Democrats Have Terrible Choices

SE should have a built-in "discussion" maker option in the post that auto sets the URL to the URL of the post. :)

Have you ever had a take so centrist that every side is mad at you for it? https://twitter.com/JoshNBCNews/status/1138476899301240833

Wow. @PeteButtigieg issues an ultimatum to #Israel's Netanyahu: Says if he proceeds with annexing West Bank settlements, "He should now that a President Buttigieg would take steps to make sure that American taxpayers won’t help foot the bill"

Biden at a fundraiser tonight, on his desire to work with the Republican Party post Trump.

“With Trump gone you’re going to begin to see things change. Because these folks know better. They know this isn’t what they’re supposed to be doing."

Pete Buttigieg wants to overhaul the Supreme Court by launching a commission to depoliticize it & expanding the number of justices, with five affiliated with Democrats, five affiliated with Republicans, and five apolitical justices chosen by the first 10. https://on.msnbc.com/2HRY0Hj

Presidential candidate John Delaney booed at CA Dem convention for saying: "Medicare for all may sound good but it's actually not good policy nor is it good politics."

-Other infuriations.

Joe Biden meets a voter’s granddaughter in an Iowa coffee shop and asks her age. She says she’s 13. He addresses her brothers. “You’ve got one job here, keep the guys away from your sister.”

"depoliticize". I was kinda floored at how little I had heard people call out Pete for his terrible terrible court idea.

The linkify tag is mostly meant be used as a "make all these urls into links." That's the beauty of it, it's only gotta be used once. It's getting confused and choking on too many. Also you can't use an img tag inside of a linkyify because it wants to make the img into a link, so it chokes.

So in the future, arrange all your links together in a linkify and then put img tags and selinks at the bottom.👍😅

So you were able to make sense of this nonsense
built-in "discussion" maker option in the post that auto sets the URL to the URL of the post.
and respond in kind? Good job!

Also, test.

I do know what they're saying, but that's not what I fixed. That is something I'd like to do, but it's a bit trickier (not impossible) because setting the Entry # is the last step of the posting process.

Maybe just a bout of job frustration on my part. Too often I hear
Client: I want the the thingy to act like the thingy with the thingy when I do the thingy.
Me: What?
Client: you know, the thingy.
Me: ......

But you seem to have a grasp. More power to ya.
conception said @ 7:33pm GMT on 12th Jun
Oh, haha, looks like you've never done a link-less post before but if you want a post to link to itself, you have to put in a false url, post it and then go back in and edit the url of the post to the url for the entry - http://sensibleendowment.com/entry.php/13459 in this case.

It'd be nice if you could say "This post has no URL and is for discussion only or content that I am putting in the post itself" sort of thing that makes the URL for clicking on the link to point to itself.
steele said[1] @ 7:44pm GMT on 12th Jun
I forget, does it give an error message if you have no URL?

It does not.
steele said @ 8:58pm GMT on 12th Jun
That makes things easier. In theory, if you make a post without a link, once it's posted it will link to itself. Or, new bug. Who knows!

I don't know if they have that particular video in this link, but the mic cut out so Bernie Sanders took to the streets with a megaphone the other day.


Socialist Lee Carter won his VA primary yesterday.

Absolutely. There are so many shenanigans going on in the way they're presenting polls and things. I saw one headline the other day where it was like, "Biden Leading But Warren Is Catching Up!" Meanwhile, Bernie is consistently 10-15 points above Warren.

I won't even be paying attention for another few months. We'll get several weeded out for various fiascoes between now and then. Somebodies--- Biden, Buttigieg, Harris, Delaney, whoever--- will sound so sweetly naive in 3 months that it's not even worth thinking about now.
Hugh E. said @ 6:21pm GMT on 12th Jun
"various fiascoes"

Mostly manufactured. #yeeaahhh

So pay attention now.

Soon.

So what if all the Democrat choices are terrible?

The Republicans were offered far worse choices, and they still made it work.

Bernie Sanders to Deliver Speech On How Democratic Socialism Is the Only Way to Defeat Oligarchy


I haven't seen the actual footage, but people are bitching that MSNBC and CNN both cut off this speech just before Bernie started talking about fascism.
Hugh E. said @ 11:00am GMT on 13th Jun
Imagining O'Rourke and Buttigieg as on the same level as Warren or even Harris is the true disgrace to the party.
