sounds like the sort of thing that is only possible to write and believe if one lacks any personal experience whatsoever with the subject matter

Sometimes I see a post and just think "I bet they have bad opinions about Bernie Sanders." (He does.)

not sure what interaction I had with the one in your screenshot but it must have been similar because I already had them blocked

There's a "left" on this website (that is hopefully overrepresented here because there are a lot of them) that is pretty antisemitic and all around *awful*. People who align with them tend to also hate liberals and Democrats, e.g.

"normal politics is over, democrats aren't doing enough to oppose trump." "you called him a coward? sorry that's just much too far."

"I maybe didn't write this, but it sounds like you took me out of context." Pick one.

what if democrats are actually responsible for Trump's unpopular tariffs because they are too mean to Trump? have we considered this?

even if they released the trump pee tape video now, no one would ever believe it

well I dont see it in the exhibit list (though there's a lot of other stuff about the cyber symposium), so probably not part of plaintiff's case. this is the case specifically about Coomer, the dominion exec, rather than the one about dominion.

I wonder if they managed to MIL out his loss in the arbitration matter about his fake contest to prove 2020 wasn’t rigged. I’d guess not.

I do think he's down, but I also think this poll was not designed to figure out what the score actually is.

my perspective is from hearing from people who have answered these calls in the past in R senator offices and what the offices do with them. you are of course free to disregard.

well. maybe not all of them were treated better.

I'd be interested in a focus group that figures out what their media diet is, in as much detail as possible. I am not worried about the potential selection bias for offering them capitalist money to participate.

oh look, mr. "where is the antisemitism" has *some opinions* about jews
comment in response to

If the mere thought of a Jew, anywhere in the world, prompts someone to start saying "not all criticism of Israel is antisemitic," odds are pretty good *they're* antisemitic

For that reason, if I were tweaking the call script, I’d add references to local news, strike “terrified” and use “concerned,” and remove “the cuts have to stop.”

Good to leave messages that do not reveal partisan affiliation. Even if they ignore them because they start writing them off as partisans not on their team, they’ll be more likely to write off partisans on their own team in the future.

I think many other politicians resented/still resent him because of their impressions about how he views his own followers, and he in turn resents them right back.

Yeah, everyone and their dog is going to the hill to lobby the senate for changes to the turd the house just passed. hard to see them all coming up short

I quibble slightly: IMO it’s important to have formal mechanisms of removal and the public expectation should be that those will be exercised in appropriate cases, and not that public pressure will cause a resignation.

I’d be interested, for an inter generational comparison, in separating out first time college goers from other college goers

what you've never heard of a means for retro encabulating before?

a thing they should actually be *really* good at is prior art searches

I'd bet LLMs could do a reasonable job with a spec in the near future. I'd also bet you really wouldn't want it drafting claims.

having seen what people routinely file in state court, there's a reasonably big subgroup that might improve.

(And if it could, I do not think it would result in less legal work. I think there would be more, as markets that are currently priced out open up, or more disputes that now settle because the cost of litigating is high end up going forward.)

Yeah, it does seem like it should be a solvable problem. If it actually meaningfully makes brief writing faster (and cheaper) by an order of magnitude or more, I'm not sure it will be viable to avoid it if everyone adopts it. it doesn't do that now, but it seems like it might within 10 years.

seems weird that they can make photorealistic otter-on-plane videos but can't spit out a decent legal brief that's been properly cite checked. I suspect that will change, though I certainly won't be gambling my bar license to be an early adopter.
