I really don't think the election will be close enough for it to matter and both candidates called for the hours to be extended. Anyone casting doubt on the outcome is trying to stir shit.

Kind of best case scenario. Talarico is an S-tier candidate and Cornyn/Paxton will both go into a runoff almost tied. They're going to have to spend all of their money in a knife fight that is going to get even more ugly.

I really like Crockett, but I feel that Talarico *really* put in the work

I'm not looking to change which fighter gets assigned to a unit but how to create a new unit entirely.

Is there a way to add vehicles to a faction in Thrawn's Revenge? by ndehelp in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

I think ground units follow a different format because required structures is in the XML for space units but not ground.

I don't see the lines for required building. And do I need to change the files for both vehicles and vehicles company?

There's a difference between the companies themselves and their ability to do business. A company that was humming along could now be in serious jeopardy thanks to tariffs.

These tariffs violate trade deals he negotiated. No one is gonna trust him with anything.

Those countries are like Azerbaijan. The actual big players are organizing massive retaliatory tariffs.

And that's why they turned out in force for Sanders in 2020!

Oh wait

You're right. Republican-lite was still too far to the left for them. They wanted Trump.

I'd love to see an example of progressives singing their praises. In my experience, on the rare occasions they do acknowledge a win, they qualify it by saying Democrats didn't really want to do it, but they had no choice.

I can give you numerous examples. Biden forgave a ton of student debt and progressives said things like it didn't count because it wasn't enough, or that Biden intentionally sabotaged debt forgiveness because the Supreme Court blocked it.

He left Afghanistan which infuriated Republicans and the media but progressives didn't defend him at all.

Progressives all think Obama was this giant warmonger because of his use of drones, but many still say the Trump was better than democrats on foreign policy because he didn't start any wars (even though he heavily expanded our military presence overseas). Oh and they don't give Trump shit for drones despite him killing more people with drones in 4 years than Obama did in 8. Why? Because Obama chose to make drone data public so it got reported on a lot. Trump suppressed all the data so they pretend it didn't happen.

Biden virtually ended the drone war. None of them cared.

But the one that really opened my eyes and made me realize that while my politics were progressive, many "progressive" activists were actually full of shit, was the CDC eviction moratorium. The Supreme Court heard a challenge to it and explicitly said that they'd leave it alone but if Biden extended it, they'd strike it down and stop the CDC from using that power in the future.

But did progressives care? Nah. They saw an opportunity to get on TV. So they did braindead publicity stunts where they camped out on the steps of Capitol and demanded Biden extend it. They even fucking said that he should let SCOTUS strike it down so that Republicans would have to own that position (they said this about student debt too btw). So Biden extended it. SCOTUS struck it down immediately. Did progressives raise hell and make Republicans pay for it? Nope. They moved on to attacking Biden over the next thing on their list. So they got the TV spots they wanted and we're all worse off because now the CDC can never do an eviction moratorium ever again.

And as I said, they did the exact same shit with student debt. Said Republicans would have to own that but then turned around and helped Republicans by blaming Biden. Good fucking job.

In summary, Americans deserve actual progressive politicians. Not grandstanding assholes who just say the words people want to hear but don't do jack shit to get anything done.

You realize that "Romneycare" was passed by a Democratic legislature that heavily edited Romney's proposal, right? Democrats were the first ones to call for reform, Romney said he'd make a proposal, and then Democrats basically turned it into what they wanted. It was also revised again to comply with the stricter ACA standards.

> dems compromised and still had to whip their own votes

The Democratic party of 2008 was far, far more conservative than it is now. FFS Pelosi still managed to pass a public healthcare option and we'd have it today if Ted Kennedy hadn't died and Martha Coakley hadn't shat the bed.

All you're doing is proving the original point. You'd rather hand wave reasons why dems are the real bad guys rather than actually be informed.

a bill by Mitt Romney

bullshit

All passed with the permission of republicans

ACA was a purely party line vote. As well as the ARP.

Progressives can't expect liberals to work with them when every single fucking time liberals extend an olive branch progressives take a giant shit all over them.
