Re: aoe3 players should stream more chess

Seriously though, stream Go. People love to watch other people learn new things, plus Go is the best game so you can't go wrong.

It would be especially interesting to watch (good) Chess players learn Go :hmm:

Re: aoe3 players should stream more chess

Chess isn't even a good game. Instead they should stream more Go

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

I am trying to find a progressive I like, I thought Yang was great but I am not really sure what to make of him joining CNN. He didn't exactly get the best treatment from liberal media. But maybe he can promote it more and in 2024 make it a viable platform, along with the other problems he was tryi...

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

yeah, none of the other candidates would attempt medicare for all If your argument is that starting a negotiation by asking for too much is good tactics, that's a valid argument, though one I disagree with in this instance ok but then please stop saying Sanders is the only one with a progressive ag...

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

he fears that an establishment democrat won't make good on their promises of leftist policy or at least won't have the bargaining power to enact those changes than sanders could have The opposite perspective is equally (imo more) valid. Personally I don't see how you can argue Sanders would have mo...

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

I think it's the best thing that could happen to the party. Corporate democrats will not win an election again. These problems the USA is facing require leftist ideologies. The fact that you're calling them "corporate democrats" and are not seeing that some or even most of them actually s...

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

He's definitely favored to win the primary. I still think democrats hate Trump enough to vote for whoever wins the primary, though I'm slightly less confident these days. Mostly I just don't think Sanders is good for the party in 2020. He was great in 2016 but he should've stepped down and made roo...

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

My opinion is that she was a very weak candidate. When the discussion becomes about that it seems prudent to mention that it's subjective. Apparently that was important immediately, but I didn't see coming that everyone would pounce on that to the extent that you did. Should've, of course. so you c...

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

[mention]u604[/mention] 2012 was a re-election campaign. The correct comparison is with 2008, in which Obama got 4 million more votes despite there being 20m less eligible voters. So what? She still got as many votes as one of the most popular politicians in recent history, albeit on the weaker of ...

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

Yea saying Hillary Clinton was a very weak candidate is just revisionist history. She has a long political background, would have been the first female president, and has the last name of Clinton. Was she an incredibly strong candidate? No she wasn't, but by no means was she an "extremely weak...

Would you admit that there are no facts that support your case? It's based on the following factors, among others which I'm not thinking of now.

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

Bernie is polling reasonably well against Trump (not terrificly, but better than many). I just linked a poll that clearly shows that Bernie doesn't have a low ceiling compared to the other candidates, as he's not only the most favorable first choice but also the most favorable second choice. It's a...

It's the same "Sanders ceiling". Yeah the numbers were different in 2016, that's why I said "in this primary". My point was that I think the fact that he can't seem to get through to a fairly large (in any case, not negligible) part of the democratic electorate is not good news,...
