Both are strange things. Which is stranger?

I don't know much about him beyond anecdotal news reports; name recognition is nice, but legacy candidates always give me pause.
-
Cool. Thanks for that update. Though I'm not entirely sure that you aren't being sarcastic.
-
I'm not defending Antifa, nor am I accusing anyone of saying it should go unchecked; I'm pointing out that there was a false equivalency being made between the violence of antifa and white nationalism, one that is materially different from the comparison of white nationalism to nazism.
-
Sherrod Brown, Stacey Abrams, and Andrew Gillum are some other names for VP candidates.
-
Well, because they aren't two opposed factions, I wouldn't use the term "false equivalency" but rather something like an exaggeration or even hyperbole, because they are different points along, albeit the same, spectrum. That said, if white nationalism is left unchecked, what you end up getting is something resembling the Nazi party.
-
Okay. Antifa or what ever sect of it needs to be condemned. That said I see a false equivalency on a number of levels: 1) kind/degree of violence 2) frequency of incidents 3) organization outside of social media 4) historical roots, and most importantly 5) normalization. Some are pretty eager to yell: see the Left does it too, without taking the above considerations in mind.

This is a loser case. One if it's a park, recreational use statutes usually grant immunity for all but gross negligence. Two, trees aren't open and notorious dangers (like open pits) that landowners owe a duty to invitees to warn against. I can't believe a lawyer took their case; maybe on the off-chance the park owner wants to settle to avoid bad publicity...

Polls are all over the place after the debate, but wow. https://twitter.com/SteveKornacki/status/1146116566016299008

This has been my ideal ticket for a minute. I'd plug Harris into either spot, depending largely on how she can defend her prosecutorial record, which she really hasn't faced on the public stage as of yet.
-
-
Do they do the vote thing for the final spot? Or did they scrap that with the new voting format?
-
The outfield got snubbed and probably split the "vote" so to speak.

Really important effort from Sano. -
the msnbc website usually gives generous clips, but my abuse of that has been years ago, so things may have changed.
-
I watched the show too (mostly). It was a bit effortful for my tastes. But she's so liakable, so it's hard not to appreciate her effort.

First of all, I'm proud of you for giving space for kids who do not want to participate, seriously good for you! However, am I fair to guess that few, if any, opt out? That said, we aren't all that unique; it's simply most adults aren't faced with having to give the pledge of allegiance. I recall that movie Runaway Jury where the mole in jury convinces everyone to say the pledge, and how everyone is like wtf is this. As children we don't think twice about how weird it is. But it is weird. Maybe teachers are so institutionalized they don't either, but it's super odd for a free society to ask children to prove their patriotism by oath, each day before beginning their education. Yes, it's what makes dystopian fiction.
-
You don't make them do it--you can't speak for everyone. It sure felt obligatory when I was going to school.
-
The pledge is weird in any case. Why does a free country make school children pledge their allegiance? Seems paranoid and Orwellian to me.
-
Harris did give him the chance to walk back his stance on busing which he did not, and now that every one is exploring what his stance was and it's not going to be good for Joe, as it appears he actively opposed busing, and just didn't simply advocate for state right's on the issue.
-
All though I'm big fan of Warren, Harris is my number two, though I'd like to see how she responds to tough questions about her record as prosecutor (which Biden took a dig at tonight).
-
Yang was underwhelming. And he was given a few softballs. He wasn't good a distilling his ideas to palatable terms. I was looking forward to what he had to say. Bennett (Senator from Colorado) is a good orator and pushed back against Biden and others well. Hidenlooper (former governor from Colorado) seems stuck in another decade.
-
The campaign should endeavor to educate them and not sit upon what polls badly early on. The thing that frustrates me about their arguments for Medicare for All is what a huge boon it would be for businesses to no longer have to manage their benefit programs Even if the money they spent on insurance were converted into a tax, they would still save tons on the managerial costs of those programs.
-
Fascinating exchange between Harris and Biden over race, glad the moderators let them go at it.
