If we were able to age out of authoritarian conservatism, it would have happened a long time ago. Possibly as far back as "cooking food over fire is making kids these days weak". That should never have been a strategy. Doubly so when there's a time limit to solve global warming.

It is, but those late model CRTs often had a lot of digital circuitry that displayed a solid color on channels with nothing on them. Unless there was a much older CRT around, they never would have seen it.
Reducto ad absurdum is not a logical fallacy if that's what you're getting at. It's a very important logical tool that happens to be a Latin phrase with a similar cadence to Latin names of logical fallacies. People on the Internet mess this up all the time, and it's become a pet peeve of mine.
I don't think OP is right--there's lots of different layers to issues like this that can be explored--but not because of that.
All you have to do is upend your entire life.
When those "allies" have replicated Republican border policies, Republican homelessness policies, Republican oil policies, and Republican Middle East policies, how "allied" are they?
The whole article is about how working within the system like that has been a complete failure.
They left because the Dem establishment gave no reason to show they cared about people
Maybe not hanging around with Liz Cheney would be a start on that.
That started to happen in just the last year. Used 2022 Teslas are going for under $25k. A big one is car rental outfits like Hertz. They cycle out their cars every few years and they bought a bunch of Teslas that are now hitting the used market.
The followup is that sitting with Cheney wasted time that could have been spent reaching those 14M instead of wasting it on people who were never going to vote Harris.
Recognizing that for a second would destroy the basis of private property. How can you say "this is mine" when it comes attached to the work of a million others?
There are issues that come up in niche cases. If you're using git bisect to track down a bug, a non-working commit can throw that off.
I hope it's a lot. The money here is going to the families of Sandy Hook victims. There isn't nearly enough to cover the full court ordered payout, but it's essentially a donation to them with extra steps.
