Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

A quick and lazy search pulls up this article:

Telecompetitor said:
With large corporations like Comcast, Charter and AT&T dominating the market, at least 49.7 million Americans have only a single internet provider available to them, according to a new broadband monopoly report from the Institute for Local Self Reliance, an advocacy group for local community economic development.

Comcast and Charter are the only choices for more than 47 million people in the U.S., while the “competitive choice” for another 33 million people is slower, less reliable DSL service, ILSR says in its latest report.

“Nationally, cable companies maintain monopolies on high-speed Internet access,” the report authors note. “The large telecommunication companies, such as AT&T and Verizon, invest mainly where they face cable competition.”

Broadband Monopoly Report
The authors dispute federal data suggesting that Charter and Comcast have an absolute monopoly over fewer households. “We think this is mostly a mirage resulting from how the FCC reports data,” the authors wrote. “A significant number of the census blocks showing new competition are likely only partially served.”

ILSR used FCC Form 477 data (June 2019 v1), as the primary source for the data of the report. ISPs self-report their coverage data to the FCC down to the census block level. ILSR believes this data grossly overestimates broadband availability because a census block is counted as having broadband even if only one location in that census block has service.

According to the data, rural areas get little service other than DSL from the largest providers, despite billions of dollars from state and federal programs, including the Connect America Fund (CAF) program, which ILSR calls “a failure.”

This isn’t the first time ILSR has blasted what it calls lack of competition for broadband and the failure of the CAF programs, as Telecompetitor reported. A key element of ILSR’s critique of the CAF program is that the program — which pertained to the the nation’s largest price cap carriers, including AT&T, Verizon, CenturyLink, and Frontier – only required the providers to deliver service supporting speeds of 10/1 Mbps to meet buildout obligations, even though that is below what many people — including the FCC — now consider broadband.

And anecdotally speaking, I was lucky enough to have a competitor come in. My neighborhood HOA sold our infrastructure to a company owned by a father who wasn't interested in maintaining anything and his only employee, his son, who was convinced that a tenth of a megabit per second was a perfectly fine Internet speed. I wonder if they're still in business.

If you need the government to intervene to make things competitive, chances are they weren't competitive to begin because the government created the problem in the first place.

It's hilarious how quick they shifted from Black Americans are too dumb and lazy to get IDs, to pretending that they care about rural Americans who are apparently too far away to get access to them, despite them usually turning out for the Republicans on Election Day (i.e. West Virginia).

No one is going to hear them on Twitter. At least not the people that they want to talk to.

Also this desperation over getting the vaccine out seems... Ridiculous. Case in point...

This is Snowpiercer "Shoe Speech" levels of hysteria. That "these people are inherently broken" style of speech that is disturbing to anyone sane.

But of course! Polling amongst blacks must be abysmal if they are desperate enough to pander to the ignorant rednecks.

"We got you halfway decent internet! You should love us! Just ignore everything we have said for the past four years."

My liberal friends said "Fuck it" about a year ago and just started hanging out despite the mandates. Don't know what you're talking about lady. Hell, work took no precautions at all. Life didn't really change for me at least.

Don't get ahead of yourself. However, the Biden administration (in particular) is heavily about optics and approval. Kamala running to El Paso to own Blumpf is the easiest example?

The recent Right to Repair EO is an example of that, despite how important and great it is, much to the point we agree for once with posters who hate Trump/entertain Biden.

Even the President heading to Pennsylvania this week to curb out State Senator Mastriano's attempt for a real audit is an optics cuck. The administration and Democrats in Washington dying on the voting rights after HR/SB 1 miserably failing, along with the Filibuster, optics cuck.

They're going to waste the year going on about this nonsense. And for cucks who are always raving about the polls, they just don't get that the nation wants the opposite and not the mess they're trying their hardest forcing through.

I can only laugh that the GOP is literally playing on recruit difficulty, yet the upper brass won't praise Trump's name like Reagan because they hate their voters and they just won't speak out against the nonsense.
