That's a good idea. He made a good point about it being a waste of time for Harris even though it doesn't seem like it would be on the surface, but I think he's just so convincing in favor of Harris and this is what he's doing with his time now anyway so that would be incredibly helpful.

True. Which is also what the government does when you vote. Before there was social media there were (and still are) dossiers of every voter and how they voted. Ever ask yourself why they constantly encourage people to go out and vote without regard to who or what specifically? THAT'S the reason why.

Sam, this is from someone who has been a part of your “audience” since “The End of Faith.” I’ve listened to you for a long time. You have changed, and I don’t mean that in a good way. The quality of your thinking has gone down. I’m not referring to WHAT you think. I’m referring to HOW you think. You have become very arrogant and impervious to constructive criticism. (Maybe you’ve always been this way and I failed to notice). An example of that is you dismissing out of hand the “elitist” charge in your new Substack column. What you fail to realize is that people are actually being polite when they use that word. Your problem is worse than that. I pray and hope you grow as a person. You haven’t stagnated in your growth, you’ve regressed.

[@pocket83squared]

The fact that you see it as a "sweet moment" should be an indication of how immoderate your position has become. You're here trying to gloat a victory, when at best you should see it as tragic that you were forced to give such a shameful candidate your vote. Go ahead, have your moment, and rub it in like it's something to be proud of; but you've just helped to (re)elect the least Presidential President in this country's history. And soon, now that there's a super-duper majority being held by a religious morality across all three branches of our government, it's going to be a bitter moment for many more of us. Maybe you could pray for us nonbelievers, because we're about to forced back into hiding. But at least you owned the libs, right?

[@petermuller6359]

@@pocket83squared Most of your believes and assumptions are obviously wrong and outright delusional, hence your current meltdown. You are also wrong about me: As a foreigner I could not vote and as an atheist I do not pray. I'm more into meditation. But I must admit, I absolutely enjoy liberal meltdowns, and nothing is sweeter than liberal tears. Yes, this character flaw is nothing to be proud of... But l'm of the firm believe that occasional and well targeted gloating has a place. And in this partucular instance, I will develop it into an art form: l can't walt for Sam's post election comment. I will treat myself tö a glass of Laphroig single malt, open my favourite dark chocolate (85%), light a candle or two, have Mozart's finest in the background - and then I will enjoy Sam's post election ramblings to the fullest. Ahhh! i will let the single malt, the chocolate, the music and Sam's ramblings compliment each other to an orgastic crescendo. All the while I will lie in a well tempered bath tub and smoke a fat joint. It will be heavenly!. I do not endulge in gloating often. But when I.do, I might just as well celebrate it in style. And whenever Sam spews out his hatred against Trump in the years to come, I will gently close my eyes, take a deep breath - and smile.

As I've said: have and enjoy your moment, but if that gloat is the desperate surrogate for asking me honestly it seems, then I'll have to admit that you're pitiable. You don't even approach smug, kid. The smoke is clouding your judgment, because rubbing it in _is_ a meltdown, and you have no cause for celebration.

Worst case scenario, whatever she does wrong, can most likely be reversed, hopefully. At least she IS normal. The orange man is just insane and unpredictable - and now he’s got 4 years of experience in government and how it works, and nothing to lose. Along with more sycophants ready to share in the fealty of the Trump cult, their country be damned. And he has the Supreme Court. Yikes.

I completely agree. People don't realize how influential his show has been, for good or bad. He is one of the reasons Elon Musk became such a media personality. His show is kind of like fashion - it starts out being on the edges and then the ideas on there become mainstream but the general population doesn't know where things started. If Kamala Harris had agreed to the interview, maybe Joe would not have given a ringing endorsement of Trump. at the very least. I think his podcast became dangerous after covid and his obsession with culture wars. Millions of young men listen and believe every word said on it. I think in the last few weeks, the Harris campaign really should have bombarded his show with guests like Cuban.

It's true Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter marked a stark shift in his public image. While once celebrated for visionary ventures like Tesla and SpaceX, his Twitter tenure has alienated many due to erratic, confrontational behaviour and controversial political stances. Engagement with polarizing figures and inflammatory posts have overshadowed his achievements, eroding trust. Fans, once drawn to his innovation, now question his ethics, seeing a shift from inspiring entrepreneur to divisive personality, who's actually harming his brand (and democracy). Musk loses 90 fans against every gained 10 fans.

I am not a TSMC worker but I am a Taiwanese citizen with a university background in economics. It is not as simple as just setting up TSMC plants in the USA or anywhere else. Taiwan is THE cluster/centre for production of high end chips. It is an incredibly complicated ecosystem that actually relies on many other suppliers as well. To recreate this would be exceedingly difficult. That is why no where else has managed to (South Korea is arguably the closest or most advanced outside of Taiwan). Yes, TSMC has been pushed to set up a plant in the USA but that is utterly reliant upon many things (including engineers trained in Taiwan) being sent from Taiwan.

[@shishkabobby]

That complex ecosystem extends around the globe. There are custom manufacturer that combine top scientific and engineering minds with specialists manufacturers all around the globe. TSMC is a critical node in that web, no doubt. But I do fear that we have come to depend upon a fragile web that is utterly dependent upon global access to technology. The bronze age collapse was arguably caused by the loss of access to tin. We now live in a world with scores of 'critical infrastructure.'

Ahhh! i will let the single malt, the chocolate, the music and Sam's ramblings compliment each other to an orgastic crescendo. All the while I will lie in a well tempered bath tub and smoke a fat joint. It will be heavenly! I do not endulge in gloating often. But when I do, I might just as well celebrate it in style.

Whether tariffs are good or bad depends on how they are implemented. For example, you can pass a tarif for security reasons, but it won't help the economy, and we shouldn't lie about that. Or you can pass a tariff to protect businesses, but you also have to pass something that offsets the rise in costs. No matter what you do, don't lie about it.

So I have some questions for you. Why is it so difficult for you to pick up an economics book and read it? I've read hundreds upon hundred I lost count. How come every single Democrat I have asked can't even name 3 economics books. Nearly all couldn't even name 1. Your side is so uneducated that we looked at Trump as being the smart one when compared to your side. Your side is so stupid it makes Trump look like a genius. Libertarians oppose Trump and Republicans. But your side is so uneducated and filled with brain dead zombies that we actually started to rally for Trump. How on Earth did you push us Libertarians to do that? You pushed us to vote for someone we don't even agree with just because the other side is completely mentally challenged and some how incapable of studying economics even to learn the basics like supply and demand that i shouldn't have to be explaining to grown adults.

Kamala's campaign was horrible at explaining anything that matters and focused on identity politics rather the economy during this tough time. But Trump winning doesn't mean he's good for the country. Trump tariffs, for example, are 100% bad for the economy. If he actually does that, everyone will suffer. Prices will skyrocket and businesses will die. Dropping the FDA, education system, social security, medicare, etc would also be horrible moves that mostly just make his voters lives worse.
