I have a tough time believing that Warren wouldn't be a great President. She's reasonable, engaged, enthusiastic, and knows the art of compromise and being pragmatic while still standing her ground.

Who's making the argument that it's all biological?

When I'm trying to view threads the messageboard won't load and is just a white page with Request Header Fields Too Large written.

Not a weird thing to point out when the perspective that liberals have a bloodlust to kill the innocent and groom children is getting closer to a mainstream thing people actually think.

....no.

While it's impossible to have it perfectly balanced for everyone every year, if we go to a permanent 4 or 5 and the rest rotating, that will mostly take care of the problem won't it? No more getting Ohio State 8 out of 10 years, because the number of teams and the rule of cycling through everyone keeps you from getting stuck.

The misuse of pronouns being or not being sexual harassment would depend entirely on the context of the misuse. There's definitely a certain way that could go down that would qualify, much in the same way where if I was constantly making remarks at work to my female coworker about her huge boobs and how great they are would also qualify as sexual harassment. It doesn't have to be physical, but we really don't know enough about this situation to have a good evaluation yet.

Um YES! Tucker and many others are trying to raise the alarm on how we're being harmed by all of them replacing all of us! /s

My 5th grade teacher in '00 told us (not taught, just telling a story) about how she went to a Klan rally and the KKK isn't as bad as people think.

But the perception and stereotype remain, whether right or wrong. Trev knows this and it will be an element to be mindful of if we're in that position at the end of 2022.

100% this. You read the mom's quotes in that news article and you know immediately what type of parent that is, and it isn't one that you would give the benefit of the doubt to in a situation like this. Come on, we all know that mom. Interested to see more factual details come out.

If this staff pulls a similar thing to Solich's 2003 staff, the AD will be very aware of how bad the optics would be if they got the can after. If Frost wins 7 games he's safe. He's had the ability to win 7 every year he's been here, even with less talented and put together rosters.

Obviously not the worst city if there's that many homeless people. Homeless people go to the good cities, they wouldn't go be homeless in a s#!thole

People are going to LOSE it when they find out they can add a pound sign before a word to make it categorized and searchable as a "hash tag"

Why have a salary cap? Why have max contracts?

I think he's talking more about the politicians and their policies. Take Obamacare for instance. That was essentially a Republican idea in the 90's, then with the right going whacko and trying to provide something centrist policy-wise, it's actually pretty right-wing and still was called socialism.

I'm sure a receptionist just wrote down 'Mike from OSU is interested" and there was a classic miscommunication.

He's saying if your strategy is to be firmly in the median/average between the two parties, and one party starts shifting the overton window while the other stays still, then the third way/centrist has to start moving that way too to maintain being in the middle. So if the left side is at -50% and the right side is at 50%, the centrists try to stay at 0. But if the left side stays at -50% and the right side goes up to 100%, now the centrists are shifting to be 25% to the right.

Oh. Just wait.

I'm fuzzy on the timeline but was the vaccine only available to people classified in certain at-risk categories at that time or was it available to everyone? Either way, the tweet is dumb and misleading and shouldn't be up.

These new call of duty games are insane

It's a complicated game but they're certainly not putting their best foot forward and constantly shooting themselves in the foot by A) not being willing to be louder and more pissed off about issues and B ) trying to be everything to everybody (except somehow some bases that they could make a dent in but choose not to even try for).

You don't even need to stoop down nearly as low as the Republican Outrage Machine™‬ to do so much better in this regard if you're the Democratic party. Let's take one easy example. Veterans. In isolated environments dems have good talking points about helping veterans, but so does the GOP. So what do you do? You can lie and spread misinformation everywhere, or you can just get better at telling simple truths and telling them loudly. "The GOP does not support veterans. Veterans, every chance they get republican politicians vote against your health and safety. We're trying to make sure you're set up for a good life after you serve this country but these people are making it impossible. Every time we try to extend your health coverage they try and block it. We have a bill ready to guarantee you are protected, but they keep trying to stop us from getting it through and stopping you from being able to be healthy."

Enacting would be great, but that's not even what we're talking about here. This convo started with knapplc saying "voters are tired of Democrats sitting on their hands", and a tweet expressing that voters need to see fight and conviction. This is about the marketing and visibility game. The Democrats are constantly losing the messaging game, which is one cog in the machine that leads to their awful election results. One guaranteed way to make sure you won't accomplish something is if you don't even try. Reframe the narrative. Put things to votes so you can point to people voting against it. Come up with new talking points. Fill the media with the benefits and the messaging of your goal. Create the impression that you are trying like hell to actually get this done and the people not on board are the ones standing in the way of voters having their student loans forgiven or better access to healthcare or whatever, instead of accepting defeat in the public eye by either ignoring or being weeks late in addressing the misinformation and spin from your opponents. Progressive folks want to see some actual teeth to progressive politics.

Yeah and they don't do jack s#!t in regards to those positions.
