Are they really trying to do a distinction between PAC's and politicians themselves in terms of what they'll allow?
Not a good look at all.
Now all that needs to happen is for AOC to just publish this ad, directly. And let's see what FB does.

This post is to you what the "record player" gaf was to the Biden campaign.I can't be the only one who wants :laughingcryingsmile: banned from earth.
If you use the smilie, you should go to 303030 and get a life. Awful smiile. Worse than poomoji used like affectionately.This post is to you what the "record player" gaf was to the Biden campaign.
You'll survive, but wow
If you were growing up in the 80s and 90s, the was a 75% chance you saw some form of Trek media. There were three shows that were airing in the 90s at one time, I think.I had no idea poliera was chock full of massive Trekkie nerds. Bet y'all speak Klingon when you get together to play Star Trek:The Gathering cards with other nerds dressed up in Enterprise uniform.

Are the GOP more PAC heavy? Honestly, I can live with this. Beats the alternative at least.Oh, so they will fact check political ads. But only when they might hurt the GOP. Gotcha
Liberals into TV show about a moneyless future where everyone has equal rights and the ability to better themselves however see fit. Seems logical to me.I had no idea poliera was chock full of massive Trekkie nerds.

Did anybody even watch the video for the full response? I know it's like 90 seconds, but theres a bit more than the quoted
That's a pretty intense question to be asked "what would you tell me if I were your son?"Yea I did.
He's not wrong... this is what some black families do tell their kids... He could have definitely handled it better.

Bernie, for fuck's sake. Shit like this is why you're struggling with getting votes from minorities.
The correct answer is both.Really? I could've sworn he was struggling with both. =S
Oh well.
This.Bernie's answer didn't sit right with me.
Yes, the instruction black people get as kids is to be very compliant and meek with police, because police are looking for any reason to do harm to you. That is very real.
But Bernie's answer seemed to be couched in respectability. The idea that we should be polite and respectful because that's what the police deserves, and that black people are brutalized by police because we don't give them those things. There was too much emphasis on how black people "should behave" and no real acknowledgment that black people who do behave "properly" are still brutalized and killed by cops.
The way I read it by him saying "they'll shoot you in the BACK of the head" and "we need to hold them accountable" was him saying these things. Respect the situation of a violent person with a gun just looking for a reason to kill you being very dangerous, not respect the nice police officer who will shoot you in the back of the head because you probably deserved it.Bernie's answer didn't sit right with me.

This.
Like, I am white as fuck, so maybe I am off base here. But the idea that the police are somehow OWED respect by virtue of their position or else? Fuck that. I reads like victim blaming. And the body camera thing is dumb. I cannot fathom a world in which a cop who turned off their camera is going to be less likely to shoot someone if you ask if their camera is on.
Here's where I'll acknowledge my own potential bias: I'll accept that interpretation as implicit if it's coming from another black person.I suppose he could have been a bit more obvious, but that all seemed to be in the subtext of what he said.
Don't make me sad. :(Hillary knew this. God, her campaign was like fucking manna from heaven compared to the jokes this year.
I fear for Hillary's liver, sis.
That's fair.Here's where I'll acknowledge my own potential bias: I'll accept that interpretation as implicit if it's coming from another black person.
If you're an old white man? No. You need to spell out to me in plain language that you get it. Because, frankly, old white men have not earned the benefit of the doubt here.

Very much so.At its heart, TNG is a show about the power of meetings. That's why I love it so much.
Growing up overseas, I missed the two most iconic American creations: Star Trek and Star Wars. I never paid attention them. I however caught up on my Star Wars because there's like 6 movies only (we collectively as a society decided the prequels never happened). Star Trek however, I never knew where to begin. I actually did watch the 09 reboot and kinda liked it. Always knew that Trek's popularity was largely in part due to Kirk and Spock's chemistry as well. But never had an idea on where to begin if I wanted to get fully versed. Anyways, thanks for sharing!Pretty much this, I wouldn't call myself a trekkie by any stretch (I think putting Kirk dead last is an automatic disqualification) but I watched TNG and DS9 with my dad and brothers when I was a kid (along with stuff like Quantum Leap and X-Files) and it's been syndicated so much you can find it pretty much anywhere any time (for example, I was stuck in a hotel earlier this week and watched a few episodes of TNG on BBC America). Never been to any conventions, played any games, read any novels or comics... the only one I own is a DVD of First Contact.
I will say though, it's a pretty comforting, mostly-positive show. When I get sick I tend to camp out on the couch and binge watch stuff I can half pay attention to, the last time I had the flu I went through most of TNG.
Yeah this was the awkward part. Otherwise I'm not sure what other answer he's supposed to give? Would it be okay to add something like a "same as everyone else" to it? Because uh yeah everyone should be doing that.but when he followed that up with "so you don't get shot in the back of the head" it does come off as ehh...
