  • I’m pretty much with you on this one. A lot of these people sound like they have terrible boundaries with their children. I get OP’s in a difficult situation, but I don’t get why they’re complaining about spending $30 on pizza when they agreed to pay that before it was even delivered. I’m not saying OP should’ve been like “you will eat what I say or you will go without dinner,” but really, as a parent you can give your child realistic options that don’t require you hiding in the garage for a couple hours. Ham sandwiches don’t smell, lots of foods don’t smell. If they “refuse,” they’re still going to want to eat later when they’re hungrier, and you make the same food choices available.

    Also a large deep dish pizza from Jet’s is like $18, and it’s really hard to overstate how much more food and how much better their pizza is. Domino’s is clearly preying on people who don’t know any better or who don’t have any other options.













  • What you’ve cited here is a legal argument the DNC used in court as a defendant in a lawsuit. That doesn’t change the fact that Hillary Clinton got more votes than Sanders in 2016, which literally happened. I voted for Sanders and thought he had a better shot at beating Trump, and thought Clinton was a terrible candidate. That doesn’t change the fact that a ton of Democratic voters preferred Clinton. Women in particular were very excited about the possibility of a woman president. I knew a ton of people who voted for her over Sanders and who were excited to do so.

    Either way, the superdelegate system that locked in Clinton’s nomination was changed after 2016, yet even after Biden beat Sanders fair and square in 2020 you’d still rather think there’s some grand DNC conspiracy instead of the reality that there just aren’t enough voters supporting your preferred candidate.
