It didn't use to be. I remember most churches on the 80s had a message of, "try to be a good person" and then everyone would hang out and chat. Pretty chill space. Can't stand going to any churches now.

All indefinitely means is "not certain". So it could mean a week... Or a century.

These disks are pretty well understood. You should be good for a decade. At about 12-13 years it's risky and anything after 15... If it's still working, count yourself lucky.

Exactly. The more claims you can deny the lower you can make premiums appear because you're not actually paying out.

And I imagine it'd be even easier on a podcast with a production crew to edit the material to help craft and maintain an image.

You mean, like passing a decree requiring all incoming presidents to sign an ethics pledge before taking office?

I don't agree. The dnc opted to go with a strategy of, "we don't need to listen to the will of the voters, and we'll double down on doing the same gd thing we've always done, you either get on board, or bad-man wins!"

People want change. DNC refused to make even the hint of willingness to change, it's no surprise they lost so many voters.

This was entirely avoidable.

My only hope is that the DNC will finally wake the fuck up and introduce an actual progressive platform. But shit, I said the same thing when Hillary tanked. So why would it be different now?
