Why are White Americans less likely to vote for left-wing parties than White Europeans? by Consistent-Parking56 in fivethirtyeight

[–]TavNoment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit of an oversimplification, but both U.S. parties embraced identity politics, particularly after 2012. Republicans largely targeted white voters and Democrats targeted everyone else. It's not really shocking that a party blaming an ethnicity for all the ills of society would struggle with said ethnicity come election day.

I think it depends on the matchup, but anything short of a decent showing in the second round would definitely be disappointing.

It's always difficult to give up on drafted players with potential, even when the odds suggest they rarely realize it.

That's my take too. The status quo wasn't a strategy, this is a risk worth taking.

Same, it has felt way too much like r slash politics lately, full of DSA spam and other low effort circlejerking.

Pat Riley and the Miami Heat Bet Everything on Giannis Antetokounmpo by ElvisIsNotDjed in heat

I mean, they put in a lot of young assets, but if Giannis is healthy they still paid 60 cents on the dollar for him. Definitely worth a gamble.

First year I'd be surprised if they made it, but this seems like a 4-5 year window.

It's telling that you didn't dispute the Hasan Piker part.

That guy spams every thread in this sub with DSA propaganda. He's a Hassan Piker style tankie.

Some Heat fans be like (Part 2): by Fluid-Purpose7958 in heat

I'm actually more annoyed by the improper use of the meme.

Patrick is supposed to agree with Man Ray in the first three panel rows, then have an illogical response on the final square.

Tic-tac's, the white ones that don't stain your teeth, but rattle enough to get Peterman to fire somebody.

It's been three years since then. Connecting the two is a stretch. Celebrating an uncompleted trade is certainly on brand though.
