You might call it a political suicide bombing?

Can we just appreciate that Trump made it into the data.

It's not about that. It's making the statement: condem Israel and promise an arms embargo or we'll spoil the election.

That's all Kamala has to do and the Jill problem will be over.

The pen is mightier.

Exactly.

Its applying leverage to the party saying meet these criteria or get spoiled. It's basically a union for protest votes, and it's effective. Which makes it extremely important in the current two party system because it's the only way certain issues will get addressed.

It's not about getting seats at the moment. With the two party system that's not a pragmatic use of resources. Until we have ranked choice voting, they seem to believe the best use of resources is what they are doing. Give Dems an ultimatum to pull further left or get spoiled.

I get the chance to buy a bunch of awesome goods I didn't even know I wanted.

It's why there are a disproportionate number of Mormon CEOs and politicians. They train them from a young age to do missionary work.

My wife and I just have 3 very different vehicles and decide pragmatically who should take which that day if we're going out at all.

I haven't heard anything super compelling to be afraid of it. You're more willing to play with fire when your house already burned down.

Where did I try to act smart? What are you talking about?

Water is in fact use, very often. I said it's not "the best". You yourself said it's not ideal, completely agreeing with me.

Can you make clear your point other that picking fights on the Internet?
