Copywriting and corrections are apparently not big things anymore? 

Do you also support bans on protests? 

On the one hand-- the 1st amendment doesn’t really apply in cases like this barring Government coercion or some US Government Spotify connection I’m not seeing; on the other-- do you have any idea how the state being able to ban “disinformation” would play out b/c a simple look at the anti-protest laws passed in the…

“An entire country is peacefully travelling to their capital” .....lol, just possibly this is a slight overstatement.

It’s actually even worse-- they do tax for this, PA has among (if not the) nation’s highest gas taxes....but, the State Leg diverts large chunks of that money from infrastructure maintenance and repair to paying the State Police......

Seriously, if there’s a confirmable African American woman with a clean health history who’s say 35 and has only just been named Professor at a Law School or just been confirmed to an appeals court (even those are completely unnecessary characteristics)— they’d go to the top of the interview pile— we need someone who…

It’s okay to admit you don’t understand how nominations work. 

Well the House doesn’t really matter in terms of confirmations (Dems held the House during ACB’s confirmation, it’s literally just a Senate thing)-- don’t really see how they could slow it down barring a Dem Senator joining in.

No god no.   We need Sinema’s vote unless you think a Republican is going to support Biden’s nominee. 

So....I’d be disappointed with both Childs (55) and Ifill (59)....I know it’s a race to the bottom but we really can’t afford a Justice any older than Jackson (51)— mid-40s would be even better. It’s not about qualifications (after meeting a minimum they all more than pass) it’s about reliability and longevity,…

Maybe, to take a cynical read, buried alive means we shouldn’t ever count on or court young voters because it’s basically fucking pointless outside of rare Presidential elections-- 18 to 29 year olds aren’t going to vote proportionally, they didn’t to stop a war in 2002 or 2004, they did in 2008 (kind of) and 2012,…

Remind when the Dems had “overwhelming legislative power” by which I’d generally assume you mean filibuster proof majority beyond a small slice of 2009 when it enabled Dems to pass the single largest expansion of the social contract in half a century (aka the last time they had a filibuster proof majority in the 60s). 

No, there’s a pretty fucking big difference on judges (and abortion access in general), the ACA, etc- pretending there isn’t at this point is just fucking stupid- jesus this is the shit that let the disaster of the early 00s happen and then was repeated in 2016 and yet you still have fucking idiots going “there’s no…

Sweet. I’m going to do that with these Harry Potter novels I own-- no worries to just reproduce and sell them since i bought the books right? 

Which is fucking hilarious-- McConnell is many things- corrupt, a bigot, a sociopath who’s knowingly destroying American Democracy, etc-- he’s not an idiot; Trump OTOH.....

It doesn’t help that there’s no clear way to do it- we’ve tried more progressive candidates (Feingold in Wisconsin), Moderates (Gideon in Maine) and Conservative Dems (pick one)— it’s hard— basically the only Red State Dems in the Senate at this point are Manchin, Jon Tester in Montana (a fucking legend) and Sherrod…

We did- we just had a couple of unpredictable extraneous events:

In Maine moderate voters had a weird attachment to Susan Collins (who along with Manchin and Tester in Montana is one of the very, very few Senators to survive despite their states being pretty overwhelmingly for the opposite party in Presidential…

It’s a stupider version of how base Dems hate Pelosi and hated Reid-- all 3 were really effective at getting their agenda pushed through as much as was politically possible but doing so (passing the ACA, stealing a Supreme Court Justice, etc) at times required compromises with the more moderate factions of their…

Eh......the history of vigilante justice against those accused or convicted of sex crimes in this country is not one we need to repeat.   Admittedly this is fucking atrocious but ooof....we really, really don’t need to go back to those day regardless of how much some folx might be down with it. 

But that’s not the same thing— If Casper was claiming to produce an mattress and then was actually buying it’s competitors mattresses and repackaging them it’d be closer but still not the same.

Two of the big differences here, that separate Theranos from most (but not all) other “disrupt the paradigm” VC funding…
