They’re like an invasion of ants that keep coming back.

There was no follow up because the news story itself was only about the dog getting a new home; the homeless woman was treated as background for the larger issue of the dog’s welfare.  Just sad.  

Now that the Yang Gang has arrived en masse; and I refuse to ungray to reply, I’ll just do a mass reply here.

I wasn’t really referring to people who need to fall in love with a candidate. In this instance, I’m thinking about Rebecca in this story. People who are poor and feel ignored.  To her, $1,000/month sounds like an answer.

He does love to hear himself speak, but his fragile ego would probably prefer to do it in front of an adoring crowd, like a rally.  We shall see.

Would be nice if that is the case.  I don’t know either.

No, Trump’s single campaign issue was “white supremacy” and to an extent “male supremacy/sexism/misogyny”. That’s a wider issue than just the wall. What does that have to do with Yang? You want democrats to be simpletons like Trump? Democratic voters have a higher threshold; particularly given how many serious issues…

“Pre presidential run”.  She never claimed that her before she ran for president, she didn’t have fund raisers.  But in her presidential run, she changed her policy.  For the better imo.

Yeah, I’m starting to come to terms with the very real possibility that Biden will be the nominee. And the only reason he is the nominee is that most democratic voters believe he is better able to defeat Trump than the other candidates. And they aren’t necessarily wrong if polls are accurate.

Trolling Buttigieg?

Unless the nominee has a vag.  

God grant me the confidence of a mediocre white male journalist praising a mediocre white male politician for a mediocre performance.

The issue isn’t wine, or caves, or whatever; it’s campaign finance and corruption.

Honesty is not being “shrill”.  And I agree.  It’s frustrating as fuck.  Men coast, women are never good enough.  But god forbid we notice the double standard or the sexism; we get crucified by the brogressives who are bad at self reflection.

Rather than repeat my comment about the gender politics at play, I’ll link it here:

I did watch the debate.  And while I’m not a fan of Klobuchar; she’s too far to the center for me, she does have a point that Buttigieg is getting more support and more credit from the moderate/centrist wing than she is, when clearly she is more accomplished than he is.  She didn’t say that exactly, but she inferred…

Did you notice that when asked the final question (which was a stupid one) of whether each candidate wanted to either ask forgiveness from someone on the stage or a former candidate or give a gift, what would they do, only two of the candidates asked for forgiveness, the two women. And they asked forgiveness for their…

Oh bullshit, Warren was great last night.  

What is congress going to do if he doesn’t?  Impeach him?  Trump is not held to account for 90% of what he does.  Also, apparently it doesn’t have to come in the form of a speech:

I think it depends on what it is they said or did as a teen and when they were a teen (was it 30 years ago or longer?). She is barely out of her teens and knows damn well that using the “n” word is a horrible thing to do in any circumstances. And it always has been.
