  1. It makes sense that Reed needed a year to adjust to the NBA. One season as a 6th man at Kentucky to contributing on a NBA playoff team is a huge ask at his height/size.
  2. So far so good, but please no one give Elon credit for this heel turn and instead use it to needle the Trumpers and Elon bootlickers you know. Fuck Elon and Fuck Trump.
  3. Also it would serve the Democrats well to treat Biden's 2020 win as a complete fluke. That if a global pandemic didn't happen, Trump would have easily won again. 2020 presidential election was 100% a pyrrhic victory. Take nothing positive from it.
  4. I can always count on Brisket to be further out on the ledge, and I respect it. I might be slightly more optimistic, but the last 4 words of the above post are true and I think everyone - politicians, voters, any American - really need to come to grips with it: there is no going back. What was will never be again. This country has morphed so quickly that you can't even look to 2024 to figure out what to do next. We need an entirely new path. Past victories and strategies are meaningless.
  5. And I think Jeffries and Booker would be the two worst out of those options. Disarray, baby. Disarray.
  6. This has nothing do with Pete. The copium is coming from you, to the point where you declare that perception is reality. Maybe AOC will become the face of the party. I generally like her. IMO, no one has really taken the reins yet. Jeffries and Schumer are absolute embarrassments, so we need someone to emerge ASAP.
  7. This is misleading, if not outright false. According to your link: AOC - 26% No one - 26% Other - 22% Bernie - 12% 48%, almost half of the respondents, couldn't even come up with a name. The title of the article is "'No one' is the face of the Democrats? New poll should scare the party ahead of next elections". And you read that as AOC is the face of the party? C'mon.
  8. I don't know. Right now I'd say there is no real "face" of the party.
  9. Are you okay? Trump calls AOC the leader because of the "socialist" label attached to her. It's strictly a scare tactic. And you use polling, where in this specific case "No one" and "other" are basically in a 3 way tie with AOC as evidence? What's going on here?
  10. MJ Lebron Bird Magic Hakeem Rasheed Wilt Kareem Russell KD
  11. The first play Arch stepped on the field vs. A&M - Arch Manning TD Marcel Reed and Aggie offense for the entire game - Zero points Looch's hunger to humiliate himself everyday is unrivaled.
  12. Just watched with my boy, we are both big fans of the MI films. Generally agree that Final Reckoning is a bit disappointing.
  13. Agree with this! Those are good faith attempts to reach people on the right. All for it.
  14. But the right will always win that war. When a large group abandons good faith and takes on trolling as a literal and primary personality trait, you're never gonna defeat them with pwnage or soundbites. That game is rigged. We have to find another way.
  15. This is really cynical, and I'm here for it. This bleeds all the way to the far left. Engagement is all that matters. I think Sam Seder is a good man with a lot of good opinions, but the Majority Report makes their money by posting videos making fun of and "owning" right wing media/podcasters. In the end all this shit is completely worthless and unhelpful. Everything is broken.
  16. The primary is specifically where it would hurt him.
  17. 🤘, Scottie!
  18. Good on Dr. Mike for making this video.
  19. Here is a perfect clip to share. 90 seconds and gets to the fucking point with the title.
  20. That video needs to be seen by every American. Show it your friends and family. Democratic politicians should talk about it every day when in front of a television camera.
  21. Holy shit. What a cunt.
  22. Also want to add that I voted for Bernie in the 2016 primary. I was a Buttigieg supporter in 2020, but voted for Bernie in the primary again because Pete dropped out of the race before Texas election. I would never support Pete if I believed he was a neoliberal shill. Y'all have just completely misread him because leftist media and politicians misread him.
  23. This is leftist brain rot. Here's what you and most on the left miss about Pete. He's generally agreeable with the policy ideas that come from the left. The difference is he wants to use pragmatism instead of the antagonistic revolution to sell it to the American people. He wants to sell these policies as practical and a benefit to everyone. You should read this long Politico article about Pete as Transportation Secretary. It's not a puff piece, there is plenty of criticism as he was growing into the job those first couple of years. But he listened to the concerns from the left and antitrust advocates, and made significant changes that were celebrated even by his biggest detractors. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/11/03/pete-buttigieg-tough-on-airlines-00181436 Psst, Pete is an ally for the left. He wants to get to the same place, he just believes in a different rhetoric and strategy to get there.
  24. It would be smart for Pete to eventually do a long interview with a popular lefty podcaster like Hasan or Sam Seder. Speak to the left directly instead of letting their media people push their negative spin on his narratives and ideas.
