“Why would they become productive members of society again after being fired when they could just sit at home for 2 years?”

Unlike Joe Biden who is a holy saint, if you ignore the groping, and support of segregation that is

Say what you will about the bugfuck weirdness of having a falling helicopter kill off one of your characters, but at least it’s memorable and hilariously amusing.

I would very much prefer that the whole nation get to vote on the same day, perhaps using a ranked choice voting system

Sorry to hear about your mom. For my dad it was March 2018 for the diagnosis, and he made it to July. My guess is that the biggest difference for Alex is in getting the diagnosis early, and that’s where being able to afford the best doctors in the country/world can really make the difference. I know my dad was…

Brava, Mama Wang.

That . . . is a surprisingly refreshing review of the attitudes of a low-information voter. That’s not a disparagement.

After starting out with so many exciting candidates, it’s really frustrating to end up back here with Biden. I’ll vote for him, but I truly don’t think he will inspire people to get to the polls the way Bernie would have. And Warren’s delegate count actually makes me furious... what are Americans thinking?

Considering there’s literally no reason to vote for Biden other than his not being Trump, they’ll have a tough time with that

Yeah, Biden is the one candidate I could see Trump just trouncing in a debate.

You don’t have to have $10,000 to invest, lots of brokerage companies offer free accounts with no minimum and allow you to trade for free as well. You could open a Fidelity account and invest $10 into their fee free total market mutual fund and you wouldn’t pay a dime to buy or sell into the fund nor would you pay a…

Without a doubt. From an economic and social perspective, many people within and for the Dem establishment would prefer four more years of Trump over Sanders winning.

I have absolutely no trouble believing that if the Democratic Party leadership has to choose between defeating Trump and preserving their intra-party power, they’ll choose the second without the slightest hesitation

I think Sanders’ true-believer zeal is actually a good matchup against Trump’s authenticity, as he can compete on the battlefield of convincing voters that he cares about what he claims to (something Clinton had trouble with because she was very transparent in just telling audiences what she thought she wanted to…

You kind of have to take Harry-Meghan news with a grain of salt, but also sorry-not-sorry, you don’t get to renounce your titles and still benefit from it tacitly.

It’s amazing how the Republicans have so fully infiltrated the Democratic party that in 2020 almost the entire field is a Republican and the one dude who wants to roll back the party platform to where it was in 1980 is called a “socialist.” We got:

The final level of that is that by the time the player has no choice but to fix the problem, the problem can no longer be fixed.

The DLC “Centrist Simulator” comes out later where the mechanics are to *say* you want the end-goals of Democratic Socialism, but every time it’s offered to you or a party member brings it up, you have to stomp it out as viciously as possible on your own or siding with your opposition party.

Wes Anderson backlash is so strange to me. The guy has generated little-to-no controversy in 25+ years of making major movies and he puts out a reliably solid (and lucrative) product.
