A world without responsibility has no future.
Responsibility means that you can't just quit and walk away at any time.
"Kansas and America" implies that they have to be considered separate places... which I 100% support.
It is not that simple, when we're talking about the national vote. Yes, another candidate could win the primary, but none of them have the kind of national presence to compete with Trump this close to the election. If they had been the candidate 2 years ago, maybe. Switching candidates this late will damage voter confidence, and will result in lower turnout, regardless of who the candidate is.
Imagination has nothing to do with it, this isn't a Disney movie.
I don't think a single person on your theoretical list is electable, if that's what you mean. But I would need you to be specific about who you think might be a viable alternative in order to have any useful discussion about them. I have no need to be disingenuous. You need to actually support your point of view with more than vague suggestions and hand-waving.
The democratic establishment just needs to put their weight behind a candidate that people are willing to vote for
Which would be who?
Also, that just is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this sentence, as if it were that simple.
OK, so you don't have an answer either, got it.
What is this list?
And yet they're getting into bed with Belarus.
“Following recent regulatory changes in Russia, we received persistent requests from Roskomnadzor demanding that five add-ons be removed from the Mozilla add-on store,” a Mozilla spokesperson told The Intercept in response to a request for comment. “After careful consideration, we’ve temporarily restricted their availability within Russia. Recognizing the implications of these actions, we are closely evaluating our next steps while keeping in mind our local community.”
People are getting upset about this, but it only applies within the country where Roskomnadzor has authority, and it's temporary pending further review.
Slow down your condemnations. Mozilla, as a law-abiding organization, must at least acknowledge the requests of a regulatory agency within its own country. Whether you agree with their requests or not, Roskomnadzor has governmental authority in this context within Russia.
Stop jumping to conclusions, actually read the article, and put the fucking pitchforks away.
This is a large album of images from the protests in Beijing in 1989. It gives the historical context for the events leading up to the "tank man" photo, and what happened after.
Warning: blood, gore, visible injuries, death
In case you're ever wondering, this is an example of your tax dollars at work. Thirty years ago solar and wind generation had to be heavily subsidized with government grants to make them viable in the energy market. Now the technology of both has advanced to the point that it's undercutting all of the other forms of electricity generation, without subsidization.
Government subsidies work. They're effective for getting new technologies off the ground.

Apparently the shooter was in the crowd, which means it wasn't a long gun of any kind. Probably a pistol, something small enough to conceal. 22 makes sense.
