She’ll win by several million votes. It’s whether they come from the 2 or 3 correct podunk counties in the middle of bumfuck nowhere that matters. “Half of America” isn’t a problem. It’s “a dozen dudes” in Pennsylvania and “3 Karens” from Michigan that matter.

The total length of the continental border is 1,954 miles. Trump built 47 miles of new wall that wasn’t already there before he even took office. Even if we spot him 1900 miles, he STILL came up 7 miles short.

What border wall?

Easier said than done, but eliminate the electoral college and implement ranked choice voting would help tremendously

If Trump wins, he’ll get all the credit for the benefit we’ll see next year and beyond from lower inflation and more jobs Biden helped achieve. Republicans drive us into ditches, democrats tow us out, then republicans get the credit for the car being on the road again. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. * there

Us, the US consumers. His proposed tariffs would (on average) result in a $4,500 annual tax hike on US consumers. Over the course of a single 4-year term, this means the average American family will be $18,000 poorer.

Most voters busy with their lives and jobs and children and paying bills are only just now tuning in for the first time. They hear his lies for the very first time and have no baseline understanding against which to evaluate their truth. Those same not tuned in voters also have selective memories about the economy being good and inflation not being an issue during the Trump years. They don’t understand that the challenges we’ve faced during Biden’s term were a result of poor decisions during Trumps. They’ve also memory-holed the daily chaos, and the lies about Covid, the way he abandoned allies and encouraged racial hatred and is basically only their to enrich himself and his family. It’s easy to be fooled when you’re paying attention, and even easier when you’re not. That’s how you account for his strength in the polls.

Thankfully you’re personal incredulity has no relevance here.

I explore multiple models and haven’t paid for any. For ones that are free for everyone, Gemini and Metas Llama are excellent

That’s fair. People can find meaning anywhere, but as a rule we look to science for clarity and accuracy more than purpose.

Much more capable in nearly every regard

I’m not a fan of the OP, their style, nor even their continued presence here, but to be fair this is a fairly well known philosophical argument against god(s) that’s known even to people who don’t much follow philosophy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_evil

Math is hard for language models but there are a few that do quite well now. The version you tried is like a Wright brothers plane versus the versions out now being more like the jets we fly around today

I’ve moved on to other models

Some do. Your premise is false

Gods are invented by humans. Humans are fallible and subject to bias and inconsistencies. You’re welcome.

Science is a process which helps us to better model the function of the cosmos and more ably avoid blind spots in our understanding. While the outcome of that process can make one’s life more meaningfully connected to reality, it is not in itself a source of meaning nor purpose. They’re distinct magisteria.

Perhaps ”purity” shouldn’t be our goal at all. Perhaps instead we should seek sexual acceptance for ourselves and those around us. Perhaps a better focus would be on mutual consent and healthy practices around sexuality (both physical and mental). Listen, I’m working on it, okay? 🙃

Meanwhile at an event in Pennsylvania, this instant classic flag is waving

This too is plucked from your twisted imagination

I wouldn’t even use Iron Age iron. Our smelting and forging processes are far superior today.

Evolution is a mechanism by which genes get selected. It is not being posited as a source of morality (though I did previously provide you with a potential mechanism that morality gets selected for in local contexts). Evolution happens. It is true. It is established fact. The Bible is a collection of allegories. You may as well be comparing bananas and staplers. Suggesting that the intent behind rules being propagated by religions is rather often a desire for power and control is most decidedly NOT a conspiracy theory.

By choosing to be born into a specific community or family in a specific location, of course.
