well they need to flip four. polls suggest Rs might be able to flip MI.

Sherrod Brown is the D OH Senate candidate

I mean, Twain's critique of Fennimore Cooper is a classic example of someone saying, "what this author is doing is bad and ridiculous and they should be ashamed of themselves." that's a couple hundred years old!

you literally said she should have written about something else. not sure what to tell you there. You can of course reconsider, as you appear to have done!

especially in an adaptation, people very often talk about how the adaptation relates to the original and whether it has been true to it or has gone astray. she also talks extensively about the film's relationship to other Nolan movies.

?? there's nothing "recent" about questioning the choices a filmmaker made as well as their skill in getting those choices across? It is entirely reasonable to say, "this text is doing stupid shit" rather than restricting yourself to, "this text is not achieving its laudable goals."

$8 away

yeah, just pretty much straight going on polls here.

I think the hope is more that there's just a massive blue wave and brown is a reasonably good candidate and can take advantage of it.

He did not vanish; we received absolute proof yesterday he's alive. If you believe the nonpartisan military physicians and other military healthcare professionals in the OAP—led by a Navy Admiral physician appointed by Obama in 2009—would take the grave risk of lying for Mitch, no one can help you.

anyway...it would be NC>ME>MI>AK>TX>OH>IA>FL>NE right now, I'd guess. Ds need five of those, which would mean they need to win TX, where they're at about 50/50.

that makes sense.

believe they would write the statement in those terms if he were permanently incapacitated. Neither can I see how he could be participating in rigorous physical rehabilitation, and the implied future return to work—which OAP did not foreclose—if he were permanently incapacitated.

Good work. And thanks for the link to mine. My only disagreement is that the nonpartisan OAP would never have released that statement were it not true. That would be violating two separate oaths and risking the end of their military and medical careers and imprisonment. He is alive; and I don't

idk. I think if Ds get one we're in an environment where they're pretty likely to get the other, but if I had to bet on which one might go first I'd probably say Texas, at least at the moment.

I think Texas may actually look more likely for Ds than OH right now?!

hello.

they don't. they can't force Mitch out. could Ds force Feinstein out? Ginsburg? we've seen this happen before. there isn't a conspiracy; just old assholes refusing to let go of power.

"Acknowledging that the other side can fuck up and that sometimes your side is playing it right means admitting that there is hope, and hope can be a vulnerable thing. Doomerism feels safer—even when it objectively makes you weaker and helps the fascists."

I think when revenge helps the fascists you should choose defeating the fascists over revenge.
