I hope you are joking calling the ACA a landmark achievement...

Became famous sort of the same way even...

It is unknowable, that is true. That was my point actually, Bernie was probably a bad example. Personally, I think that he is more appealing than Trump, and I think that his polling would have held at least as well as Trumps and Hillarys did. But maybe not. I was just pointing out that primaries don’t guarantee the…

Would it really have required magical powers to pass anything useful?  How many licks does it take to get to the middle of a Tootsie roll?  The world will never know...

The winner of the primary isn't necessarily the strongest candidate in the general.  In 2016 for example, Clinton was more popular among Democrats, but Sanders was much more popular among Republicans and Independents.

“This job looks like a lot more fun in the movies!"

Yeah, you are right I think. I was reading a comment thread to be informed, then I looked elsewhere and now I am slightly confused. Looks more likely that the script was real, and Bernie looks very slightly bad, instead of very good.  It's not a big deal to me, but either his staffers were off message (which is what…

Bernies volunteer strategy is publicly available, there is no secret that it never included those talking points. He likes Elizabeth Warren and he didn’t do that thing. I don’t think that response is misplaying it at all, he doesn’t need to attack her at this point, he just has to sit back and let this play out. And…

You seem to be reading a lot into the Sanders campaign not disputing the “veracity” of a comment they deleted on one of their (forums I guess). They aren’t denying that there was a comment and they deleted it, they are denying that it represented their position. I guess to refute it’s veracity they would need proof it…

But what I’m saying is that to my understanding the Bernie campaign did the opposite of what you are saying, and told their volunteers to keep things positive with regards to Warren. Then Politico somehow got a hold of a internal “slack post” from a first time poster suggesting negative talking points about Warren,…

Ya, I saw Warren taking shots at Bernie. I’m not convinced that the staffer talking points are in fact much of an attack, I mean, what are they supposed to say? If they thought Warren was a better candidate they would be Warren volunteers. Can you point me to the actual offense Sanders signed off on? I’m suspicious…

Eh, where did Sanders make the first move?

If he didn't say it should he fess up anyway?  All we have are third hand anonymous indirect quotes and Warren saying he "disagreed" that a woman could win the presidency.  And then saying that she won't discuss it further.  That's some pretty weak tea.  Him saying a woman can never win seems unlikely, him saying one…

Beg?  Whatever.  Put Trump in the White House again if you want.  See if I care...  Am I not entertained?

Speaking from rural America, educated people with good jobs are really dropping the ball IMHO. Like who was the best educated candidate in 2016, Ted Cruz? The best credentialed to fix the economy being Steve Bannon probably? Obama was a constitutional scholar from Harvard who couldn’t figure out murder and torture were…

Racoons come around my house all the time, and they don't mess with my cats or viciously attack anything except my garbage if I leave it out.  I did have to yell at them when they were coming in the cat door, I think that I hurt their feelings.  I was afraid they would chew things but they never did any harm.  

Not a violation if you bribe them I think.

They said Rad, but I thought Dix.

I think that it's a law that will go into effect if Roe falls, automatically.  Like a switch that doesn't need a live hand to work it I guess.

Well, I guess I would hope it isn’t so bad that every employee has to kick people out every day, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they usually had cause to kick at least one out. I’d be a bit surprised if they didn’t ignore if most of the time. I’ve tangled with Disney security before, it's amazing how fast dudes come…
