I've been thinking Pizzaballa but admittedly am very much not Catholic and usually don't exactly have my finger on the pulse of what their most valued goals are.
Absolutely, her voice brings an unique amount of soul to the country sound. I also respect that after a successful several records she just decided to hang it up on her own terms.
Seeing way too many Dems in my feed today who are either brand new or willfully ignorant of the nature of special elections. Y'all still need to do the work.
I wouldn't yet, both because it's not actually him blowing it as much as being the flak-catcher for something else and that the election is not being held in this particular moment where all the anti-Trump feeling has resulted in merely the possibility of retaining the status quo as a best-case scenario. The fundamentals of the race and nature of honeymoon bounces have not changed. Of course, for all we know Trump will maintain this on again/off again tariff uncertainty for two more months and the anger could linger, but that remains a very specific scenario outweighed in likelihood by alternatives that are less advantageous to the incumbent party.
Oh man, put on that Flashdance soundtrack and let those 70 points just wash all over me. The other recount can stay put and I'll be just fine with that.
This issue is indicative of a greater flaw within progressive discourse and spaces that is hurting their ability to connect with anybody outside of their umbrella. There's a tendency to identify who the aggrieved party is, oversimplify the story, hold them up as a victim, fast-forward past any wrestling with specifics, and ascribe motives to everyone else that mesh comfortably with the story. This is a complex issue with questions at its root of fairness, equality, and the place of sex-segregated spaces in society. It's not the same as the fight for marriage just because they're part of the same jumble of letters. That was a great victory that came as a result of individuals sharing their stories and relationships with those close to them until it clicked with most of the nation that these were people who were sincerely inviting them in to share their existence and weren't terribly different underneath it all. You can't skip the hard work, vilify the infidels, and expect others to suddenly see the light and come to your side. There needs to be genuine inclusivity here.
Nope, don't like it. It even appears to be a more bluish (and therefore less natural) hue than before. I have a hard time imagining a more fitting change for a party light on workable and practical ideas to address environmental challenges than changing from marketing based on the natural beauty of plantlife to one of a meaningless void.
OK, though it's a song contest. Yuval Raphael is not the Israeli foreign minister and it's kinda ****ty to react negatively to her or Eden Golan last year because their nation is politically unpopular and they are representing their nation in an unrelated arena. That kind of collectivist transference of responsibility is prejudicial to even bigoted in my own sense of morality. It's not righting any wrongs perpetrated by the government of the state of Israel.
A modest request for you, KeyProg: would you kindly add a speculative filing deadline date along with the speculative poll date for these sort of races? When there's no filing deadline entered the site defaults to showing them as announced candidates and I'd hate for anybody to get the wrong idea on whether somebody is running or not.
Hamilton Centre going PC would be hilarious but the vote level required would mean a pretty decent swing in their favor along with the vote splitting. Sticking with the most likely result of even well-liked incumbents polling much lower running as Independents.
