Here's your regular reminder that Biden and probably Warren won't act fast enough or meaningfully enough on climate change or dealing with the more toxic elements of late stage capitalism to even have a chance at turning the ship around before it all collapses into Fury Road.

A common criticism of Bernie's plans is that a GOP-held senate will stop any strong climate proposals from getting passed. It's kind of true, but Sanders will counter that having him on the ticket will represent a political revolution and bring out enough excited voters who can also change the makeup of the senate :shrug:

Also as we have seen for the past 4/12/50 years the president can do a hell of a lot with executive orders.

Unchecked executive power isn't exactly what I'd call a good thing but it can be used for good by the right person.

And this is why the Democrats will probably lose. They only win if they show up united; if the party doesn't ratfuck Bernie out of the nomination and slide it to Biden, Bernie loses the general. Dems who turn to Trump aren't the problem, Dems who stay home will be.

Warren is likely better in the general, but it doesn't look good for her getting there in the first place.

There are some extremely vocal freaks on twitter who are still so mad about 2016 they'll stay home if Bernie's the nom but everyone who will stay home if Bernie is the nom is one of aforementioned vocal twitter freaks. The two camps are vastly disparate in numbers and it only looks close because the Hillary die-hards own the media.

And that's why we make sure the next 'guy' is AOC or someone similarly likely to keep pressing forward I guess.

Don't get me wrong, if Obama being president was able to do what it did to about a third of American brains, then an AOC run is going to be... Interesting.

A GoP-held senate will stop any proposal short of "Give money to rich guys" or "Shoot/cage brown people" so it's a moot point. At the least if Bernie gets in he can use already in place laws and departments to clean poo poo up or if somehow the senate flips or goes to VP casting votes some real effective poo poo gets implemented.

This halftime show feels pretty safe. It’s basically the hits of 20 years ago except with the queer angles amped up by about four percent?

Which, given that superbowl shows so often are white rocker dude hits from 30-40 years ago, I guess counts as progress?

I mean, no...? the last old white rocker dude super Bowl halftime was the 2010 The Who performance. The shows since then have all been pretty definitely targeted at getting women to watch. Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Beyonce....

They weren't the main performer by any stretch. They were brought in as backups to Bruno Mars a few weeks before the Super Bowl. Do you even know what you're talking about or are you just trying to make some weird point again?

I know you're trying to make some kind of point, but I dont think Maroon 5 is drawing in the football crowd, bro. However they are still popular with women. Also the lead singer was on an extremely popular tv show you might have heard of called "The Voice". Again, not much overlap with fans of that show and the old white football crowd.

LMAO you think football watchers don’t watch “The Voice” now?

Why do you think that? (Don’t argue that it runs opposite of Monday Night Football, and viewers don’t switch-hit, we both know you probably aren’t that dumb.)

Turkish Airlines always has a splashy super bowl ad. Their media strategy is in line with a bourgeois luxury brand. It’s a little odd for an airline.

Post Malone is the tatted up guy.
