  • You downvote me for agreeing that Schumer needed to be primaried but noting the nuance of the infighting that would happen from it? You even responded so it added to the conversation. Sorry just seems odd use of that.

    I think the people would agree and he would win the appearance game but I think the party would close ranks hard on anyone saying anything against Schumer and he would be ousted completely and smeared.

    I agree he didn’t have a second punch ready I just think no second punch would be big enough yet. Wish it was more of a fight but the DNC operates as unit when it’s their own money and appearance on the line.



  • I guess my question is, whether you can say Chuck Schumer needs to be primaried within a party who elected him as minority leader?

    There is of course actually better options as well but they too have friends and calling out names with their resources and lack of conviction of other party members it paints a target on you.
    Blue conservatives have their own friends and he did not. I’d probably stumble my way through as well trying to find a path forward. I think the problem is there is none while the culture is so against even treating it like a proper job instead of a club.

    He wasn’t prepared but I think the end result would likely be the same.


  • Full quote

    “I’ll be very honest with you, for the first time in my 100 days on this job … the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don’t know if I wanna do this anymore,” he said in a May 15 Zoom meeting of DNC officers.
    “No one knows who the hell I am, right? I’m trying to get my sea legs underneath of me and actually develop any amount of credibility so I can go out there and raise the money and do the job I need to to put ourselves in a position to win,” Martin said, addressing Hogg. “And again, I don’t think you intended this, but you essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to. So it’s really frustrating.”

    It really is frustrating that he thinks the only way to position to win is cash in the bank and no question of the effectiveness of members of the party. Especially when we have such a limited number of positions we can fill.

    I think he just liked having an easy answer to why it’s not going well in the existence of David Hogg.





  • Cause you could have said you looked up the episode and found nothing. The mention of ChatGPT basically functions as an ad for it and also points out how garbage it is while avoiding the conversation you could have with the real people here that would be happy for it. This kinda the point of a forum board with a comment section.

    We aren’t hung up on it. Just pointing out its stupidity in being brought up and that we don’t care about your previous unrelated and unhelpful chat bot experience.

    Anyways. No. Not real, it’s a joke. Insert funny human response here.


  • Hey, fuck them.
    Don’t let others ideas of who is part of their in group and who can be excluded get to your empathy. I am glad you have it even if you don’t see it from anyone else today ( and hopefully I am wrong and you see lots). For every person you give comfort to today for being a good person in a bad place I thank you on their behalf even if they don’t.









  • People seem to forget that and think they own the limit in what is related conversation. I could talk about how I knew a group of people that looked exactly like these neckbeards and talk about their hygeine. Somehow acceptable but other works from the artist and a mention of their use of absurdist tone?

    It feels it’s not about conversation here often, but an actual competition to be the most analytical and factual.
    I’d rather comments be part of the open conversation.
