Certainly not. And I'm sure the story of his crying daughter is as real as Baby Jesus being born in a manger on December 25th the Year of Our Lord 1ad.

i'm indifferent about pelosi because she's the average dem representative and they'd choose another incompetent milquetoast and the inbred media will just play up them as the great satan

attack pelosi on policy, not popularity. like the average dem she's malleable

I don't and I was just thinking that. If he voted for Bernie it's cause he got tangled up on his lanyard in the voting booth and fell on the wrong button.

while i'd love for peoples' lives to be better the nature of capital forbids it and thus i appreciate the end of the "keeping it in the family to keep race pure and family rich" anglo-saxon hegemony and at this point "order at all costs beep boop" germany and "social logic is discouraged except when money is involved" china would be a marked improvement

It's very fickle

the more he opens his mouth, the more liable he is to be discarded but at the same time he needs exposure.

PRESENTING: A transcript of the fateful first meeting between Randy Bryce and David Yankovich

BRYCE: Now look. I don't know who ou are or what you are, but we've got twenty three million people about to lose their health care. If we don't act now we won't get them back alive.

(The Cybercandidate opens its mouth but does not move any lips as it speaks in a strange sing-song tone that puts emphasis in all the wrong places.)
YANKOVICH: They will not be covered.

BRYCE: Why not?

YANKOVICH: It is unimportant now.

BRYCE: But we must stop the AHCA! When-

YANKOVICH: There is really no point. They could never be insured now.

BRYCE: But don't you care?

YANKOVICH: Care? No, why should I care?

BRYCE: Because they're people and they're going to die!

YANKOVICH: I do not understand you. There are people dying all over your world yet do not care about them.

BRYCE: Yes, but we could avoid their deaths!

YANKOVICH: You will be wondering what has happened. Your astronomers must have just discovered a new congressional district. Is that not so?

BRYCE: Yes, that's right

YANKOVICH: That is where we come from. It is called Mondas.

BRYCE: Mondas? But isn't that one of the ancient names of Wisconsin District 1?

YANKOVICH: Yes. Aeons ago the congressional districts were twins, then we drifted away from you on a journey to the edge of space. Now we have returned.

BRYCE: But who or what are you?

YANKOVICH: We are called Cybercandidates.

BRYCE: Cybercandidates?

YANKOVICH: Yes, Cybercandidates. We were exactly like you once, but our polling scientists realized that our race was getting weak.

BRYCE: Weak? How?

YANKOVICH: Our fundraising was getting lower, so our scientists and doctors devised spare parts for our bodies until we could be almost completely replaced.

BRYCE: But that means you're not like us. You're robots!

YANKOVICH: Our brains are just like yours, except that certain weaknesses have been removed.

BRYCE: Weaknesses? What weaknesses?

YANKOVICH: You call them "principles," do you not?

BRYCE: But that's terrible! You, you mean you wouldn't care about someone in pain?

YANKOVICH: There would be no need. We do not feel pain.

BRYCE: But we do!
(Suddenly, Bryce lunges toa desk and presses a button.)

BRYCE: That'll fix you! Twitter will know there's an emergency here now!

YANKOVICH: That was really most unfortunate. You should not have done that.

the first one isnt wrong

Pelosi is just fine as a House leader, and most of the House reps pushing for her replacement are conservative Dems whose only stated rationale for replacing her is that she's too demonized by the right and might be scaring off moderate Republican votes

i don't think it's sexism, but "we should replace this person because Republicans dislike them" is about the ordinary level of idiocy I'd expect from Bad Dems, and there's more House Dems to her right than to her left so her replacement would likely be to the right of her


at the height of the Gilded Age, radical leftists were engaging in assassination attempts against CEOs and terrorist bombings on Wall Street, while unions were getting into literal gun battles with strikebreakers and Pinkertons while federal troops were regularly being called to intervene by force in labor disputes

ultimately, capital only makes concessions to the left when they fear that the social pressure that's building might explode into outright revolution, and that's been the case regardless of which party is in power
