I guess we have reached a social austerity phase of oligarchy.

Interesting terminology.

I’m still waiting for evidence of this supposed “apartheid” that people keep going on about.

It has been evidenced and been in discourse widely and long enough to have its own wikipedia entry. Human rights organizations like Amnesty International have definitely made the case. What evidence are you waiting for?

Also, the reference to Israel being an “apartheid state” is the most ludicrous statement and anyone who expressed it can be safely ignored.

Well I’d love to hear the argument that tries to back this statement up.

The right wing is certainly energized.

Top-two mixed primary regardless of partisan affiliation.

One primary ballot held, all candidates declare a party ‘preference’, all votes counted together. Top two go onto the general election.

It varies by state election rules, but for me all the downballot third party candidates are eliminated in the primaries.

All local and state elections on my ballot are: Democrat v Republican, Democrat v Democrat, or Unopposed.

Can’t steal from an empty bamk account.

Electoral College with First Past The Post electors. Hundreds of millions of american votes are dumpstered for the presidential election. So a significant portion of protest voters in deep red OR deep blue states aren’t impacting the outcome. Only swing states decide the outcome and even then it is only a few districts within those states. And so the electoral outcome for the presidency gets reduced to the most salient wedge issues in those communities.

It just so happens some things are not so localized an issue. So the idea (or one of them) is to demonstrate whether there is a meaningful voting bloc to be had here that deserves to be listened to, or can continue to be ignored.

I have been watching some people stream it and have not seen any signs of performance issues nor complaints about content.

Except some vocal frustrations from chatters that the game does not have romance and/or boykissing.

So…

He has created an exceptional body of work I listen to in various ways almost daily. I imagine he has inspired many generations of musicians and composers these past near four decades.

My mind still reads it ‘foogoo’. Just because I correct it in speech doesn’t mean my mind knows and yearns for a better way.

Teens in a military base.

People in a school.

Hmm.

My spouse is a former roommate who more or less teleported into my living room.

…Along with 5 other people in a 2 bedeoom house.

But while it worked out for me I do not recommend it as a reliable strategy. We were lucky.

Israel’s government knows their actions hurt the current American administration who they expressly want ousted.

Or it will continue to hurt their electoral chances at least as long as the current administration continues to back them uncritically and unquestionably.

One set of grandparents willfully and intentionally wound up as ashes in a mausoleum in Indiana. I haven’t visited.

The other set, also ashes, were spread in the Atlantic. Gramps was spread when the tide was going out, unfortunately. So he took a while.

“Your pee is too scrumptious!”

The NATOist right-wing really felt disenfranchised by Trump and that’s been playing out for about 8 years now.

I can’t recall if it is the MBFC person or the bot maker but one of them staunchy doesn’t think there’s a distinction between ‘liberal’ and ‘left’.

So the inherent bias in their bias analysis is off the charts. Xzibit would be proud.

With more tongue.
