The video on cancel looks like QVC. The “Trump Combat Knife” and banner promoting patriotaddictdeals.com just sum up the Republican party so well.

I go to Rallies with presidential candidates to listen to music and form my political opinions by listening to DJs.

Perhaps “nobody” is slight exaggeration. But I guarantee that more people would buy Girl Scout cookies for $5 than a mystery box for $200.

Nobody snatches defeat from the jaws of victory like a Democrat.

Nobody just gives away $200, and buying a “mystery box” from an anonymous stranger is the same thing.

Biden could have decided not to run at any point. Many people were calling for him not to run and he didn’t suddenly become an 80 year old.

Biden waited until after the primaries to step down. I’m glad he’s gone, but “she was the only choice” because of Biden’s choice.

You can’t tell progressives “Vote in the primaries!” when you don’t even hold primaries.

That looks so much like a scam. Granted, the line is paper thin.

more of the people bitching about the ultimate candidate actually voted in the primaries

I want to push back on this. “The people bitching” were probably out knocking doors for their candidate with me. It’s just one more insult that moderates use. We don’t have the massive get out the vote machine that the establishment does, but my guess is that the most vocal people are pretty active.

they may have made a difference

“May” is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting here.

The DNC is a private entity able to pick it’s candidate however it deems fit. The primaries are like a basketball game where the refs are wearing the other team’s uniforms.

Yeah, that’s about what I’m thinking. A manned mission to Mars could be an interesting project for our kids or grandkids. Anyone talking about it in our lifetimes is just a grifter.

2016 and 2020 make great examples of how the Democratic establishment rallies around their preferred candidate to ensure that The centrist choice wins. There was a lot of activism in the primaries, how in the world can you call that “showing up to bitch”? Then this year Biden conveniently did not allow us to have primaries.

You really can’t tell progressives to just “vote in the primaries” when it’s very clear that Democrats will do everything in their power to prevent a progressive from being nominated.

There’s one party that pretends to support it publicly as long as they can blame the Republicans for “blocking it”.

Ftfy. This is the Democrats go to game plan.

It is insulting to pretend Democrats support ranked choice voting while they’re suing to keep it off of the ballot in DC.

I love the aesthetic. I fully support Art Deco public transportation.

A bus designed by someone who absolutely hates public transportation is pretty funny though. “I wish these seats faced each other so I could sit knee to knee with a stranger.” -Nobody Ever

And there’s so little passenger space, they have a “luggage” compartment in the front. So I suppose I’m just supposed to put my bag there, out of my sight, then hope nobody takes it before I get off?

Can you think of any realistic benefit to a manned mission to Mars?

Bringing back samples would be an amazing feat, and that seems a worthwhile mission. Having a human onboard seems to complicate things far more than any data that would give us would be worth.

Jesus Christ. Read whatever it was one more time, buddy.

Ah, I get it. Really interesting, thanks!

a candidate should work to appeal to 100% of their voter base

Less a proposal and more of a fact: People won’t vote for a candidate who does not support the issues that they support. You can’t expect a voter who is against fracking to vote for a candidate who supports fracking.

If Kamala supports fracking and the majority of voters do not, it is up to her to change, not the voters.

i consider this a voter skill issue

Yeah… Democrats want to blame the voters so they can continue to court wealthy donors. If everyone in Michigan promises to “Vote Blue No Matter Who” then they can continue arming Israel without losing any Muslim votes. Unfortunately that’s not how things work.

What an odd question. As usual, Democrats won with a diverse voting bloc because the majority of white people voted for Republicans.

It took me about 20 seconds to find that 39% of white women voted for Obama. Why didn’t you research that before commenting?

I really am shocked that “White women vote for Republicans” is somehow surprising, but that drives home the point I’ve been making this whole time.

Cool! Are there different Finnish accents? Geographic, socioeconomic, or otherwise?

Maybe

Granted, I think a human stomach is more difficult to traverse than a frog, and it’s more likely that it came in the back door. I’m just not willing to rule it out.

i mean that’s a fair statement, but she wouldn’t be running on fracking if she thought it was detrimental, so it’s either not a huge concern for most voters, or there is something more than being let on in the rhetoric here.

You’re begging the question here. If Democrats paid attention to their voters we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Generally, critics of Dem strategy believe that they are too beholden to wealthy donors.

Democrats blame Jill Stein for Clinton’s loss. But Dems can’t force her not to run again, or people not to vote for her. If Kamala doesn’t win, it will be because she didn’t convince enough people to vote for her, not because Jill Stein is running.
