What value do you believe this “rebuke” has in a process that doesn’t end with Trump being removed from power by force of the law? Do you really believe he is going to finally admit how ashamed he is and resign willingly? Or do you simply not care that, if he doesn’t leave office, some way, somehow, the whole event…

I’m not saying MK11 is handling everything well, but this has really demonstrated that people don’t know what the fuck they want, except something to bitch about.

I’m so glad we keep pushing the graphical limits, guys. What would loot box UIs look like if we didn’t? *shudder*

Sweeny knows Valve can’t easily do this, so he’s taking advantage of that by taking the podium to look like the good guy.

No hard evidence, obviously, but I highly doubt that Steam is being hurt much, if at all, by the Epic storefront. 

I still don’t see how PC storefront exclusivity is anti-consumer in any way shape or form. Console gamers don’t lose their shit this badly when PS4 or Xbox One has exclusivity and that requires an actual purchase. It’s fucking embarrassing really.

How does this logic even work? If you have to toss bags of money at studios and publishers to get them to release games on your platform, then obviously the 88% split, which Epic touts as the platform’s biggest appeal to game producers, isn’t actually all that appealing. That’s really all Epic is admitting here. To…

I thought the people pissing about folks they don’t like using social media weren’t in favor of using algorithms to police content, because those algorithms always get shit wrong, and we need to just hire millions of real people to sift through the bullshit and take down / ban on a case-by-case basis. So why the…

Okay. How? Be specific. Give concrete examples. Have a plan. Do exactly what the other forum candidates did and spell it out for us.

There is more than enough rope to hang Bernie on that he didn’t need any help at all. For real you Bernie stans are funny as shit about his sketchy voting history, taxes and his sudden desire to defend his wealth. He’s accomplished nothing meaningful after thirty years in the senate but hey grifters gonna girft huh?

The event was hosted by Joy Reid. Need anyone say more?

Well, you could argue we’ve already seen it in practice. In 2000, George W. Bush won 25 electoral votes from the state of Florida, allowing him to defeat Al Gore. As Quartz reported in conjunction with the Sentencing Project, there were some 827,000 inmates and felons who weren’t granted the right to vote that year…

Yes, people would vote in droves for a Sanders/Warren ticket. Do you think that asking that question constitutes a solid counterargument?

If our politicians aren’t thinking in terms of the strategic value of their actions, then we shouldn’t want them representing us.

When I talk about “success,” what I mean is using the impeachment process as a stepping stone in removing Trump from office procedurally. If we can make that happen, then great, impeach away. But if we don’t think it will happen—and not many do at this point—then it will be a major win for Trump and only serve to…

My entire point is that, if we try this and we don’t win (which in this case means ousting him from the presidency) we will lose. And losing means increasing the odds of Trump winning in 2020. To not even try to deal with this as a matter of strategy is political malpractice.

What do you think is going to happen if Trump is made to submit to questioning in Congress? Do you really believe this will be the moment when he falls? If so, then great, at least you’re thinking strategically. But if not, you are just hoping, at best, for some bit of cheap catharsis, regardless of whether it…

If you’re not thinking strategically, then you really don’t care whether Trump is in the White House or not. Guess I’ll leave it there.

I know. And what I’m saying is that if the impeachment process doesn’t lead to an eventual booting from office, it will be a victory for Trump, and a failure for us.

I think that if we nominate someone who presses issues rather than “vote for me because I’m not the big orange cheeto,” or whatever, that person will win, and win fairly big. If we nominate somebody who plans, like Hillary did, on just sitting back and hoping the media will do the job by assassinating Trump’s…
