  • Musk and Vivek haven’t learned the lesson yet. Trump can do whatever he wants, but he can’t say whatever he wants.

    The few times Trump has been booed by the faithful is when he’s deviated from the MAGA dogma. You can import all the workers you want, but you have to say you’re deporting everyone. As long as Trump claims he’s rounding up all the immigrants and getting rid of them if you try to confront MAGATs with doubling H1B visa numbers they’ll scream “fake news”, no matter how much evidnece they’re shown.

    These people are stupid, but they need to be pandered to.










  • I think you’re misunderstanding them.

    A “yes” vote means no slavery. This was a prop to make forced prison labor illegal. Our voter guides contain arguments for and against propositions and rebuttals to those arguments, usually. No group even bothered to make an argument against the prop or a rebuttal to the argument for. They’re also saying, in general not just this prop, if no one can even be bothered to make an argument for one side, they’ll probably go with the only side that did make one. In this case that would be no slavery.

    This was weird. There are always arguments both ways unless it’s just some editorial change to some law that for whatever reason has to go before the voters. This was totally non-controversial, or at least it seemed that way. I don’t understand how it didn’t pass.
