I was going to vote for Biden but the notion of Larry being a regular POTUS on SNL convinced me otherwise. Thanks, Al Roker.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

God bless Larry David. He is a walking Bernie endorsement by a beloved public figure. After his work on SNL, he can't escape it. I assure you, he has given more than $2800 worth of publicity to the Bernie campaign just by appearing on TV. Who cares about his actual donations.

It is pretty great that all these rich celebs are so worried about their wealth being taxed they max out to a guy who would get absolutely demolished by Trump in the general.

If you think the donation isn't part of bundling and that these celebrities aren't really paying attention to the race at this moment, you're kidding yourself. It is pretty clear that most of them are clueless.

Everybody in Hollywood has. It's pocket change. Hollywood is full of Pete boosters and a lot of Hollywood people have probably only got calls from them asking for money. Like Seth MacFarlane probably called his entire black book and most of them were probably like "ok" and cut a check

Sure, but of anyone you would expect Larry David to go "ehhh" and hang up and then later create an awkward brawl when he has to attend Seth MacFarlane's step-son's bar mitzvah and ends up causing a scene

presumably the same staffer who, having neglected to look it up in the first place, proceeded to book her for the same place she stayed the last time.

dem campaigns are generally pretty conscious of this, using exclusively union printers and buying from union vendors whenever possible. even the most conservative of dem candidates do this, so i find it hard to believe it wasn't just a mistake. especially since it is literally a unionized campaign. so ultimately i think the idea that it reflects personally on warren is absurd. if she was made aware of it and then did nothing to correct the issue, that would be different. but it was a couple times at the same location which seems to me like someone hosed up vetting rather than some systemic hostility or whatever toward labor

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

Bernie appearing on stuff like Colbert or Joe Rogan or anything else with broad appeal does wonders for his campaign because, unless you're a Chud or blood-gargling lib psychopath, you can't come away from hearing him speak without going "...huh, you know he's right about [insert thing Bernie is right about here]." And the best way around media filters is to speak directly to folks without a pundit or round table or whatever reframing your message.
