them. If your argument is "it doesn't stop piracy" I'm not disagreeing with that.

If you're questioning the value of digital receipts for monkey images I'm not disputing that. For me that's on par with beanie babies, postage stamps and other odd things people collect. I don't have to be excited about the current application to be excited about the fact that it works and what that means it could be used for in the future.

And of course, it would make sense that such a system wouldn't be used for something significantly important like property deeds or car registrations right away. NFTs are just another phase of demonstrating the capabilities.

I’m just saying wealth isn’t a big factor.

Why? It's a big factor in everything else in this country. What makes trans rights immune from monetary influence?
