See, my main criticism of her is that I worry that she lacks the very specific skill set that a candidate needs to defeat Donald Trump; namely, that they know how to handle a confrontation with an abusive personality type

Yea, her whole 2c on a dollar for the super rich bit is great. And I agree she does a better job working with the more moderate factions. The DNC has already shown its hate for Sanders, this time wont be any different. At least he keeps providing her with cover.

Doing both makes sense in some situations; however when a question is as asinine as that one was, I am perfectly fine with the way she handled that situation. Especially because she spoke to the heart of the issue instead of a hard pivot to a topic only tangentially related.

As much as I would like to get behind this generations FDR, someone who is going to make drastic changes to our way of life, government, etc, I also only want to be as aggressive as practicality allows. Warren is always going to have an authenticity problem, former republican, and so on. I argue authenticity is…

I agree that it is common for politicians, especially in these formats where they have to leave a mark, to “pivot” questions into topics they want to talk about and they think will differentiate them, or to avoid a question they dont have a good answer for. That’s Yang shoving UBI into every response, or like anytime…

I do not get the point that your trying to make. That the fossil fuel industry is for consumers, so they are just as responsible; because they choose to have transportation, electricity, and other basic necessities the fossil fuel industry has successfully monopolized?

I imagine it was only “announced” that day as means to generate buzz.

Yea, with you on this. It’s not like they’re diametrically opposed. They have similar goals even if they take slightly different paths to achieve those goals.

Do I have to vpn from the US?

This is the shittiest Nineteen Eighty-Four prequel. 

Man its almost as if this predictable reaction was the one that was expected and intended. Dave’s not dumb and the whole thing was meta. It is his laugh on our reactionary culture, he said what he said to inflame and it worked. Some of it was funny, some of it wasn’t, but it was all built to create this news-cycle.…

Does HamNo ever release an opinion article that doesn’t rival War and Peace (in length)?

Any idiot who breaks the law based on a promise from Drumpf deserves whats coming to them. If there is one thing you can bank on, it sure as hell isn’t a promise from that dotard.

That’s a sentiment I can get behind.

Aside from the fact that it was hyperbolic, I assume he thinks the arresting officers were also the investigators. Which is unlikely, but too nuanced for (justifiable in this case, I suppose) internet rage. 

So clutch.

I responded, but on second thought decided to edit out giving you the satisfaction of being taken seriously.  

Well this is dumb, a huge waste of money, a governmental overreach, an opportunity for graft, and vaguely reminiscent of a spec script for Black Mirror. It’s got all of Trump’s calling cards. If the NRA gets behind it, I give it 50/50 odds of happening in some form if this shit show gets a sequel and continues past…

It is pretty clearly a bird. Aside from the fact that there is no mouth visible when the hand moves, you can see it blink its nictitating membrane at about 10 seconds in. I am not aware of any breed of rabbit that has a nicitating membrane, but there are plenty of birds who have them. They’re like built in goggles for…

Well I’m glad thats settled. No way they just keep calling her Pocahontas anyway. That would be offensive to both her and native peoples. Nope, there’s absolutely no way this is still a thing in 12 months if her candidacy is also still a thing.
