The Left had two chances to get Bernie Sanders nominated. In 2020 he did better in the caucus states [where the DNC would be able to exert more control of the outcome]. The Left failed both times. Maybe we should stop looking at the Dems and get our act together. FYI I contributed to Bernie both cycles.
Sure it is, but I feel you
So, this whole thing has been about your feelings?
Whatever.
Look at it realistically.
She’s not living a better life style than Frank Sinatra or Micheal Jackson did in their heyday.
If we can split the vote the Left has a chance of moving ahead.
I’ve been hoping for a war between the MAGoos and the old guard RNC for almost a decade.
I knew it was a fantasy when I wrote it. I mean, obviously they pay more for lawyers than anything else.
Just amazing how far they can stretch the law without it snapping back on them.
I once read a novel from the 1970s. There were a couple of thugs who were arguing over who’d had more STIs. It was a simpler, happier time.
I hadn’t heard that algorithmic health care decisions had been ruled illegal. If the company were doing that, couldn’t they be considered a criminal enterprise?
And she’s not on the list of the top richest people in the world.
If you look at her life style, she’s not doing much better than Mick Jagger or Michael Jackson were when they were at the top.
On the other hand, look at the salaries of executives. CEOs who used to make 50 times what their employees made are a thing of the distant past.
Here’s the main reason I worry about people taking direct action.
So, this isn’t a thread about direct action?
Because gunning someone down seems pretty direct to me.
Think about this. Public sex clubs like ‘Plato’s Retreat’ and gay bath houses were mainstream in the 1970s. Bette Midler got her start performing at a gay bath house. There were porn theaters catering to couples all over the place. AIDS came along and threw everything back fifty years.
Here’s the main reason I worry about people taking direct action.
Blackwater et al.
If you think that companies run and staffed by ex-CIA operatives don’t have a plan to capitalize on civil unrest, you haven’t been paying attention.

Michelle Wolf on the idea of ‘having it all’
No. Guess I’ll have to start paying her more attention.
Sometimes I wonder about how many songs the average person would know throughout history. An ancient Roman would be exposed to songs from the entire Empire, while a 1000 AD English farmer might only hear a few dozen in their whole life time.
Since this is a comedy thread, I’ll paraphrase John Cleese.
The great thing about anger is that it really works. It makes you physically stronger and less likely to feel pain. If you’re angry all the time you aren’t worrying about things because you’ve got a target to go after.
I’ll throw in another comedy classic.
The musical “The Music Man” is about a conman who gets the whole town in an uproar over a pool table.
I like the joke where the woman says that women won’t be taken seriously until they commit half the murders…
And she’s getting damned tired of doing her part to bring up the average.
What are you babbling about?
I responded to a comment EXACTLY the way I am responding to your comment.
What is the difference?
[and yes, I still find this whole exchange amusing]
That’s just gibberish.
And it’s spelt ‘meant’
[off topic]
One of their favorite tactics is to wait until someone is dead and then distort [or flat out lie] about that person’s opinions during life.
Ray Bradbury was mad that there were no space missions during the Obama years. After he died the Right tried to play off that Bradbury was a life long conservative who saw Obama as a traitor.
