And I’ve seen movements killed because tone police give politicians an excuse to bail.

Seems like a terrible name for it.

Oh we’re doing this again? “Let’s not do what I don’t feel like doing because… uh… I don’t like your tone! That’s it!”

She said what she was coached to say by the pedo administration.

I mean the biden administration had those files for all four years and didn’t release them. They would have been the biggest October Surprise ever.

Of course the name of at least one high-ranking centrist democrat is in there.

I often wonder how difficult it would be to create an aftermarket control board for existing printers.

So basically a couch fucking pedo simp

Yes, he’s a republican.

He’s stalling while republicans think of ways to sanewash pedophilia.

And they should absolutely run on that - “I will release (or support the release of) the Epstein Files on Day One.”

They should have run on that in 2024. Made a big huge issue of it during the campaign.

Instead we got “Look! dick cheney likes me!”

Wonder how few aren’t.

The party rewarded Leiberman with a VP nod. He wasn’t a member of the party either, but I guess he returned the favor by blocking the public option for them.

Bernie wasn’t nominated because he wasn’t a Democrat. AOC is a loyal Democrat, and if she gets the primary votes, and the DNC still won’t nominate her, then that’s the end of the Democratic Party.

Or we’ll see you come up with a new excuse for the party ignoring its own rules again.

In the November elections those are often the only choices.

Then don’t act surprised when people don’t return betrayal with devotion.

If we can’t criticize candidates now, precisely when is it appropriate to level criticism at politicians???

Depends. If they’re progressive, we can lob bigoted attacks at them after the primaries are over like Gilibrand and Jeffries did to Mamdani. If they’re centrist, a couple weeks before the Big Bang is too close to the election.

And when it comes right down to it, we’re talking about games.

It is The Economist.

It’s opinion. Not journalism. It’s in its own section for a reason.

On the topic girls playing sports against genetic males.

Thank you for the republican/centrist democrat talking point.

If that were true, then there would be no controversy whatsoever.

Because bigots would never just make shit up.

I don’t care about his opinion, I DO care about news. It is my opinion that his opinion isn’t news.

At least one person in this thread found out from the article that newsom threw trans people under the bus. It was news to them.

I won’t apologize that this upsets you.

I won’t apologize that a minor celebrity showing solidarity with a vulnerable minority upsets you.

And why do you care about what I think?

I don’t like it when people whine about the presence of solidarity instead of its absence.

My time is back in my possession.

Until some other minor celebrity maliciously likes trans people at you.

Surprisingly it wasn’t one of the Sacklers.

so they’d rather keep customers on slow speeds and charge the same price.

Be fair. The prices go up.

Seriously. It’s not news. That’s my opinion. I don’t care what game show hosts think of what is happening in the world. It’s irrelevant- plain and simple.>

If you don’t care, why are you still bothering with this thread? Why didn’t you just downvote and move on instead of whining about it? Your behavior is at odds with your claims, and more consistent with someone who doesn’t like people criticizing newsom.
