There were only 428 total votes for DNC chair election. “Enough people” is apparently about the same size as a school board election.

Just waiting for my passport to come in.

I’m not proposing anything because there’s nothing to propose.

Either party leadership will realize the error of its ways or it won’t. Maybe they’ll listen to the folks flooding their phone lines and town halls and maybe they won’t. Maybe some of those folks will run for office and try to change the system from the inside, maybe they’ll just become another part of it.

In any case, the next election is a long way off. So long as the only acceptable opposition to the Republicans has to be mediated by Democrats, then we don’t get don’t get to have any real input 'til voting day.

Why would anyone have bothered to waste money running against the presumptive nominee? Especially when the party went out of its way to conceal Biden’s unsuitability for the position until the first debate of the general election made the illusion impossible to maintain.

No, the non-primary was on purpose. Biden didn’t want to have to pass the torch at the end of a single term and the party let him have the nom because he was president.

It’s a bit easier with cacti especially if you aren’t overwatering them. Succulents are a lot more susceptible to rot.

You’ve gotta let the broken end callus over before you can propagate succulents from leaves. Exposing the wounded tissue to soil before it finishes scabbing up makes it almost certain that you’ll lose the leaf to fungi.

So we didn’t have a primary because Biden was the presumptive nominee… who was later removed long after it was obvious he had no chance.

Sounds very Democratic.

Lets be generous and assume that the blades of your turbine are 1 square meter.

Looking at the map, we can see that the entire Seattle area has an average ground level wind energy density of maybe 50 watts per square meter.

Assuming that the windmill is twice as efficient as every other windmill and can extract 70% of that wind energy, we can estimate that your windmill will output roughly 35 watts of energy on average, enough to slow-charge a laptop, for a total of about 25 kWh per month.

The average American home uses more than 850 kWh per month, so it’d need at least 35 of these twice-as-good-as-normal windmills. A more realistic figure would be “more than 75”.

75 * $320 = $24k, more than twice the price of the average solar install in the Seattle area.

Look at Seattle and tell me which parts have enough wind power for your home windmill:

Why not skip the middleman and go straight solar, then?

Did you not look at the specs on that product? It only produces energy when winds are above 7mph and don’t actually hit the rated output unless the winds are almost 35mph.

Almost none of the country averages an amount of wind power per square meter equivalent to the rating on home turbines at 10 meters above ground level (yellow and red on this map):

Compare to this map of average insolation:

Is the “Not Perfect” party even going to hold a primary this time or does Harris get it by default like Biden last year?

It used to be awful, I’d end up repeating the last thing I said in my head over and over 'til there was something else I needed to process verbally.

Asking for evidence of illegal activity is totally not what a spook would do, right?

I’m still hoping for another season.

Spotted the bootlicker.

Go on strike and block Republicans from entering congress.

So you agree that it’s wrong, but you think it should be encouraged anyway?

For one, it can get you thrown into a gulag by U.S. border patrol, or jailed in any of the states and countries that require one’s birth certificate to match a bathroom door sign.

For another, it’s all the evidence that bigots in positions of power need to assume someone is trans, and people who are thought to be trans face deadly levels of harassment for that alone.

For literally anyone whose appearance doesn’t match their birth certificate regardless of if they are cis or trans.
