politics @lemmy.world•Pollsters are now asking AIs to answer surveys as if they were humans and passing the results off as poll statistics
3·1 day agoThe problem is that if the poll is way off, people won’t hire that polling company anymore.

politics @lemmy.world•How Xavier Becerra became the Joe Biden of California’s governor race
13·1 day agoThere is nothing wrong with being supported by Silicon Valley businesses. California has to be business friendly. AI is the future. It has to be supported. There’s not going to be sufficient government affordable housing to house the number of homeless because building the government housing is expensive. Interim housing is the best solution. I would use tents for the interim housing. It would provide cheap and safe housing.

15·2 days agoYes, many Democrats are accusing him of not being a progressive, but I think Mahan is the better centrist.

12·2 days agoCan’t Democrats find a better candidate? Brown is too old and lost his reelection bid.

110·2 days agoBecerra is too far to the left. Matt Mahan is a better choice. If Becerra is governor, California will be unchanged if not worse than under Newsome.

politics @lemmy.world•American Society Has Proven Too Weak to Stop Dangerous, Unstable, Violent, and Egomaniacal Trump | Common Dreams
1·3 days agoPossible reforms I can think of are limit Supreme Court judges to 6 year terms. After that they would have to be reappointed. The President cannot issue pardons. Non-Supreme Court judges would be appointed by a bipartisan congressional committee which would choose a pool of candidates for a certain position. From that pool one would be chosen randomly. Congress must approve of all military action. The exception is when an immediate response is required. Then congressional approval would be required ASAP.
I’m sure a committee of scholars can think of more reforms.

1·4 days agoTrue but Democratic candidates can appeal to independents.

1·4 days agoDemocrats can use this against Republican candidates running for reelection. Just say this candidate voted against this proposed reform and say what the reform is.

6·5 days agoThe problem is that the executive branch has too much power. Congress should have a committee of scholars convene and propose laws that would balance the powers of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The laws would be forwarded to Congress for debate and implementation as they are proposed.
I don’t understand Allen’s attack plan. After he rushed past the screening station, he would have to climb up some stairs to get to the floor where the ballroom was. All this while under fire. Hearing the commotion, the Secret Service would have closed the ballroom doors. If Allen somehow made it up the stairs, how would he have opened the ballroom doors?

politics @lemmy.world•Governor Janet Mills suspends Maine Senate bid weeks before primary clash
4·6 days agoPlatner is a better choice than Mills. Mills is too old. Platner is young, a military veteran, and an oyster farmer. This background will draw voters. I suspect the GOP would have preferred to run against Mills.

politics @lemmy.world•Florida GOP legislature sends new House map, netting party up to 4 seats, to DeSantis for signature
11·6 days agoYes, but it would be smart of Democrats to propose legislation to have companies bid for a computer program to draw congressional districts. Any refusal by Republicans can be used against them in their reelection.

politics @lemmy.world•Florida GOP legislature sends new House map, netting party up to 4 seats, to DeSantis for signature
22·7 days agoThat could be the reason having a computer program draw districts is never considered by lawmakers from Democratics or Republicans. Both like gerrymandering unless it goes against them.

5·7 days agoGerrymandering can easily be stopped by having a standard computer program to be used by all states draw congressional districts.

politics @lemmy.world•To End ‘New Gilded Age,’ House Progressives Unveil Bill to Raise Federal Minimum Wage to $25 Per Hour
1·8 days agoYes, but would the amount that’s cut be able to may pay for the $25/hr. wage? Wouldn’t it be better to use that money to fund other programs such as healthcare.
Harris is dumb. Despite knowing that Trump’s strategy was to tie her to Biden, she said that she would do nothing different from Biden. Andy Beshear would make a better Democratic candidate.

11·8 days agoStockholders can lose money depending on the success of the companies that the stocks are invested in. In contrast, a $25/hr. minimum wage is not based on success.

Europe and Ukraine should realize that Trump cannot be trusted. Europe should negotiate with Putin regarding Ukraine.
