If these trolls were serious about defeating Trump, they wouldn’t be working so hard to push a 2nd rate candidate again in the 2020 Dem Primaries and would be sitting out the 2020 Dem Primaries instead.

No, we’re polling them because they are among the earliest primary states. If the first primary were in California, we’d see lots of California polls early on.

This was literally the tone taken — across most of the GMG sites — in regards to Hillary Clinton in 2016 though... wasn’t it?

The numbers just don’t bear out that Sanders people played this role in 2016. Not sure why they would in 2020. Let me just be clear that I wouldn’t care even if they had. It’s a candidate’s responsibility to earn votes, after all. But the fact is that they didn’t, so there’s doubly nothing to take this patronizing,…

Nobody is saying it translates into a final outcome. The story is that Biden’s pre-announcement lead is slipping, Sanders is making big gains, and only relative scraps appear to be going to the rest of the field. It’s just one measure of where the field currently stands.

I don’t understand why this is always the response to enthusiasm for Sanders. I doubt you’d be taking such a cautioning tone if the polls showed Harris or Gillibrand at the top of currently-announced candidates. In any case, it’s quickly becoming a trope, and it feels like it’s designed to shift focus away from the…

“It’s not that the Democratic Caucus is rallying behind him; most of them would prefer a more mainstream nominee, even if they’re unwilling to say it at this point. But they’re giving Sanders props for what he’s accomplished, and say if he’s able to win the nomination, more power to him,” Politico’s Burgess Everett…

Pretty good!

Yeah, I have watched every single MCU movie just for shits and giggles, and at this point I can barely stave off the inevitable state of half-sleep in the middle of them anymore. It’s the same with every mainstream comic book movie, really. These are never great, or even good, movies. They’re just flashy timewasters.

Says the guy who probably thinks Christopher Nolan is the greatest director of all time. I have been duly chastened by your impeccable Comic-Con Attendee logic.

How long did the kid with Affluenza serve.

Affluenza teen got probation for killing multiple people. 5 years is crazy

Yeah, Schultz wouldn’t get moderate Dem votes, because moderate Dems are also the most likely to vote blindly for whoever has the D next to their name in order to defeat the Republican. And Schultz obviously isn’t going to get “protest” votes from progressives, either, because he isn’t a progressive. The only votes…

I really hope people remember how obnoxious they find Schultz’s “how will you pay for it?” shtick during the 2020 Dem primary debates, when Sanders is inevitably asked that very same question by, like, Amy Klobuchar or Kirsten Gillibrand. Who am I kidding? They’ll clap and cheer and go on about how the question makes…

Hey, Howard, to point out the obvious: The spoiler in all of this will be you if you run as an independent candidate.

So your answer is literally to not do anything until we pack the Supreme Court. Got it. Have fun getting any-fucking-one to vote for that shit. Might as well not even run anybody to oppose Trump in 2020 with a super hopeful message like that.

Nah, dude. We’re going to sit here instead and pretend that this shitty movie is worth seeing because some neckbeards on Reddit decided to talk crap about it. Media journalism isn’t about promoting good stuff; it’s about promoting reactionary, tribalistic takes while gigantic Hollywood studios laugh all the way to the…

So you’re saying that your company would let you be out of work for 4-5 days, but only charge you one sick day? I mean, that’s great and all, but I don’t think there are many companies that have replicated that system, no matter what era we’re talking about. For most people, it’s either going to be a sick/vacation…

But if you compare eg. estimated working hours, nutrition, diseases, etc. hunter gatherers come out on top.

Yeah, PTO makes so much more sense. I have yet to see anybody who bitches about PTO successfully explain how having discrete “sick days” and “vacation days” solves any of the problems that PTO allegedly suffers from.
