I was thinking about that too. I think there's also a similar thing where tv providers cant block commercials for other tv providers.

Is there any chance of trump, desantis, etc. falling all over themselves in a clusterfuck and some actual moderate winning the primary in 2024? I realize the republican party is still awful but I would love an election that doesn't make me scared for the immediate future.

Who is a "moderate" who would run in a Republican primary, win a Republican primary, and drag the craziest congressional members into sanity?

There's no way a John Kasitch type (and he would be a firm mainstream republican just 15 years ago, not a moderate) could win the Republican party primary these days.

The only way it would happen if Trump and DeSantis somehow both got around 35% of the national vote and the moderate's 30% happened to be concentrated in just the right winner take all states to take the victory. Just extremely unlikely. If it did happen it would be basically a fluke and and GOP turnout would crash in the general.

Musk ran out of the live chat room after just over a minute.

And after he got driven out of the live chat and told them to stop complaining about it he posted this:

He's full on melting down and is in the puppet master/just a joke/walking it back phase.

The only choices are grifters, true believers, or Mammon incarnate. I guess there's also the no hope protest Kaisich type who can't win, but think there's a way back to the good ol' reasonable evil of the early 2000s.

I do hope there's some poor sap who doesn't know the score who tries though. Like what's his name who thought displaying his "mastery" of Mandarin was a good opening salvo.

Oh my god. The reporters in the live chat are talking about Something Awful.

"Mods on a site like Something Awful made a game out of the ban. They just banned people because of the weather and weirdly it made it a good community. Because it was small and weird. But, Twitter is doing the same and it isn't the same."

Katie Notopoulos from Buzzfeed is actually comparing him to "the former, I think deceased, founder" of the site.

quote:

This is an interview with this the Now I think deceased founder of Something Awful who had sort of described the moderation policy there, which was like the reason that the moderation like it was a good community on there because they were like we will ban you if we don't like what you say. We will ban you if we don't like what the weather is out outside. Like we will just ban you because we feel like it and we won't tell you and we don't give a poo poo like we'll we just you know we wield the ban hammer, like whenever we want. And weirdly that made for because it was small. It made for a good community because people just got banned. And you know, this sort of community values of that work.

No. The GOP is full on fascist now and there's no going back. Their entire worldview is spite and hate. They gave the game away with Trump and if anything, the only voters open vulnerable to a "moderate" Republican are centrist Dems.

I think a depressingly high number of people will conclude "yeah, THIS rich man is very stupid and bad. And so are all the other rich men you bring up as more examples, they are all stupid and bad as well. But the rich man I admire, he's good, so don't be jealous of his fairly-earned wealth that he got from being smarter and better than you."

Probably similar to how all congressmen are bad, except mine, he's good.

It'll probably shift during the day tomorrow when all the professional chud-herders are awake and ready to tell their audience all about how Elon Musk needs their help to own the libs.

To be totally honest, I'm kinda surprised he hasn't yet bullied Twitter devs into adding an option for him to just manipulate the numbers himself and add as many votes as he wants.

Very agree on this and how it’d be far more funny if this mattered at all in the slightest to him

He’s an incredibly dumb piece of poo poo loser who has a ton of money and therefor matters but is insanely pathetic
