That’s why I say I don’t think Biden will win, but with how divided the field is, he doesn’t have to win to cause someone like Harris to lose.

If real people weren’t being hurt by it, then our society’s inability to rationally and coherently deal with sexual assault allegations would be funny.

I don’t know that I agree about Medicare for all. The polling on what people really want when you get past a slogan, even Democrats, is mixed, and I think what Klobuchar has suggested, which is a focus on a strong public option first, checks off more of those boxes than you might think (especially seeing as a strong…

A couple of thoughts:

It could also be that she thinks those big money donors will find ways to shell out in the general election regardless. She’s got a strong enough support base to get deep enough into the primary that, if she’s going to win, she’ll be able to tap the small donor base again to finish out the race. She’ll want that big…

I don’t think that’s quite it. Living in Trump country, there’s no way to get around having friends/associates who are or were Trump supporters. For the few that have given up on Trump, it’s not that they thought he would be “bad”. It’s that they thought he would be crass, bombastic and ridiculous, but that ultimately…

Yeah, I’m sitting here thinking that the real problem is that the Democratic primary for 2016 wasn’t really just the primary for the Democratic nomination in that election, it was the start of a broader conflict within the party.

Useless centrists Karen Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer are basically Republican anyways, so really, what’s the harm?

Honestly I can’t tell if you people are this disingenuous or really this easy for populists to manipulate.

Net zero emissions isn’t necessary to deal with the problem posed by climate change. Which is good because, in addition to being unnecessary, it’s simply not feasible on any time scale that’s shorter than, I dunno, a century?

There are more people in the world than these 3 ladies, the people who agree with them, and Trump and his supporters. Maybe you’re privileged enough to live in a fuzzy little space that lets you believe otherwise, and if so, bully for you.

Worst tragedy?

Yeah and I suspect that the viewpoint of her line prosecutor was “A man who admitted to kidnapping and raping an underaged girl in court would like DNA testing in connection with two murders he was convicted of”.

Oh sweetie pie, that’s because in your world there’s no such thing as degrees. For example,  I want robust action on climate change, but I also have no interest in pushing for net zero emissions in ten years.

I should be more clear, I know that, but the reality is there are more people in the universe than these 3 ladies and Donald Trump supporters.

That’s the spirit.

Beating yourself up over bad things that happen to you isn’t worth the trouble.   It’s really the sort of thing you should pay other people to do for you.

As funny as that might be from a 4th wall trolling perspective, I think the death fundamentally has to be unsympathetic.

At this point, I assume he’s going to get Frank Underwood-ed in between seasons.

There are plenty of people who disagree with these ladies who also want what’s best for the people they represent.
