If it causes earthquakes I'd rather pay more for gas.

Have any of these earthquakes been of a large enough size to actually be significant?

I guess I just have a principled stance. If it causes earthquakes, it's probably not good. I guess it's also possible earthquakes cause no damage whatsoever.

So this is kind of a "GMO's are unnatural, and why would you eat something that wasn't natural" type of argument?

Modelling studies of seismic activities.

Haven't looked at the broader literature base as yet.

It's funny that we have no clue what's happening in Hawaii.

The Hawaii Democratic Party sent out a tweet 41 minutes ago saying "Find your caucus location here" and that's it. No results to be found anywhere.

It takes time for Hillary's people to disenfranchise everyone. They're getting better, as evidenced by AZ being called seconds after the polls closed, but it still takes time.

Eh, I wouldn't go that far. Fracking is more of a legitimate thing to be against as there have been actual issues with the practice in the past and present.

Huh. I will have to read up on it. This isn't a big issue where I live.

In the meantime I will enjoy my ignorance as I drive on the cheap.

I mean, earthquakes are objectively bad though. The argument is really about whether the increased seismic activity is overshadowed by the benefits of fracking.

 

[Y2Kev]

Bullshit. Everyone likes Bounce Houses.

 

[noshten]

Again, I ask this since you ignored me last time, WHY WOULD TYT EVEN BE ALLOWED TO HOST A DEBATE?

In the world where YouTube is a thing

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Bullshit. Everyone likes Bounce Houses.

I hadn't considered that.

 

[titiklabingapat]

When do the HI caucuses close?

 

[B-Dubs]

In the world where YouTube is a thing

And why would anyone agree to such a debate? Why would the DNC sanction it? Why would Hillary go? TYT are not some major news source. Huffington Post? Maybe you could make the argument.

 

[Y2Kev]

nobody is really sure

 

[Giant Panda]

Being against fracking is stupid. Make it well regulated and all, but tracking makes so much economic and environmental sense.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Well the Washington Times sponsored a debate...

 

[B-Dubs]

Well the Washington Times sponsored a debate...

There's sponsoring and then there's hosting.

 

[Officerrob]

Well the Washington Times sponsored a debate...

Yeah, but it was on CNN, not a Youtube channel

 

[FiggyCal]

If TYT had branded themselves as a neutral organization, sure. They have too many videos disparaging religious people, moderates, Obama, etc to host a presidential debate. They're also explicitly anti-Clinton so I don't know why she'd even want to do it.

From my relatively limited scope of research done around 2009-10, it was more akin to strip mining than GMOs. Always plausible that research has been expanded. I'd rather operate from the procedure of extreme caution than 'Drill baby drill' (not that I mean to say thats your stance,as it sounds more 'like keep the door open for safe/env aware operations').

This is why I defended Trump with Kelly. She hates him.
Yet people said: "If he can't stand up to Megyn, how will he stand up to World Leaders!"

I agree that there should be caution.

It seems that many on the left support an all out ban though.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

I think Bernie's margin in WA will expand a bit shortly. King County is mostly reported but Clark county hasn't come in at all. It has a population of 440,000, includes a lot of Portland suburbs and Bernie held a rally there. If Bernie's margin goes up 0.7% from where it is now he gets two more delegates out of the state.

 

[FiggyCal]

Plus they're namesake. Cenk, as far as I'm aware, still doubts the Armenian genocide. I guess it just looks bad to give them more credibility.

Since I posted that, his margin's gone up 0.6%

 

[Maledict]

I think people are being very over optimistic about Hawaii. Clintons campaign has been sending the message that it's in the bag for Bernie for weeks now, and whilst some of that is expectation management it seems like they are resigned to losing it.

This is your first election, isn't it.

Does not really matter either way.

No one expects her to win it unless I missed some posts.

Washington people on my TL hammering the point about calling super delegates and telling them to respect the will of the people.

Naw, mane. I was poking fun at Reddit. Been involved in Dem politics since I was 6 and my dad forced me to stuff envelops for some low level commissioner.

His very first.

I'm a virgin. You caught me.

Then they had better start calling the ones who are supporting Sanders in the states she won too.

I just looked over the list of supers and either this hasn't been updated or one still supports O'Malley.

Ok lets do that.

Yup. Getting kind of annoying.

 

[Holmes]

How many Sanders superdelegates are from states he's won? Six?

 

[Clefargle]

TYT wants to do a democratic debate. How could they ever pretend to offer an unbiased platform for a debate? It would be the most anti Clinton event ever

 

[Officerrob]

Yeah, that will work...

 

[Macho Madness]

If they treat them the way they treated Howard Dean, it will work great.

Yeah. They are a joke.

I'm finally free to celebrate with you all once more!

I'm still completely shocked by her sweep two weeks ago.

And she won Ohio by 13 points. Talk about subverting expectations.

 

[Macho Madness]

Hawaii will likely be the closest state today but still a commanding Sanders victory by my estimation

 

[And_Gignac]

Hawaii is super diverse too, isn't? So kind of a moral victory too for Sanders there (if it happens).

It was a good night. It was also 1.5 weeks ago.

 

[Wilsongt]

So sanders picked up a nice chunk of delegates today?

The retroactive momentum has cost her the nomination.

She is conceding as we speak, and she is on her way to prison along with Bill who didn't disenfranchise enough people today to make a difference.

 

[Holmes]

Not great. This is like one of those GoT episodes where Danny fucks up. She returns to Westoros on the 19th.
