@BridgetPhetasy@redsteeze Presumably because she will talk about abortion and her team believes they can leverage Texas’s laws- which have been the subject of more attention than other states- to create a contrast.
Not saying it’s a good strategy.
@therriaultphd@johnzchew@peteskomoroch I maintain that groupthink, and similar objectives/viewpoints account for many conspiracy-like activities. If x has budget/regulatory/influence over something, and y is aligned- then x is likely to be kinder to y. Mapped over multiple interactions, appears conspiracy-like.
@ShlomoIshtov@TheLastRefuge2 Was just going to say this. Would be pretty amazing if @iowademocrats form doesn’t handle this in later instructions. Then again, maybe not surprising.
@SwiftOnSecurity And yet we did so. Multiple times. Not saying it’s easy or that these guys made some huge mistakes- I just don’t have enough info to judge. But empirically- it is possible.
@therriaultphd@ebruenig I actually believe him. The Registers article uses weasel-words to make it sound like he was more involved.
However, they worked on this for a long time and had help.
But these things can be hard. But, ahem, not impossible.
@kreissdaniel Dubious that this is a capacity issue. This isn't a lot of simultaneous users. But yes, it is hard to do.
However, it seems like they have had a lot of help along the way- https://t.co/KFnIKDkP1m
@stevenfhayward My wife was just saying CNN needs to start showing cat videos, because they have gone nuts. Smart of Klobuchar to jump in and grab this time.
I will be perfectly happy to criticize @TheDemocrats technical operations if they deserve it. That isn't clear to me at this point. Things can be hard to test and prepare for. Lots of changes at one time.
That said, it is possible to roll out political tech under pressure. 😛
@eddiebauer Hi, I’m having some pretty significant customer service issues trying to order items, and accessing my account. Multiple credit card charges, but no order confirmation. Customer service can’t help, despite saying issue would be resolved by now. Can you help?
