This is it. Democrats will continue to talk about how they failed at execution so they don't have to talk about the real problem: their platform. At least with Trump some folks think there's a chance he shakes apart the whole system.

I voted for Harris, but I knew it was a lost cause from the moment she became the de facto nominee. She was a status quo candidate in a change election.

It's the most evenly divided district in Oregon in partisan terms and she ran on a "bipartisan" theme. She'd be pretty hard-pressed to make her case.

The Republicans were absolutely inundating the district with the most vile stuff, like how she "voted in favor of rapists." They dramatically outspent her campaign.

I'm really happy she won.

It's the difference between "this story needs to be told" versus "there's money to be made." Ironic that one of the most incisive and fiercely anti-capitalist series in recent memory went back to the well purely to make more money.

That "if" is doing a lot of heavy lifting and maybe Poland doesn't want to yolo World War 3.

To make this a black and white issue is kinda weird when the severity of being wrong is so high. Just because Poland is being a considerate partner to other NATO member states doesn't mean it's required to act that way.

Well, they had a single case of attempted voter fraud, so now I guess it's only fair we award Trump the presidency here and now. I believe those are the rules.

Because if Russia retaliates it means all of NATO goes to war with Russia. Kind of a big deal that you maybe don't want to just decide on your own.

He is a good actor. You don't have to apologize for saying that.

I dunno, I can pretty easily come up with reasons why events would force someone to venture out into the world. See The Lord of the Rings and also basically every JRPG from the 1990s.

In my tabletop RPG campaigns I always make it a point for my characters to have at least one living parent, and usually two. These games are always so full of haunted orphans whose villages were burned to the ground or whatever.

Most movies and TV shows are created these days with the assumption that people are on their phones at the same time. I mean actual studio notes to that effect when the plot becomes too difficult for the average person to follow when they have it on while they're also watching TikTok.
