Dems not holding her accountable and saying she needs to resign immediately is just another tick in the box for “why Dems are so goddamn shitty at actually winning in government despite being the better of the two parties”

Repubs would gladly drive over her in a monster truck with their own children if it meant they…

Just practice for when they invite deSantis to Hollywood Studios to be Honorary Grand Marshall for the show.

A lot of the tendencies of Afrocentric history really bug me. I can completely understand why a group that has always been told “You are a group of savages, with basically no culture,” will come back with, “We come from cultures just as sophisticated as any other, with their own histories,” but I wish there wasn’t so…

Not sure why you’re saying fans like it’s ironic. Yes, if the sequel to a series they’ve been waiting on for years comes out and is a fundamentally different type of game, many of them will be disappointed. That’s not new or hard to understand.

“But you wouldn’t know that from the launch trailer which stays upbeat on the modern-day magical adventure by taking a bunch of words out of context and spinning them into deceitful accolades.”

I’m not really sure how anyone can be disappointed by BGS games anymore. They’re pretty consistent in their strengths and weaknesses. If you want a big, detailed world that’s fun to explore and kill stuff in, Starfield will very likely provide that. If you want a traditional RPG with meaningful choices and good…

Imagine getting a royal wedding invitation anywhere in Westeros. Errrr… regretfully declines, uhh we can’t find a sitter that day. Yea. That’s it.

There’s also the “ethically fraught” situation constituted by Rhaenyra’s sexual advances towards someone who is essentially a subordinate under her direct control, and who would not (reasonably) be able to refuse her if she were to press the point, given her power to have him dismissed (or killed) on a whim.

Yeah I’m not one to side with conservatives, and I think them trying to turn this into an even bigger thing is ridiculous, but we can’t pin this one on them. Leftist twitter behaved basically in exactly the way that people constantly accuse leftists of behaving and turned this into a thing when it didn’t need to be…

The problem that looms is not just indifference to religion, it’s not just ignorance about religion,” he added. “There’s also growing hostility to religion, or at least the traditional religious beliefs that are contrary to the new moral code that is ascendant in some sectors.

It makes no sense that the Republican Party is able to sell itself as the family values, protect the children party when they continue to enable these tragedies. Most people agree with gun control. How do we keep ending up with leaders who think women should be controlled and forced to give up their lives for fetuses,…

I think a lot of people are hoping this is true.  I think a lot of people are going to be shocked when it doesn’t happen.

When they lose they’ll just blame it on the young people and the leftists that they actively despise and make no effort to court. Somehow the only lesson they ever learn is “Maybe we should be more conservative” so they’ll just keep inching right until we don’t even have the illusion of 2 parties. 

Do what always happens when a disappointed electorate gets a chance to voice their disappointment - not show up.  I’m not saying that’s what I’ll do.  I’m saying that’s what’s going to happen with thousands of voters.

Ya, it boggles my mind that the Democratic strategy is still “court middle-of-the-road people” as if there are any of those left at this point.

Democrats like snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as much as they like maintaining the status quo into almost inevitable fascism.

A purity test she built for herself. A purity test she weaponizes against everyone else.

taking a more conservative stance takes the air out of the room for the GOP’s draconian policies

That’s unfortunate for Harris that Biden did that to her.  But if she can’t possibly win here, and her career is over no matter what she does, maybe she should stop trying to win by appealing to bigots with pseudo-tough talk, and just try to be humane.  After all, she’s got nothing to lose, since she is doomed.

Or he gave her something challenging that she is going to have to answer for if she runs for POTUS and will need solutions for when it is her time.

Being President requires a lot of skills and resume. Difficult tasks polish both.
