Because I'm afraid I might do that and I'd rather not do that. Give them a quest to suck 15 dicks in exchange for a trashy pauldron

Paradoxish posted:The Senate results really are bad. I know a lot of people here have been papering this over by saying we never really had a shot (which is true to some degree), but that doesn't change the fact that a +2R result is just not good news. I'm also thinking that 2018 is pretty drat near peak anti-Trump and I'm not sure that we're going to do better in 2020. Combine that with the fact that it may be difficult to defend some of these house pick-ups and I'm concerned. Two years is a damned long time, especially in this administration. A lot can change

STAC Goat posted:Like, wasn't the footnotes from last night that NRA sponsored candidates took a bigger hit than ever? Didn't Rick Scott owe a lot of his success to actually breaking from Trump on gun control after Parkland? I haven't paid enough close attention to be able to say definitively but haven't we seen a lot of small bits of evidence since then that this issue is actually working? I wouldn't undervalue the image of guns either. The undeniable truth is that the way Americans treat guns is ten times worse than what they have access to. If all these shootings are turning off people from owning guns as toys then it is a pretty big success. Unfortunately the caveat is that the people who are attracted to the big guns are the same people that go shooting people, hence the need for actual bans. Hopefully that was sadbrains enough that I dont get probed again.

Bicyclops posted:It's a shame the word "shill" has essentially become a gendered insult, because Jill rhymes with shill, and Dr. Stein is 100 percent a sell-out to the conspiracy elements of her party. Her earlier career is indicative that she's smart enough to know better, which means, ironically, that she's just the kind of politician people who are voting for her hate the most: a cynical opportunist. Shill is absolutely not a gendered insult, what are you talking about

Mustached Demon posted:That's a wrong impression of the flu to begin with and a good place to start when dealing with misconceptions about it. Flu knocks a healthy, young human on their rear end for a week usually. Then there's the unlucky ones who are in that group who suffer complications and just die because flu gives zero fucks. It also doesn't help that getting the flu shot can still give you an immune response, leading to "I got the flu shot and I still got the flu, it didn't work!" mentality.
