My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

Why the reporter is asking an AI tool to do the job she gets paid a ton of money to do is of course not addressed
Michelle Cyca@michellecyca.com · 3mo agopersonally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

Did you know that there is one group of Americans who are not entitled to birthright citizenship? People born American Samoa are classified instead simply as “U.S. nationals” — and as a result they cannot vote or run for office anywhere else in the country. Much more here, for anyone curious:
