Yikes! Wouldn't have thought someone, who's courage to speak truth to power I so admired would be so dismissive and judgemental, but here we are

Not sure I understand your reasoning. Life on earth will survive just as it has though every other extinction event in prehistory.

Climate change is primarily an existential risk to human life. humanity's extinction is assured if no one has any more children. Not that that's why anyone chooses to

Who knew peace in the Middle East would be hard? Maybe Trump should send his head son-in-law over there again to "make some deals"

No. You see, this is why the billionaire class are so famous for their boundless creativity - they are unfettered by obstacles of any kind and their art just flows endlessly, delighting, intriguing and challenging us all

Well, general opinion polls are one way of validating popularity with the entire potential voting body, without limiting the sample to only DNC delegates

Ok, I'd say the delegates to the 2020 DNC convention are a pretty good proxy for that particular herd of cats

Explain to you why the DNC establishment didn't vote overwhelmingly for one of their biggest critics?

Interestingly—I’m sure this has been repeated but an U.S. trauma surgeon signaled that the entirety of the time they spent in Gaza during two tours, they’ve never treated a combatant nor do they know of anyone who has, identifying more than 60 percent of who they treated were children.
