Mad Max meets HEMA

World’s in a bad condition. We’re not the top model, but sadly we’re probably in the top 10% still.

When do we send him into the desert for 40 years?

If the Dems did their usual maneuver and gave the GOP everything they wanted they’d just make up new demands. The real goal is to kneecap Ukrainian aid.

“When all the moderates drop out and unite behind one candidate with mere days before the polls open, the progressives would need to do the same to have a chance of victory.”

“lmao listen to this guy and his motivated reasoning”

Unsurprising. The chance of there being another government in Afghanistan in the near future is very low.

More concerning is that the Taliban has been involved in selling off long-term contracts at dirt-cheap costs to fuel their oppressive regime for a few more years. Not actually faulting China for this, but it’s gonna hurt Afghanistan in the long run when the Taliban collapses and those contracts are still in place.

It’s not funny to say she deserved it, that’s just repackaging the “she was asking for it” trope.

Is it? People can deserve shitty things happening to them without it being their fault. I can someone someone deserved to be hit by lightning without saying they were asking for lightning to hit them.

But why would they want to escape from the People’s Paradise of North Korea? /s

The second half of your comment does not follow from the first half – that nonsense about Bernie running as a third-party candidate is nothing but a dishonest strawman argument.

But… what? How?

My point is that winning the Dem primary is important unless you think Bernie can win as a third party candidate. Which is true, because that’s how party nominations work??

Man, I don’t know how many times I have to emphasize the circumstances of Super Tuesday in 2020 before people get it through their fucking heads.

Unless you think Bernie could’ve run as a third party candidate and won in the general election, the primary is still incredibly important in any consideration of a realistic scenario of Bernie’s candidacy.

Hey, man, I’m not disagreeing with that assessment of the general election. But unfortunately, he needed to win the Dem primary to get to that point, and in 2016, it would have taken Hillary dropping the n-bomb on live tv to get Bernie over the finish line. She had a lot of name recognition and organization, her reputation hadn’t been completely cratered by losing to America’s biggest loser at that point, and Bernie was borderline taken by surprise by his success in '16. Man had been preaching the same thing for 30 years and suddenly, almost out of nowhere, interest surged like a wave.

He was much more prepared in '20 (and had more name recognition to boot).

Big mood

It’s not good that violent shitheads are violent shitheads. Obviously, the violent party is in the wrong. But I don’t know that I exactly have any sympathy for the victim when the Queen of the Leopards Eating Peoples’ Faces Party gets her face eaten.

Look, I would just feel better if you had the certificate…
