| Xeybozn 06/25/22 7:17:33 PM #3 | Nah, that makes way too much sense. I say we fix America by creating a bunch of new blue states so the Democrats can actually wield power in the Senate. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

| Xeybozn 06/24/22 2:36:53 PM #423 | I could see Republicans choosing to eliminate the filibuster if they control the government after 2024. We're getting more and more of them who want things other than tax cuts these days, and it's not like the Democrats are going to in position to retake the Senate for at least the next decade. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

| Topic | Do you live in a state that would ban abortion? |
| Xeybozn 06/24/22 12:44:22 PM #7 | Virginia currently allows abortion, but I'd say it's at least a 50% chance the GOP takes control of the state legislature after the 2023 elections. And our governor has been fairly open about wanting to ban it, so it's not looking great long term. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

And we once again circle back to the fact that living within your means is entirely possible with a minimum wage job (again outside of the outlier areas like San Francisco with out of control COL).https://livingwage.mit.edu/ Could you show me a place where the calculated living wage here isn't more the minimum wage?

I don't disagree with the larger argument, but a few weeks ago I was playing around with MIT's Living Wage list and came up with about $18.10/hr as the number for a single person. Either way, BT should probably shut up about minimum wage being enough to live off of unless he has a better argument than "of course it's enough, it's minimum wage". --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

Can't be disappointed by the anime not getting to the actual romance part when that's clearly never going to happen in the first place! (Actual thoughts: Bloom Into You and Sweet Blue Flowers are the best serious yuri anime. But both of them only cover about half their manga source and have unsatisfying endings as a result.) --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

E.g. they perceived Trump to be more moderate than Clinton in 2016!If voters looked at Trump and Clinton and felt Trump was the moderate one, wouldn't that also support the hypothesis that voters generally think our politicians need to move to the right?

The literal way he speaks itself is engaging to them, and that's all that matters for most people when choosing who to support.Sometimes I wonder how many Americans just aren't capable of following most political speeches. Obviously Trump's speeches are complete nonsense, but could there be a significant amount of voters who basically think that all politicians are constantly spewing similar nonsense word salad with no real meaning? --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

You're not wrong at all about this, but: 70 million Americans don't get to vote for Trump and then receive an "actually the electorate is blameless", sorryWorth noting: Biden's lead over Trump in the popular vote was smaller than his lead in just California and New York.

Hank is, and he's the best antagonist in the show's runtime, built up over the entire show's runtime to be the natural endpoint of Walt's poor life choices.Agreed. It's the biggest problem with BB's finale. The main plot arc of S5 basically wraps up in Ozymandias, but then the cartoonistly evil Nazis are promoted to main antagonists for what's basically a short epilogue. It's just nowhere near as interesting as the previous conflicts in the series. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |
