“...fact-based approaches to that preparation are likely to see more people take it seriously than screaming about the end of the fucking world every time a supercell thinks about forming.”

I assume a dick towel hangs in an area where it’s not going to bunch up or get caught in your gear while you’re PUMPING IRON, BRO.

Same thing with Hillary. She never had the cult following, but suddenly there was a ton of HILLARY RAN OVER MY DOG, THAT BITCH level vitriol everywhere.

Let’s not downplay Hillary’s idiotic refusal to even engage with rust belt and Midwestern states until a week before the election while also going into places like WV and telling them “your entire family’s life work is dying out, too bad, so sad, good luck.”

Pretty much anyone would.

The lines of attack on those two were more about Hillary being a Clinton and Obama being a black guy who wasn’t born in the US than about either one being a socialist, but still, your point is taken.

If there’s one thing even the GOP couldn’t paint Joe Biden as, it’s a socialist.

There’s still time for a cage fight format where we just lower a chain link enclosure around the participants and wait for one survivor to stand tall. I’m just floating the idea.

“It would be a shame if we elected a new president who faced the same enmity and obstruction in the Senate that Obama had to live through...”

Jesus, that's like every single rule about safe and proper lifting form broken in one photo.

What do you think the chances are that Donny and Eric drink Miller High Life because it’s the “Champagne of Beers” and they think that makes it fancy? 95%

Oh, you’re one of the “make them own it” crowd, like them doing that matters to anyone at all. Let’s agree to disagree.

Well, you can’t agree with me on that because that’s not how I feel. But regardless, now we’re right back where we started. If they don’t do anything, then they get attacked for that. The only result here that makes everyone (on this side) happy is the one that’s unattainable.

I largely agree with that logic, but there’s an argument (a flawed one) to be made that when you float a bill that had no chance of passing, then you can name whoever votes against it and use that against THEM in campaign ads (“we wanted to increase your farm subsidies, but Chester Snotfluffer voted against the…

And if they go that route, then they get attacked for not doing anything.

“They need to NOT fuck it up.”

Not really. It’s already hard as shit to get most voters to pay attention to the issues, which is why everything has to get boiled down to a 15 second soundbite or two sentence quote. If the current president is under impeachment, forget it. What do you think the media is going to cover 24/7: that or Jay Inslee’s…
