Then you’ll be remembered as the egotistical, arrogant piece of shit that doomed our Republic when you had the last best chance to save it. Like RBG but worse.

This is so fucking dumb, the entire thing is premised on meaningful primaries occurring all over the country. How many of those “57” were actually competitive? I know my state had literally one candidate on the ballot. Biden extremely strongly implied that he wouldn’t run for a second term, then pulled a “lol jk it’s me or the literal fascist.” Most people didn’t want Biden to run again, but here we fucking are. And The Atlantic has the gall to say that this is a vocal minority of crybabies demanding an open and competitive primary be overturned. Fuck off.

Actually I’m the oldest! I just had a lot of games that weren’t exactly cutting edge at the time lol

Bro I’m early 30s and I was like “OHHHH SHIT MY CHILDHOOD!” haha

Really? Huh. I get natural too and I feel like it stays good for a couple weeks, but gets a kinda weird bitterness after that. Kinda like celery but less dramatic. It’s definitely still edible either way though.

If it’s the more natural kind it can go rancid if you don’t eat it fairly quickly. If it’s peanut butter flavored frosting like Jiff then it doesn’t matter really

In my state there were literally not other options. We had a single candidate primary.

Tell me you don’t understand directionally or literal numbers without telling me…

Yeah, his model gave her less of a chance than most others and their podcast constantly, over and over, warned people that this means Trump wins three elections if you run it ten times. People who wrote 538 off because it didn’t call the election for Trump are some of the dumbest mouthbreathers you’ll run into.

Exactly. It’s very much structural. And fixable, but we won’t fix it :/

I understand, but how is it viable, from the standpoint of the opposition, to be anything other than a unified party in opposition if there’s no chance to bargain for a position in a coalition government, to form a coalition to win an election to make a new government, etc? That doesn’t make any sense, why would anyone split like that?

No, the executive is compartmentalized and voted for separately, so there’s no dissolution of parliament, negotiations over forming a government, etc. Seems like a small difference, but structurally it’s a large and impactful distinction.

Wait do other people really not get that this is sarcasm?

It’s not a hard choice, and everyone should make that easy choice this November. Still, that doesn’t make it easy to plug your nose and do it.

“I don’t understand why turnover is so high. Ever since COVID people just don’t have any work ethic. The lockdowns really destroyed our economy in irreparable ways. Wait no, don’t quit.”
