California GOP rep of CA-08 Paul Cook is strongly considering retiring and returning to local office
It's worth noting that the gay penguin episode was based on a real "controversy" -
I'm not super impressed with the Beto playlist. Also smaller than I expected.
I mean if it's hell to be in the minority party in the House while Trump is president I can envision trying to make an exit. Better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond and also the President is insane and you have to answer for every dumb shit he does.

A congressman who was elected in 2012 and is now finding out that being in the minority party kinda sucks perhaps...
Caucusing sucks, I get it, but like, is it worth creating another soft target for hackers? Why even consider this?
Oh.
He wants to stay home and golf in Palm Springs but still have a tittle and just enough lobbyists to stay under the radar and retire comfortably.
Wait...why did the Bernie people complain about caucuses in 2016? Literally, the biggest predictor of if Bernie would win something or not was "Is it a caucus." That's like....over half his wins came from caucus states. In fact, states that had both a caucus and a non-binding primary, Bernie exclusively did worse in every single primary...including some states where he won the caucus but lost the primary.
Their whole MO was just to cry 'rigged!' at every single thing. That's the problem in dealing with people who are convinced their candidate is the rightful king who could only be denied the throne by some external force.
And trying to placate them is a big reason why things are so ridiculously out of hand right now.
Caucuses are literally the worst thing ever. There is no excuse to utilize them. They're undemocratic as all hell. People shouldn't be able to yell at each other to brow beat people into switching to another candidate. You shouldn't have to give up 9 hours of your life to go sit in a school gym in bumfuck Iowa (which is a fate worse than death imo). Thank god there are only 6 of them this cycle, and two of which are Iowa and NV which is whatever.
More anecdotal evidence of a lack of enthusiasm for Biden on the ground in Iowa.
I'm proud of you.
And it's the ONE district in CA that didn't have a Dem in the fight too.
But whatever, the more bailing out there is, the better it should be.
I cast my bean vote today at the MN State Fair. Yeah Warren was kicking ass. Biden had almost no beans.
Eh, MN state fair might be a bit different than what you have in mind. There's a pretty nice art building and other cool exhibits/buildings and pretty good music stages all over. It's huge and there's a ton of food variety. It's not a bad day out. Walked over 10mi today.
Also you guys have literally buckets of cookies right? Man I need to visit.
Yeah sweet Martha's, unfortunately I am celiac so I can't eat them. Imo they're kind of overrated though back before I was diagnosed, but they are good with some fresh milk. The milk is literally milked at the fair.

I don't think other candidate supporters would field random questions from a random video game site to ask an academic with ties to a campaign, backing the candidate's unrealistic plan...
Lol.
I'm just asking questions and playing Devil's Advocate because so many people shit on Bernie and his supporters on a daily basis.
Failing NYT pouring one out for Climate Daddy.
Of course now it's time for a climate change only debate! And lots of threads about plans!
(No Editorial for that other guy who dropped out, lol.)

I agree because then at least the Sanders people would go after him like you wouldn't believe blg league beautifully.
Still the forum. I'm not sure how to feel on the debate. Climate change is clearly an important issue. But so are voting rights. And so is income inequality. And so are abortion rights because I HATE children. I think it's weird to let activists dictate that you add debates covering specific topics. But I clearly want to hear them debate on climate change.
Yes, obeying their corporate masters to prevent a highly constructive activity that will clearly advance discussion on the issue. 1 minute soundbites and 30 second responses are actually the best format for all issues.
Only $16 trillion will do!
Vote Jill Stein!
Yeah, they all have unrealistic plans to mitigate climate change outside of Inslee and Booker. They are the only two dems seriously proposing the use of nuclear in a meaningful way. And there is literally no way to mitigate climate change in the immediate term without nuclear as the cornerstone of the plan.I
Billions will greatly suffer or die if we don't utilize nuclear power to fix this. Mark my words.
