I’m glad it works for you.

It’s a 17 point spread. Unless he can get an entire section of voters to flip it’s wasted money and effort. In the general election the republicans there would be easily convinced to vote for the Dem’s guy.

The other shoe is this is the guy who pulled the fire alarm. The attack ads for his primary have been written for a long time and he didn’t have good odds no matter who primaried him. The Dems went with the conservative guy to get AIPAC to fund the campaign and because they don’t fundamentally care about ideology, just having the most seats.

Israel also failed with every other progressive so far. And this guy had a target on his back from the day he pulled the fire alarm to delay a vote.

This is the guy who pulled a fire alarm to delay a vote. They were never not going to primary him. His statements on Israel just meant they could get AIPAC to fund his replacement.

Bully for you?

I didn’t for a long time either. Then I needed one.

I’ve never had one actually work though. Irons, used properly, are safe and they work.

I’m just going to be over here looking at the gas station jobs.

Speak for yourself. Casual clothes killed most ironing but ain’t nobody showing up in a wrinkled suit.

If you want to argue there are bad NP and PA programs that’s fine. But on the whole NPs and PAs are graduate level jobs with strict certification tests. And honestly? We extremely over train doctors to just look at cuts, bruises, and stomach aches all day. For 11 to 15 years education they should be running the place and tracking down the hard cases.

Always a fun time when you have to beg the ambulance crew to drive you to the VA instead of the closest hospital because it’s the only way the VA will cover your ambulance ride. Despite Congress telling them they need to pay for them three times. They even passed a law and the VA immediately ignored it.

Then God help you if they decide your emergency wasn’t actually an emergency. Because on top of all the other problems, a surprise medical bill was just what you needed.

I watched Hank Green’s stand up today and he let out the secret to cancer in the US. It’s the one thing the health insurance industry doesn’t want you to know! Just make sure to get your cancer at the start of the year so you can max that deductible and get free healthcare the rest of the year!

On the list of things we should have done by now…

Yes, I agree with that.

Yup.

That’s what I was saying. I guarantee you they keep a list as a reference. But they aren’t just xeroxing the list with checked boxes for their writing. Throwing the lists onto the Internet is the same thing as putting Fascist on a sign whenever the government installs a new traffic camera. That’s what has them upset.

And if they’re telling you there’s nothing to worry about with the current conservative movement they’re either bad at their job or part of the problem. Because every political science professor I know, even the conservative and libertarian ones, are telling anyone who will listen that we are dangerously close to voting ourselves out of a democracy.

Sure, for the electrical part. But the door as a whole should Fail Open. You can pull over with an open door. You should not have to break the door to escape after a failure.

Hitler also told a lot of people they were part of the movement. Then the Night of The Long Knives happened. He was meth addict willing to say whatever he needed to say.

He’s not wrong, but he’s not right either. Those lists are meant to be paired with deep analysis of the ideology and an academic understanding of the terms used. When used correctly they are absolutely useful for predicting oppressive authoritarian regimes. Can they predict the second coming of Nazis? No, because that was a unique moment in history.

Political scientists who write their papers and books on ideology have been sounding the alarm bells about conservative and fundamentalist Christianity since the 2000’s. There’s been papers about wealth ministry and the GOP since at least the 90’s.

So yeah, the brief lists on the Internet are about as effective as a Hogwarts personality test, but that doesn’t mean the watchers aren’t screaming at you to pay attention.
