[00:02]	IsambardPrince	"Some Chicago voters said their choices at the polls today were inspired by a desire to see change in the Democratic Party and a rejection of support from pro-Israel and pro-cryptocurrency groups."
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	We voted for an anti-AIPAC candidate for our House district.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	Not for the reasons da Lobsta would have.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	I don't like the idea of foreign interference in US politics.
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	The United States must not be the thrall of a foreign government, any foreign government.
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	Hmm, I noticed my car tends to be low by about 0.4 quarts after 800 miles, but after the next 800 miles, it's only down 0.2 quarts.
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	The longer I drive on that oil change, the less I have to top off the oil.
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	"Around $57 million has seen spent on ads in the Democratic Senate primary in Illinois, half of it coming from a single candidate, according to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact."
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	And I did not vote for that candidate (Raja Krishnamoorthi)
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	My vote is not for sale and I also don't care how much money you spent on ads if you're still a piece of shit.
[00:23]	IsambardPrince	Just spending a lot of money doesn't necessarily mean you'll come close to winning. Michael Bloomberg paid a lot of money in the 2020 primary and he still didn't get any delegates, much less win a state.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	Krishnamoorthi in my view is something of an "Indian scammer".
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	That's why he's backed by the "cryptocurrency PACs".
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	He shouldn't be in the Senate, he should be selling Seiko watches on eBay made from the parts of 10 broken mismatched watches.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, ^
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Jeannie Ives came back on the Republican side.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	But it doesn't look like she'll advance.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	Her name is Jeannie Evans now.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	Her candidate site talks about advancing Christian nationalism and "AI".
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	So it's for the better really.
[00:46]	IsambardPrince	Some figure that Robin Kelly was a "fake candidate" to try to spoil the US Senate primary and throw it to Raja Krishnamoorthi.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	By diluting the "black vote".
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	Certainly there's some of that going on, but Stratton is still ahead.

[04:31]	IsambardPrince	If I was that guy I'd probably clean out all the sludge I could before running the sludge flush since he already took the valve covers and intake manifold off anyway. Save the flush for the stuff you can't clean out manually at that point.
[04:31]	IsambardPrince	Less chance of plugging something up.

[22:51]	IsambardPrince	Hmm
[22:51]	IsambardPrince	"AI, Crypto Suffer Surprise Defeats in Illinois Primary Fights"
[22:51]	IsambardPrince	"Democratic voters in Illinois this week rejected most candidates supported by the crypto and artificial intelligence industries, marking an unexpected defeat for well-funded special interest groups as they prepare to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to shape Congress in this years midterm elections."
[22:53]	IsambardPrince	"AI and crypto, relatively new industries with ambitious anti-regulation agendas, are courting a new generation of moderate, tech-friendly Democrats in a cycle where President Donald Trumps own party is facing strong headwinds. In deep-blue states like Illinois, that meant investing heavily in fiercely fought primaries. In the end, only one candidate favored by both industries, Melissa Bean in Illinoiss eighth district, won.
[22:53]	IsambardPrince	The two industries spent over $18 million in the past month on the Illinois Senate race as well as three key congressional districts, running generic ads under vague-sounding names in order to boost their favored candidates.
[22:53]	IsambardPrince	The string of losses cuts against the narrative that crypto and AI can handily buy races across the country with their massive war chests.
[22:53]	IsambardPrince	What tonight shows more than anything is that the idea of crypto-backed spending as an all-powerful force was probably overstated, said Justin Heath, a consultant with progressive firm Orange Hat Innovation.
[22:53]	IsambardPrince	The crypto-focused PAC Fairshake spent more than $10 million attacking Illinoiss Senate primary winner Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton and $2.5 million against State Representative La Shawn Ford in the seventh congressional district. But both candidates won, marking some of the first major defeats of the industry since it began spending in the 2024 cycle."
