Oh its definitely fun.
But their videos about movies on the level of Lucy are the best.
Those John Cena walkouts.
welp
I dislike how for his example he uses the three biggest/most well known cities in America. Like, at least compare -states- Bernie. Don't just name drop Chicago and go "see, see! We're not like -Chicago-"
Also he goes on and lists what he does want to do for gun control. I mean this man has an average rating from the NRA of an F or a D.
And guess what? The stuff he wants to do are very much the same things you hear from most Dems including Obama. Tighten restrictions on guns. Increase the background checks. Get rid of whatever is left of the gun show loop hole. Increase care for mental illness while finding ways to restrict folks with mental illness from getting guns. Even mentioned the assault weapon ban which I won't get into the word stuff.
So guess what? He isn't that different from most folks unless you are looking for absolute and total banning of firearms which will not happen no matter who you vote for.
it's a compromise position that is also very 1990s
but other parts of Illinois and Indiana doesn't, I guess
yeah but then we can't bleed from our eyes because he violated our favorite shibboleth
Mazzyx refuses to clarify controversial oral intercourse stance
Top of it is a play button.
They don't the transcript up yet I don't think because the interview played for the first time no more than an hour ago. Not sure they will put it up but I know it is difficult to listen to things. Hard in this digital age. :P
I don't -want- a total banning of firearms. I want heavy goddamned restrictions on them. So, cool. Bernie probably wants a lot of the same stuff I want regarding that.
Talking about Vermont, a state which is almost 100% white and that has a population less 10,000 in the state capital, and acting like it's representative of even a large swathe of -hunters- in the US is ridiculous.
Defend your constituents Bernie but don't act like they're a representative of any significant portion of the US population. Because they're not. Especially in comparison to multi-ethnic, multi-cultural cities like LA, NYC, or Chicago.
I saw the play button, I just refused to touch it
Full sentences, paragraphs and speeches are important to the context of a story and a stance.
A single sentence or a few small lines is playing tabloid gotcha bullshit.
*Nods thoughtfully*
those uses being hunting, sports shooting and collecting. For those you need a hunting license, active membership in a gun club, and membership in the norwegian historical weapon society, respectively.
And you need to be approved by the police. The rules for what kind of and how many guns you can own depend on why.
Legally this is all based on the weapon law §7 that says "need or other reasonable cause"
who needs context when i can have a 6 second clip of obama saying the n-word?
It's a good job that's not what Sanders is doing then.
Sorry, yes, I agree, that was just the part I heard as I was pulling into the parking lot. To address your post about his position, what I want to know is if he supports those things on a national level, or just for places that aren't Vermont.
Regardless of the answer to that, you're right - he's about the same as everybody else on gun control, which isn't enough for me, but doesn't even remotely disqualify my support. I'm actually planning to vote for Bernie in the primary, and look forward to hearing him talk on his other issues when I get a chance to listen to the rest of the interview because I love his stances on most things. Sorry for contributing to a dismissive sounding derail.
Key of being informed is learning the ability to catch that.
Informed citizens pay attention. Call when bullshit is there. Problem is we are so dependent on the 30 second sound bite to explain it that if the news industry decides it isn't worth it then most people won't notice anyway.
Because no he didn't and it was a stroke
If you want meaningful gun reform in this country, the very best thing you could do is stop talking about gun control for a decade or two and do everything in your power to turn out the african american, latino and youth vote such that the composition of Washington completely changes.
THEN maybe we can tackle it. But as it stands it is pissing in the wind. When 90% of Americans and 75% of republicans wanted the most recent bill and it was still stopped due to the senate supermajority shenanigans, it should have been clear that it is wasted energy in our current climate.
The moment I saw those headlines first thing I did was go listen to the entire podcast and not read the stories.
Because that way I got to decide and hear what he was talking about in context.
I don't think most people do that.
Because rural Texas and rural Vermont are so alike.
Unfortunately, not Friday yet.
I did learn the ability to catch that: I started ignoring recordings without transcripts
?
Don't follow too many, so I'm naturally curious.
it also does a terrible job of defending liberal multiculturalism, which is the point of that particular attack
I want to think about things, not nod along
that means mental engagement, a podcast just entails waiting for the ideas to flow in via dialup whilst I still have to pay full attention
so, no podcasts for me
