That's why i'm so disappointed in him not pushing for lower level elections, which he should very well know the importance of having been mayor. To be fair, neither candidate has talked about it much. But he has an incredibly captive enthusiastic audience, many of which could run for office themselves in uncontested elections and the like. Secondly, they are young and will influence the electorate more as they age. Getting that message of importance about local races, Senate and House seats into the upcoming generation now will pay dividends later. When you show people that government can work, it's easier to sell the other messages Sanders pushes to the general electorate. They don't have the "political capital" or "electorate" to pass what Sanders is proposing, but they have the long term advantage, especially if they start taking steps now.
I refuse to play "political house" with them ;p
But in actuality, i'm in a good mood for once.

I fear that wildlife will be cast aside in favor of fish with this pick. Too much bias.

More material with which to convince people how critical it is they get to the polls in November, especially if the Senate Republicans are still foolishly holding up the SC nomination process.

maybe you shouldn't be posting smug gifs inviting the comparison then, if you're going to catch feelings over the fact that your elderly queen that hasn't had any hits in ten years feels the need to mask her imperfections to stay relevant, sis

Some people will look at general election polling this far out and say "well yeah but look at 1980, Carter was beating Reagan at this point". True. But Carter was collapsing rapidly:
Clinton is pulling further ahead of Trump, not the other way around. Not that it means anything but general election polling this far out actually isn't that bad of a predictor on who will win the general election. It's not evidence, it's nothing more than confirmation bias. But it's there.

The government needs a strong Tuna that won't fall prey to the Wildlife lobby.
Did Cruz ever comment on the Melania ad other than to deny responsibility? Seems a little... shall we say Cruz-like... to keep saying this "I don't attack families" stuff but enjoy the benefits of people acting on his behalf doing just that. I thought Canadians were supposed to be polite.

plus convention brawls hurt the party. Drunken Ted Kennedy hurt Carter by primarying him.
shit will hit the fan for if Trump fails to reach the magic number before Cleveland

I'm head of the DNC, bitch.
You guys are too kind. I humbly accept this honor and nominate empty vessel to the CFPB.
Also to everyone who appreciates my posts I would urge you all to post more policy and political philosophy discussions as well and we can be the revolution we need. It's easy to get sucked into the frustration of the endless election season otherwise. I know I have made some shitty posts along the way.
I work in the game industry. Two big elements of my job are thinking about people's choices and motivations and understanding how to manage cross-functional teams effectively.
I appreciate that people found the analysis interesting! Honestly, more than anything I was thinking of it as an object lesson in management strategies and what works and doesn't work. Anybody who wants to steal the idea and use it as a paper topic is free to do so.

Things like this are why I get so annoyed when people act like Clinton's Supreme Court nominees aren't likely to be very different from a Republican president's, or that it's not such a big deal to let a Republican president appoint a few justices because that's totes going to spark the political revolution that ushers in our left wing utopia.
I expected an Onion article
I look forward to the hypocrisy from either Cruz or Trump when they make it to the general and proceed to shit all over Bill under the guise that he was a public official.
Also, fucking lol at that Bernie black support in the South lost. Maybe he'll retroactively take South Carolina!

I expected a serious article or something H.A. Goodman wrote. What I got instead nobody expected.
Damn, those are incredible. The fact that he's anywhere close to being the Republican candidate with figures like that is still almost unbelievable.
Sounds about right.
I knew it would be bad, but DAMN.
Imagine when the GE starts and the full blown attack ads from the DNC/Obama/Clinton/etc start.

Catching up. Space emperor Kev is the best poster. As his gay clone that makes me even betterer.
Also racist and sexist aren't nebulous terms used to label any non supportive parties. They're well defined terms used to label racists and sexists.

Is Ivy okay? I'm afraid he's going to have a heart attack from his erection.
Nobody ever polls Asians.
I think the first posts I saw of yours were in the MtGOX thread where you explained that fiat currencies are backed by taxation. Pretty interesting explanation. Might even explain how gold was valued in the first place.

i might post an essay or two if i don't spend half this summer sleeping
and the other half sleeping because there are hardly any friggin' planning internships in columbus
SEEING A DOCTOR IT'S BEEN MORE THAN FOUR HOURS
That's a pain in the neck man, bad luck.
Got my last free summer because I'm starting a job in September, gonna sleep so damn much.
Those numbers are good... I hope Trump keeps saying stupid shit to alienate entire demographics.
Obama might be able to dance, but Bill looks like he can hardly walk anymore

I saw that, and should have replied. It's true that college is not for everyone and I did see a problem with High School (this is 2001 era) pushing College on virtually everyone and barely highlighting other choices such as vocation schools. My time in College (this is 2012 era) highlighted this as many people either did not put the effort in (which indicated that they either were incapable or did not want to be there, or just wanted a degree). The ones who went for my degree (CIS) were a bit better, but the ones going for Marketing and General Business were on the average far worse about this.
What's going to complicate things is the automation economy is going to wreck many vocations, i'm not even sure how best to restructure education at this point. I fear that changes are also going to wayyyyyyyyy too late, even more so this time around.
