Kale posted:I mean she's basically the new Bernie Sanders at this point but with even greater potential for the progressive movement. She not only talks the talk, but looks the part too which IS important for a lot of potential voters. Even if they share a lot of views, he's still an old white man which is basically the look of the capitalist establishment and could make a difference in a get out the vote kind of election. It's something I have been considering, like she basically has all the pieces and more that Obama did in 2008 and lots of time to run for higher and higher offices. She would need a PAC though I think, that's the only thing she's missing that Obama had for his senate and later Presidential runs. I wouldn't put AOC and Obama anywhere in the same league. Obama was just another center right elite. People fell for his faux leftism, but he was clearly phony from go. AOC has plenty of time to disappoint but right now she looks like the real deal. The pilitician worship always annoys and creeps me out but if a large segnent of the population must latch onto a stranger like they're their BFF we could do worse.

The literal worst cup of coffee and slice of "homemade" peach pie I've had in my life was at a rural Indiana diner that the locals raved about. (The only thing cheaper than the canned peaches was the canned coffee grounds.) It was so bad and I was so disappointed that I'm still carrying a grudge about that 15 years later. *Wooster and the area around it has some drat fine Amish restaurants and God-tier donuts and pies.

"Hoyer suggested to the challenger (who lost 2 to 1 in the end) that they would not win" is what you proved happened. Good for Tilleman for not dropping out but your original statement is still completely unfounded. hoyer told tillerman that the party apparatus was already behind crow and told him to drop out cause he couldn't win. i dunno why you think the party interfering in primaries is not rigging a primary, but it fits the definition perfectly and i'm not going to sugarcoat it so you can feel better about the dems. as for trying to distance pelosi from hoyer, that's pretty silly since pelosi endorsed this poo poo. trying to claim she wasn't involved at all at that point is just putting your fingers in your ears Condiv fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Nov 24, 2018 |

This is completely anecdotal (and possibly due to my preference for coffee that puts hair on your chest), but I've found that the Midwest just has weakass coffee in general. I'm sure there's good independent places, but I'm used to even 7-11 coffee being decently strong and fresh, and it seriously feels like the further you get from the coasts the less true that is.

Did John McAfee’s poop eating fetish get brought up? There’s a Vice documentary where a half dozen women describe how he would pay them to lay in a hammock and poop through a hole into his mouth. I used to think that would be a disqualifier, but with chuds who knows?

Your intuition here it is entirely correct. Speaking as both a coffee-loving native Ohian as well as former 18-wheeler driver* I fully agree with your assessment. Outside of a few local pockets coffee in the Midwest largely sucks. The only major chain out that way that carries consistently good drip coffee is Pilot. That said, at least Pilot does have some pretty drat savory drip coffee. Circle K (the midwest's 7-11 equivalent) traffics only in unpalatable swill. *which is a surprisingly common job for transwomen to have done at least once in their lives

The judicial more than any of the others. the judiciary granted itself the ability to nullify legislation or EOs but since it's not an actual power the constitution gives them they've always had to be careful to not stray too far from what the executive or legislative branches will tolerate, since they could be impeached or face court packing otherwise (or just be ignored since they have no enforcement mechanism). also it's impossible for the judiciary to be impartial since the members are appointed by members of a political party who presumably want judges who will rule according to how they want, it's partisan and always has been.

AOC has plenty of time to disappoint but right now she looks like the real deal. It's a little weird, but if you've noticed particularly how very online people tend to work literally everything about AOC makes sense right now. I mean Gritty is literally just a hockey mascot and look how much people are taking the Gritty is an anti-facist symbol of our times thing and running with it. Like I have little doubt an AOC/Guy in a Gritty suit, Democratic ticket could make decent waves if a Presidential election were held today just on meme value alone. The gritty thing definitely weirds me out more than the AOC thing though. AOC again is a real politician who isn't a wealthy old white man (which if you read USPOL much is a HUGE deal for a lot of posters) out there trying to speak up for the little guy right now and has a dose of political charisma to boot....while Gritty is literally just a hockey mascot. https://www.phillyvoice.com/gritty-memes-alt-right-philadelphia-flyers-mascot-antifa-pepe-frog/ Hilariously this is happening now too. Apparently the alt-right wants to see if it can co-opt Gritty as a symbol as well. I'm trying to think back to something I remember hearing in an English literature lecture about how people attach meaning to things as an important concept to try to explain the phenomenon but nothings really coming to mind.

AOC has plenty of time to disappoint but right now she looks like the real deal. This is my issue. AOC seems genuine - even if I think she has some severe knowledge gaps - and she probably wants to do the right thing. It's the loving worship that gets up my rear end. Look at every single Democrat politician - every single one. They have been involved in scandal, they always disappoint, they are always in it for themselves. If they manage to get good things done along the way, great, but loving hell they are not your friends. The Instagram stories? It's a political tactic. It might be genuine, but it's a tactic. To see posters here fawn over that kind of campaigning -because yes, it is campaigning even if the election is two years away - is so loving bizarre. Like this politician will be the one who's different. I hope AOC does good things. But she hasn't done anything yet, so save the fawning for the achievements.

You're right that she hasn't done anything as a congressperson yet (obviously). However, she is managing to get airtime and sometimes even steal the microphone away from Trump. This is an achievement, even if not a congressional one. In this timeline, that's like a glass of ice water in hell.
