Weasels Ripped my Flesh is the first to come to mind, but I’m also partial to The Muscular Sorrow of Sadbrain Beardman
Barely legal, some would say
I dunno, that sounds like a fast track to being the subject of a murder mystery. I think I’m good.
You’ve never heard of the Trans Siberian Railroad Orchestra?
Ah, respect. Though I think you could slip “or by the trigger” without much fuss.
My point is that the song is topical enough to warrant practical commentary.

Practice appropriate trigger safety. Come with a readied weapon obviously, but keep that finger off the trigger until the split second before it’s necessary.
Eh, Hanlon’s Razor. There are certainly plenty of dirty neo-libs, but I also think the Democratic party is where passionate, practical minded, progressive political science types wind up, and I think that demographic is well-meaning but caught up in metrics.
Metrics rely on historical data. Obviously Biden should be the candidate, he’s an incumbent, and incumbents have an advantage. The problem is the sample size is too low (n = 47) to really control for most variables. Especially since when you consider the study longitudinally, n = 1.
Anyway, politics is hard, and I’m willing to give a little grace to those who are least trying to be smart. Strategists seem like the smart move, but the big paradox of analyzing a quickly-changing subject is that the more data-backed your strategy, the more outdated it is. The world moves too fast now.
I suspect a not-insignificant segment of the caucus has been been just sincerely trying to play the right moves.
I would imagine he, or members of his staff, did read them all before today, and have a good idea of the contents. I believe he explicitly said he was going to reissue certain ones.
Strikes require a strike fund or they fizzle once the strikers run out of savings, and who has savings these days? There’s already a general strike ready to trigger once enough people commit.
Protests take time to organize. More frequent protests will be much smaller, and therefore easily ignored.
It turns out, organizing millions of people takes a substantial amount of time, effort, and resources.
Maybe not everything, there were a few less-than-greats in his catalogue. It’s been a while, but I can’t imagine The Pebble and the Penguin or A Troll in Central Park being particularly good as an adult.

Common misconception, the person was named after Nim Chimpsky, the famous chimpanzee from the Columbia a University ASL study.
The majority of US Americans want to stop supporting the Israeli genocide. The vast majority of US Americans want to stop the climate catastrophe.
Those aren’t really progressive positions though. Progressives hold them, but so do many, many other people. You can’t use that as evidence for a broader progressive sentiment.
And my point is that your assessment of the average American is not supported by evidence. I would certainly wish that the average American would be in support of a progressive candidate, but there are no facts to support it. We can’t direct strategy with wishful speculation. We have to suit our strategies to the actual conditions of the environment in which we live.
Yes, he’s a progressive, that’s my point. When the people were presented a neolib and a progressive, the neolib doubled the progressive’s votes. Primaries are decided by voters.
I’ve been spending more time on Facebook, to get sort of a bead on the general consensus. Even accounting for bots, there are a lot of fucking idiots in this country.
