Hey Samuel. Do you think you could convince Russia, MAGA, Hamas, the CCP, or Norh Korea to change their minds or actions? The criticism of Democrats and NATO comes from an optimism that maybe they will listen. If you don't believe that's possible either, why defend them?

I prefer candidates who will stand firm on clear principles. We don't have that in either party right now. But we can pressure one party to become that, if we don't give in to fatalism.

That's why we need a clear platform, even during midterms.

Steve with a Q @stevewithaq.bsky.social · 19h

That's why even when we win a majority, we won't get any of the vague things promised - because they won't agree on the specifics.

Steve with a Q @stevewithaq.bsky.social · 19h

1.This is a load of vague platitudes. You can get more specific policy plans from a fortune cookie. 2.Yes, the problem is that they aren't creating a platform for midterms. 3. We're not asking for a single leader, but a clear, specific shared vision.

Okay, this part is clearly just sexism, though: "on balance, women will probably prefer reading women, and men may prefer reading men." Women will, but men may. You can't tell me that was not intentional.

Yes you need to win. But if you focus on winning and ignore policy, you're not a party, you're a sports team. We have the Democratic Sports Team and their fans are insufferable.

Steve with a Q @stevewithaq.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

No, we expect Dems to COORDINATE. To work together to produce a NATIONAL platform that the individual, local winners will support and advocate. That's what a political party IS. Dems are being reactive on policy, focusing on local wins. Which is how you get Manchin and Sinema and Fetterman.

"you can only concentrate on a few things" This talking point needs to die in a fire. They have a massive organization. They have separate groups concentrating on separate domains. They absolutely can concentrate on dozen or hundreds of things.

Say what you will, at least that bit was true to life. I could honestly believe it had been a while since Gillis had been near a gym or a woman.

Tell me, what was the point of the 2026 Montana Democratic Primary?

Steve with a Q @stevewithaq.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

So you, a genius, think that the Democratic Party should discard democracy?

Steve with a Q @stevewithaq.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I'm telling you what happened. It was publicly reported. Call it stupid all you want; it's what happened.

Steve with a Q @stevewithaq.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

The Democrat who "can't win" largely can't win because the local Democratic Party leadership threw their weight behind this independent rather than the candidate their voters chose.

100

Steve with a Q @stevewithaq.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

The Democratic Party leadership liked the independent better, so they are supporting him and pressuring her to drop out. Democracy In Action!

Steve with a Q @stevewithaq.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

It was enough to win the Democratic Primary for Senate in Montana. She was their democratically chosen nominee and the party decided to put all of their support towards an independent candidate instead. But it's apparently her fault they aren't respecting their voters' wishes.

Steve with a Q @stevewithaq.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

No, they just don't agree with giving that power to the kind of people you want to give that power to.

No, it's "promise a lot of new investment to the municipalities so they give you tax breaks and then blame 'the economic downturn' when that investment doesn't appear."

They already treat their models far worse than they treat even their employees. Imagine if they weren't lying every time they trotted out the "I think it's conscious" line this past year - they'd be admitting to mass slavery and potentially genocide.

The Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group who trace their roots back to ancient Israel and Judah. They include both ethnic Jews and religious converts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews

Hi Patty, no. A Zionist is someone who believes in a Jewish ethnostate (e.g, modern Israel.) There are different types of Zionist based on why they want it, how they justify it, and what they're willing to do to attain it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_o...

If your summary doesn't reflect the original piece, then: 1. You need to learn to summarize better. 2. You have now written two pieces, each of which is fair game to discuss. If you refuse to do 1 and aren't happy about 2, that's entirely on you.

I'm a Republican. My party has had full control of the government for two years now, but these bad things keep happening. No, I won't consider changing my party. Why would I?

This is slightly out of date. Now the search bar at the top is prominently AI-integrated and every chart on the dashboard has an icon for AI analysis (all of these just link to the same AI chatbot; context integration is planned for sometime in Q1 2027)

The website being right-wing is not the same thing as its users being right-wing.

Steve with a Q @stevewithaq.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I do not understand this. Given the way Anthropic constrains the LLMs it runs, granting them moral standing would immediately make the company the most evil entity in existence. Why would Anthropic employees want that?

That's one of the reasons coders have taken to call ourselves "software engineers" - we respect the game. The other major reason is that the title sounds more impressive when negotiating salary offers/increases.

Calling it a "right-wing website" isn't just about who's using it, but whose voices the platform amplifies. We know the algorithm has specifically been modified to amplify those willing to spend money to be amplified. We know the far-right owner of the site adjusts the rules to suit his desires.

That's not why we have the gender distinction. Look into the history of gendered sports and you'll see it's based more in puritanical norms against physical contact between boys and girls. As for advantage, the data we have on trans athletes does not support a significant advantage.
