Agreed in full. One of these people is a multi-billionaire who can be counted to veto anything that might harm his pocketbook.

I guess there is an outside chance, not great but possible, that this is effectively the Republican Party calling in the cavalry. By most accounts, Hope Hicks didn’t have many skills, but one very valuable skill was the ability to get Donald Trump to walk back the glaring stupidity without apparently having to resort…

Worse, the thing is, that’s actually a structural argument in favor of Sanders, not against. Literally, the argument why we, progressives and liberals in the party, must compromise and vote for the mealy-mouthed moderate, is because that is necessary to get the votes of people who won’t vote for everything we want.

This entire ecosystem, which appears to be getting bigger every day, was bankrolled and built by people who have concluded the only way to reform the system is to build another one where the simplest form of healthcare is a saleable and aspirational experience, not a service. And definitely not a right.

I think Warren’s just catching it from all sides at once. Contrary to what you might think from the Bernie Bro narrative, young white women with a college education are some of Sanders’ strongest supporters. In the AOC demographic, Sanders has been kicking the crap out of all comers for a while now. But if you look at…

But a big part of her weakness as a politician/campaigner is in not anticipating that in the first place.

“Now, I don’t know what else I have to say about it, this is the teaching of the church. The Canon Law of the church, the Second Vatican Council, and the First Catechism of the church. I don’t know what more evidence I should have to present,” Bucci told WJAR.

I don’t feel like that’s a very strong argument. Warren has absolutely been harmed by a misogynist double standard, but she’s also not a very skilled campaigner or politician. Clinton never got nearly as much credit for her skills as a politician as she deserved, but Clinton was way better at this than Warren.

The only technically accurate answer to that question is “Not be black in America.” Which he really couldn’t do.

Edit: Even better .gif

I’d disagree on the last sentence: there’s one longer shot than counting Virginia. And that would be starting over.

I try not to objectify, but the noodle arms of someone who does all cardio, no weight training was the first thing I noticed as well. If she was a competitive rower, she should have arms and shoulders like Emily Blunt in Edge of Tomorrow. Less obviously, she should also have calluses and scars on her hands and a lot…

After all the conflicts Starfleet has engaged in, the particles seems like they could be pretty useful. But Picard and crew still stop the admiral. I know Picard was trying to protect the Ba’ku and loved his speech, “How many people does it take, admiral, before it becomes wrong?” but wasn’t there a way to work out…

So wait, based on the She Wore a Yellow Ribbon context, I can’t even tell whether the original “dog-faced soldier” appelation counts as an insult. Was he actually complimenting her as an underpaid, undervalued professional who shows honor and discipline even in spite of institutional neglect? Because that doesn’t…

By all expert accounts, live births following abortions are not actually a thing that happens, and according to attorney generals from around the country, not a single physician has ever been charged with or even suspected of denying medical care to a live-born infant after a botched abortion.

Klobuchar 2020: “Because you know that regular coffee after 4 keeps you up at night.”

Yeah, I’m reasonably certain Geralt of Rivia has a few quest lines in Klobmentum in the Witcher games.
