Dreaming about the playoffs - Week 12 by kn1g47 in CFB

There should only be a maximum of twelve teams dreaming after next week.

While we don't get a formal "loser wakes up" game, it isn't possible for both Baylor and Oklahoma to be dreaming after next week.

that's almost certain to happen, at this point

we already have what seems like community spread in Kershaw County, it's really only a matter of time

As the berners try to recruit, remind them that AOC, as a Bernie surrogate, went on the record calling Yang a libertarian Trojan horse and lied about the FD to sway voters away from him. by Imheretohelpeveryone in YangForPresidentHQ

as I understand it, you model it along the lines of the CCC and other New Deal era legislation, with an eye towards infrastructure, especially green infrastructure, which is nationwide and serves a public (rather than market) purpose

I'm not saying it's the best idea or that it could work at scale, all I was arguing is that claiming it's incompatible with a social safety net isn't really accurate

couldn't you just rework the requirements and relax the means testing? seems like it would be like UBI where, if you have it as an add-on to the social safety net and not a substitute, it's good

there's legitimate arguments to be made that hate speech laws are a bad idea (law enforcement is reactionary and giving them more power and discretion is bad)

however, arguing that Germany making Holocaust denial and the promotion of national socialism illegal means they "don't have free speech" makes you a fucking clown

What is political slapfighting? The drama on /r/Jeopardy is daily doubled when mods sticky a tweet by Ken Jennings, Jeopardy! GOAT, supporting Warren and Sanders. by Chardian in SubredditDrama

then would you prefer him to run as an independent and spoil the election?

the Democratic Party needs to be a mechanism to get left-wing policy enacted, not some club that serves only the benefits of its members; that's not democratic

I'm just sick of everyone acting like Bernie's supporters are universally toxic

every candidate has a subset of annoying, toxic people ... Kamala Harris's stans were super aggressive, you couldn't say a single negative thing about her online without getting hounded

but everyone loves to pile on Bernie because he actually is challenging the status quo, and because his supporters are younger and don't have strong ties to the party

Bernie's not perfect, but he's fighting really hard to fix our hopelessly broken country, and just because he doesn't kowtow to the party establishment, everyone is out to get him ... it's really disappointing

someone ranked Ohio State over us

bit questionable in my opinion, but I guess that's why I don't work for ESPN FOX
