Ive decided my least favorite deck to play against is any of the 6 different red that let them doublecast their shit for free.

Im terrible at remembering card names, but I got absolutely mollywopped by someone with a card that lets them put humans directly off their deck without paying every time a non-human attacks.

How do you not get run over by the aggro decks?

Im not kidding, I consistently gets 8 mana in 4 turns, so aggro isnt the biggest threat. The problem is accidentally having 14 mana and no creatures on turn 8, lol.

I dont have Bookwurm, but I need him.

I mean, yeah I guess so, but the losses feel totally out of my control, which feels terrible.

I have crafted a blue green deck that across 30 matches has a w/l rate of 75% of the time absolutely dominating, and 25% mana flooded embarrassing dunks, with no inbetween.

I do not know how to fix it, lol

Its also a very dumb statement in general, considering practically every other developed nation in the world has these radical ideas as their current policy.

Talking to apolitical but still empathetic people and youll find the default position is government takes care of its people.

Wow so radical

In lol Bernie would have lower approval news, according to this poll from yesterday, he has a current higher approval than Biden or Harris:

I'm not sure why he stood up for this one in particular. I'm too tired to do math without mistakes right now but I can tell you that with the numbers we have you aren't getting 10 million people so left of bernie that they want to cancel him, and likely not even close to that left of bernie even.

(Tony himself is arguably right of Bernie even)

Neither of you guys read what I said.

Your average person who pays zero attention to politics but casually considers themselves Liberal or Progressive is at worst aligned with with Bernie and at best to the Left of every other active politician.

All of those people support nationalized healthcare. High minimum wage. Free college. Forgiven school loans. Strong unions. Strong environmental controls. High taxes on the rich. Lower military spending. Zero kids in cages.

How many politicians genuinely support those things? Be honest, dont say heh well Kamala and Joe do because they may have paid lip service to it, but now that they have the reigns of power theyre not doing shit, and in Joes case specifically say theyre against many of those things.

There are unlikely to be 10 million people in the United States left of Bernie Sanders.

Citation needed?

Thats less than 1 in 30 of the population, and I dont know about you, but when I talk to Liberal/Progressive people who arent brain-poisoned by political social media, many of them are way further Left than any active politician.

The problem is when they dip their toes into politics and the first people they see are your Neera Tandens and your LordoftheMorons, who go look, Im on your side (theyre not), this is whats realistic, and then they lean away from it.

I mean, to put it bluntly, if you consider Bernie problematic to that level you are a problem and never going to be happy with anything. You are probably more than a bit delusional as well. So those people shouldn't be taken seriously.

Neera Tanden shouldnt be taken seriously. Exactly.

Dancedreamer posted...

How is it difficult to understand the difference between making racist and sexist comments, and giving out the HOME phone numbers of two top members of a union is a bit different from calling Mitch "Moscow Mitch" or Voldemort or any such thing?

It's not hypocritical at all. But it's easy to paint it that way when you don't want to look into something further.

What about some random people giving out the phone numbers of two union leaders vs outing an anonymous sexual assault survivor in a public meeting? Is that bad or no?

The far, far left's hate boner for Warren (who is only far left I guess) is so bizarre to me but whatever at this point. I'm not re-litigating why Warren is a great for the twentieth time and I'm assuming both sides have already made up their mind regardless.

I take issue with your framing of the farthest left, when many Neera Tanden defenders use that same label to horseshoe Bernie fans with MAGA chuds.

Anyway, it makes perfect sense that people have a hate boner. Many of us like(d) Warren and saw her as genuinely supporting things we care about, but in the last two primaries she didnt support Bernie, the best hope for those beliefs.

It shouldnt be bizarre that people are mad to discover shes a regular shitty politician!

I think Joe Biden is a genuinely good guy, unlike the vast majority of elected officials.

The problem is that he is also a genuinely stupid guy, who thinks bipartisanship is not just possible, but necessary AND intrinsically good, despite being Vice President for the guy who proved all of that wrong.

To address the (bad faith) argument that Bernies congress would be less progressive, and taking that to its logical conclusion, the implication that he would get less done, I would point to the powers of the office of the Presidency itself, which Joe seems unwilling to fully exercise, even to fix problems he explicitly said he would fix.

Disillusioned isnt really the right word for what you meant, but we are disillusioned so youre right about that.

Either way, I think the primary coordination and vitriol towards Bernie to this day proves the Neolibs would rather let Trump win, so I dont know where youre getting that we think Bernie would have rolled Trump.

I love the idea of the second checks coming 2 months after the last one for $600 being the same $2000 check, when realistically by March they should be working on the NEXT round of relief, and not just continuing the last one.

15 is going to hurt small businesses so bad, especially with them already struggling thanks to Covid as is. They're either going to have to drastically increase all their prices, or just heavily cut everyone's hours either way you're hurting your business.

Ideally their business model will be restructured where they can still survive without paying wages that require employees to scrape by.

So yeah, maybe hours will get cut, but also people will have more money to spend on their business, so...

I dont think it has to be complicated.

If a politician says some crazy shit, you ask them for proof of any kind.

If they have no basis, give them a chance to recant or explain at all. They dont even have to be right, they just need to prove theyre not making it up (see: lying).

Kids as young as middle school have to cite a source of they get a failing grade, its absurd our politicians arent even held to that.

Why are you speaking over him when his explanation is right there in the article you posted?

He says the outrage and attention should be focused on victims of the justice system like those disenfranchised by DC not having statehood.

The prosecutor, Joan Illuzzi-Orbon, said Ms. Cooper had participated in five therapy sessions that focused on how racial identities shape peoples lives. Her therapist had reported that the sessions were a moving experience and that Ms. Cooper learned a lot, Ms. Illuzzi-Orbon said.

Ms. Cooper had been offered the program, part of an alternative solution that falls under the rubric of restorative justice, partially based on her lack of criminal background, Ms. Illuzzi-Orbon said. Restorative justice, an alternative to traditional prosecution, looks at the harm done and implements a process for reconciliation among the parties involved, including the offender, the victim and the community.

The victim himself said he thinks society has punished her enough.

Theres no need to continue, this is the way it should be.
