Makes fraud potentially much more dangerous though -- Someone steals your credit card and they're playing with Visa's money, but if someone manages to get in your bank account they've got their hands on live ammo E: FB

Keep in mind that almost everyone in the Hasidic community is descended from Holocaust survivors, which goes a long way towards explaining (not excusing, of course) why they're so vehemently opposed to anything secular threatening to infringe on their way of life. Reupping the Ask/Tell thread from about 10 years ago about a Satmar woman who left the community, an absolutely incredible read: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3391326&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:The one thing I wish the NYT followed up on is what the Yeshiva system spent their $100,000 federal grant for internet connections in low-income schools/daycares/kindergartens on when the kids aren't allowed to use the internet. I'm not sure what the rules are for staff or admin, but even if it was for them, it would seem to be against the spirit of the grant, even if not the letter of the law. IIRC nowadays a lot of Hasidic households and businesses have the internet just because in 2022 it's the only practical way to pay bills and crap -- probably heavily filtered so they don't get impure thoughts looking at porn, placing Amazon orders or reading the news

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Trump sent a letter to the January 6th committee that is wildly unhinged, full of typos, and also - inexplicably - includes several pages of photos from his inauguration in the middle of the letter to show how big the crowds wer  he cites Shiva "I invented email" Ayyadurai as a source for his Arizona claims.Also like half of these paragraphs have his Weird Capitalization and half of them don't, I wonder if those are ones he wrote himself or whoever's in charge of imitating his writing style sucks at their job

Main Paineframe posted:It's simple to rationalize. "Democrats broke the Constitution first with their election-stealing conspiracies, so we can't let the Constitution get in the way of protecting the Constitution by defeating them and their anti-constitutional rule at all costs". It's the same reason that 99% of the time when you hear about actual election fraud it's from the Republican side -- they've convinced themselves the Dems are already doing it, so it's ok if they do it too

Riptor posted:California and New York are wildly larger and more expensive states to campaign in, as is the Philadelphia media market which you would need to make ad buys in for NJ You'd have to buy NYC ads as well for NJ, which for obvious reasons is expensive as hell. A smaller state going first makes a lot of sense, it makes door-to-door campaign count more and benefits less well-funded and well-known candidates, which I think is a decent bias to have towards the beginning of the cycle. On the other hand smaller states tend to be less diverse, so you need to find the right balance of size and diversity, which leaves us with .... Hawaii?

Even in the worst case scenario where Sinema goes full R, having Fetterman replace her in a 50-50 Senate is a net improvement over the 2021-2022 composition. In terms of actual Senate procedure pretty much nothing changes, this is purely election calculus on her end

Honestly her jumping ship to the GOP entirely is in some ways even better than being independent: You're basically back to the 2021 status quo but with Fetterman rather than her, and sore loser laws would preclude her from being a spoiler for Gallego in 2024 if she loses the Republican primary. Yeah you'd still have Manchin the deal with but you'd need either him or Sinema in a 51-49 Senate anyway
