It’s not even just retail. I work for a large financial services company, and the organization is completely paralyzed with indecision and conflicting messages. My department (like many others in the company) has the capacity work completely remotely with little/no impact to productivity. But management insists that…

This. Tell me Warren’s your VP and I’ll vote for you in the primary. As it stands, I’m just having a hard time caring which partially senile old white guy we pick to throw at their partially senile old white guy in November (the one that probably won’t do shit but that middle-aged working class voters in purple…

From a small arms perspective, maybe. Probably not practical as a rifle. But x100 bigger, attached to a couple of Tesla Model S batteries and mounted on an AC-130 gunship, it might make one a hell of a long range anti-tank or anti-ship weapon.

Though, I wonder how much of it is just rationalization of his faults and missteps as a necessary evil for getting their agenda railroaded through and having the judiciary stacked with conservative judges for a generation.  

I feel both smarter for having read this article in its entirety, and dumber for having only understood about a third of it.

On the bright side, it should be more of a binding food. Unless you got the extra spicy kind... then, you’re screwed.

I feel you. But here’s the problem - Bernie has yet to find the magical formula to get the under-45 crowd to turn out en masse. We can’t assume he’ll get that sorted out in the next 7.5 months. So, that means we *need* the elder vote to oust Trump.  And old people like Biden.  

My money is on whichever of then is the first to write a tell-all book after Trump loses in November.

This was probably not the most politically astute way for Uncle Joe to approach the situation. But in fairness...the union guy actually was being a horse’s ass.

Yeah...I’m getting the sense that “normal” is a lot easier to sell than “better” to your average 50-something or older purple state voter.

Sadly, debating and speaking in front of crowds are not insignificant components of the job.

As someone who got almost halfway through an MA in urban and regional planning before walking away in despair, I feel pretty confident in saying that bike lanes, more effective bus coverage and promoting mixed-use densification in underused suburban/ex-urban settings...rank about 40th on most people’s lists of voting p…

His belief in science is directly proportional to its immediate impact on him, personally.

Martin Freeman was fine as Bilbo Baggins, but The Hobbit in no way justified 9 hours’ worth of runtime. Hell, in that amount of time you can practically read the entire book and then go out for coffee with your book club to discuss it.

You’re not factually wrong about the youth vote needing to actually show up, but you did kind of veer off the original topic of the post. The author’s main thesis is that antisemitism at a Bernie rally wasn’t sufficiently covered by most news outlets, and was covered in bad faith by one in particular.

Wasn’t this a thing for PS3s back in their “also a Linux computer!” phase?

It’s a fair point, I guess. It’s easy to to lose perspective in the echo chambers we build for ourselves. If the people we interact with have similar views and the media we consume supports those views, it’s easy to forget that there are a lot of people outside that echo chamber who aren’t necessarily the enemy...but…

Im sad to say that the best chance this country probably has to see a woman become president is if Ivanka runs in 2024.

I doubt Biden would pick her. She’d constantly make him look bad. The best we could hope for is Harris or Klobuchar for a female Biden VP.

I’m as disappointed as a lot of the people here. To me, Warren was the best candidate running, and our last chance to keep from fielding either a largely senile creepy uncle or an early-1970s liberal activist trapped in an elderly man’s (potentially failing) body against the Republican machine this fall. But I get…
