Well, the worst of it happened to be during the Kavanaugh hearings. Especially when that dull and dopey gently caress of a senate candidate, billionaire Phil Bredesen said that while he believed Ford, he still would vote to confirm him.

The state chair said the message to go out was that he was still a good candidate.

I told the chair exactly what she could have done with that message and proceeded to get banned from the email list. Their idea to fix Bredesen's unforced error was to get Taylor swift to endorse him.

Goddamn the TNDP belongs on a loving scaffold.

3.5 defenders can be understood in the same way as elderly conservatives talking about how they want to go back to the old days. they're wrong, but you can see how they got there, they're terrified of a marginal improvement to their world invalidating all that came before.

I mean yeah you play with the groups you can get and most people into RPGs enough to properly edition war have all played games that are mechanically (and otherwise) wayyyyy worse than 5e, which is bad more due to its mediocrity, laziness, and regression in design than because it's the worst thing ever

it's just the most frustrating poo poo ever because there are like a half dozen D&D-adjacent RPG's that are better designed, supported, and better fulfill 5e's putative design goals but it's still the "default" b/c of the brand name

I'm quite enjoying Wrath of the Righteous tho

also Pathfinder 2E is somehow really implausibly good (definitely one of those games that I think are better designed, supported, and better fulfill 5E's putative design goals - just the way they run their playtests of new material as actual playtests is a world of difference from D&D Next)

I mean, I thought I was asked to chair because they were interested in winning, but apparently they wanted to make sure a loving poor knew his place.

Which was as far away from them as possible and into a Maoist reading group. So I guess I got them to thank for that, but I don't know if it's generally okay to thank a group of people for being absolutely loving worthless.

...I'm talking about Marquita Bradshaw, the Democratic senate candidate in 2020. She was endorsed by the DSA and had much better positions than Bredesen. You implied that Bredesen's Republican-lite positions contributed to him losing, so I countered with the fact that a candidate with good positions actually did worse. Unless you weren't aware Marquita Bradshaw was running.

My controversial take is that Lugar was a better senator than Bayh, at least he did something about nuclear proliferation instead of jack poo poo nothing.

It's hard to conceptualize Birch in politics as they are now and Evan was definitely just in it to climb the ladder. Lugar was solid, and more importantly, had a really solid and punchy name
