Are you telling me that all the Plutonium-235 that I need could be found in the Walmart grocery section?

good meme, but the hat should be blue

I would say the most leftest right, just because of noting what the adjective and noun are.

The Great Man just decided it should collapse.

So, she was stupid and naive enough to embrace the most destructive and losing campaign she could have possibly chosen and give up everything that was working? Weird how it is a constant refrain that tacking towards the right is the winning move that all campaign advisors point out, and even though it always loses, Obama was the only Democrat after Bill Clinton to not follow this advice, it is not a damning condemnation that a Dem candidate always listen to this advice, despite its obvious failures. Litterally, Biden could not have won on this playbook (only Democrat since Clinton to win with this) if the combination of COVID and BLM made Trump seem obviously failing, through no virtue of Biden.

No, we should glorify and defend Harris for selling out to the most loosing and useless tactics possible, because being polite and positive is more important that defeating, in her words!, fascism.

I wasn’t blaming Walz as much as saying that putting Walz on the ticket was, in their eyes, enough of a sop to progressives and midwesterners, that they should be able to give nothing else to those constituencies.

Democrat’s use of the vice president to “balance the ticket” is what got us here. Everyone forgets that the entire reason that Biden was Obama’s VP was that there was trepidation at having a black candidate, so to balance the ticket, they looked for the most racist white guy still in the Democratic party, which was Biden. Biden’s staffers were pulling their hair out and complaining in the 2020 primary, saying things like “please, use any other examples of reaching across the aisle to work with Republicans, other than how much you loved Strom Thurmand and worked with him to stop desegregation”. The calculus with Walz was that you get a “bumbling Midwest guy” on the ticket and they can continue to take progressive voters for granted and possibly appeal to purple states, since several of them were Midwestern.

I haven’t kept up with all the changes in core developers the last few years, but isn’t Arch mostly American?
