The fuck are you talking about

Here's another clip of him from later

Here's from 4 years ago, during a time of relative peace

Here's him from 1988 advocating for conditioning military aid (to Arab countries as well as to Israel) on a commitment to the peace process

Yes, I understand the gist of the victory fund thing.

My question was, why is that worse than what Trump is doing? Even if we posit without evidence that Biden is guaranteed to do exactly the same thing with it that Hillary did.

Let me see if I follow all of this

• Trump wants to take rents from downballot candidates and give them nothing
• That's better than what Hillary did (which I honestly don't know the details of)
• And Biden is still doing the same worse-than-this-Trump-thing thing
• Because he's raising money and not giving enough of it to downballot candidates

I'm actually fully in agreement with you about the poisonous influence of legalized big money in politics and the overall incompetence of the DNC and Hillary Clinton specifically, but I'm not seeing how having most of the "Biden Victory Fund" go to Biden, is worse than extracting money directly from your downballot candidates

We used to have a little cat who would lie on his back on the kitchen floor with his legs splayed open, putting his dick on display for everyone.

When he got old enough and we neutered him, he kept doing the exact same thing, except with his back legs together, all the way over to one side.

Ngl it made me feel a little bad

There is actually a right way to do this -- Ralph Nader talked about it in his article in Mother Jones. Basically, you decide on something you tactically can achieve, get a coalition together, communicate to the candidate that you're asking them to do X, Y and Z in order to earn your vote, and then follow through. That effectively puts pressure on the Democrats to start to pursue decent things instead of the grim neoliberal crap they tend to like to do when they're left to their own devices.

Just deciding you're going to make a private decision to protect the Palestinians by refusing to vote for Biden, when Trump is 100 times worse on the Palestinians as well as many many other people, doesn't make any goddamned sense. You're wrong two times over -- one for failing to be vocal enough about your priorities to make a difference, and then again by failing to support the obviously better choice (in cases like this where the worse choice is absolutely catastrophically bad, for the Palestinians as well as for many other people.)

The vote for aid to Israel is coming up this week, separated out from the Ukraine aid, and a lot of Democrats seem like they're waking up to the idea that supporting Israel is a monstrous crime. Infinitely more productive than voting third party would be to call your congresspeople and tell their staff how you feel about it, right now of all times.

Get outta here with your actual domain knowledge

It wasn't congress, DoJ is executive branch

Oh look, it's the American government doing what the American government does

Not moving the knife lengthwise, just jiggling it around or rotating it, is the tell that it's fake. But yes it's incredibly convincing.

Why the fuck hasn't anybody done this yet, at any point in the last 10-20 years?

Ticketmaster is the absolute textbook definition of an abusive monopoly in every way. They make it impossible to use anyone else, on either the fan or musician side, so that they can charge way way more than how much would be competitive. Hopefully the lawsuit takes 5 minutes "Your honor I move that they clearly have a monopoly and be sentenced to death" "Granted, fuck 'em, so ordered."

For stoplights, the stop line being comically far back is often so buses and trucks have room to make a big turn without colliding with your vehicle. If you're at an intersection where the stop line is in an absurd place, it's usually better to stop there rather than stopping wherever and running the risk of finding out why it is that you were supposed to stop way back.

For stop signs, I have no idea. Maybe it means the traffic engineer was drunk that day or something; IDK.
