“The current political moment” is something very different for the left than it is for the mainstream American voter. You act like Joe and Jane Suburbanite are now utterly convinced that the police are the problem. We’re just now at the point where they’re starting to think about it, but for large swaths of the…

Yeah, I’m a Warren voter living in Klobuchar’s state; I’m not a Klobuchar fan by any means but the idea that she’s doing this out of spite is a bit tinfoil hat. I don’t think Warren ever had a chance at a VP slot under Biden, for one, and Klobuchar didn’t get where she is from being irrationally petty. She’s a pretty…

I agree, personally.  My money’s on either Cortez-Masto or Duckworth.

Warren never had a chance to be Biden’s VP. They’re too far apart. I say this as a Warren voter; like, if you think Biden’s going to pick her, regardless of what Klobuchar thinks, you’re dreaming.

This.  If he dies too early the Republicans run someone else without all the baggage.  We just need him impeded.

You forgot the murder hornets

Every country is having problems right now. I lived in Canada for several years and while it was better in a lot of ways and I really tried to stay when I finished my degree, I mean, Canada didn’t close its last residential school until 1996. It’s not Eden.

That’s what I’m waiting to see too.  It seems like it’s always more than one with these predators.

Ah, the “they’re both the same” canard. You may not like a corporate/moderate Democrat, but if you wouldn’t take them in a heartbeat over an overt fascist you must not have a lot of skin in the game.

Came here for this

We’re not used to seeing men as sexual objects rather than sexual agents.  That’s why the “cheesecake”-iness here feels so weird, I think.

It’s funny precisely because it’s a man bites dog story.  This basically never happens to us dudes.  I can read this without any real fear, any real emotional impact.  Yall read the reverse and it sounds like it’s traumatic because that shit happens all the damn time.  It’s a lot more real to women.

Given her interest in computer stuff I could actually see her being a Yang Ganger.

Hey, Ministry was pop before they were industrial.  Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem quite as good at it.

I think that’s exactly the point Taylor’s making. I mean, she hits it several times in the album, that it’s the simple shit. That line on the last track about “I used to think love was burning red, but it’s golden”, she pretty much spells it out.

He’s consistently crazy.  That’s a sort of stability, isn’t it?
