Was this released in 2022? No? Why does the tittle say "already", then?

I think the meaning is fairly obvious; an imperfect ally is better than an all-out enemy. If you wanna do politics, you need to learn who you can safely ally with, who your actual friends are, and who will always be your enemy.

Edit: oh wow, look at all those comments on ML. I wonder why this person would object to lesser evil rhetoric favoring the democrats.

The person running for office is a politician? Say it isn't so!

I wonder why this article is being released before the election, rather than later when the cooling of support isn't extremely likely to lead to a strategic disadvantage? 🤔 Oh well, it's probably just a coincidence. 🤷‍♂️ Definitely no ulterior motives here. 👍

I don't remember where, but I've read they're funded by oil companies. I think it's actually surprisingly effective, because generating outrage is the point of demonstrations like this. Also, iirc, all their targets so far have been behind protective barriers, so no real damage either. Should they be inconveniencing oil execs? Sure! (I'd honestly prefer if they [comment cannot legally be completed], but that's probably asking too much.) But their current strategy gets more attention, and more attention gets better awareness. No one cares about a rich asshole. Everyone cares about world-famous art.

I think the story is from 2015. I haven't read it, but the title makes that seem likely.

"So what's it like living in Russia?" "Oh, I can't complain."

Why is he still in the news?

Well it's a shame you don't have any authority, so you can't force people to go along with your unhinged demands.

Judging from the headline, it was probably by being stinky.

Title and all? I would pick . If anyone disagrees, you're lying.

 

"Every previous president would have ended it by now."

"Biden literally couldn't do worse."
