Maybe from the conservative perspective Harris, Warren, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, and Gabbard seem similar, but I see Warren and Gabbard as being significantly different from the others. Warren is much more progressive on policies similar to Bernie (although Bernie is still to the left of her on most issues). Gabbard is one of the only outspoken anti-war, non-intervention candidates running. Harris, Gillibrand, and Klobuchar are somewhat similar in that they're from the corporate/establishment wing of the party but as the primary continues I think we'll see that they'll distinguish themselves from each other.

It's been a long time since we returned all our coaches and our starting QB. I said 9-3 with losses to tOSU, NW, and Purdue, but those 3 along with Wisconsin and Iowa are tossups at best. As others have said, I wouldn't be surprised with any record from 7-5 to 10-2.

You'll both have to get there before I drive those interior linemen back into the QB and get the sack myself.

Read the links I posted because that's not true. Here's from the second link:

The “No Life-Saving Abortions” Lie, and Why It Persists Tough questions — and answers — on ‘late-term’ abortions, the law and the women who get them .

You're moving the goal posts. You were originally upset that NY changed it's laws such that the guy who killed a pregnant woman had the abortion charge dropped. If NY laws were not changed, the guy still wouldn't have been charged with two murders. Nobody is arguing life doesn't begin at conception. In fact both the sperm and the egg are living cells prior to conception, and the embryo is also alive after conception. Science has long ago proven that. And the abortion law in NY has late-term restrictions, here's what it actually says: "According to the practitioner's reasonable and good faith professional judgment based on the facts of the patient's case: the patient is within twenty-four weeks from the commencement of pregnancy, or there is an absence of fetal viability, or the abortion is necessary to protect the patient's life or health."

Driving a 2005 Accord. Want to replace with a Tesla but will probably replace with a Nissan Leaf someday.

But you're complaining about the guy not getting charged with an abortion charge, which isn't at all the same as what you're wanting in this post.

So your point is that committing other crimes like assault somehow means abortion should be illegal? Or are you somehow thinking that making abortion illegal will be a deterrent to assaults and murders?

I linked to the car manufacturers going from 3+ million cars in 1941 to basically none (139 over the next 3 years). You said we can't change that fast, but I've just shown an example that we did indeed change that fast, so it's not only possible but it's already been done. Now whether we should or will do that for climate change is a different issue, but we can do it if we so choose. As for your questions, they don't really matter for whether we institute a Green New Deal. Plus you're conflating things we do currently with things that we've done in the past, but I'll give you my personal answers: Do you drive a car? Yes, but I also walk or ride a bike when I can. Plus I try to live close to where I work (I was actually working from home for several years) and generally try to reduce transportation. Although I do fly about once or twice a year when there isn't a practical alternative. And I've worked out that swapping my current Honda Accord for an electric vehicle won't save as much in greenhouse gases as waiting for the Accord to die. Do you recycle EVERYTHING that can be recycled? Yes, but I much prefer to reuse. For example, we get milk in glass containers that can be washed and reused, and we save other glass containers for our own reuse rather than recycling them. Do you leave lights on? No, but it's a constant battle to get the kids to turn them off. The next two questions don't matter as it's not what we've done but what we're doing now and what we'll do in the future that matters. We can't change the past. Ever smoke? Ever use aquanet (I did, I had some sweet feathered looks back in the day)

But it's easier to change a ICE car plant to an electric car plant than convert a tuna canning factory to a bullet making factory. And you might want to read about the war production for WW2:

Change can be fast or slow. The entire US economy changed to war production in the first few months of 1942. It's about whether we have the will to make a change that fast or not.

I wonder if @Sker fer life knows the votes are public?

First, the only thing that got dropped was the "abortion" charge, not any murder charge. But it still doesn't make any sense as the law still requires a legal practitioner to perform the abortion and that the abortion can only be done to protect a patient's life or health. So this is still against the law in NY. Not to mention the guy is still being charged with murder of the woman.

AOC did an interview with NPR about the GND: https://www.npr.org/2019/02/07/691997301/rep-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-releases-green-new-deal-outline (EDIT: I can't figure out how to link the audio interview directly, but you can directly play it from the linked webpage.)

Sorry, I didn't mean to attack you - I thought those were the words coming from the article.

Middle and poor classes haven't had a real wage increase in decades. Couple that with rising healthcare costs, student loan debt, and the effects of the Great Recession, and it may not take a recession for people to start embracing big government again. (Or maybe government-for-the-people is a more friendly term.)

Also, if Trump and/or the Repubs run on anti-socialism, it'll be interesting to see if it actually works as they've been crying wolf on socialism for many years now. Spending 8+ years decrying Obama as a socialist (he's not at all) may have eroded the effectiveness of that attack.

What? Those aren't mutually exclusive. They aren't even the same kinds of things.

Has a D1 coach ever been fired between Signing Day and the start of spring practice?

Crap! Well, my apologies to all the ladies out there.

Now that's a great setup for a "Hold my beer" moment.
