Hell yeah on changing your opinion to fit the facts, dude. Let’s hear it for rational discourse!

“Man far worse than Trump refuses to condemn Trump” lol big surprise.

This is great, except in my case, where I have regional insurance that no one takes where I live. Everyone is out of network.

Adopting kids ain’t easy. People always say “you could just adopt” but they don’t realize just how much expense is involved. It could easily cost $50k.

This happened to me. I got a PhD and expected to be able to get a tenure track job in academia. Sure, it’s hard. But it wouldn’t be me that failed at it, right? Wrong. Three years later, no job, scraping by on adjunct work.

I went back to law school. Sometimes you have to redefine your life in a way that gives you new opportunities. Does it still hurt that I couldn’t get my dream job? Yeah, but I have a lot of good I can do for the world in other ways, and I’m not going to let that dream’s death prevent me from doing it.

In the states, a significant bug infestation of any kind is a landlord problem.

Pretty standard of chapo haters to only see the most surface-level reading of anything they post on social media.

What else is there? The rest is just civility handwringing.

So your objection is with fans of the podcast legitimately calling Warren a snake for withholding her endorsement until after Biden had solidified the Dems against the left? I can’t agree with that; it was a fuckup on her part and if she was a real left wing politician she would be have thrown her support behind someone who actually believes in what she says she stands for, rather than waiting until the moderates in the party had a fait accompli. I’ve never forgiven her for that.

What’s wrong with chapo?

Absolutely disqualifying!

I mean, men don’t live as long as women. Seems natural to focus on the group who has a bigger problem dying younger.

The polls in 2016 were largely on target. Clinton won the popular vote by roughly the predicted margin and the few key swing states that lost her the race had results that were largely within the margin of error. Lots of people took 2016 as an indication that polling is no longer good. That’s the wrong lesson to learn from 2016; it just doesn’t match the facts.

I bet these polls are within a couple points of the reality, as they pretty much always have been (even in the era of cell phones). They specifically weight the results based on the expected non-response of various groups. They account for the most obvious objection that anybody could raise about a modern poll (this one).

Been a long time. Once I found out it was all bones and hooves and connective tissue, that kinda took the fun out of it.

The polls are worse, by a lot. He is absolutely sinking and not coming back.

Would all those guys lose to Trump? Probably. Will Biden lose to Trump? Definitely. I’ll take long odds over no odds.

He could govern. No sane person can deny that Biden is not as mentally acute as he was four years ago.

What a moron
