I mean, it does come off a little bit pandering to claim that physically threatening a child over their political beliefs is a bridge too far after agreeing that other kid had a "punchable face". At the very least there was no, like, outcry from the left about that rhetoric back then. Edit - obviously both are lovely and wrong (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Not getting the impeachment result you personally want within the timeframe you want does not equate to a Constitutional crisis, the end of America, etc. Impeachment is by definition a political process, and if the politics don't line up right now, they might line up a week from now, a month from now, or maybe never. And even if they never do, the system is self correcting on a two year cycle.

In this case, the problem is that the president is a criminal and the crisis is that it's impossible to get him out of office under the way the constitution is setup right now. It's not working. No, this is a case where the car works, but your mom (congress) won't drive you to the mall.

Mystic Mongol posted:Switch isn't reporting playtime metrics or anything, go hog wild. They already have your money. But if you internally normalize playing Diablo, there's a real chance you'll convince yourself that the Blitzcheung rudeness wasn't a big deal by the time Diablo Immortal comes out. You know if this'll be a problem more than anyone. Y-yeah, prescient post, internalizing and incrementalism are weaknesses of mine, cold turkey it is. I think they recently released Torchlight 2 on switch which should scratch the loot grind itch. DQ is on my RPG backlog, it's just like... really big right now.

TulliusCicero posted:I don't think it's coincidental that the Trump Campaign is openly hiring a white militia group in one of the most left wing cities in the US So the actual article seems to say that they're "volunteering" to protect people in transit - meaning, not in the venue itself. Is this really a case of "partnering" or "hiring" - seems like just something a group decided to do.

Fritz Coldcockin posted:The White House has said it, but even now State Dept employees are telling Trump to go gently caress himself and showing up anyway. So far, I think only Rudy has actually defied a subpoena. Look, I'm not saying that impeachment and removal from office is likely at this point, but we're at a point where it's more likely than it has ever, ever been. The Senate GOP is caught between a rock and a hard place and a decent number of Republicans in the House are splitting publicly and supporting the impeachment inquiry. And even if removal isn't the outcome, his unhinged response is sinking him for 2020. I know it's fun here to make sweeping generalizations about conservatives and Republicans, and there definitely is a die-hard contingent who will always support him, but I'm convinced there are enough Republicans and right-leaning independents who actually care about the country to prevent his reelection. Despite the historically low Republican party affiliation numbers Trump's ushered in, still one out of five of them want him removed. Just put up someone who is even the slightest bit genuine and he's done.

Yep and before the tech boom, the common wisdom was that we could never get jobs or compete with boomers. Basically we were braced for exactly what happened to the generation behind us, and lucked out.

Prester Jane posted:Gore, Kerey, and Hillary all ran as triangulating centrists. How'd that work out for them? I would argue it's not even centrist policy or naked triangulation that sunk them, although that certainly didn't help. The fact is, none of those people could connect or relate to regular people in a way that seemed even slightly genuine. Al Gore lived in a hotel for ten years, Hillary hasn't driven herself in a car since the 1980s, etc. The connection just isn't there, and attempts to manufacture it fell incredibly flat.

Fritz Coldcockin posted:I know this is gonna sound a bit pedantic, but can we not do this? It's the "DemocratIC Party", and the nominee for the Democratic Party will be the DemocratIC nominee. Rush Limbaugh started calling it the "Democrat Party" in an attempt to otherize and delegitimize Democrats and it's made its way WAY too far into modern political lexicon. Don't accept their framing. I go out of my way to not use the term, but I never really got how this is a "slur" or delegitimizing, since a party member is called a Democrat. You actually call them Democrats in your post. It seems totally innocuous.

Fritz Coldcockin posted:Because the party is called the Democratic Party, that's why it's a slur. I get that you're not a fan of arguing in good faith, based on your post history, but it is absolutely an attempt to delegitimize and otherize the opposition and anyone who says otherwise is flat-out lying. It just seems weird that the term Democrat isn't otherizing a person, but Democrat Party is, that's all. TheDeadlyShoe's marketing explanation makes sense, though.
