A chance at what? He's been in office almost uninterrupted for 25 years.

Or… DON'T DO IT. There's no reason they HAD to do it.

If they were going to go forward with the death, they should have dealt with it accordingly. The best way to keep the tone of the show would be to have just not gone through with a tone-defying plot choice with massive ramifications.

Yes, but like, frugally. It's hard to convince donors that you NEED their money if you're spending it on what might be perceived as luxuries.

I do not think that Dino is necessarily saying we need to *sympathize* with their reasoning, just that in the overarching political discussion, we have to consider this population as a factor and address it as one.

They are wrong but they're the people who are taking real action on legislation.

While I see the angle of this argument I have to agree with what I'm assuming is Dino's point, that reducing it to this generalization doesn't really carry any weight with the *women* who are doing so much of the groundwork to push anti-choice legislation.

When her bank account was closed and all the funds transferred to his account, and he embraces her and promises he's going to take care of her no matter what. Yeah. Yikes. (Thank goodness we later see he's down to gtfo, but that may have been because any second marriages were no longer considered real marriages)

I think your assumption is probably correct. Pro-lifers don't view the legislation they support as being invasive of bodily autonomy, they view it as protecting the bodily autonomy of the fetus, and that such legislation would never affect them or anyone they care about.

Because he's not a Democrat, he defected and is an Independent.

I'm mostly commenting on the fact that Rosita didn't even try to negotiate for it. That she wants desperately to kill Negan but didn't flinch at the killshot being taken from her.

Well the Avatar's bending abilities are different than the rest of the world's bending abilities, for multiple reasons… other benders are only capable of bending *one* of the elements, the Avatar is a spirit with the innate ability to commune with all of nature, though it must be tapped in to via training. The Avatar…

Vilification of all things German was rampant—sauerkraut had been renamed “liberty cabbage,” while hamburgers became “liberty steaks”

Well I guess for some people the thinking is "I'm not allowed to say it" and then for others it's "I have no desire to say it cos I have no desire to hurt anyone who may hear me say it."

Ruined those words for who? Cos I think the only people they've been ruined for are people who never cared for them in the first place.

To most conservatives, loyalty to the ideology is more important than effective policy. Even if it keeps people from starving, what good is it if it means their principles have been compromised slightly??!?

"Those mechanisms tend by and large to prop up the white, the wealthy, and the male, at the expense of progress."

Of course saving Bellamy is Also Good to her, but that doesn't make it More Important. One is the step to the other.

Saving Bellamy leads to the bigger point, winning the war and saving everyone. Thanks for the direct quote to support that.

It saves the state money in trying the case. If they don't want to invest the resources for something they think is pretty clear cut, and/or if they don't think the defendant is a significant continuing threat to society, and/or if they can get something else of value from the defendant, they're willing to chop time…
