  • The DNC didn’t give us that. The people did.

    Where did I say anything about the DNC?

    Winkly’s claim was that Sanders was the people’s choice. The votes show that Clinton was actually the people’s choice, by a wide margin.

    Which “the people” are you talking about? Sanders had much more support with “the people” (i.e. voters in general), but was unable to get that support from “the people” in the core of the Democratic Party (i.e. the folks who actually decide who the nominee is going to be).

    Never let the Democrats argue that they vote based upon pragmatism when shit like this happens. The pragmatic choice would’ve been Sanders.


  • The people voted for Clinton over Sanders by a double digit percentage margin. It wasn’t even close.

    Okay, so they gave us Clinton by a double-digit percentage margin. That makes it worse, not better.

    Biden won the 2024 primary by a more than 80 percent margin.

    That’s because he ran virtually unopposed. For example, my primary ballot only had two options: “Biden” and “uncommitted”.

    Can you imagine running in a race by yourself and still only getting 80%?





  • My first exposure to Joe Rogan was when he was on Penn Radio debating an astronomer (Phil Plait). The subject of the debate: Rogan believes that the moon landing was a hoax. He was very polite, and Penn couldn’t quit saying what a nice guy he was, but he did that annoying shit that conspiracy assholes often do where they pretend that they’re “just asking questions”.

    This was 20 years ago. So, maybe his show wasn’t always like that, but for Rogan himself this is nothing new.
