Well, frankly, I think the Democratic Party would need to give them a reason to vote for Biden beyond mere threats. The party may instinctively want to swing right for the general election, but I think they already have that base covered.  It’s the left that isn’t convinced.

And, if so, it’ll be four more years of Trump. Honestly, Democrats are the absolute worst at choosing the “safe candidate” (see John Kerry in 2004 and Hillary Clinton in 2016). Bill Clinton and Barack Obama won on a combination of charisma and change.

The Master said he put all the time lord bodies on ice, and presumably, those Cyberlords were only a small number of them. Even with that last detonation, it could be argued that they were unaffected, because they were already dead, but, being on ice, they could be later revived. Also, considering the Master will…

Republicans rail against big government, except when they don’t like shit, then it is legislate it away.

The thing is, they haven’t really “renounced” anything. Their HRH titles are just basically on pause, and I suppose that’s the sticking point: if they don’t really want to give up anything, they’re going to have to do things the royal family’s way.

Quite frankly, the Democratic Party has never nurtured “rising stars” the way the GOP does. I mean, Paul Ryan got to be Speaker of the House in his 40s. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi has had a stranglehold as (alternating) Speaker of the House and House Minority Leader for close to 20 years now. The DNC’s preferred…

The fact that we’ve all prematurely declared a “winner” after two small state contests is very much by design. It’s what the DNC wants, so they don’t have to spend lots of money for a nationwide contest ahead of the general election, and the media is always happy to oblige.

Warren is facing a couple of major issues: the sheer passion of Bernie Sanders’ fan base, which has put a lot of pressure on progressive voters who might otherwise see Warren and Sanders as similar to consolidate around him, and now the “bomb” of Michael Bloomberg, who has effectively tanked the candidacies of…

The Democratic establishment playbook can be reduced to upper middle class interests. When they talk about candidates like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren being “unelectable,” they’ll say things like “he/she doesn’t appeal to people of color like Biden,” but when people of color don’t “fall in line” like they…

The show was explicitly designed to be secular, not favoring any particular religious viewpoint, so it sort of ruled out revealing “God” (or a “Master Architect”) or reincarnation, because that would endorse eastern religions. So I can’t help but think that, in an afterlife stripped of all spirituality, eternal…

The show was created to be explicitly “secular” on the idea of the afterlife, not accepting or rejecting any particular religious viewpoint on it. So I figured that ruled out any concept of “God” (or a “Master Architect”), but also ruling out reincarnation, because that would favor eastern religions. All that being…

As a thought experiment, I tend to think that, if an afterlife exists and it’s truly limitless, then I suspect “limits” like space and time no longer apply. The past and future are all compressed into “the present” and an incomprehensibly vast universe—and all planetary civilizations that ever existed and will ever…

Or, my personal favorite, GeoWorks Ensemble circa 1990.

At some point, we, as a society, need to stop dancing around the fact that we need to make a massive investment in electricity. The whole system is antiquated and ill-suited for the future, let alone all the pollution from old fossil fuel plants.

For whatever reason, establishment dems cling to the idea that voters want moderates

American TV also has the luxury of much bigger budgets—the rest of the world just cannot compete with Hollywood money and resources. As such, short seasons and long hiatuses are not unusual in British television.

Really, I think what the show really needs is a truly fresh showrunner. Back in 2005, RTD took what was perceived to be an “old and stale” property and, for better or worse, gave it completely new life. Moffat and Chibnall have similarly been associated with Nu Who since the RTD era, and, as a result, these two have…

There’s one major thing you’ve overlooked here: language register. Yes, “alums” is bad English and even worse Latin, but this isn’t a formal setting here. Informal/conversational English and slang is entirely appropriate in this circumstance.

Even if they were presently penniless, it wouldn’t take much to leverage their name/brand and royal family connections to make as much money as they want.

Because American banks are large and have been willing to absorb the risk of fraud versus the added cost of newer technology. Even now, while Canadian cards all have PIN numbers, U.S. ones don’t (concerned that cardholders would forget their PINs and not use their cards, thus losing out on fee income), and they even…
