First month of AMC A-List almost done: Broke down twice, but saw 6 movies. Ocean's 8, Incredibles, Skyscraper, Sicario, Ant-Man, MI 6 -- nm - MDH Jul 26, 06:49 3
- So spent $20, earned about $60? -- nm - Qale Jul 26, 06:55 2
  - I guess so. 2 were IMAX ($18/ticket) but one was super matinee price. -- nm - MDH Jul 26, 06:58 1
    - Yeah. I just average it to about $10. That’s a good ratio. I’ve only broken even so far with Moviepass. -- nm - Qale Jul 26, 07:52

- IMO, it is all about identity politics now (which ironically the claim is what the democrats are about). It's a culture war for the Party - pmb Jul 26, 07:51

        I'll challenge this with this: Clinton couldn't manage to finish his time in office without finishing on an intern. - Max Jul 26, 07:27 8
        
        In many ways Clinton did run on policies counter to the Dem platform - tough on crime including capital punishment, balanced budgets through welfare - Roger More Jul 26, 07:39
        
        How does that compare to Trump abandoning most core Republican positions? Clinton did not do that. While his personal behavior may have been a - jnine Jul 26, 07:31 6
        
        It compares to the point that people blindly vote for the person, not the policies. heh, movie version Trump: "You and I are the same." - Max Jul 26, 07:39 2
        
        I just think this falls in the false equivalence realm. He was still largely in line with democratic values from a policy standpoint (though not - pmb Jul 26, 07:47
        
        I think the country was in line with what he was doing and agreed with most of his policies, therefore it did make sense to support him. If you look - jnine Jul 26, 07:44
        
        His welfare policies and crime bill were not in line with democratic ideas. They ended up being very bad for a lot of people that vote democrat. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 07:34 2
        
        They ended up that way, but I don't think it was so apparent to people at the time it was done. I also don't think his welfare policies were that - jnine Jul 26, 07:37 1
        
        For sure, it's not in line with what we're seeing today with the GOP. I just remember the crime bill especially was not in line with the usual - Krusty Jul 26, 07:42

        I *hate* the selfish "what's in it for me, punish my enemies" mindset. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 26, 07:36 1
        
        I agree, but then that is how I view the Republican party right now. - tRuMaN Jul 26, 07:38

        Agreed -- nm* - tRuMaN Jul 26, 07:32
        
        I agree. For the solidly Trump Rs, R stands for racism and religion. -- nm - jnine Jul 26, 07:28

        By wanting someone with experience that isn't known to be corrupt? I'd love to hear how that makes me sound like I want the perfect candidate. - Krusty Jul 26, 07:24 4
        
        Wanting a qualified candidate is wanting the perfect candidate? WTF? How? I'd love to hear an explanation. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 07:28 3
        
        This is just me stating that politicians are corrupt, period. The more experienced they are, the more corrupt they are. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 26, 07:41 2
