And yet--more people voted for her than the other guy. In any sane system that'd be a win.

I mean, I agree with this sentiment. But constantly coming back to the Democrats, when they refuse to do so much as implement DC Statehood because its just too hard!!! is fucking pathetic.

Dems don't want a sane system.

charged with 91 felonies

Okay, Hildawg. How many has he been convicted on?

Tag yourself. I'm the guy farting on the fire.

I've never lived alone and at this point I'm not sure I even could.

I've had roommates all through college and into my early career. Went from a year back home to rooming with an old high school friend. I moved in with my now-wife six months after we met, because she had started law school and couldn't afford to live alone. She was the fourth of five roommates living together before we started going our separate ways. The first was the best man at our eventual wedding.

Having roommates just feels good. I love living with other people. I love the constant opportunity to socialize. I love cooking big meals for a bunch of close friends, going to the gym together, planning vacations together, hostimg big parties with neighbors and other friends.

If you can find people you get along with, it would be crazy not to live with them.

Plenty more out of frame, but I got this shot in passing down the street. My other pictures don't look as good.

This is an unfair attack against middle class white people with long car commutes.

It's a Democrat tradition at this point

We're sorry you feel bad (addendum: but go fuck yourself)

I reject the notion that "desperate" people will choose to sell their kidneys.

As evidenced above, they could just as easily have them stolen.

I want to see everyone who needs a kidney get one

Then reducing kidney failure is a critical first step. Improving the quality and accessibility of dialysis and comparable treatments would be a big second. Developing prosthetics would be up there, too. And figuring out how to economically incentivize carving organs out of desperate people would be way down the line.

Just because some people have harvested organs in inhumane ways does not mean there is no ethical way to encourage people to donate kidneys.

Listen, I'm not saying the fox who guarded the hen house didn't eat a few hens. I'm saying that this new fox (who looks shockingly similar to the old fox) can be trained to guard the hen house under a strict and reliable ethics code.

I could probably point to barbaric instances of praxis for any philosophy.

Damn. Almost like the entire privatized health care system is plagued with moral hazard. But since there's nothing to be done, might as well turn a blind eye to yet another form of atrocity.

Why would somebody who wants to purchase a kidney want to donate a kidney in the first place?

It's almost as though the end goal of a legal kidney market isn't to facilitate simple familial donations at all.
