Nuts and dried fruit trail mix, not the ones with candy, and a few assorted protein bars.

Here’s reality. I don’t accept your version of reality. There’s no reason we can’t endeavor to change things for the better for most people, and there’s a great deal we can improve. “The devil we know” is an excuse, mostly born of fear. I want us to move in a different direction than we are on now, I will vote that…

He did pay $25 million for his Fraud University settlement. He also paid a fine and had his very own Trump “Charity” shut down for self-dealing.  There have been some other settlements over the years as I recall.  But not the orange jumpsuit to match his skin kind of consequences.  Hoping that comes soon.

Three Americans have more wealth than the bottom 50%. How could you possibly say that’s “fine”?

Done that with “yes” numerous time in my travels.

The EC is our invention, and ours to fix, or not. We know what havoc it can cause, and yet you say but maybe all that havoc wouldn’t be prevented by changing it, so let’s just keep it the way it is. It’s the devil we know. I couldn’t disagree more.

I shouldn’t bother. I really feel like I’m talking to someone who lives in a cave reading books from the 1700's. Ask Iraq if the EC had any impact on them or if their world “blew up”. Bush directly caused the Iraq apocalypse and 100's of thousands of deaths. A staggering war crime, and very probably the worst foreign…

“Catastrophic???” What catastrophes do you see?

Until we change the campaign finance and lobbying with cash laws this is what we will get.

“why bring up our unpopular and confused healthcare policies when we could be gloating over the Mueller report?”

What’s the trend on 18-29 yr olds who identify as Republicans? If the total is shrinking and the hardcore remain the anti-LGBTQ total could be staying the same or even shrinking and the percent increasing.

Doubt it. Every car on the road today is running with a tank of highly flammable liquid fuel. We’ve just gotten used to it, and insurance takes it into account already. Batteries will be made safer than gasoline.

You’ve pretty consistently tried using straw man arguments. I did not once contend a popular vote would prevent us from electing idiots. The bogus argument I often see from the right about change is it won’t be perfect. It only needs to be better. Of course there is no guarantee, just as you can’t guarantee the EC…

Let’s see his tax returns for the past decade, all the translator notes from the private meetings with Putin, the contents of the private emails and messages on personal devices by Tbaby, Ivanka and Jared, and the full Mueller report. Then we’ll see if any apologies are warranted.  In the meantime you can start on…

You’ve simply confirmed a fear of and aversion to democracy. Appealing to the founding fathers and what they intended is vacuous and utterly irrelevant to our society today. They intended and enacted all sorts of things that are without any question whatsoever products of their time, education, experiences and…

All I see in your arguments are rationalizations straining to maintain the possibility that the values, preferences and beliefs held by the minority can prevail over the majority, and a disdain for democracy. I assume you see mine as the other side of that coin. You can pretend you won, you didn’t. There’s strong…

“’Populist’ candidates, are by definition trying to rally the majority against the minority elites. Multiple shitty leaders have taken over countries including our own with the popular vote. But in spite of all this, the system works and survives.’

I’m old. I still have loops that play in my head from sports I played when I was a kid. I can’t imagine Dawkins living with this one.

And Tacko wasn’t called on a blatant foul on Zion a couple minutes earlier.  Not a partisan.  Heck of a game.

“This is how the system was designed. Not just no mass violence, but the longest running democracy in existence.”
