2020 Democratic presidential primary

are those ppl riding hard for 'Bernie or Die'?

that Lazare piece is a solid overview of policy positions, I don't really see anything up its own ass about it

the facts reported are 100% accurate and the rhetoric is 100% Jacobin. nothing wrong with in context tbh, just didn't want to leave the provocation unacknowledged since morbs wanted a morning thumbwrestle and shakey was unavailable.

warren is such a mom. that's a compliment btw.

I'm glad that Warren hasn't felt compelled to put motherhood too front and center in her campaign, except when it was relevant to the topic at hand, like paid family leave. For a long time I didn't even think she had any children.

one of her kids is a pharma exec no? i like warren, but maybe that's why she doesn't bring up her children often.

i think she doesn't bring up being a mom that often because, while it's a compliment from my perspective, a plurality of americans seem to hate "moms"

they also hate women without children

they also hate women

one of her kids is a pharma exec no?

she had a pharma start-up back in the 90s. Now runs some kind of business staffing agency.

ah. too much twitter not enough news for me, sometimes.

a plurality of americans seem to hate "moms"

tbf if you are a human who has chosen to breed at any time after 1980 then you are probably a sociopath

Warren gets away clean though

fp’d you for racism

it's a fair cop

A whole species of primates aged 36 and up, all of us aging badly into the future. In 2070 the last 90-year-old woman dies while getting her chin wiped off by the last 89-year-old woman. She dies a year or so later in a pile of feces and expired tuna cans.

Thanks for that vision sic

surely we'd all commit ritual suicide at 65ish

I wouldn't call breeders sociopaths though, merely deliriously optimistic and inexplicably selfish

I wouldn’t call sterilers sociopaths though, merely deliriously pessimistic and inexplicably selfish

Cheering in the Quiet Car would be a good name for a book about east coast liberals or something

Trump coming to SF tomorrow w Carson, presumably to spit on homeless people

Be sure to wear some flowers in what is clearly not your hair

don't act like you're the one generally called upon to defend yourself

ilxors failing to understand reproduction on an existential level continues to be one of ilx's best running gags

Yeah all the persecution for not having kids must be rough, but your consolation is not having to be responsible for another human life. Can we go back to talking about the primary?

I mean it's a gag but also I don't understand it

it's only my second week at this job I don't have a ton of tasks yet

it's all about the birds and the bees

Bees over babies

Which candidates are in favor of making reproduction a function of the state is my question, I’m voting for them

lxors failing to understand reproduction on an existential level

These arguments don't do much to counter sic's sociopath accusation.

Apparently WFP gave the leadership more of a say in the endorsement this time

What kind of irresponsible, deranged animals refuse to turn around 200,000 years of evolutionary impulse on a dime?

“Which candidates are in favor of making reproduction a function of the state is my question, I’m voting for them”

Republicans

200,000 only??

when we really ripened up

What kind of irresponsible, deranged animals refuse to turn around 200,000 years of evolutionary impulse on a dime?

there were only 200 years of industrial damage to the biosphere at that point and ppl refused to turn that around either

Horny sapiens

Allow me to apologize for having a sub-replacement number of offspring

WFP isn't really a party

having a child in my house wdnt be a party either

you should have it in the hospital, where it's sterile

How's the baby one day gonna have babies if it's sterile?

so it's come to megadeth lyrics now i see

hey if everyone in the world stopped having kids in 1980 think of all the soundcloud rap we'd have missed out on

harris losing to yang in her home state. time to go.

time to go.

um. it's September 2019. she should continue until some actual votes get cast or else she runs out of money or the will to continue. it's not like she's doing anyone any harm by staying in.

tbh the more candidates who drop out of the race the better

it's not like she's doing anyone any harm by staying in.

I think she should stay in, but running for president does seem to require a certain amount of time and energy (and fundraising), and she does currently hold a pretty important job.

she does currently hold a pretty important job.

not if Mitch McConnell has any say in it

i don't actually think she'll drop out. it would be unusual. and i guess i'd rather she picks up the nom than buttigieg if biden completely loses control of his dentures *and* the DNC somehow makes it impossible for one the two (2) good candidates to win.

Because horserace.
