I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Hasan Piker played a Guess Who? game with his chat and told them to guess which politician said a specific quote during their campaign.
The purpose of this game was to prove that most Democratic candidates this cycle, regardless if they are center-left or to the far-left of the party, ran on left-populism this midterm cycle. They all sounded like Bernie Sanders.
And I bunch of sports I watch don't necessarily have a system that gives the best top 8 teams or top 1 teams either and so none of this really bothers me.
Not really saying anything he says is wrong. But I guess I've long accepted in my pro sports that the winner of the championship isn't always the "best team" they're how ever the "best" team because they won the championship.
i mean i know its ragebait but i do know theres a majority of fans that enjoy this rng gimmick of swiss and sit on this stool of hahah why cant x team just beat y teams to qualify ?
because the seeding is fucking rng where its improperly setup because we gauge each regions seed 1 equal to another regions seed 1 (lol) and further more decide who the "top 8" is we play best of ones and best of 3s in this fucked seed rng simulator
worlds is a shit tournament for competition and the worst of the bunch for determining who is actually the best team is the world especially without losers bracket lawlz
worlds has always been, with both swiss and groups, a participation award for the regions not chinese or korean to get a chance to lose to those said chinese and korean teams - its the opposite of determining who is the best
@MaloryMalicious@transyapper7781 I was about to just reply "Well he is visiting a bar full of bills fans in the bar to watch the game" as if that on its own explains the necklace lol
The National Museum of American History has an exhibit right now on Filipino American history. It includes the suits that Filipino immigrants bought using the money they earned as agricultural laborers.
