I've never been a Biden fan but I'm not concerned with whether he can continue doing the job. My concern is whether he can win the November election. That means winning over a lot of voters who are on the fence, not just the party faithful.

Trump is a moron but he has people in his orbit that know more than enough to be dangerous. Go read Project 2025. If you're considering not voting this year, think about the fact that your vote may never count again. Democracy is more important than hating a candidate.

I think Doug Ford is getting worried about his opinion polls. Just got this message from "Emily" at 416-907-6757. For the record Doug, if I could, I'd put you out of office and into a jail cell.

I'm not a Biden fan. He's done some very good stuff and some very bad stuff. But if you honestly think letting Trump back into office isn't significantly worse than another Biden term, you need your head checked.

The most ironic thing about the Dunning-Kruger Effect is that many people try to use it as a retort without understanding it.
Not familiar with it, or unsure if you really get it? Here's a good interview with Dunning himself.

It's funny having a boss that likes to call and just "shoot the shit" once in a while. When I see his name on my phone, I never know whether I'm about to get a new project added to my to-do list or just quizzed about my weekend plans. 🤣

No chance of winning, no chance of improving odds of winning next time, no reason to run. Bye Kyrsten.

If the only 2 people with a realistic chance of winning the US election in November are Biden and Trump, I'll take Biden every single time. The US desperately needs some better options in the next election though, plus an upper limit on the age of candidates.

This tweet is 8 years old, but I can't help thinking the percentage is probably even higher now.

It's absolutely comical how many "Constitutionalists" in the US don't have a clue about almost any part of the constitution except one or two amendments (AKA afterthoughts) that fit their world view.

Half of all people are dumber than average. It's what you do with that dumbness that matters. Will you listen to people smarter than you, or will you believe and spread dangerous misinformation?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's not possible to be both a Trump voter and a good Christian. If you vote for Trump, you are a bad Christian.

You can support Israel without supporting Netanyahu. You can support Palestine without supporting Hamas. A war crime in response to a war crime is still a war crime. If you support Hamas OR Netanyahu, you are trash.

Until a couple years ago, I never thought I'd see a day when scientists needed security to protect them from the ignorant. We're going backwards into a new "dark ages" where science is shunned in favour of voodoo, gut feelings and rumours.
