2020 Democratic presidential primary

or maybe that's biden

Buttigieg is way better than Yang it seems

speaking as a circumsized jew (tmi? sorry.) -- there's no real justification for circumcision and we should probably be thinking of it in the same category as female genital mutilation, at least in terms of unwarranted, dangerous, painful things done to children in the name of religion.

^right

there is evidence that circumcision is associated with protection against STIs and lower incidence of urinary tract infections and penile cancer; the latter two are relatively uncommon in males to begin with, but I’ve taken care of enough uroseptic uncircumcised infants to make me wonder what the harm is. in fact evidence of harm is pretty much nonexistent

there is evidence that circumcision is associated with protection against STIs and lower incidence of urinary tract infections and penile cancer;

i thought the research (in total) suggested that there were virtually no health advantages to circumcision.

sorry, didn't mean to suggest that circumcision was equivalent to FGM in terms of its long-term harm for those affected-- just meant that they both seem like needless forms of child mutilation. maybe i'm just overreacting as someone who has little use for the religion i was brought up in.

the evidence in total supports what I stated. here is a (long) review, which I think is free:

JUST IN: Elizabeth Warren calls for abolishing Electoral College: "Every vote matters" https://t.co/KRGbib72nu pic.twitter.com/4TzL5Afwga

What astounded me is that the "Morning Joe" crew agreed

"if the Republican had lost the popular vote twice in sixteen years, we would've had a constitutional convention by now."

Also called yesterday for a "full-blown conversation" about reparations.

Warren’s campaign strategy of proposing major policy initiatives that will be popular with the electorate seems sadly likely to be ineffective.

it does put folks like Beto in the position of being asked if they support these initiatives

Elizabeth Warren is very good at keeping focused minus the family heritage blip.

to hear Shithead say "Pocahontas" for 9 months...

bleh, I am sure she has been called worse her entire life.

can use "Beth" by KISS as campaign theme song

no matter what he's going to say something horrible for nine months xp

Racist man saying racist thing is no one else's responsibility.

I hope I can get pregnant and get this fetus aborted before this 9 month cut off.

i'm pretty sure i'm going to be voting for warren

yeah same

😬

lol Sirota

Pocahontas blip seems overplayed in retrospect, and Warren has been good other than that

And I'm just happy to have someone in the race that goes by their last name in amongst all these first name people,. The fact she has a first name as a last name shows some ingenuity as well, in being able to appeal to different crowds

what

Imagine if Warren Christopher had run!

wait, why does sirota suck? don't know much about him.

xp I could have used this over and over

idk why I should care about campaign staff unless they've done like hate crimes or something, AFAICT they just kinda pulled a bunch of ppl from the lefty journosphere

Sirota wrote a column about Hugo Chavez' economic miracle. So that should keep the right occupied for awhile.

How long ago?

2013

Meh. Kinda

Is this what would be needed to abolish the EC (2/3 of both houses + 38 State legislatures)?: https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/constitution

here is another way to effectively abolish the EC without amending the constitution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact

it has already been passed in 12 states, totaling 172 electoral votes. it would take effect when enough states have passed it to exceed 270 electoral votes. i wish it was a litmus test for every governor's race

I mainly know Sirota from twitter, but he's a purist butthole who loves to play gotcha with completely reasonable people.

xp Karl otm, I think that's a more effective path

"One time, according to a friend, Beto collected an especially verdant turd from one of their kids’ diapers and put it in a bowl, telling Amy it was avocado." https://t.co/qNqipzIaSh

if Trump was actually good at nicknames he'd start calling Beto "the verdant turd"

v uncool to share this at lunchtime

gonna pass on the guac now thanks

I have yet to read a profile of Beto where he doesn't come off as still adjusting to being a full grown boy.
