yeah she also stole that bit from someone else which makes it more annoying

yeah i'm pretty sure he meant "people are on their dang phones too much" when he was talking about the national health epidemic

it's funny because it worked with the base, the problem was it was the base of the democrats instead lol

liberals. they love that man more than their own children.

letting right wingers in allows the DNC to go "look, we accept criticism from the other side" because they recognize that Democrats already disagree with everything they're gonna say about the speeches whereas someone like Liz, Brace or Hasan might make certain criticisms of the party that they don't want getting out because some liberals/progressives and independents may take them seriously. They also want right wing attacks against them bc that's the way they're moving anyway so it's a form of confirmation bias.

The Democrats absolutely do not want any leftist criticisms of their party being platformed at the DNC, even on an independent stream.

The most annoying bathroom graffiti I've ever seen was about this

she is trans, she's been doing the whole "i'm the reasonable trans person and i hate most trans people too" thing

It's kinda fucked in a way, leftists and centrist conservatives have almost no representation in government unless you consider most Democrats to be centrist conservatives but they why don't principled conservatives vote for them?

They do, it's just that our entire political system has been running to the right for so long that "principled conservatives" are a small minority of the broader right wing movement now. Think about how Nikki Haley bombed in the primary this year, she would have done way better against Trump if this type of conservative made up a bigger chunk of the modern Republican base.

Had a friend who worked backstage who told me they had a massive clock and whenever they ran off stage they would look at the clock to see how much of the show they had left (and also where in the show they were of course).

sorry to defend the lib but did the venue happen to have a curfew? I have had to do this before because I didn't want to get my band's set shut off mid song. some places are ridiculously strict about this (even giant places like Madison Square Garden can do this.)

sure, but this is how rich people are.

a lot more than half of the world tbh
