  • Because it takes time to build a national campaign. You need 50 different states to sign off on the ballots. The DNC can basically hand-pick a candidate, but they would basically be telling every primary voter to get fucked.

    There would be legal challenges in 50 different states, and the GOP only needs one activist judge (and they have 6 on the SCOTUS).

    The last time there was a brokered convention was 1952.

    Plus, who? Who is the dream candidate? Who is so widely appealing that they would be unanimously accepted by the Democratic party leadership and the voters? Who has the leadership qualities, the experience, the confidence, the name recognition, and the credentials to beat the shit out of Trump? And where the fuck have they been?




  • Yes, you’re right about the humidity being the biggest factor, and that will also make bread go stale. It also depends on whether it’s prepackaged bread or freshly baked. Prepackaged bread is less likely to arrive with mold spores, and the packaging keeps humidity out during transit and storage. Once it is opened to the humidity, especially in tropical climates, refrigeration will slow any growth.

    For people in arid climates, their refrigerator might actually be more humid than their cupboards.






  • If you like oatmeal, try overnight oats. Add some water, touch of maple syrup, your favorite fruit, dash of salt, and put it in the fridge. You can make a week’s worth at a time, and try different recipes to see what you like. I went through a phase where I tried all sorts of recipes, not all vegan.

    You can add other grains, too. Barley worked surprisingly well, but chia seeds had that gelatinous texture I don’t care for. Pumpkin seeds, cashew pieces, and poppy seeds were all good. You can also stir in peanut butter, nutella, sunbutter, or cookiebutter if you want to make it more of a treat.










  • I agree with you that it wasn’t a cakewalk, but the problem was she treated it like a cakewalk. She assumed she had it locked up, and ignored all polling that didn’t support her landslide victory. She punished downticket candidates who didn’t bend the knee by skipping their districts in places like Wisconsin and Michigan, because she assumed people would show up for her.

    She ran a terrible campaign, kowtowing to the worst attacks, thinking it was politics as usual, acting like she was above the fray while she was face down in the mud getting stomped on.

    She should have gone on the offensive. She should have presented a vision for a better America. She failed us all, and for that she deserves as much scorn as we can conjure.
