Warren is bad at math. November 1990 to January 2020 is less than 30 years.
And apparently there's video of Bernie back from the 1980's in which he says a female can win the Presidency? Who is lying?
Not a good a day for Liz.
Biden admitting the war he voted for was a mistake is pretty damning to being commander in chief. Dude isn't qualified just like Bloomberg's stop and frisk automatically eliminates him.

Ya'll coming in this thread and stir this shit up is gonna get your asses banned. You folks cant seem to grasp political analytics from people that have been in this community for years that understand nationwide elections and the realities of the senate and EC. People in this thread talking about how Biden might be the best way forward or Warren for that matter, arent exactly in some cult worshiping them. They are looking at polls and elections in red states and purple states, and because those thoughts get verbalized and talked about regularly, it immediately seems to be taken as OT true progressives VS this thread., which is horseshit. Like i unironically see this every day from people. And im not just talking about todays events over these stupid squabbles. This has been a year long thing.

The Warren slant in this thread is always unreal.
What are you all going to do when she endorses Sanders?
Disappear? Swallow your pride? What?
You all seem too stubborn to ever change your minds about anything.
I am actually extremely excited because based on all the indisputable proof against trump, his conduct and abuse of power, his history of sexual harassment, etc. We have all this proof and thats great because it beans one of two things:
1. If the senate trial occurs before the 2020 election thanks to all the facts 100 perent of all senators will vote to remove him
or
2. whatever democrat runs against trump in 2020 will obtain all 538 electoral votes.
What a great time to be alive

I do think many of you including myself are living in a bubble re warren.
I am getting surrounded by Hillary 2.0 vibes here in MN. My wife says she doesn’t like warren. My coworker best bud says warren is a gun to the head candidate. My mom my dad don’t like warren.
These are all lifelong dems and they all don’t like warren. I love her and donate to her and I hope she wins the whole thing.
But honestly just the vibe to me is that she’s fucking worse than Hillary at this point in terms of talking about her from people I know.
And honestly I will say she looks like a crazy pissed off bird woman in all all these debates. Everyone i watch these debates with says with no prompting damn she looks fucking crazy. Her fucking eyebrows don’t move (and that’s true). Just saying anecdotally I get Hillary vibes and it ain’t good.

i haven't defended him? iv'e simply said that claiming he's a 'racist' based on this is guess work at best. considering how long ago it was. what he said was all kinds of fucked up and gross. but it's pointless to continously judge people for things they've done in the past, if there are things in the present to suggest they have made amends and worked on these flaws. which things would suggest the person in question here have.
and i don't even really care about the biting, i don't view it as in any way worse than all the other 'aop' stuff that goes on during a football match. it got headlines because it's something that is mainly related to child like behavior during adolescence. what he said to evra deserved a ban 100%, he's served his time.
plugging a ''he's a racist narrative'' 7 years later? c'moni don't support any club. never have. your post is a good example of why i want nothing to do with anything related to it either.

ReasonUser Banned (1 month): hostility, ignoring the modpost
Since you've clearly read my PM I sent after you asked to send moderation complaints privately and there is no answer despite me trying to keep this private, Imma be real damn clear and real damn public here.
Simply put, it's a BAD FUCKING LOOK for you to be not just a moderator but an administrator on this site that claims to have strict rules on piracy and do what you did to the SJ thread.
This is a site where piracy in general is frowned upon and people can get banned or threads can be closed for the mere suggestion that they've done it no matter the reasons or circumstances. We can see an example of it here in this thread with people reminiscing about emulation that you personally closed because it amounted to admission and/or advocating of piracy.
Yet you're the same admin who looks the other way on many manga threads whose foundations are built on this because of the history of late manga localizations. Not only that, you actively admit to piracy yourself weekly in these threads.
The time people brought up the hypocrisy in the way the site has handled manga piracy and the way discussion of illegal chapters has been normalized, you ducked out of the conversation. That's a bad look on its own, a worse one when we consider the thread linked above that you closed yourself. You are a hypocrite as an admin.
And now, I make one manga thread on this site where the rules of this site are actually respected, one thread that can legitimately be taken seriously on this front while not having to disrupt the rules and habits in other threads and that's the one thread you close? Because apparently, that one is redundant despite the clear support it's had and despite the fact that you didn't even give it a chance to settle in yet all these other threads normalizing discussion of illegally released material that those who prefer reading officially have to steer clear from are fine and you let those fly, actively partaking yourself? It's fine to be a hypocrite but it's not fine to have a thread about a particular magazine?
I'll say it again. It is a bad fucking look for you to do what you've done. It's hard to take you seriously as an administrator of this site.
If this is somehow bannable despite just wanting a thread for discussion of legally released material and despite me telling you this privately and you not responding, then whatever, you've already lost whatever credibility you had in my eyes anyway.
And here I thought it was the other way 'round. I kid I kid.. the problem the "left" has is that its an umbrella term so broad it's members can tell each other apart with such ease because it covers everything from a simple planned economy, to stateless societies and single state dictatorships. Communism, socialism, anarchism, social democracy, democratic socialism, eco socialism... Take your pick.
I'd love to see "the left" spoken of only in the contex of planned economic policies but that would be too hard wouldnt it. Seems today, being leftist means you are pro choice, not religious, PC pro rights and bonus points if you cal yourself non bnary. All those wolnerful buzzwords that sell clicks.

Oh come on, he said some dumb shit ages ago and apologized for it, I don't know what else he could do short of inventing a time machine and stopping his younger self from being stupid.
I find him insufferable but that's just ridiculous.
Man. I had to just hit ignore on the Etc thread. And the OP, too, who was so thirsty to make sure every complaint got a new threadmark. As the thread descended into a dogpile and banfest it just got really difficult to stomach.
I'm hoping that if I can just use the ignore list feature I can enjoy the site a bit more than I have been, but it seems like toxic behavior by people who are ideologically aligned with the moderation's positions is bound to go unchecked, while crossing the moderation's personal beliefs will pretty much catch you a ban one way or another - usually because of the assertion that such disagreement constitutes "defending sexism," or "dismissing racism," no matter how careful the person is to say that they abhor sexist and racist actions they believe are happening, "Drive-by" is one that only comes out if you're not in lock-step, despite dozens of completely disingenuous, unsubstantiated, dismissive one-liners that are on the preferred side of a discussion flying by with no problem; it's a good catch-all if the mods just want to hit mute on someone who isn't down with the position being taken.
This is not to say RLM is above criticism, but the discussion is never about criticizing a thing someone said, it's a rush to make a broader judgement call on who the person is. In that kind of environment it is really difficult to make this case that "I don't think they're that kind of person - here's why," even though that's the exact question being begged when the OP begins a crusade to cancel someone. And it's difficult because going there to make the discussion about the kind of person they are is engaging more with the general than the specific complaint, which treads into appearing to "handwave" or "dismiss" or "defend."
I love how progressive this place is - the political threads are really fun for me for that reason, this is all just about the toxicity of the discussion trajectory that happens time and again and how moderation enables it. I don't notice it so much when the target is something I'm less familiar with, or if I agree unreservedly in the takedown in progress. In the case of RLM, it disturbed me quite a bit.

To clarify further, the person was not a member of the insurance beneficiary's household. That's what's meant by non-household. That's the fact that trips things up.
Paying for other's healthcare and insurance costs is a very different thing from being on the same insurance plan.
Listing a person that's not related to you and that's not a member of your household as a dependent on your insurance plan is insurance fraud.
