The other non-Bernie candidates aren't great, but Biden as president would arguably be worse in the long run than four more years of Trump (assuming he would even beat him).

Defenestrategy posted:I have to say if a billionaire wants into anything bigger than city dog catcher he's probably looking for a grift of some sort whether its for him or his bros, because if he wants to affect real change he has the ability to do it without having some sort of public office. So regardless of how not lovely Tom Steyer may appear to be, he's an rear end in a top hat for doing that. It's confusing as to why nobody's asked him if he cared so much about america that he would invest in a presidential run, why not give St. Jude an entire operating budget for FY2020, or fund the Warchests of various politicians who are trying to do good, or really any number of things that will do immediate and useful good instead of possibly reaching the presidency and getting hamstrung by a red senate? He may have good intentions, but all of them are meaningless as long as he remains a billionaire. Just one more lovely oligarch.

Honestly I'm conflicted about the idea of mandatory service. On one hand, mandatory service sucks, and I sure as hell don't want Trump 2.0: Now With Competence™ to have a legion of conscripts at his disposal. On the other hand, we effectively already have mandatory service for many people, as a means to escape poverty. But since it's legally voluntary, we can easily brush off sending them to die in forever wars as "they knew what they signed up for". So, land of contrasts, etc.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Bernie's VP will most likely be a moderate, to help bridge the divide between himself and the establishment. If Warren is to have a role in his administration, my guess would be something like Secretary of Labor or Secretary of Commerce. Bernie picking a moderate VP would be a terrible idea considering the non-zero chance that he could die in office, and it could potentially embolden moderate Dem congressmen to bilaterally impeach and remove him for whatever bullshit the Republicans cook up.

Acebuckeye13 posted:yeah see here's the thing, winning the election is the most important priority right now, and Bernie selecting a more moderate/establishment VP (depending on who they are) would be the best and most visible way Sanders can get the moderate vote on board. You don't like them, I don't like them, but their votes are going to be extremely important for keeping the House, winning the Senate, and beating Trump—and if that means selecting someone who's power in office is extremely limited, but can be used to get more voters on board, then so be it. OTOH, picking a moderate VP would signal to the leftists that he's not as serious about his policies and that he's willing to compromise to gain a political advantage, which is exactly the opposite of what they see in him. It could depress turnout from them just as badly as it would for moderates with a super left VP. Personally I'd rather go all the way because we NEED to go all the way. No more half measures.

Acebuckeye13 posted:I mean the counterpoint here is that there's a hell of a lot more moderates uneasy about Sanders than there are leftists who would sit out just because Sanders chose... (spins roulette wheel) Mark Warner. And considering how important winning the Senate and keeping the House is, without which Sanders couldn't accomplish anything anyway, it's more than worth spending a do-nothing position on a more establishment-friendly moderate rather than ramping up "maximum leftism" and then losing the Senate and accomplishing very little over the next four years. Why should we be compromising with people who would prefer for Trump to win over Sanders though?

The more important question to me is, even if you overlook the ethical issues, why would we even bother to try to breed humans to be harder/better/faster/stronger when we have machines to do that? Like I don't need to be able to run 60 mph when I can just hop in a car and do that. Biological evolution stopped being a concern when our ape ancestors started using stone tools.

Ironically, people like Dawkins are a great example of how intelligence is kind of a bullshit concept, at least in terms of it being a linear scale like IQ. There are lots of different kinds of intelligence. Dawkins clearly a smart dude when it comes to science, but he's completely incapable of reading the room and not saying stupid poo poo like this all the time, which I'd call low social intelligence.
