The real reason we are doomed to more Trump is because people are calling Nate Silver "entitled" on Twitter for saying the window passenger controls - JackDawson Sep 18, 08:50 4

ST poll: your latest favorite song? how long are you smitten with a song normally? - Pippy - Lime in the Cocoanut Connoisseur Sep 18, 08:26 32
- Since you didn't specify 'recent release' mine is Chances Are by Johnny Mathis. I just love the arrangement and the tinkling piano. - Harry Tuttle Sep 18, 10:12
- Heart of Stone, by Crash Test Dummies -- nm - psilotum Sep 18, 09:49

  - I take it that this is the result of someone asking you to manually select your top 10 -- nm - zork Sep 18, 09:36 4
    - I'm very much NOT a fan of ranking favorites and best. "Best TV shows of the 90s", "Best songs of the 80s", "Best Movie of 2019". It's so arbitrary. -- nm - Mop Sep 18, 09:37 3
      - BTW ... - zork Sep 18, 09:42 2
        
        Hey man! S'up! Doing OK? -- nm - Mop Sep 18, 09:45 1

      - As I said, I am falling pretty hard for them. - Spawn Sep 18, 08:53
    - As I said, new to me. - Spawn Sep 18, 08:44

- some Taylor Swift song, that's all I'll say... -- nm - colin Sep 18, 08:33
- 7empest (Tool) -- nm - mud Sep 18, 08:32

hilarious: An op-ed piece about "Regulation Ragers" -- nm - JackDawson Sep 18, 08:17
Is Joe Biden the wrong kind of centrist? -- (link) - Super Daddy Princess Sep 18, 08:14 26
- No. The Democratic fringes are fundamentally incoherent and are likely to cost the party seats. - Will Hunting Sep 18, 08:25 2
  - I don't think I agree here. I think the idea that we're a center-right nation was more an artifact of political party identification than issue based - pmb Sep 18, 09:23
  - Persistent polling about a variety of issues paints a much more mixed picture than a "center right" nation - JackDawson Sep 18, 08:28
- Very good read and ideas -- nm - JackDawson Sep 18, 08:23
- I believe Jovian said it best on B2 -- (link) - Beaker Sep 18, 08:15 [Backboard] 21
  - Because 22% would be disappointed with him as the nominee, that makes them dumb as rocks? Explain -- nm - JackDawson Sep 18, 08:16 20
    - Explain? 22% of people who responded to this poll believe the person with best chance of dethroning DJT -- (edited) - Jovian Sep 18, 08:22 15
      - I’d still be disappointed that that’s the best we can do as a party and country. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Sep 18, 08:36
      - I'm still confused on the whole "has a best chance to dethrone Trump" thing. Says who? nm - Chamberlain Sep 18, 08:31 3
        
        Why, polls, of course? Have you not heard, they stopped statistically measuring populations and now predict the future, too! -- nm - JackDawson Sep 18, 08:35 2
        
        I just know that the most unqualified candidate in the history of modern America bested a very very qualified one. - Jovian Sep 18, 08:40 1
        
        You're grossly over-simplifying things, IMO. And if that is the real basis for your 'dumb as rocks' view, well... -- nm - JackDawson Sep 18, 08:48
      - Spoilers: Having a (D) in the White House will not restore Democracy to this country. -- nm - JackDawson Sep 18, 08:26 9
        
        Frankly, I think even the idea of “restoring” something misses the mark. - Super Daddy Princess Sep 18, 08:50 1
        
        Even Trump's "restore" America campaign was packaged as something "new" -- nm - JackDawson Sep 18, 08:53
        
        having anyone besides a (T) in the White House is a very good start. - Jovian Sep 18, 08:27 6
        
        Of course, the necessary and critical first step. But perhaps you are not considering than in answer that I would be disappointed if Biden were the no - JackDawson Sep 18, 08:30 4
        
        Exactly. I'll vote for Biden...but I won't be happy about it and I'll weep a little inside as I do it. nm -- nm - Chamberlain Sep 18, 08:34 3
        
        I voted for the PT candidate last year. Nothing is worse, except for the things that actually are, like Bozo. Y'all will survive the experience. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 18, 08:41
        
        Right, exactly how I felt for voting for HRC. -- nm - Jovian Sep 18, 08:39 1
        
        Yeah you guys need to get your shit tight and realize the big picture here. We did the same thing in 2015. - Shaun Sep 18, 08:43
        
        *ding* -- nm - mud Sep 18, 08:28
    - If Biden is literally the only one who can defeat Trump, you may as well give up now - Reagen Sep 18, 08:21 3
      - yep, yep. I know it’s a stretch with the timing; but there’s still hope for more than the current top few, too. for my fave, ~30% of voters still - i.b.! Sep 18, 09:02 1
        
        Wow. Cool. Yeah I think declaring people like Harris or him dead before a vote is cast may be short sighted -- nm - JackDawson Sep 18, 09:10

  - so he has a chance -- nm - decline Sep 18, 08:18
- As znufrii said on B2: it was lower black turnout not % that screwed HRC in those three states (among the amalgam of all the other 5000 factors that - JackDawson Sep 18, 08:16 1
  - Understood. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 18, 08:16
Relax everyone! We have a new NSA! - Jovian Sep 18, 08:13 1
- POLITICO: In 2015, O'Brien wrote .. Trump "has been playing up how chummy he will be with Vladimir Putin if he is elected." -- (link) - mud Sep 18, 08:25
Primaries haven't been run, but Kris Kobach would lose the KS Senate race by 10 points, currently. -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 08:13 1

Biggios now 2nd father-son duo to hit for cycles - Beaker Sep 18, 08:08 5

  - I was at the game when Frye hit the Jays' 2nd ever cycle. Kelly Gruber was there too, so it was cool. -- nm - Shaun Sep 18, 08:44
