Democrats requested probe into complaints military commanders used Christian rhetoric to justify Iran war Social media users claimed commanders pushed "end-times Christian fascism" as a justification for the Iran war. Here's what that means.

So unbelievably petty and unserious to have an undersecretary of state engaging in banal arguments on social media.

That should be motivation enough to ramp up the full release of the files.

Yeah...but that's not how the elections played out, for example, Sanders first won in the house by winning a Democratic primary as a Democrat and then switching to Independent running only against a Republican, not a Dem. Then he was an incumbent, which is a different ball of wax.

Pretty rare event, and I can't think of an example. They usually just end up being a spoiler. In fact opposition donors often support third party candidates for this reason.

So also no voting for third party candidates. Basically the same argument against stupidity applies.

We need to change that. I don't know how to do that, but it must be done.

The reason is that the left's electorate is smarter and can deal with nuance and parse competing priorities, whereas the right likes someone who tells them what to think. As the saying goes, Democrats fall in love; Republicans fall in line.

Once again I find myself agreeing with this crackpot goofball.

The safety concerns for line workers are legit. Current emergency backup generators and grid tied solar requires an auto disconnect from the house to the utility in the event of power failure, as it should. That's a system requiring professional installation.

The idea is more to get those who "didn't like either candidate" to actually vote for one.

Someone may not represent a "lesser of two evils" to you or me, but we are dealing with an electorate that elected Trump twice and most of us didn't vote.

No. It is to get the 45% of people who DON'T vote because they "didn't like either candidate" to vote. I've met several in the past week, and it is infuriating.

I want solar at my house, but I have too many trees. I did put a couple on my RV that should be able to run my fridge in the event of power failure. It would be nice to be able to have those working all the time.

We need to re-frame politics for some folks. Normalize encouraging people to vote for the candidates they dislike the least so that the candidates they dislike the most don't get elected.
