Vote for Warren, #AbsoluteSexMonster2020

Shit’s still happening to this day. This was over ten years ago, but a company I used to work for had a habit of laying off or firing women from the hourly staff shortly after they got back from their honeymoons. Someone brought up the trend at an all hands Q&A, and management freaked the fuck out at the allegation it…

“Capitalism” isn’t exporting American values of liberty and democracy. It’s importing the autocratic ideals of China and Russia.

$6 for ballpark Nachos? I haven’t been to a game in years and it was easily twice that. I guess it looks less out of touch if you under-estimate it rather than over-estimate it.

The reason they aren’t as afraid of Bernie (and the reason I very slightly prefer Warren even as I give both of them money) is that they don’t think he can win the nomination. And between not having the “never Clinton” voters from 2016, and the leftover acrimony that many Clinton supporters still have for him, they…

Yea, the fuckup was the way the trailer was cut by some poor marketing intern. The episode handles the topic really really well.

One of the things that the episode handles really well (I say this as a cis-het male married to a trans non-binary bi/pan afab) is that it really explores some of the more esoteric gender and sexuality terms and how... at a certain point all these labels start to seem silly.

Yeah, except the character who gave the pansexuality speech was an adult, and a teacher at that.

If we’re being fair, the bit really works a lot better in the context of the episode as we see more of Ally’s character and her background. She has a reason for coming out so aggressively.

That’s a good campaign public finance reform option.

I like this. It’s something that the DNC could do unilaterally to cut corporate influence on the party.

I’m just so glad this Hunter Biden shit came out when it did. None of these wild conspiracy theories about CrowdStrike or Biden’s motivations for targeting that prosecutor are true of course*. But they can still be damaging, and if Biden had been allowed to ease through the coronation nomination without this coming…

At this point, a mass murder/suicide in rural compound is seeming more and more likely.

The choice before the global community is to stand by and watch Turkey commit another genocide, or to intercede and risk a host of economic and political backlash.

And so here we are with the Kurds in Syria. We backed them, they fought IS with the help of some of our special operatives, and now just as things are really about to get hairy, we’re ghosting on them.

This operation is almost certainly going to look more like an invasion

It’s not just intimidation, it’s not just a threat, it’s a stone cold promise. He wants these two people dead, and he wants anyone else thinking of coming forward to know he wants them dead too.

If he’s being really honest with himself, I think he should know that this will really undermine his “electability” by presenting a huge vulnerability for Trump (or Pence, or fuck it, maybe Mitt Romney or Nikki Haley at this point) to exploit.

(1) if the left leaning vote is divided between Warren and Sanders, that allows Biden to get momentum
