Because the game panders to horny straight male players more than anyone else?

Building and expanding highways induces demand, and basically never eases traffic. Knowing that, creating more livable spaces is a better option.

Virtually no European cities have highways going through city centers, and it doesn’t impact mobility that badly.

Gardner is fucked (CO overseas voter here) - him getting elected in 2014 was a total fluke, and CO’s demographics have gotten a lot bluer since then. If the state can elect a gay lefty from Boulder in a statewide race in a non-presidential year, that guy has no shot in hell.

Was driving around West Denver with a friend back when I was in high school, and a cop pulled us over. Let us go immediately once we saw we were white, and told us “be careful, there are a lot of Mexicans around here.”

Strictly speaking, Stalin was Georgian.

Sure, but the top range Alpine is also about 40 grand less money. I think I could console myself with that much extra cash.

“I used that word because they forced me into it,” Goodman said.

Fivethirtyeight did the math on the electoral college margin, and found that 5% is about the maximum plausible loss in popular vote with electoral victory.

There was one parked in front of my apartment a couple weeks ago, and I saw a couple in the opening parade of the Tour de France, but those are the only ones I’ve seen. Even in a French-speaking country they’re pretty rare.

If I wanted a car that emphasized handling over power, I’d buy an Alpine (also much cheaper), but I recognize they aren’t available in the US.

I’m about 99% sure someone putting their car on your property does not grant your the right to damage their car in any way.

Fuck you.

Gerrymandering has crippled the DNC ability to take Senate seats.

It’s not centrism to prefer a different kind of universal care - plenty of more left-leaning countries in Europe have universal care that isn’t single payer (Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France).

Those are all single payer systems.

The Netherlands does not have single-payer - its system is a better-regulated version of the system we have here in Belgium.

No major nation remotely on the scale of the US provides decent healthcare for all without this kind of model

Several European countries, including the one I live in, have public options that are as cheap as fully nationalized healthcare. In fact, outcomes and satisfaction are higher here in Belgium, in the Netherlands, and in Germany (all of which have some sort of mix of public and private options) than the UK, which is a…
