Well, it is a genocide, and Biden is materially responsible, and he is one of the two world leaders (and one of the two people in the world) most responsible for it. You may not like the fact, but it is there. Apart from that, the gap between us is not going to be bridged by further discussion.

This is one of the worst posts in Atlas history, and that's saying something.

Thoughts on Jon Lovett being in the S47 preview? How is he going to do?

Well, we know for sure where he stands politically.

I was surprised that McCain was winning until I gave it a little more thought: McCain's hawkishness versus Lieberman stood out as a way he was worse, but McCain was pretty much towing his party's line for most of his life while Lieberman was usually at odds with the party's mainstream.

So, looking at it from that perspective, maybe McCain is less bad.

Just like asking R who do they prefer between Sinema and Murkowski. Murk is to the right of Sinema, but I bet the vast majority of R would prefer her.

Don't you mean "D?"

Based! I support free “gender-affirmative care” for violent criminals. Castration is proven to work for sex offenders. Let’s also bring back actually using the death penalty, and flogging too, and we’ll be back on the right track of civilized justice instead of slave morality.

So has the ads just lost all momentum going into these elections?

Sorry, I can't comprehend. What is "the ads"?

The vote only has sense considering the political leans of both CT and AZ in the 90s and 2000s.

Los Lobos - La Bamba

Secretary of State Cordell Hull (D-TN) / Postmaster General James Farley (D-NY) ✓
Businessman Wendell Willkie (R-IN) / Senator Charles McNary (R-OR)

Avoiding the third term issue is probably Hull's only advantage over Roosevelt. He has Roosevelt's full blessing for his internationalist stance, of course, and a prominent New Dealer ends up on the ticket to shore up the Northeastern bosses and address Roosevelt's concerns about safeguarding his domestic policies. But other than that, Hull was old and sick and reluctant even just to keep being Secretary of State, and Democratic factionalism would simmer more with the change in faces (a Southern president might give the black community pause, while white Southerners would notice that he doesn't race-bait). The America Firsters would be spooked by such insistence on picking an internationalist, which would be felt especially in the Midwest. Putting a Catholic on the ticket in Farley would also hurt the ticket in some places (e.g. Utah). I do think he holds up in the Northeast with his strong internationalism and, again, Farley on the ticket. All in all, it would be a tighter race, but still not too close with just how badly Republicans had screwed up in recent memory.

bruh
