Sergio Mendacious

He did pull in a lot of younger voters, which was fantastic early doors, but despite a few history-rewriting attempts I've seen since, he was absolutely dirt-awful with larger minority groups.  Was one of those situations where watching social media would lead you to believe that Bernie was just romping it, but doing that is like Peggy Noonan predicting a Romney victory based on the yard signs she saw around her neighborhood. She was giving an inappropriate weighting to the evidence of her particular milieu, just as Bernie's online army was making him seem like more of a winning prospect.

Bernie managed to pull the party much farther to the left, which is evidenced in the progressive policies coming from the less-progressive mouths of Harris, Booker, and even fucking Gillibrand. If you want to see a proper "Centrist mum," take a look at Amy Klobuchar, who is mugging herself off early sternly decrying progress. 

I've no hope that he's got a shot, and for this reason I'd like him to stay out and keep hold of his Ohio seat, but Sherrod Brown is a much better midwestern senator that may be a bit too beholden to his locals, but is a good solid working mans' dem.

Bit of a font change, and it would be a lovely romance novel

Aye, you're right, they used the system that was in place to have the more popular candidate win. Bernie was never going to win, but he brought a lot of energy and great policy to the table, and if he'd fucked off at the opportune moment, he'd have a lot more goodwill.

Weird straw man type argument, though, bearing in mind that it's not anything I've heard anyone discussing, keeping Trump in just to keep Bernie out of the running, so it would be well surprising.

I just went and had a flick through the first couple of dozen (all of which seemed to have been posted in the past three days) and could feel myself getting stupider. Think I gave up somewhere around the fourth picture of a small child with spaghetti on its head.

Ey, 'member when you were a baby, ey!!!??

Related to the smut selling, I had some success buying cartoon porn/obscure Taschen books in Soho years back, and turning them around for 1000% profit on ebay. In all probably spent about £90 and made a grand. Nice earner.

Joan Ryan has just resigned from Labour.

 

No, me neither.

You know, Joanad. The cloud botherer? the Jolly Green Jizzface? 

It's hard for me to follow the anti-semitic stuff, but in my understanding, it stems partially from some fucked up stuff individual Labour representatives at various levels have said, but also partially from that wonderful RW "anti-Israeli sentiment is anti-semitism" deal, also very popular in the USA.

EDIT — also, on a deeper and more intellectual level, what Keith said.

I'll get right on that.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that keeps up with Raw in this manner.

I haven't watched for years at this point — had a three month free trial of the network from the rumble to Mania last year, but then dropped it straight after — but I've never shaken the habit of catching up with RAW on 411mania. Might beat the habit, though, because Larry Csonka had to have his leg off, and the replacements are all unreadable, including a bloke who pretends he didn't watch matches he wasn't interested in.

I don't know how Louisiana is/was in generally viewed re: crowd responses.

The majority of the crowd are zombies or under the control of voodoo, so it's really not up to them how they react.

Because it's like going down a soul crushing rabbit hole...

Think I'm going to make my mum a litmus test on these posts, because I sent her this image, and she said "don't see a good sideboard these days" and then started texting the lyrics to the Sideboard Song.

My mum only told me yesterday that it was a shame that you didn't see anyone with the union jack up, only to make a massive u-turn when I pointed out that some people do, and those people are nob-ends.

I've never seen the show Desus and Mero, but AOC is going to the guest on the season premiere, if you can watch it in the UK.

What's with this trend of using someone's name to make your unfunny comment/meme scan better? You see it all the time in those God awful memes that twats share, all with that terrible sarcastic tone. They always end with something like "That's right Susan, I'm sure your email to Phil an Fern is gonna stop Brexit!!11 😂😂😂"  

 

Well, Algernon
