        I didn't mean to get you upset bc I don't mean to judge. But watch the debate. He has no points and sense and I made an observation. - MDH Dec 19, 19:46 2
        
        I'm not upset. Not in the slightest. I don't have much of a stake in the election season at this point. - ReluctantCynic Dec 19, 19:51 1
        
        the right has shown not a shred of respect for obama, period, and total distain for the lives of average americans, as for the election, only.... - General Zeit Dec 19, 20:06

        Let's try this out. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Dec 19, 19:28 [Backboard] 10
        
        yeah, that doesn't really work with Trump... - znufrii Dec 19, 19:38
        
        eh. - Reagen Dec 19, 19:35 8
        
        Taking the easiest - and most vilifying - guess as towards the motives of a big block of people goes to what RC was saying above. -- (edited) - Name Withheld By Request Dec 19, 19:43 7
        
        and FTR there are assuredly some number of Liberal and NDP voters who are bigots. -- nm - Reagen Dec 19, 20:03 5
        
        One in three Canadians. Look to your peer group and start guessing which third. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 19, 20:14 4
        
        I agree it's troubling and to some extent non-partisan. -- (edited) - Reagen Dec 19, 20:21 3
        
        I'm not arguing they are correct. I'm saying figuring out what is motivating them is important. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 19, 20:36 2
        
        I don't think it's all that subtle - Reagen Dec 19, 20:49
        
        understanding their motivations is one thing... -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 19, 20:44
        
        if that was the only thing wrong with Trump's platform, we could start talking about that. -- nm - Reagen Dec 19, 19:50
      - there is about || this much difference between Hillary and Bernie on the substance of most issues at this point -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 19, 19:08
Hi quality football at JerryWorld -- nm - Kylo Bud Dec 19, 18:41
So the next series I decided to binge is "Leverage". Liked the 1st ep. but wondering if it could get stale -- nm - amoxy Dec 19, 18:33 10
- If you took leverage, burn notice, and psych, and just cycled eps instead of binging, they'd never get old. - Beryllium Dec 19, 22:24
- What is Burn Notice? -- nm - Qale Dec 19, 19:31 1
  - I watched 4-5 seasons before getting burnt out...Burn Notice is a lot more violent than "Leverage" -- nm - amoxy Dec 19, 20:06
- 1st couple of seasons are solid - they quit making the series when they should have -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 19, 19:00
- Much like Psych, it does but it gets a lot of mileage out of the concept -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 19, 18:57

        I can't believe this incredibly complex and convoluted plan spanning years, millions of people and thousands of star systems actually worked. -- nm - Palpatine Dec 19, 19:01
