During the Obama years, some of the Republican Party’s leading finance wing bosses started playing with fire. The Koch Brothers poured a fortune into the creation of the Tea Party, a hardline group that made it clear that the would rather lose elections than lose the culture war. They primaried career GOP politicians and replaced them with swivel-eyed loons (and normie politicians who were willing to vote like swivel-eyed loons).

These hardliners changed the conservative coalition’s balance of power. By making it clear that they would rather see Democrats in office than Republicans who reneged on their culture war promises, they put the fear of (an evangelical) God into their leaders.The Tea Party marked a turning point for the US conservative movement and then conservative movements around the world.

Hardline conservative policies — total abortion bans, groomer panics, institutionalized racism, historical revisionism, support for white nationalist — are not popular.

Ideas like universal medical care, expanded transit, humane immigration policies and infrastructure spending enjoy commanding majority support among both Republicans and Democrats.But the hardliners threw the steering-wheel out the window. They’ve made it clear to GOP party bosses that they would rather lose elections than lose the culture war.

Turkey/Türkiye held local elections over the weekend and the secularist democratic opposition did surprisingly well. It spells bad news for authoritarians – both at home (Recep Tayyip Erdoğan) and potentially across the Black Sea (Vladimir Putin).

The Turkish party led by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan suffered big losses in local elections held on Sunday. Ekrem Imamoğlu, the incumbent from main opposition party CHP, led the mayoral race in Istanbul by nearly 10 percentage points after more than half the votes had been counted, Reuters reported early on Monday. CHP also retained its mayoral seat in Ankara and gained another 15 seats in cities across the country. Erdoğan conceded defeat for the AK Party, the AFP reported. The opposition's win is a blow to Erdoğan, who has been in power as Turkey's prime minister or president since 2003. Since he is also a close partner of Russian President Vladimir Putin — even though Turkey is a NATO member — the defeat of Erdoğan's party could change the two countries' relationship. If Erdoğan's AK Party had won resoundingly, the victory would be used in Ankara to "justify a close relationship with Russia in the eyes of the Turkish public," Marc Pierieni and Francesco Siccardi, researchers at think tank Carnegie Europe, wrote last week. [ ... ] Erdoğan's administration has been talking to Moscow about setting up a gas hub in Turkey as Europe weans itself off natural-gas imports from Russia.

The Financial Times has more specific figures on the shift in fortunes for the two largest parties. Erdoğan's AK Party is often called the AKP.

Overall the CHP captured 38 per cent of the national vote, while support for the AKP fell to 35 per cent. In the 2019 local election the AKP notched up 44 per cent of the vote, with the CHP well behind at around 30 per cent, according to Anadolu data

As an aside, Turkey has a great sounding national anthem called İstiklal Marşı. It's the only anthem I'm aware of that has the word coy in its lyrics.

#I've seen some disgusting shit in my time in turkey #an entire stadium worth of people booing the mother of a dead kid #people partying in front of their own ruined houses after the election. abandoned corpses in the rubble #but that's some insane level of mass hysteria. like #I can't even comprehend the level of communal neuroses required to partake in that. involve your children in it #sing and laugh about it. what the fuck #the other day I saw a video of israeli soldiers beating up a couple orthodox jews for being 'pro-palestine' in israel #the sheer hatred in those soldiers' eyes. what the fuck kinda mental conditioning is this? #do you people still have your mental faculties intact?? #I think those tiktoks might be the lowest a human being can sink to

How DLT is Changing the Way We Vote: A Look at Digital Voting Systems

Voting is a fundamental right in democratic societies. However, traditional voting systems have been plagued by issues such as voter fraud, low voter turnout, and long wait times. With the emergence of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), also known as blockchain technology, there is a growing interest in digital voting systems. In this blog post, we will explore how DLT is changing the way we vote and the potential benefits and challenges of digital voting systems.

What is DLT?

Before we dive into how DLT is changing the way we vote, let's first define what DLT is. DLT is a type of database distributed across a computer network. Each computer in the network has a copy of the database, and any changes to the database are recorded in a transparent and immutable way. This means that once data is recorded on the blockchain, it cannot be altered or deleted.

How DLT is Changing the Way We Vote

Digital voting systems that utilize DLT have the potential to revolutionize the way we vote. Here are some of the ways that DLT is changing the way we vote:

Increased Transparency and Security

One of the most significant benefits of digital voting systems that use DLT is increased transparency and security. DLT provides a secure and transparent platform for recording and counting votes. Each vote is recorded on the blockchain, and once recorded, it cannot be altered or deleted. This ensures that the voting process is secure and transparent, and it helps prevent voter fraud.

Increased Accessibility

Digital voting systems that use DLT can also increase accessibility. Traditional voting systems often require voters to be physically present at a polling station, which can be challenging for people with disabilities or those who live in remote areas. Digital voting systems can allow voters to cast their votes from anywhere, using a computer or mobile device. This can help increase voter turnout and make it easier for people to exercise their right to vote.

Increased Efficiency

Digital voting systems that use DLT can also increase efficiency. Traditional voting systems can be time-consuming and expensive to administer. Digital voting systems can automate many of the processes involved in voting, such as voter registration, ballot counting, and result reporting. This can help reduce the cost and time required to administer elections.

Potential Challenges

While digital voting systems that use DLT offer many potential benefits, some challenges need to be addressed. Here are some of the potential challenges:

Technical Challenges

Digital voting systems that use DLT require a high level of technical expertise to develop and maintain. This can be a challenge for some election authorities, especially those in developing countries or those with limited resources.

Security Concerns

While DLT provides a secure platform for recording and counting votes, there are still security concerns that need to be addressed. Hackers could potentially compromise the voting system, which could lead to voter fraud or other security breaches.

Privacy Concerns

Digital voting systems that use DLT also raise privacy concerns. Voters must be assured that their votes are anonymous and that their personal information is protected.

Conclusion

Digital voting systems that use DLT have the potential to revolutionize the way we vote. They offer increased transparency, security, accessibility, and efficiency. However, there are also potential challenges that need to be addressed. As DLT continues to evolve, we can expect to see more innovative digital voting systems emerge in the future.

It’s true that the Democrats’ finance wing is just as invested in not paying taxes or workers and just as committed to despoiling the Earth as their Republican counterparts.

Sure, they pay lip service to social progressivism, but it’s the anemic form of progressivism that promises to replace a world where everything is run by 150 white, male CEOs with a world where half of those CEOs are people of color, queer, and/or women.

But there is a crucial difference between Republicans and Democrats: Republican party bosses hate their base, but also fear them. They know that the base would rather give an election to Dems than elect Republicans who sell them out.By contrast, the Democratic Party’s grandees have zero fear of the base or the party’s left wing.

For decades, they simply assumed that union members, people of color and progressives would Vote Blue No Matter Who. They sold us out and told us they had no choice, and we just ate shit.

"On the eve of Turkey’s pivotal presidential election, Twitter has announced on Saturday that it is restricting access to certain accounts in Turkey following a request from the Turkish government.

Despite criticism of the censorship, Twitter CEO Elon Musk defended the decision, arguing that it was a necessary measure to prevent the platform from limiting bandwidth to all internet users in Turkey. It was a choice between “having Twitter throttled in its entirety or limiting access to some tweets,” Musk said, adding that they would post the details of the Turkish government’s request.

The time of the restrictions raised concerns that the aim of the move might be to impact the election’s outcome. Polls show that the opposition’s joint candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu could end President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s 21-year reign in Turkey’s critical elections, with open support from the pro-Kurdish voting bloc. This has led voters to fear that he may resort to illegal tactics to secure a victory.

The account of Kurdish businessman Muhammed Yakut, who previously shared some allegations regarding corruption and criminal activities of the Turkish government is among the accounts Twitter has blocked. Yakut recently promised to reveal details about the true nature of the failed coup attempt in 2016, claiming that the coup was staged, and that Erdoğan and members of his government knew about it in advance.

The Turkish government has been accused of clamping down on free speech and censorship in the run-up to the election. According to Reporters Without Borders, 90 percent of the national media in Turkey is owned by pro-government businessmen.

This is not the first time that social media platforms have been targeted by the Turkish government. It frequently blocks access to popular social media networks at times of political unrest, like in the aftermath of the devastating February earthquakes."
