Probably a mammal. Definitely a nerd.
I always go Independent because my Courier ends up feeling that the NCR just wants to use New Vegas as a buffer to absorb attacks from the Legion.

It seems quite appropriate that the fourth cast to play the team were the ones who made a truly fantastic movie.

Dems screamed because the Progressive Caucus in the House threatened to vote no on the infrastructure bill over the continual loss of stuff they wanted in the bill.

But Manchin doing the Darth Vader "alter the deal" skit from Robot Chicken was a-okay.

The Search for Spock is amazing, but The Motion Picture isn't even half as interesting as Wrath of Khan.

What a mobile set of goalposts you use, bless your little heart.

It is almost hilarious how your reaction to getting an example of how the centrists are the ones doing what you accused "the far left" of doing, you spun out this badly.

Time to mute you and let the adults talk, though.

No, that's you doing that when you choose to ignore that it's the centrists like Matt Yglesias are the ones arguing that identity politics are bad for Democrats, rather than "the far left".

Identity politics won't save us
Treating people according to the content of their character is good, actually

You presented things that didn't support your argument. Sanders saying "What we need is a woman who has the guts to stand up to Wall Street, to the insurance companies, to the drug companies, to the fossil fuel industry" is not him saying "identity politics for minorities/democrats is bad".

Starting off with a Republican op-ed sure is a way to establish whether you're capable of or willing to engage in good faith.

You have yet to offer any examples of "the far left" being the ones decrying identity politics rather than the legions of centrist Dems who have gone on record doing so.
November 15, 2025 at 8:53 PM
Thank you for admitting that you were wrong, rather than just trying to deflect.

If you were smarter and better informed, you would have noticed all the articles written by centrist Dems saying that embracing identity politics is bad, and calling for the party to reject leftists and progressives in favor or appealing to moderate Republicans and independents.

"UNTIL ARE ARE BARELY LEGAL."

I haven't seen leftists or progressives jump on that bandwagon. But I have seen an appallingly high number of centrist Dems who hate leftists and progressives do that.

Some years ago, I was reading a thing that had the following line in it:

"DEPRESSION IS A FUCKING LIAR."

When things get dark, I repeat that as often as I have to in order to keep going.
