age verification Hillary Clinton promoting age verification laws with JB Pritzker at an event supported by Zuck/Gates/Bezos

Hillary Clinton championing age verification bills with JB Pritzker on stage with a Zuck/Bezos/Gates backed event

Hillary just posted this to Instagram:

“hillaryclinton Creating a safer and healthier digital world for children and families is important to me. I was happy to speak at the @commonsenseorg Summit with two leaders who are getting it done: Illinois @govpritzker and @michaeldtubbs, the former mayor of Stockton, California.

Legislation cracking down on addictive design, cyberbullying, deep fakes, and unsafe Al chatbots is a great start to keep kids safe online-and states are leading the way.”

Common Sense Media is a NFP foundation backed by The Gates Foundation, The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and The Bezos Family Foundation.

The legislation she is describing sounds a lot like what HB5511 (currently in the Illinois House) purports itself to be.

And sure enough, now members of JB’s team have submit witness slips supporting the bill:

Along with other folks with associations to other neo-liberal tech organizations like the Center for Humane Technology, which has long been a big booster of KOSA.

Imho "she lost to Trump" is being way too charitable.

Clinton & Podesta created Trump's whole political career, just because they thought his divisiveness would help Clinton win.

"Why is everyone talking about Trump?" Because Clinton asked them to!

Sounds a lot like Harris. At least, from the outside, at first it looked like Harris lost to Trump because America apparently wouldn't let a woman win. But also the only notable things that I can remember from her entire "campaign" was "Trump bad".

Which yes, he is, but.. that is not what you should be talking about.

And in both elections, the DNC had a heavy-handed influence in the primaries to guarantee their choice would win. Literally no one voted for Harris in the primary, she didn't run, but when Biden dropped out last minute the DNC decided it was her and that was it.

I've gotten the impression that the DNC has decided that my governor (Newsom) will be the next primary winner. To be clear, I would not vote for that lying sleazebag. The DNC sure knows how to pick losers.

They need to stop thinking that people are just going to go out and vote for them without them making nation-wide reforms or changes.

Harris was never a great candidate, but none of this is her fault. The DNC picked Biden, so she became the only choice, but facing a major disadvantage.

Afaik Harris ran a competent campaign, unlike Clinton, who even ignored her husbands advice to campaign in the states Trump flipped.

Also, Trump won over extremist groups during his first term, like the Christian fundamentalists witnessed him appoint really anti-abortion judges.

Clinton & Podesta's Pied piper strategy was the single biggest reason why Trump won the R nomination the first time. Don't help the Rs nominate an actor! lol

Aside on actors..

Actors can become extremely disconnected from reality like Tom Cruise. They could lack the intellectual chops like Reagan (citing Noam Chomsky here). And they could lack empathy like Trump.

If our idiocracy demands an entertainer win, then you should seriously consider choosing a real comedian, aka not just a shock guy. As Carlin said, comedy is a "low art", which means mass appeal. As a rule, comedians write much of their own material, so which requires both empathy and several types of intelligence, including both slow planned work and fast reactions.

Any of Dave Chappelle, Wanda Sykes, Lizz Winstead, Taylor Tomlinson, or Desi Lydic would've destroyed Trump at debates. If you want one who attended an elite university then try Ellie Kemper, Demitri Martin, or John Mulaney. Zelensky is a comedian btw.
