  1. Girma held the ball way too long there, letting Japan regroup and settle into their shape. She should have passed out to Fox immediately to put pressure on the Japanese defense.
  2. Horan literally just touched the ball straight to a Japanese player. For fucks sake.
  3. Well, we woke up for that last 90 seconds or so.
  4. Horan had the perfect opportunity to pass into a streaking attack and instead turned back to the center. wtf?
  5. Albert’s touch today is as delicate as her social media posting. Has this ref called a single foul on Japan?
  6. Regardless if the cause is a lack of knowledge or a lack of energy, our attackers need to start moving off the ball ASAP.
  7. No foul?!? That should have been a fucking yellow.
  8. A bright spot: Dunn has markedly improved her 1-on-1 defending. She looks like a different player.
  9. Rodman is having a bad game. She’s otherwise been great in the Olympics.
  10. Her touches and technique have just looked goofy as hell this tournament. She’s made lot of bouncing, slow passes, in addition to the turnovers.
  11. Rose looking for passes and her forwards are just slowly backing into defenders like Shaq in the low post. Sigh.
  12. Every play should run through Lavelle. She’s the only one on this team who can open up the attack with brilliant, quick passes
  13. Horan has been a turnover machine in the games I’ve watched. We’re too static overall. Need to start making runs and passing with anticipation. It looks like we’re terrified of losing possession.
  14. Same here. The unity and surge of enthusiasm took me by surprise. The Republicans tried the attack I expected (namely, that the party tossed the primary votes and selected Harris in a rigged back room deal) but, unlike Bernie Bros in 2016, it isn’t sticking. Which is fucking great.
  15. So… wining and dining and dancing is disqualifying?
  16. Relax. You’re the one who introduced your personal political history to justify your estimation of Clinton’s politics. I was just responding to that. You’re a smart dude. If you haven’t done so, read up on Clinton’s record and reconsider whatever views you developed decades ago about his place on the political spectrum. There was a time when I thought he was a liberal hippy, too.
  17. He’s right and the rightward shift of the Clinton-era Dems is a big reason why the working class was just waiting for an asshole like Trump to come along and promise them a return to the glory days.
  18. If you’re going to misrepresent which part of my post you quoted, maybe do it in a way that makes your point stronger instead of just even more nonsensical.
  19. Ah, okay. This is starting to make sense. You were awash in Republican propaganda while Clinton was in office, and the memory of GOP vitriol at the time is clouding your hindsight judgment. The Republicans hated Clinton for reasons, even though Clinton passed numerous regressive pieces of legislation. Politics is weird that way. Opinions are often irrational and counterproductive.
  20. Fair enough. But also legit for American progressives to recoil at an authoritarian governor shutting down protests. But I guess it will be the far left’s fault for not supporting the Democratic establishment’s preferred authoritarian asshole. Or something.
  21. Here’s a different perspective: fuck the people who demand left wing votes while supporting right wing / inhumane shit.
  22. I didn’t say he was Reagan. I said one rightwing pundit compared him favorably to Reagan. My point is Clinton was right of center. He signed a lot of ridiculously regressive shit that caused a lot of harm to minorities and the working class. He had some progressive views, certainly. But he was right of center on balance.
  23. Yes. That sarcastic comment was the main point of my post. Good job, G650’s brain.
  24. They don’t get a free pass. But principled left wing voters who can’t bring themselves to vote for a dude who apparently is cool with genocide (if, for example, Shapiro gets the nod) would bear far less blame for a hypothetical Trump win than the actual fascists who vote for Trump.
