If I didn't know what closed primaries were I probably wouldn't try and dunk quote someone about politics

Ah yes, the vaunted monolithic Black Vote. Sorry, I don't give a fuck how Jim "Never Met A Big Pharma Dick He Wouldn't Suck" Clyburn tells people to vote

The numbers show Sanders would have won the primary if everyone who wanted to vote had been allowed to, and he would have won the general. Bye! 🔇

I initially was positive about Apple/MLS, but I fear it's had the effect of removing the league from the sports zeitgeist at a time when the league should be far more marketable given the presence of the biggest star on the planet

Then again, I'm lukewarm on the MLS product to begin with, so YMMV

It must suck for you to have to cling to a rigged primary to justify having been wrong this whole time and giving us Trump. If I were responsible for the awful world we live in, I'd kinda just shut up and let others take charge, but you do you

Anyway have a nice day 🔇

Bernie would have won, hope that helps 😊

You say that like it's a bad thing

I think you can debate who the better scorer, perhaps who the better player was, based on comparing eras. But I don't think he had nearly the cultural impact Gretzky did, and certainly not the impacts Jackie Robinson and Bill Russell had through their sports, so it's a no on such a gesture for me

Very much looking forward to volunteering for @chiosse.bsky.social's campaign this coming spring.

Jeffries is my congressman, Schumer my senator, and they're both absolutely terrible. I cannot wait to vote against them to replace them in their respective primaries in 2026 and 2028.

Is it alright that I criticize my representatives? Do I have your permission? Or does my skin color preclude me? 🙄

For what it's worth, when Russia flipped their schedule they did a 1.5x-long season during the change year, rather than a 0.5x-long season. Not saying it's necessarily the way to go, but there's precedent is all
