There are already dumb twitter posts blaming others (billionaires really, she was done before they started doing anything) for kamala’s demise. She had her moment when she beat Biden in the debate a few months ago and like Beto failed at seizing that momentum and now it’s over.
I mean I think people should just acknowledge that where we currently set the bar for free education is pretty arbitrary. Like, you could just as easily argue that people don’t “need” 9-12 education any more than they “need” a college degree. Lots of kids could get by doing essentially shop class or apprenticeships or just becoming waiters or cashiers or whatever at age 15.
You can easily argue (correctly, I think) that the societal benefit of having every child get a free 9-12 education outweighs the cost of providing that, but you can also make that same argument (again, correctly I think) about college or trade schools. But in any case let’s not pretend like there’s something innately better about 9-12 education than college. It’s just a matter of where you want to draw the line.

I think the point is supposed to be that grades 9-12 are the finding out period for those who are going to college or not.

They’re probably good about knowing talented people in their field. The difficulty is that some businessman with no experience in the public sector is going to know jack-all about who would make a good federal judge.

Can you imagine?
I’m 400 posts behind in this thread and doing things like spamming music threads because I don’t care about long strings of garbage posts slagging solid candidates and good posters.

Oh, fuck right off. Eat the rich, indeed.
“oh he did one of those presidential volunteering photo ops?”
“Yeah but for the WRONG charity.”
Huh? My only point was that he’s innovative and smart. Also, I don’t think the president is all that important outside of setting the national tone and agenda. The implementation of that agenda gets done by cabinet wonks and their secretaries. If there were literally no president for a week, the country would run just fine. There’d be zero disruption in the military or anywhere else

No, guys, you just wouldn’t understand. There’s NUAAAAAANCE.
Dem because RBG isn’t making it to election day, giving the next R prez the chance to nominate another 2-3 justices.

I’m no presidential historian, but I don’t think this is accurate. He didn’t “give up,” he just ran into a brick wall with a house and senate that openly bragged that they’d veto a “water is wet” bill from President Obummer

This is worse than cinnamon rollgate.
I hope boredsocial enjoyed the whipped cream though.

Obummer gave up after he rec’d the nomination. It can only be speculated why he took the citibank donations and appointment suggestions (he went on to appoint 13/14 of citi’s suggestions?). I personally choose to believe he woke up with a horses head lying between he and Michelle and rec’d a call about an offer he couldn’t refuse.

This is the equivalent of “you’re gonna make me vote for Trump”
lol at trying to claim people here don’t talk about why they like their preferred candidate.
lol at trying to imply those 4.2 million views are because of AOC.
