Lol I’m sure you think that was a very witty and biting retort

Didn’t you literally say you were offended by some people you don’t know choosing to go to Laos…?

You know, I don’t disagree with your ultimate point. But if you look through this comment chain you should recognize that the way you chose to make it is:

1. Needlessly antagonistic, and (therefore)
2. Not very effective

If you wanted to convince anyone or provoke interesting discussion I think you failed.

In the future, you should just make your argument/statement instead of asking “clever” bad faith questions.

Trump is a maniac but it’s pretty clear he says “Take a stand against tyrants AND support the one and only…”

Not “Take a stand against tyrants that support…”

If this is the best the Biden team has… Yeesh

No, the rules have always allowed them to consider promotions individually. It’s voting on promos as a bloc that requires unanimous consent.

Because that’s not the whole story.

Yes, they can (and have) done a few individually.

The reason they’ve resisted doing that for the most part is two-fold:

1. They don’t want to normalize what Tuberville is doing. If they “give-in” and start considering promotions individually, then they signal that any senator can use this as a tool.

2. They think that what Tuberville is doing is ultimately harmful to Republicans and will help Democrats win more seats in the next election. They will run ads saying that Tuberville and his fellow Republicans are hurting American military members and weakening our military readiness.

Ok u win. I didn’t want to admit it, but I guess because it wasnt a festival for peace it’s no big deal

Any theories on why ppl are getting all upset about this?

Maybe they havent heard you explain that it wasnt quite a festival for peace they attacked but a slightly different kind of festival?

I’m pretty sure it just drop ships you Chinese garbage from alibaba.

Yes exactly. Whichever party has a stranglehold in a given state/county/whatever will object because ranked choice voting has the potential to allow previously marginal (or zero chance) candidates to be elected.

Democrats are not inherently more fair-minded than conservatives. Both parties’ (all parties, actually) first priority is to maintain power. Everything else is secondary to that.

To be fair, it’s pretty tough to control.

I dig/dug it out of my yard, but I don’t know if I’d volunteer to do it anywhere else.

That guy is either a troll or is so naive it’s hilarious.

He’s happy to argue that Ukrainians should follow some sort of Marquess of Queensberry rules of war while Russia targets apartment buildings with missiles.

Just down vote him and move on.
