You may not "be a capitalist" but I have no doubt that you participate fully and enthusiastically in the capitalist economy so...

Being born into a system and having to participate in it to live doesn't imply condoning it as it is. Or are we not allowed to want to fix problems?

They pretty much are. The funding for the major renovations was on the ballot instead of some person in a council saying "lol, we're doing this. suck it poors". They have one of the few stadiums where you can make a legitimate argument that boosts the surrounding community even when there isn't a game going on. Then again, it is arguably the most legendary NFL stadium ever, which helps its appeal.

Typically the get repuroposed where possible but to be frank their so big and few are proper domes that many simply lay dormant outside of 8 weekends a year especially in the winter. If soccer drew bigger crowds across the us it'd be less of an issue since they could be made dual use without the same issues that dual use baseball/football stadiums faced.

Now basketball/hockey stadiums those can work for other smaller venues.

The first big event in the Vikings' new stadium was a Metallica concert and I think an MLS match. The Metrodome used to have monster truck rallies, I think. Probably because you can do whatever the gently caress you want on an artificial surface without having to wait weeks for stuff to grow back.

The 'dome was originally dual-use, too. Only Twins game I've bothered to go to was in it.

At the beginning I credited him with having a good heart just low social intelligence making him an ineffective vehicle for translating good intentions into policy. Also with a penchant for letting perfect be the enemy of good. Both great people but Clinton is the one who can change the world for the better, even against a GOP held house. I don't believe that about him anymore. I've learned to much about him.

Can you expand on how Clinton will handle the current GOP house more effectively than Bernie? My assumption has been that the actual Democrat nominee wasn't really important, given that the GOP house and senate have gone full blown obstructionist. The Democrats could have nominated an empty paper bag, still go on to beat Trump and then sit in the oval office for 4+ years vetoing terrible legislation. The vitriol over the nomination is pathetic in this light, it's not like either candidate could hope to accomplish much (although the primary was pretty tame overall).

However I'm open to hearing how Hillary might be able to deal with the house! Especially, what can she do that Obama can't?

Reminder that Florida has a few weeks of in person early voting, and absentee ballots amount to slightly more than gently caress all comparatively. Also by the time early voting ends half or more of the votes will have already been cast.

Well to start Sanders has a reputation of being hard to work with and aloof in the senate while Clinton has a reputation of being able to work across the aisle.


Her plan of getting moderate republicans drunk in the White House then getting them to agree to deals seems pretty workable to me.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.

It's funny because if anything, Hillary probably started prepping even harder after the first debate so that she can maximize her chances at having the town hall go as well for her. She knows anything less than a very solid performance could stall the momentum she's gained after the first debate and she's always known than loving up a debate would be disastrous like it was when Obama was caught flat-footed by Romney lying his rear end off in their first debate.

It's be fun to see the Central Park 5 get brought up at the town hall to see how much worse he can do with minorities and white people who aren't neo-nazis or firmly in his camp.

Phone posted:

He bought an ad back in 1989, he was asked about it this week since the Central Park 5 were wrongly accused, convicted, and imprisoned (city paid out a settlement of close to $50 million).

It's the same stuff as always: Trump says or does something completely reprehensible and then double downs when it turns out that he's on the wrong side.

The settlement probably made him even more pissed. Not only were they released but they were paid millions by the city that hosed up their lives.
