@ChnRstrntKng@regendaspragent Canes are very likely going to win the Metro and make the conference final again. If the Panthers sandbag the regular season again they will be the ones with the challenging playoff draw, not us.
@1ShaynaMaidel@ryangrim@NoahPollak The world *tolerates* or outright subsidizes Israel invading and occupying Lebanon once a decade - not sure what kind of fucking support you expect beyond the west supplying your bullets, bombs, and intelligence to blow up apartment buildings in Beirut.
@LACEdaFlyFellow@eternallyRaq 20k people is REO Speedwagon at a county fair attendance. What are we doing here? Online isn’t real life, & the 75 million people that voted for Kamala aren’t online bitching about DSA & Bernie Bros - KHive is a group of liberal social media trolls, they don’t represent anything
@LACEdaFlyFellow@eternallyRaq It’s a racially diverse group of precocious 35yo liberal arts grads all using condescending AAVE to defend the politics of white senile millionaires. And bots, lots of bots.
@ellaella963@canespowerplay The Hurricanes haven’t built an annual contender by trusting other teams player development process. Not every gamble pays off.
@LACEdaFlyFellow@eternallyRaq A trite, boring, and reductive accusation - a projection that doesn’t even address the discussion. “Moderate” is an idealogical distinction, don’t conflate Black moderates with KHive.
@LACEdaFlyFellow@eternallyRaq Pretending there is some deep ideological cultural analysis there is insulting - it’s just gatekeeping. It’s a (Southern) Black political patronage system being threatened by a younger *more diverse* voting bloc with no allegiance to the 60’s & 70’s Black civil rights movement.
@LACEdaFlyFellow@eternallyRaq Each response you sidestep the original point, which was the hypocrisy of KHive Democrats. Moderation is fine, what’s hypocritical is portraying establishment moderate politics as the only ideology supportive of Black interests.
@LACEdaFlyFellow@eternallyRaq “Legitimacy” there is a strawman argument. No one’s arguing the party is inauthentic. It’s vainglory that blinds moderate Dems to the ineffectiveness of their politics or pride that makes them refuse to acknowledge their ineffectiveness. Is the Party a vehicle or cultural trophy?
@KehlerPeyton@spittinchiclets lol, Philly doesn’t even make the playoffs this year if Rod (the former Flyer) doesn’t basically forfeit our shoot-out with Nikishin and Miller shooting.
@LACEdaFlyFellow@eternallyRaq Nothing you wrote addresses what I wrote. KHive conflating Black American identity w/ moderate Democratic politics isn’t an effective shield against scrutiny of moderate Dem politics, it doesn’t address their effectiveness or righteousness, it’s just a red herring tactic.
@LACEdaFlyFellow@eternallyRaq Whether a candidate “appeals” to KHive voters is irrelevant- the point is KHive commentary is dishonest & hypocritical regarding a demand for Black candidates & Black representation. KHive *actually* just wants moderate establishment politics, which they conflate with Blackness.
I don’t think this will happen but also it would be the most Washington thing ever to impeach Trump for ending an illegal war instead of for starting it.
sorry but “surrender document” and “the U.S. will not soon recover from this” are patently psychotic things to say. Why is every major liberal talking like John Milius? The avg American’s life will not be impacted by the US not menacing Iran except their gas prices will go down
The Trump administration sends a great message of strength to the world: if you negotiate with us for 40 years we’ll just bomb you anyways, but if you fight back for a month we’ll give you everything you want
@BigPercOG@emanningwrites Freeing up an additional 3-5 million cap space allows us to sign Nikishin and add a significant piece. We potentially make a big upgrade from Kotchetkov, or Jankowski. We can’t stand pat and expect to repeat.
@BigPercOG@emanningwrites If we aren’t playing him in year 4(5?) of his contract, we certainly aren’t going to pay him a full contract for another 4 years of nothing. It doesn’t make sense to have multiple other valuable contributors take less than market value and then keep paying KK 5 million dollars.
@dogandhockey@NHLRumourReport Better value is relative. EP’s contract is bad, even with the rising cap. Canes don’t have any reason to make lateral trades or get older.
