General Discussion

I'm certainly more than fine with people scrutinizing who is funding politicians, but the APAIC thing is weird. Not that they're being criticized - by all means, go for it. But that it's being focused on to the exclusion of all else. That it is the one and only litmus test. Tech, AI, and crypto have been buying politicians at a discount, and that's going to have a far more profound effect on what this country - and even the world - is going to look like over the next twenty to thirty years. It's crazy, particularly if you are for the working classes as claimed. But every time I turn around, there's APAIC and raised eyebrows about "Zionists" lurking in the background with their "Zionist" money. And . . . it's very late 19th Century is all I'm saying. I studied history and read all this stuff - not just the cherry picked events and versions of events people yoink to support their ideology. It just all sounds familiar. From Edward I to 2026. The rhetoric rings in rhyme.

I know exactly which candidate you're talking about. One of things that kind of surprised me is that Platner got all that attention, and I was watching this other person like, "Do y'all not see them?" Because they are so. much. worse.

But for the sake of comity in the upcoming election, I left that one entirely alone. It's New York, so whatever. But Republicans will have a field day with that. Fortunately, I think Trump has tanked the country so hard that it's not really going to help them in November.
