I think president Gore would have been a very different (and better) history. Ditto Hilary.

Russia's WMD can reach North America, that's why.

Sure is. Turns out, the left is comprised of humans with feelings. I don’t know why you keep trying to mock something I haven’t said.

If the supposed logical left voter actually relies on feelings to vote, then they shouldn't portray that their non-voting or protest voting is logical, or sensible, or rational, or intelligent in any way. Or effective for that matter.

You really are back to feelings too.

how I’ve been arguing all this

Again, I'm talking: "If all these leftists that don’t vote in protest", and trying to keep it to the broad they. (I do however address you specifically when you keep trying to jab me specifically). I remember you, you're the person that thinks everything is pointed specifically and directly and individually at you the individual person and user. The lesson you should learn this time is that not everything in life is aimed at you specifically.

I was talking about broad groups and trying to keep it to "they", but you seem to take that extremely personally and you respond personally. And then when I discuss it broadly like I was originally, you then demand "tell me how I've been ...". Notice that? You take broad things very personally, then demand how you specifically argued that. It's quite an odd trick to say the least. Especially when you entered my reply to someone else. Again, The lesson you should learn this time is that not everything in life is aimed at you specifically.

Hopefully that will suffice to end our conversation this time.

He can bemoan the two party system. But if they want to move anything they need to vote. Assuming he wants to move things left, then it's vote for Dems.

I’m sure you can provide a source for that, since you’re not just saying whatever you think justifies moving to the right.

Can you source that "you think justifies moving to the right."? Someone here certainly is making things up and it's you.

So far has she announced something like medicare for all that the leftists can point to as a policy to logically support? No. So far she's relying very heavily on energy, vibes, "won't go back" emotion, freedom, which all appeals to center voters who rely on impressions and emotion. The closest to any specific progressive policy is a general idea to tax billionaires.

Where did I say that?

"excited to vote" is an emotional feeeelllliiiinnggg. You didn't default to say policy to support, you defaulted to the feeling of emotion of excitement and it's very telling. Enthusiasm is an emotional feeellliinnggg. And you're basically on it again, apathy is an emotional feeellllliiinnngg.

If that's what these supposed logical leftist voters need to feed their feeelllinnngs, then fine. But then it's not this case of them being so logical, and they are logically not voting, because logically that will do something (in reality nothing), because they are the embodiment of logic.

I did.

Yeah, you. Not me. You. You're making shit up. All the time just so you have something to attack.

Is her groundswell of support coming from the left, or from the center? It's from the center, who yes rely on impression and feelings and energy.

I'm talking about this supposed logical leftist voter, who thinks logically, because they are so logical, and they will logically not vote in protest, and you are saying this supposed logical left actually relies on feeeelllinngss, then they are not so fucking logical then are they?

Who said I don't want the party to move left? Nice (fake) jab.

Gee if only they could think about how their vote would move the Overton window.

But you just said, they rely on their feeeeelllliinngggs. Guess they aren't so logical huh.

If all these leftists that don't vote in protest actually voted, it'd be over. Not just this election, for decades. It would have been a wildly different history.

Why is there no hair? It's completely surrounded by hair. The entire rest of the head (except parts of the actual face) is covered by hair. Other animals have hair.

FYI: apparently most Opera is in Italian, then French comes in distant second, German third.

 

Personally I wasn't a fan of them, so was glad they didn't continue on.

 

Instincts being we were both hunters and had to hide from predators. Hide and seek feeds both.

Excellent listen throughout, but you can skip to 17:30 for competition with McDonalds.

 

*No searching!

 

Do they just speak faster? Do the Indian words/pronunciation flow better/faster than English does? And they are simply trying to match the cadence?

 

Did you live in constant fear of being nuked? Or was it more chill most of the time?

 

He hadn't been contemplating seeking the Alberta NDP leadership but added "I have been listening to a lot of pitches from party members and other Albertans."

 

Proper use of the term gargoyle being the statues that drain water from buildings.

By the 13th century, those figures were being called gargoyles, a name that came to Middle English from the Old French word gargoule. The stone beasts likely earned that name because of the water that gargled out of their throats and mouths; the word gargoule is imitative in origin
