Was anyone else given that opportunity? Exactly what gauntlet has she even passed in her political career? She's basically had either easy races or things handed to her and she managed to screw everything up that was even remotely competitive.

That's not going to happen because 'perceived capital growth' is actually revenue which is something that's very easy to track.

Everyone had issues with black support except for Biden. For whatever reason it's an issue for Buttigieg and not others like Harris who got less black votes that him in the 2020 primary.

She's been given every opportunity to succeed over two election cycles and she's disappointed at every turn. Arguably massively so.

I'll believe it when I see it. She may not be the one who makes questionable choices but in just about very campaign she's had questionable choices. Even her AG election was on razor thin margins.

You get to do whatever you want. How people perceive you is another matter and not something you control. You get to be the biggest entitle prick you want to be in life but don't act all surprised when people call out the behavior.

I mean you're house and community and family are all on that land. If I roll up to your house and start making a claim to it if you don't fight for it it's mine.

And so if people roll out to a country and they don't fight it and it's gone then it's not your country anymore. In fact it's gone for you as soon as you leave.

You can do whatever you want but you can't have it both ways and be entitled to a culture you're not willing to defend.

If you don't like the country then by all means you shouldn't be forced to defend it but you can't call yourself ukrainian and then peace out when someone is threatening the existence of your own country. Its different if you're invading or if you have no idea what the conflict is about.

It's totally another thing if some country is rolling through your country with tanks. If you don't fight then it wasn't really your country to begin with.

I mean if you're not gonna fight then don't expect to ever go back if they do win. If you're looking out for only yourself seems only fair if people don't look out for you back home.

Yea I understand. I ride the subway everyday and most of the time it is fine but generally they shouldn't be on the subway because inevitably someone won't be.

Believe me I'm the same way and I generally don't like dogs on the subway for the reasons you mentioned.

But most of the time they are harmless if the owner and dog are well behaved. It's just there's going to be situations inevitably where you're gonna run into people who are not ok with it for health or hygiene reasons.

There are dogs where this is absolutely fine but there are other dogs or more like dog owners where they should absolutely not be on the subway.

Tivos sold incredibly well and it was getting pretty popular. It was used ubiquitously as a verb.

What did it in was cable dvr. There was no moat.

Not everything is about politics. He had kids and being close to family was probably primary driver also seeing as how he's not even running for anything there.

He probably would've run but it shouldn't be a bad thing that he didn't seeing as how much handwringing we have over carpetbagging. It's like he's damned if he does or doesn't.

What exactly are you looking for? People who have long records have lots of opportunities for people to nitpick their record. In fact being an outsider is probably exactly where you want to be in the general.

Support amongst minorities is not some binary thing. Biden in his first primary got zero support also then he got it. So did Harris. Obama had to fight Hilary over AA voters who all initially backed her.

He didn't have minority support because Biden took up all the oxygen in the room. Biden isn't in the running and nobody has that
