@thereal_renaissance_man so in 4 years when it's likely a democrat gets elected (more likely than now), is that the time for revolution or does blue just take the win...or does someone actually try something?

@thereal_renaissance_man good spin when you type in AOC Bernie or AOC Rogan and every link points to a distancing.

@thereal_renaissance_man if Trump wins a second term, 2024 at least will have someone new.

However, is that when people decide to go for a less extreme (either direction) voice or does the sword of Damocles go to the other side?

Stabilization might be easier with someone new. Stabilization is not a revolution though.

@thereal_renaissance_man partisanship ship is really only king because Trump has made the whole party radioactive.

But then Joe Rogan says he likes Bernie and AOC disavows him. Come on.

@thereal_renaissance_man I mean, Trump has even alienated republicans.

He's the guy that beat Hillary.

I would think that this is the perfect time for a revolution when tensions are this high. The choices right now are bad and worse and I don't know what the confidence is in Biden, but I imagine if Bernie was running as an Independent, he'd still be there and you wouldn't be thinking Biden or bust.

@thereal_renaissance_man also...if a second term for Trump isn't the time to test Independent...when is?

@thereal_renaissance_man that's the thing. The fear of Trump has forced everyone to Biden while alienating a bunch of voters. I would have thought that especially after 2016, Sanders and followers wouldn't trust the DNC. Guess it was just the Chairwoman that was rigged, huh?

You make a good point about the electoral college, but at least he would have been in the general election.

Now in a field that once had Kamala, Warren, Buttigieg, and Bernie...the choice is Biden?

@thereal_renaissance_man I agree that the system is broken. However, I think Bernie has enough support to force change. He could have done a live stream during the debates and for every commercial he makes his points. Him or his followers eventually make enough noise that parties and networks can't ignore. Eventually everyone thinks parties and networks fear him. They probably do now. But if he's an Independent, they can't short his delegates.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. That's the phrase, right?

Bernie 2016: I'm running as a democrat
DNC: We're actively screwing you in favor of Hillary

Bernie 2020: I'm running as a democrat
DNC: How about no?

So is this the stage of shame on Bernie for not running as an Independent... which...is...what...he...holds...office...as...a...Senator...in...Vermont...as...

Always thought it was ridiculous he switched for the election. It's bit him twice.

As great as the Shooter series is, I have a lot of problems with the ending. While satisfying to the general story and even giving it the series the same ending as the movie, there is so much wrong and unnecessary.

I will say, I binged the show as easily as I binge Jack Ryan. I couldn't get to the next episode fast enough.

Lastly, I didn't read the books. Maybe it's faithful to the books and thus earns a pass.

Make one month a year a work from home month? We clearly can.

Could put it in the winter so people aren't slip sliding. Could put it in the Spring or Fall so people aren't taking summer vacation during this. Could have it attached to the beginning or end of Summer to finish or start the school year.

My only point is that as bad as things seem, there are ways to flip it to some kind of positive both short and long term.

There is a lot of bad in this pandemic. A lot. Perhaps you mostly put that on how seriously people take it.

However, there is some good. In Omaha, I only see the focus we've had on local businesses on Small Business Saturday, the day after Black Friday.

The lows the stock market has hit are making for great but in prices.

Looking at this https://twitter.com/pattrn/status/1242556796482375680?s=19 , there is less smog out there.

People are finding ways to work from home.

Why not take at least that last one and build on it?

Does anyone know if Trump is going to talk about the pandemic again soon? Market largely up since Monday is longest streak since this hit. I'm curious if he is going to open his mouth and tank it any time soon.

Only the friggin Mets can have one of their rotation pitchers go down with Tommy Johns during a shortened year.

Bright side is that it's a short year.

World,

You are going to disappoint me if publicly traded alochol company stocks are not going up by the end of this.

I had been saying that he should groom AOC and nurture a message together over the next four years.

She'd be 35 by the inauguration, not the election. She could do another term as Congresswoman and finish before the election so she wasn't splitting her time.

But no. Why? Because Joe Rogan bad.

The snake continues to eat itself because you either fall in line or are cast aside. No in between. No agreeing on most things. No coming to a compromise WITH MEMBERS OF YOUR OWN PARTY.

If Sanders just relied on his message and supporters, he wouldn't need to worry about delegate count and losing to Biden right now.

He'd be running as an Independent, the affiliation/party he is part of as Senator.

He could show everyone that you don't need to be Republican or Democrat to make an impact politically.

Instead he's here. Facing another losing battle. All because he didn't trust people to align with a message over a party.

Hunters is a great show until you realize Lonnie is friggin Ted and now I want to punch him in his indecisive face every time I see him.

@th3j35t3r just have to realize they don't see it as that. No fault of your own...some of those opinionated segments are a runaway train. They decided to run you over by deeming you transphobe. Keep doing what you're doing and they'll be back to supporting you by Tuesday.

@th3j35t3r I'd be angrier at the people supporting Manning's GoFundMe's than I would the people who refuse to accept or understand you opinion or reasoning for it. You're not going to win everyone's support on a subject like that.
