False. PAC money can’t overcome first past the post and the Electoral college. Even if we gave a third party candidate 100% of the pack money. They wouldn’t win. Because of how the system works.

Absolutely. It just depends a lot on the game of course. A blueray disk can contain over 100 GB. But a game could be split over several disks too. It was rather common to do that with CDs on the original PlayStation.

Heh well conservatives are irrational, but then again. Sometimes numbers are too. But 2.999999999999 + 2.9999999999 is pretty darn close to 3.

I’ll tell you same as I told them. Unless you have a populist General uprising in your pocket. Then your rhetoric is empty. I’m 100% ready for a popular general non-leninist uprising. Let’s go. But I don’t have time or bandwidth for empty holier than thou virtue signaling. I actually want things to not get worse and possibly even make them better. Not enable the worst people among us.

First of all its ghoulishly disingenuous for you to conflate providing arms. Which is wrong I’m not justifying that. To actually killing people. That’s straight up empty virtue signaling and not solving or convincing anyone of anything.

I asked who stands a chance. And you quoted it without even answering it. Useless. Right now the only viable option other than R or D in the presidential campaign is a widespread general uprising. Which I’m all for. If you got one let’s go kiddo. But I got news for you. If you don’t. What you’re doing is empty virtue signaling that only helps the worst people around. And makes enemies of possible allies. Which is how I know your words are empty.

For large values of 2 it can even approach 6.

The sad truth is, give us someone who does. Who stands a chance. Then and only then will that discussion matter. Till then, not making things abjectly worse is sadly the best option. And we can push to improve from there. As opposed to trying to push to improve from a worse position in 4 years time.

No. She literally can’t. You can either be Pure or you can have power. But not both. They hate what AOC has become with a passion. Because she is not pure anymore. Just actually making a difference. For them it is strictly about virtue signaling. And not accomplishing anything. Because doing things is hard. Just saying the things that people want to hear. That shit is as easy as it gets.

Now that shits karma.

Well we all can’t be perfect… Ly irrational like Ozma. At the very least you are a very good meat popsicle, or at least a far superior algorithm then they.

This person ozmas.

Vance was born in Middletown Ohio. He never was a hillbilly or an appalachian. So it can always get worse. It would be an insult to veneers to call his projected identity a thin veneer. I don’t think it’s substantial enough to even be a laquer.

The dude is trading on stories told to him by his parents and grandparents when he was a wee little ottoman fucker. Passing it off as if it was his accomplishment.

Yes I find it much more likely that Opie was fed a line into that big gaping Gob of his. By a metro sexual upholstery fetishist who saw an easy mark.

Well I think it’s pretty safe to say that when it comes to conservatism these days. There’s nothing more genuine than being fake.

Look into Vance a bit deeper. He’s no hillbilly. Nor Appalachian. He was born in Middletown Ohio. He went to Yale. He’s latched on to experiences only heard about in stories from his family. Pretending it was something he did. He’s the lowest kind of low.

A roast is done with the subject in attendance. And they get a chance to respond. This is just a clan rally under a different name.

How ron? How? Why wouldn’t a creepy grifter continue to be a creepy grifter

Yes but the only problem with that is the reason we have regulation was the free market. It’s like the economic liberals that call themselves libertarians. Claiming that all our economic problems are because of regulations. And don’t get me wrong there absolutely are regulations that are bad that need to be changed. But the horrors of even the worst regulation. Are nothing compared to the horrors of unregulated unfettered capitalism.

Unfortunately though for too many Americans are completely brainwashed to the point where. You could make a series of unintelligible grunts, shout MERICA! Free market! Yeeeeeehaaaaw! And have just made a convincing policy platform.

First go check VB’s post history. Some of the criticism is well deserved.

Second, depending on the framing and audience, Democrats absolutely are the left. If you are in heavily socialist places that claim will rightfully get you laughed at. Since we defined it as capitalist vs not. And any type of liberal is staunchly unwaveringly capitalist to a fault. But outside that you’re just talking past people to score points.

Are Democrats progressive? Absolutely. Like a snail is speedy. But snails still get around. It isn’t satisfactory to myself or a lot of others. But it’s nothing to disregard. They’ll eventually get to the right answer after they’ve tried every other option. But they CAN get there unlike Republicans. And we CAN speed it up with cooperation and solidarity where it makes sense.

No Democrats aren’t moving right. If you define right as capitalist there’s nothing right of economic-liberalism/liberals or neoliberals/neoconservatives. Are they wavering somewhat rudderless on social issues trying to check what direction political winds might be blowing to find support? Absolutely. But they still, after far too long, did eventually bring about equal marriage rights for gay couples. And while it’s far from perfect they do provide understanding and support in general to trans groups. They absolutely need to do more and to do better. But they can be worked with and reasoned with. Perhaps just not trusted.
