Why would you build a high rise on land you don’t own? I expect it isn’t completely unheard of, but it just seems like a terrible idea.

You’re speaking to an incredibly skilled flutist.

Nobody said that a third party would win the presidency, so that’s a weird question. The answer is no, but you already knew that.

The tea party is a great example of Republicans listening to their base. Democrats should do the same. I don’t see anyone telling the far right they HAVE to vote for Republicans even if they run a liberal candidate. Democrats don’t own the votes of the Left either.

Voting for progressives down ballot is not a real way to influence the party, and I don’t believe you really think it is. Also, like I said, many progressives do that.

It’s just another line from the DNC to tell the progressives to shut up. When Dems start treating progressives like Republicans treat MAGA (worship, adoration, and fear) then you can expect that progressives will vote for Dems at the top of the ticket.

If one’s hardware is 10+ years old, I don’t think upgrading to the latest OS is likely high on their list of priorities.

Unscrupulous adoption agencies will often pay for children.

Historically, dictators go hand in hand with peaceful transfers of power after their term is done!

So if you’re with two Rikers, you’ll probably get ignored. But you get to watch two Rikers, so still worth it.

Conservatives think that some people are just better than others and, surprise surprise, they’re near the top of the “natural hierarchy”.

“I’m an immigrant, but I’m not like those other immigrants because I don’t [Republican stereotype of immigrants]”

People can vote for the candidates they like locally even if they don’t like the top of the ticket. I didn’t say anything about down ballot elections.

And you still don’t have any answer for my question.

I’m also curious why he isn’t being treated as a POW. This seems like a violation of the Geneva convention, but there’s too little information here.

Lengthy incarceration does not prevent crime.

Some jail time, a year long ban from social media, and restitution seem like a fitting punishment.

Please don’t conflate plain, basic criticism with antisemitism. Nobody said anything about a “Jewish cabal controlling Canada”. It is fair to question the extent to which some nations support Israel for their own geopolitical reasons.

Maybe you can’t speak for what socialists prefer. It’s really odd to say it’s third party voters’ fault your preferred candidate didn’t win rather than your candidates fault they did not attract enough voters.

If everyone left of the Overton window promise to vote for the Democrats regardless of what policies the Democrats propose, what prevents the Democrats from moving to the right?
