I don't know what you all are talking about. Burning POC and the left in a bid to flip moderate Republicans and centrist independents works for the Dems every single time.

Going to be really hard for the Libs to make headway in Georgia without finally making an effort to build a strong coalition with Hispanic voters.
Almost like the Dems forgot they lost the state in the 90s because of white folks around Atlanta finally realigning like the rural rednecks already had. I, for one, think it's brilliant to court these folks and expect a different longterm outcome.
Thanks SupeЯfuЯЯyanimal for turning me on to citations needed pod. It's so good, y'all should all dig in.
Edit: just so we're clear: eat the rich. I'll throw some croutons on top.
Hell yeah! It's defo one 9f the most consistent leftist podcast. At least in terms of well-researched output. I feel like I'm always learning new things from them and broadening my understanding of the media
Well, Burr is the head of the Senate Intel Committee (that put out the Russia report). If Burr did insider trading off coronavirus then he needs to go to jail, but if the other senators that also did this don't get charged, we all know why.
DOJ dropped investigations into Loeffler, Inhofe, and Feinstein so...

It's an easy comparison but I'm personally not down with it. We were going to get a reaction from police today it was just a question if the 3rd Precinct would be still standing tomorrow. .destroying police property tends to get a reaction, it's part of the strategy. MPD needs to be pressured into massive reform and Bob Kroll needs to be removed as union head.
Edit: 130am raining hard and there are multiple locations around the 3rd still occupied with a gathering in front as well. No idea what tomorrow will bring
Now he is threatening an executive order but refuses to comment on what it actually does
Twitter is not violating the First Amendment by marking up his tweets. Unlike the government, Twitter is a private company that can moderate its users’ speech as it pleases, without legal penalty
2. We are definitely getting four more years of Trump and Biden/the DNC don't even seem to care.
I'm no longer 100% sure Biden will lose but it took a global pandemic for that to occur. The Dems are still likely to fuck this up. I don't think there's any way to know until we see how Covid 19 and the economy plays out into the Fall.
Not sure what's going on. Could be protesters, could be random people that just want to wreck stuff. Could be agent provocateurs. Could be white supremacist or fascist types. It's getting crazy out there though.
I wouldn’t be upset if social media disappeared but it’s definitely an overstepping of power. Not that overstepping his power is anything new
These are my thoughts basically. Facebook being shut down would be a dream, but he needs it to spread disinfo and Zuck is in his pocket. But we all know the EO will just be targeted at anyone that doesn't goosestep in line with Dear Leader.

Also take this time to appreciate the intermittent shift from "fucking liberal snowflake pussies can only cry because they're soft" to "why does the left always riot and break things when anything goes wrong"
Honestly shocked by how upset people are about George Floyd’s death. It’s not like this is the first time this has happened. Maybe it’s just way more obvious that Floyd was so low risk and it’s clear that the cops are murderers but I’ve seen my pretty deep Red friends posting in support of the black community

In a story that is gaining steam, a GOP member of the PA Legislature attended a Reopen Rally on May 14th at the Capitol (half a mile from my house), tested positive for covid-19 on May 18, and went into quarantine afterwards. Two GOP legislators he interacted with self-quarantined, and they told the GOP leadership, who declined to tell any of the Democrats *until yesterday*, after rumors were running rampant in the legislature. Needless to say, Democrats are livid over this. The Speaker of the House is retiring as of the end of his term (November 30) but there are calls for his resignation now.
After accounting for the present crisis, the average millennial has experienced slower economic growth since entering the workforce than any other generation in U.S. history.
Millennials will bear these economic scars the rest of their lives, in the form of lower earnings, lower wealth and delayed milestones, such as homeownership.
The losses are particularly acute on the jobs front. One brutal month of the coronavirus set the labor market back to the turn of the millennium. The last time there were about 131 million jobs was January 2000.
For millennials who came of age then, it’s as if all the plodding expansions and jobless recoveries of their namesake epoch evaporated in weeks. [...]
Thanks to the Great Recession, the average millennial lost about 13 percent of their earnings between 2005 and 2017, Rinz found. That’s worse than Gen X’s 9 percent setback and almost double the 7 percent loss faced by baby boomers. By the end of the period, baby boomer earnings had recovered, even as millennials remained well below where they should have been.
Millennials, suffering through high unemployment during the recession, ended up less likely to work for high-paying employers and less likely to complete as much education as workers in places where the recession didn’t hit as hard.
They had to settle for worse jobs early in their careers, depressing their lifetime earnings potential. The employer side changed, too, Rinz finds. Big employers in the hardest-hit areas consolidated power over labor markets and, in turn, offered less to young workers who had few other options.
“If people enter the labor force during a recession, and they get into lower-paying jobs, that carries forward for much of their lifelong working careers,” said Ana Kent, a policy analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. “That’s going to have impacts on not only their income but their wealth and also their ability to save for a down payment and their ability to meet other lifetime goals.” [...]
Millennials are getting married later and having children later, and, at an age when boomers and Gen X were building equity, millennials have no housing net worth, Kimbrough’s analysis of Federal Reserve data show.
Yet millennials spend within their means more so than Gen X or boomers did at the same age, Kent’s analysis of separate Federal Reserve data show. That is, they’re more likely to spend less than they earn, and 52 percent of millennials were saving for retirement at age 34. At that age, just 42 percent of boomers had retirement savings.
“This narrative of, ‘Oh you should just work harder, sink or swim by your own effort?’ It’s very American, but it ignores the fact that the tide is much stronger now, and many millennials are swimming upstream,” Kent said.

I concur that Biden has a better chance than before Covid of getting elected, but watch him do something additionally stupid such as pick Klobuchar as VP.
Joe Biden's campaign is basically a beginner's list of things not to do when you're running for president. So of course we'll have President Klobuchar in 2023.
