  • Joe Biden has run for president so many times and had never really gotten close to being nominated because he sucks. For his entire career he has been one of the shittiest, most conservative, most bloodthirsty democrats who loved every project in which he could work with the good folks across the aisle. He finally got the gig (when he was losing his mental faculties) because the media, party, and cowardly electorate couldn’t stomach Bernie Sanders and nobody liked the rest of the field. (Harris didn’t even make it to the first primary elections.) A coordinated drop out and endorsement of Biden of everyone but Biden before super Tuesday sealed the deal. Some people associated Biden with fond memories of the Obama years, but nobody really thought he was an inspiring candidate. I’d bet if not for covid 19, Trump would not have lost.

    But I’m supposed to pretend he was the next FDR or something because of some bare minimum infrastructure and industry bills. Give me a fucking break.












  • Right, I’m imagining it as a service set up to be used if wanted/needed with no broad mandate. There are people running NSFW sites and channels that genuinely do not want minors interacting or accessing, and many would integrate this type of verification voluntarily if there was trust that it worked correctly and did not collect and distribute data about individuals. But I agree, that’s not what is on offer. So far from the UK it seems like they are letting private businesses figure it out.
