Ladies and Gentlemen, the “party of law and order”


Wish NPR had the guts to have a left wing bias. Between fund drives, hand wringing, pearl clutching, and some biographic segment on the death of an obscure vaudeville act reviewer, they’re pressed for time to come up with anything else


Sadly it’s still ragingly popular in the tech start up / tech bro / LinkedIn cringe world.
My job is, among other things, ML related…I try to warn them off of this rhetoric all the time but they can’t stop being distracted by the shiny jingling keys.
What’s the solve? The Republicans are always going to offer up a candidate with more hideous stances than whoever the Dems offer up. The Dems could run Trump himself and the GOP would manage to find someone worse, are you voting for Trump in that race because he’s not Super Trump?
I’m empathetic to harm reduction and the associated stances but where does the slide to the right end if Liberal voters loyally motorboat the hooters of the “least bad evil”?
Can’t vote our way out of this
