Simple terms... like "SJW"?

To clarify, that case was thrown out becuase plaintiffs lacked standing.

To further clarify, the court threw out 2 of the claims due to lack of standing. The other 4 claims were dismissed on the merits.

The court held that the plaintiffs' claims of fraud, negligent misrepresentation, consumer law violations, and unjust enrichment failed on the merits and directed those claims to be dismissed with prejudice. The court held that plaintiffs' claims of negligence and breach of fiduciary duty failed for lack of standing,

They may be referring to the Wilding v. DNC Services Corp case. DNC lawyers argued that they could overturn the democratic results of the primary if they so choose.

The DNC won that case.

I guess "vote blue no matter who" only applies when you're punching left...

Sending the party-approved talking points directly to their bluemaga followers is a pretty good tactic, ngl

In an ideal world, Hitchen's Razor would be applied whenever a politician speaks and whenever an advertisement plays.

Unfortunately for us, human psychology makes us all vulnerable.

Riots in the streets now is preferable to the current path where our great grandchildren all die from heat stroke.

But I agree with your point, the political calculus doesn't make sense. If politicians are afraid of riots in the streets then we need to give them something worse to fear.

Ecoterrorism or extinction seem to be the only options available.

The problem is that the Trump and Biden camps set the rules at this debate.

The moderators were not allowed to live fact check, nor could they cut the candidate's mic during their allotted time.

This means that the responsibility of countering Trump's lies fell completely on Biden. There are so many lies, it would be a difficult task for any person.

But Biden signed up for this, and he failed spectacularly. None of Trump's bullshit was effectively countered.

I think its only a RBG situation if Biden dies soon.

It's more of a Diane Feinstein situation, where everyone can see the dementia progressing, but everyone around them has a vested interest in keeping the status quo.

As a former call center employee, I have seen so many bright eyed young people get destroyed by the job.

Those who make it a year are all depressed, no exceptions. Many fall into serious drug addiction.

After 5 years, there will be suicides.

If you are considering a call center job, I urge you to do something safer instead, like heroin or free solo climbing.

We desperately need a strong call center employees union.

Literal genocide denial.

May these 269 monsters get the fate they deserve.

Yes change the system first, and lifestyle change will follow.

For example if we do something relatively small like ending beef subsidies here in the US, then ground beef will double or triple in price, and people will naturally consume much less.

This would be much more effective than any campaign trying to convince people to eat less meat.
