My right to marry my partner was won by democrats. Anyone calling that a breadcrumb can go fuck themselves right into the sun. The party does a hell of a lot more than the left wants to give them credit for. Not even arguing the pic above is not lacking nuance or that democrats are perfect, but they've won me a hell of a lot more than you leftist armchair politicians who have never given me a single thing but promises you never fulfill.

Why would they care? They're proud of it. Their voters are proud of it.

Here's a quote from the same man:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

We have like 5+ governors (Newsom, Whitmer, Pritzker, Shapiro, and Bashear off the top of my head) who would all be fantastic candidates. It's not a lack of good alternatives. It's incumbent advantage and the lack of remaining time in this race. Not an easy decision to make any which way you cut it, even if I'm sure we all have a way we would like it to go.

Last year, I did another trilogy playthrough as FemShep while I also happened to be playing Guild Wars 2 as a Sylvari woman. My double take when I realized was pretty funny. Jennifer Hale is supremely talented and she lends an air of gravitas without getting into comical over-acting. She just has a perfect voice for a badass!

What? I don't agree with AIPAC on a lot of things, but they're not the reason we don't have viability for an amendment to the constitution.

You're a lot more optimistic than I am. Look at the voting patterns of the right wing of our congress. I don't see any small gov advocates there who pay anything but lip service to the concept. They'll fall over themselves to not only protect Trump, but to be the loudest and most supportive of him.

Never gonna get an amendment in this country without a mass change in voting patterns. We would have to own congress for that.

You should probably look into Jill Stein before saying this. She would be above Trump but I'd take a lot of mainstream Dems over someone who seems compromised by other nations and regularly spouts conspiracy-level insanity. That fits both Trump and Stein.

I love this response though. Direct and to the point.

This is the second time I've seen right wing talking points associated with this game and it's so pathetic to try and use that to cover over your middling review scores. I mean, you run a business. If you're not going to self-reflect on why your product didn't do as well as you thought, not sure you're being honest with yourself on why your product failed. That same thinking would have been present in the design and development process, preventing their product from ever getting any better. One of those reasons companies even pay lip service to DEI: it genuinely brings fresh perspectives and refines your art and product.

Anyway, I even liked this game. It's honestly pretty fun and the zombie hordes are relatively unique for the genre. The main character isn't some right-wing asshole and even comes off as pretty empathetic and kind, if I remember correctly. It just came out at a time of open world oversaturation and played into almost every trope of the time. I think if it came out today, (and they managed to not show their ass online) it would do a lot better. As usual, the right-wing malding is weird on top of being gross and unnecessary.

It's newsweek so probably not, unfortunately. They reference a single Unilever focus group of Hispanic/Latino undecideds. Not sure that's enough to justify this title at all.
