He wore aviator shades because of his hosed up looking eyes, not necessarily cuz they are cool.

I didn't know about the part where US subs used gravimetry, and I didn't know that that was what the gov't may have been wanting to talk to Clancy about. I was referring to how the Japanese were eventually able to build a ship that was powered by a magneto-hydrodynamic drive.

i was wondering why hillary never really discussed the bankruptcy issues that are prevalent today. it would seem to be a real easy thing for a dem to say "hey, we got a ton of medical bankruptcies of insured people! this shouldn't be happening!!" turns out it's because she supported the legislation that made debt harder for everyone poor to discharge and made student loans wholly undischargeable quote:Ms. Warren’s critique had its beginnings in 1998, when Congress was contemplating an overhaul to the bankruptcy system. Ms. Warren, a Harvard law professor, wrote an Op-Ed piece for The New York Times warning that under such an overhaul, a woman owed child support could lose some of her ability to collect it if the child’s father declared bankruptcy. during the election, i thought that at least hillary clinton was good on women's issues, but seemingly the only group that she felt deserved the relief of bankruptcy was deadbeat dads

Joementum posted:ironically Hillary would have won if she'd mentioned she was for dads rights Yeah, because child support issues are a little hosed up and unfair even though they are mostly unavoidable. There is a reverse perspective thread on Reddit that is breaking people's brains right now. https://np.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/6nm05m/update_girlfriend_now_ex_is_pregnant_and_wants_to/ The MRA solution of no responsibility isn't any kind of solution, but Hillary Clinton stepping up and standing up for men and proposing some reasonable reforms on child support would have rocked the boat enough to get people to maybe think differently about her. It didn't have to be this issue. It didn't have to be legal pot which is my pet issue. She just needed to find one god drat issue to take a courageous not poll and focus group supported and calibrated stand on. If she just found one, she would not stand out as exactly who everyone who hates her thinks she is, and she couldn't do it. She lost by such a microscopic degree, it's insane. She only had to do so little to not be an epic failure, and she couldn't do it.

Because Hillary in total power rotted the establishment even worse than it was before. Obama didn't have these problems with connecting with the voters he needed.

eliminate the need for child support by nationalizing childcare

To some, it isn't about the child. One of them punishment things, like denying someone access to abortion.

Serf posted:eliminate the need for child support by nationalizing childcare Yes, of course. But the taxpayers need someone to persuade them that they should be the people supporting children that aren't theirs that their parents don't want to support. The Democratic Party has to do this job, not avoid it because it's understandably hard. If they don't want to try on this or other issues, get the gently caress out of the way and let someone else try. FuriousxGeorge has issued a correction as of 13:29 on Jul 17, 2017 |

Hillary lost "by a microscopic degree" if you don't look at previous elections and don't look at her opponent. Otherwise, lol she really got trounced.

And it says, ‘Continued on next bumper sticker.'”

I mean that's basically the end game of every progressive piece of legislation ever right? The only way you sell something like medicare-for-all or a 40% tax bracket to the rich and powerful is that it buys them some more time till the guillotines come out.

The centrists are going to run on "we might restore the ACA and we're going to murder brown people way better than the GOP" wrapped in woke performativity in 2020 after a blindingly bipartisan war resolution vote on whichever country they've decided really, truly deserved to not have a future. Hopefully there will be uncompromised leftists to primary that.

The idea that elites in 2017 USA have any fear of revolution whatsoever is absurd. Homestead and Blair Mountain are long forgotten and there are, practically speaking, zero working class institutions capable of fielding any kind of combat group.
