Yes, the same people who elected Barack Obama. Intersectionality impresses very few people that are required to win elections. Substance matters.

I think you're a bit offbeat from the general discussion regarding AI transformation in the U.S. Canada and virtually every advanced economy. So as they would say you are one beat off. ;)

You have to pay closer attention. While everything about American politics is a TERB obsession, Mamdani has not been discussed that much here. Mamdani has been certainly in the news in the U.S. Cuomo was a Democratic hero until the sexual harassment charges. Attacks on Cuomo's abilities ring...

I think we are at the point of a shifting paradigm of which you seem to recognize. I am willing to give Trump some leeway in making some bold moves. I don't think anyone before him was doing anything but nibbling at the edges. You might be blissfully naive. Canada and Western Europe are facing...

You missed the point. Many of today's jobs didn't exist in 1950. Likewise, many jobs in 1950 no longer exist. Because of amazing productivity gains in some areas, we have been able to dramatically expand the number of healthcare professionals. I mentioned offshore call centers could be a thing...

This has been said since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Of course, technology destroys jobs. It's through this creative destruction that productivity increases, economies expand and new jobs are created. Advanced economies employ far fewer people on farms and far fewer people on...

Hmm.......all 77 million don't care about Trump's mental condition. Very acute and cogent analysis.

New York City has always been an incredibly expensive city. It's been said that it's a place for the affluent, those looking to make their wealth and legacy families with residences. It's common for people to move to NYC and realize they can achieve a higher standard of living elsewhere in the...

Perhaps but Trump's age and decline withstood a national referendum.

Hmmm........the Left defines policies as the government doing more and more things. Cuomo always seemed to me to be a very strong Governor until he got into trouble. PS- Your point was that I didn't think Mamdai had policies. WRONG.

You are entitled to your opinions of Biden and Trump. However, age was not the real reason Biden was replaced. The symptoms of aging were very visibly present. There is a difference. I have seen people in their 80s who were sharp as a tack. Now I actually have conceded*, I don't think Trump...

I don't believe I asked this or said that Mamdani didn't have policies. To paraphrase an idiomatic saying, Policies for politicians are like assholes. They all got them.

People did not have a problem with Biden's age per se. It was rather his elderly presence and physicality that concerned them. Like I said, you don't understand whataboutism. (I think you do, but you will always challenge me for fuck's sake.) Saying Trump is crazy, physically falling apart or...

Yes, that's a policy. So is free ice cream sundaes every day for all NYC residents. If the ice cream shops close, that's not much of a policy in practice. I suppose government-owned ice cream shops are a solution. I don't think Mamdani will be successful on policy. He will either quickly...

Sorry a what-about statement can be factual and accurate, but it's the attempt at diverting attention from the initial statement that makes it whataboutism. Again the Google AI definition: Instead of addressing the original issue, it redirects the conversation to a different one, a tactic...
