Sorry for the delayed response. I was hesitant, but I found out today that he's threatening to veto the bill if it passes, so fuck him. It's Jared Polis in Colorado.

I'm a state employee and in my union. We currently bargain at the governor's pleasure, meaning we are one R away from no longer existing. There's a house bill moving through to codify our right to collectively bargain, but our Dem governor actually opposes it. We don't even have the support of those who are supposed…

Oh yes, Michigan fans, god's gift to the rest of us. Thanks for joining.

Recall the guy who won comfortably. Good luck, guys. I was born and raised here, but 3/4 of this entire state is fucking worthless.

I'd argue that picking up 40 House seats is evidence that running the right candidate does work, but I guess we can disagree.

Sure, but you also can’t run an AOC in every district in the country. Some parts of America are just full of center or center-left voters, whether we like it or not. I’d rather have someone center-left win a competitive district than lose a seat entirely. I wouldn’t necessarily say centrists undermine the party so…

Her campaign had a significant presence in each of those states. People did go door to door. Ohio alone had a huge staff, and they still lost. You can run the best campaign in the world and still lose because there are dipshits convinced that the obnoxious guy is just like them. You go knock doors in southeastern Ohio…

A fellow commenter informed me that it's private land. Thanks for clarifying.

That context wasn't provided in the original comment. You have answered my question, thanks.

How the fuck have FFRF or AHA not filed a lawsuit about that thing?

This rally is really gonna fuck up my evening commute. Won't get my vote.

William and Mary’s law school has fallen to 37th in the latest USNWR rankings. I can only assume that it has something to do with having Gaetz as an alum. Yeah, not far from top 30, but fuck that guy. You're absolutely correct that he should have known better.

I posted above, and I’m not an expert on this area of law, but I’ll summarize in brief. Note that some of my analysis is borrowed from Eugene Volokh, who, while a libertarian weirdo, is a perfectly reasonable legal mind.

It’s possible they’ll get part of it, but I’m not positive. I think that to get the $50 million, they’d have to establish loss of social standing or emotional distress. Perhaps they can make a case that Nick lost some social standing, but I think the emotional distress piece will be hard. Nick’s hurt feelings don’t…

Trump is likely to win a second term because people will ignore Bernie, and as a result, you’ll all stay home. I just want to make sure you see your role in a potential second Trump term.

He’s made it clear that he only wants to scream about how we’d all better vote for Bernie or his people will take their ball and go home (cause that isn’t part of why we’re in this mess to begin with or anything). It’s hard to reason with someone who flips out every time you point out their act is getting old. No…

Ah yes, the rigged primary that he would have lost no matter which system we used. This argument has zero basis in reality. Get fucked.

That was my only real gripe with it. The right is also trying to make it sound like we want to eliminate airplanes once and for all.

I agree with you on its importance and her role, but I don’t see how I’m gaslighting. There’s a world of difference between “climate change denier” and “person who won’t push a Green New Deal.” If anything, you’re trying to mischaracterize her position and convince us that we’re wrong. I guess I just don’t see how…

“I want everybody to be in on the act because this is deadly serious,” Pelosi said in an interview Wednesday, adding that the panel will focus on global warming “from the standpoint of health, security, economics and morality.”
