Well this uh.. this happened. The congressional house route was comparable to the Victorian election; the only reason the senate didn't flip was that none of the seats that flipped blue to red from 2012 and 2014 are up. 2020 won't be much better, so the senate will stay in Republican hands until 2022 most likely. State legislatures and governorships fell like flies though. Millennials turned out like a motherfucker and by all accounts will be putting a democrat in the White house in 2 years.

No, everyone knew that the Democratic party would re-take the house, but this bank assumes a massive shift to the left that is simply impossible under the current US system. The Congressional Progressive Caucus has 96 out of 435 seats in the US house, for this system to have happened they would have had to have had over 120 Democratic primary defeats by socialist-leaning candidates on sitting members, (similar to what happened with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), and then every single one of the caucus would need to ignore all the money that was donated to get them there. Remember, the US Democrats are not a left wing party compared to the rest of the world. This is right-wing fearmongering dressed up as a financial predition.

it basically undermines the security of the entire internet to catch a few dumb bad guys and will force a bunch of companies to shut up shop here when they refuse to do build an open door for anyone to exploit

bowmore posted:I’m not incredibly well versed in it as well but here is the gist. They want tech companies to build backdoors into software and hardware so that law enforcement can easily read encrypted messages - only issue is that you can’t create a door just for law enforcement, it will be open to everyone, and it weakens the security of the entire internet (like, internet banking for an obvious example). Deliberately breaking the security of encryption so that the criminals in the police can access data whenever they want also allows criminals not in the police to do it too, so it's really double the threat

The thing is, given the state of massive inequality and the resultant risk to the economy, you don't necessarily have to be a flag waving DSA faithful to support an FDR-style new deal approach to economic repair. Demand-side economics is a far cry from UBI or mass nationalisation of utilities and the means of production. Yeah people like Schumer or Clinton will still find away to gently caress it up - but even Pelosi and D.W.S. will probably come around on the Green New Deal proposal given its what's getting people out to vote, regardless if it's to the left of their own agenda. They'll need that if they want to take back the White house. The ALP, Shorten and particularly supply-side hold outs like Bowen could really learn a lot from the 2018 midterms, and the folly of chasing voters on their right, while ignoring the larger cohort to their left, who haven't been captured by the media. /Derail

Encryption backdoors are a ridiculously stupid idea pushed ever forward by people that are ignorant re: actual criminal activity, people that don't care that want to sound tough on crime / terrorism, and people that actually do understand what it's dangers but just want the power regardless. There's no right for the government to listen in on everything that is said, and communication is obviously migrating to the internet from all other forms. Installing backdoors is essentially unregulated wiretapping that can be done by anyone that knows how, and there's no way of knowing where it's going to end up taking us. The only thing that is certain is it will be abused.

It's still dumb and stupid but loving *screeching Jim Sterling voice* "mums and dads" whoever they are must be appeased.

You Am I posted:Not really news, but landlords/ladies are garbage people: I don't know anyone that's been evicted for no reason or run into any issues renting personally, but I definitely have a couple of repairs that need to be done. I am simply too lazy to contact the agent while simultaneously too busy to go and sit at home all day waiting for some jackass to reattach a bathroom rod. I wish they'd give an idea of the kind of people/homes/areas that are seeing renters punted willy nilly and whether the fear is real or concocted. I've always been amazed at stuff like employees not wanting to raise basic things for fear of getting sacked or disciplined when there is a 0% chance of that outcome happening. Oh yeah and the last tradie that was meant to come and fix a roof leak cancelled five times. The one that's meant to patch the roof this time has cancelled 3 times, twice at short notice after I'd arranged to be at home.
