In conclusion, we can trust scientific consensus when they tell us GMOs are safe.
The point you're missing is that "safety of GMO's" doesn't start and stop with consumption. Also it's clear you didn't see her answer the question about it from the town hall.

Dems had a majority but still failed to pass ACA and kept gutting it and gutting it. Was it to appease conservatives? Slightly--it was mostly being gutted to appease fellow democrats who wouldn't stand in line.

Give me time stamps and I'll listen. Could not pay me to listen to that entire thing.

If you want to continue to opine from a place of ignorance, that's on you. Is this your way of admitting you've been dodging the issue around GMO safety going beyond consumption on purpose?

I am not being presented with an argument. Present me with an argument and I'll address it. Telling someone to sit down and watch a 2 hour video or else admit ignorance is ridiculous. Addressing a 3rd candidate polling at less than 5% is already being generous. There are other things to discuss besides the green party's recent attempt. This isn't the first election with a green party candidate. It won't be the last. Politics in our country has continued as if the green party doesn't even exist for a long time.
As I said, if you can tell me which part of this video is relevant, I'll gladly watch it and address it.

I'll take that as a yes then.

GH, when making an argument you are expected to provide mildly accurate citation. Even in law you can’t just cite an entire brief, you need to focus down to a specific paragraph and line. You can provide him with something beyond "Watch 2 hour video and guess which part I am referencing."

I would take that as a, you dont want to be succinct in providing your evidence, I mean if you've seen it and you know where its been addressed. For all the effort you put in a couple of time stamps couldn't hurt.
He has a point. The burden of proof is not on him to sift through 2 hours of a video for evidence of a claim you are making. Unless all 2 hours are relevant which I believe to be a suspect thought at best.

I'm gonna side with mohdoo due to the support of the general principle. *uses endorse* hmm, a pokemon with an "endorse" move, there's room there for some good comedy.

I don't think he thinks all 2 hours are relevant, but that people should watch 2 hours of Jill Stein regardless.

It was because they needed 100% of all democrats in the senate on board in order to pass it and thats a very tall order to get everyone in a party on board a single piece of legislation all because of the pointless and unneeded filibuster.

filibuster as a rule isn't inherently terrible; but it needs some restrictions and limits on usage to keep it reasonable. mostly it's the recent-ish changes to its use that are the problem. also a few codified tweaks are needed.

That's a different dialouge though right?
GMO bad, it's mentioned somewhere in this long VOD is very different from "Jill be the shit yo, watch this sick track where she lays down some truth, boom!"

Not disagreeing with any given point. Just saying that the initial ACA was much grander and was gutted because Democrats have very little party loyalty.
Just look at the GOP congressmen supporting trump 2-3 months ago. Death on their faces like someone was ramming an iron star up their asses, and yet we're still able to say that they supported Trump. Because they understand party unity is to stand together.
Dems can't even agree on what a progressive law should be let alone ban together to push it.

The filibuster itself is a great tool to stop bad bills or for a minority opinion/view to be heard. I am reluctant to remove any tools that would limit the power of the minority in the senate, which is already pretty weak.
|
As it turns out, when the other side is completely crazy, being a "progressive" does not require you to be very progressive.

Congratulations on the first step back to a civilized society?

Wow. This is absolutely amazing. I am stunned. How is this not some enormous deal? The financial incentive to imprison people is an enormous hole in our progress as a society.
