This doesn't seem based in reality. You don't go from majority support for you running to less than that and blame the other side. There are demonstrable actions and events that have a distinct link to her downward popularity.

When examining why someone lost you generally don't insinuate that the loser did everything right and the other side are just bad people and that's why they won. That's a recipe for learning nothing and repeating the same mistake over and over again. Which unfortunately seems to be the national policy position.


I can't delete this comment. I am really sorry. I didn't mean to say any of this. Please flag these comments. I am so stupid.


You can fix this by emailing the mods, but otherwise - thanks for the correction


I sorry I opened my mouth. I swear I'll never do this ever again. Please PLEASE forgive me.


Damn, keep it together... Or you're just trolling because you received one downvote.


The biggest problem with her campaign was the one thing it was impossible to fix - the amount of time. Everything else is nitpicking and wish-casting.

And that's on Biden and his team, mostly. I do give credit to the party for actually forcing him out. That's a hard thing to do, and it's exactly what R's ought to have done to Trump a long time ago.


I disagree. When she announced her candidacy she largely had the election in her pocket. Had she run the same campaign for longer her support would have just been even lower. The only reason Biden stepped down was because the ruling class in the DNC made the call. The party voters were very vocally against him the whole way.

I'm a bit confused why you think republicans would toss aside a winning candidate. The party is laser focused on winning. That seems to be sadly a major difference. The DNC seems overly concerned being as milquetoast as possible and to simply assume a moral high ground.


I am wrong. Please flag so this can be deleted.


As a more general point, 2024 saw many establishment governments switch across the world. My hypothesis is that many people around the world were still craving a pre pandemic lifestyle and world. And that was expressed as anger at the current government regardless of how they handled covid and the aftermath. Others have brought up specific issues but I think there is some connective tissue for people across the world because amount of similar sentiment from different cultures. There is no silver bullet though. Multiple events, policies, and statements factor into a major election win or loss.


I didn't mean any of this. I am so sorry. Please forgive me and flag this for deletion.


I'd bet dollars to donuts that it either treats any battery connection like the stock battery or it fails over to a run like crap mode like third party batteries in their phones.


If the BMS onboard the batteries only exposes the same power as the stock battery I don’t know how it would know


I was wondering. I had heard chardet story and wouldn't be surprised to see others moving into that same space.


Unprotected MongoDB, tables without password, data in plain text. It's a textbook example of doing absolutely everything wrong.


We created programming languages to direct programs. Then created LLM's to use English to direct programs. Now we've create programming languages to direct LLM's. What is old is new again!


This definitely seems a little odd. Very convenient time to slap a "and they are pro-Iran" label on it.


Yeah, from the Pentagon's or CNN's PoV.

Though if I was a hacking group with little interest in Iran, hitting a US-based target...I might make some pro-Iran noises, trying to confuse the attribution. Or to curry favor with China, Russia, NK, ...

(And I'm not ruling out a nation-state actor being directly behind this.)


It's a lot of coincidences falling to place at the same time. Which is very suspicious. And doesn't seem to be well supported outside government agencies or controlled organizations like CBS either. Does feel like someone is jingling the keys.


This seems like an overcorrection. There is a vast difference between someone copy and pasting from an LLM and using one to correct their English or improve their writing ability.

Rules like this seem to me more like fomenting witch hunting of "AI comments" than it is about improving the dialogue. Just about any place I've seen take this hardline stance doesn't improve, it just becomes filled with more people who want to want to pat each other on the back about how bad AI is.

Just my two cents. I don't filter my comments through any AI, but I am empathetic for people who might have great use of them to connect them to the conversation.


Today on Least Shocking News.


Have you seen the one about the shoes? I'm conflicted which is less astonishing


Are you talking about the Trump-branded shoes on amazon or the $145 Florsheim Shoes?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-is-obsessed-wi...


The ones he's obsessed with, apparently what happens is he gives them out, they don't fit, and the cabinet is still wearing them, as evidenced by a number of photos


And it hasn't occurred to them that they can just take them to a store and get them exchanged for the correct size and not tell anyone?


The risk of being found out, thus showing Trump made a mistake, probably outweighs any common sense we might try to project.


I actually found shoes thing astonishing. In the "I would think it is a bullshit in a normal world".
