So the oppo file on Ellison is all from the 90s. I wish the Clinton/Obama wing would try and win on merit rather than ratfuckery, not so much for the sake of fairness, but because that was a factor in why Clinton lost in the first place. UK Labour here we come! I'll get to visit Ed in person!

UK Labour here we come! Especially when there was no oppo done on Trump. They could have dropped a video every day of the election. Every time CNN goes back to hand wringing over emails boom oppo. Why are they bothering with Keith Ellison? The party is moving left, so let it. The former leaders of the party are not there anymore, what are they defending?

Pollyanna posted:i'm not planning on watching the OA, what's the summary behind it and why does it Mass Effect/Life is Strange so hard? the whole show is about this lady who disappears for seven years and then shows up again, only now she's not blind. she spends the next 8 episodes telling these 5 people (4 kids and Phyllis from The Office) her whole life story, born to a Russian oligarch, survived a near-death experience and lost her sight, she gets smuggled to America and her dad dies, and then she is adopted by some people and grows up. she gets a weird dream about her dad and runs away to NYC to find him, then gets taken in by this scientist who studies near-death experiences. the dude flies her out to his remote house/lab, and surprise, he's not above board and he locks her in a glass cage with some other near-death survivors. then there's a lot of stuff about he keeps killing them and bringing them back to discover the afterlife, we learn about alternate dimensions and angels that are teaching the captives dance moves that will open a portal to let them escape. they dance a dude back to life. well, some bullshit goes down, the scientist dumps her off, and in the middle of that big dramatic moment it all comes crashing down when people discover their secret meetings, it all goes to poo poo and the band breaks up and discovers a bunch of books under her bed that show she was making it all up. then she has a premonition, runs off, and at the school where all the kids go there's a loving school shooter OUTTA NOWHERE, and they use the dance moves she taught them to... distract they guy until a lunch worker takes him out. the main lady gets shot and then it just kinda... ends??? tl;dr the show goes one way for 7 1/2 episodes and then basically they couldn't come up with an ending and wrote something completely unrelated to the rest of it

Pollyanna posted:what the gently caress Well my assumption is it's really pretty, so it looks good enough to sell you on most of it and then becomes a flaming dumpster at the end. That's my impression from the description, I haven't watched it myself. And yes, I read the spoilers because I know I hate shows that I get invested in only to have a crappy ending petty much above all. It's why I don't watch 30 Rock reruns because I shipped Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin's characters so hard.

this reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Bader specifically quote:The Germans treated Bader with great respect. When he bailed out, Bader's right prosthetic leg became trapped in the aircraft, and he escaped only when the leg's retaining straps snapped after he pulled the ripcord on his parachute.[124] General Adolf Galland notified the British of his damaged leg and offered them safe passage to drop off a replacement. Hermann Göring himself gave the green light for the operation. The British responded on 19 August 1941 with the "Leg Operation" — an RAF bomber was allowed to drop a new prosthetic leg by parachute to St Omer, a Luftwaffe base in occupied France, as part of Circus 81 involving six Bristol Blenheims and a sizeable fighter escort. The Germans were less impressed when, task done, the bombers proceeded on to their bombing mission to Gosnay Power Station near Bethune, although bad weather prevented the target being attacked. Galland stated in an interview that the aircraft dropped the leg after bombing Galland's airfield.

Sadly, everything people before the election were saying about the Republican Party ended up being true about the Democratic Party: its leaders don't give a poo poo about winning, they are just interested in making money as consultants and lobbyists, they want to stay well-paid talking heads as long as possible and could careless about enacting any meaningful agenda.

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine. And the machine is bleeding to death. The sun has fallen down And the billboards are all leering And the flags are all dead At the top of their poles.
