That’s pretty much how I feel

There are going to be a lot of decent candidates trying to be heard. Hopefully it doesn't divide the party as much as Bernie and Hillary did in 2016.

I don't think this happened at all. Bernie galvanized the youth, while Hillary was just wildly unpopular (yet still won the popular vote). Young people would've come out in droves to vote for Bernie, they stayed home for Hillary. And of course, the whole superdelegate thing...

I already see similar comments similar to what I saw in 2016, this time against people like Booker, Harris, and Warren. If you can get someone to unite the more left-leaning voters as well as mainstream Democrats, they win easy imo.

this really sucks

This is just awful. An 800 year old church that will go down in a matter of hours. They are trying to save the artwork.

 

[Dostoevsky]

I doubt it can be saved at this pooint. And I doubt such damage can be repaired on such an old building. It was (is) a symbol of Paris. Such a horrible thing to happen.

 

[KB824]

That beautiful architecture

 

[Dostoevsky]

It shows how disgusting modern architecture is.

 

[DAiDEViL]

Just saw this.

Sucks to lose a building like that.

Maybe the walls can stay intact, with "only" the roof being destroyed? Would still suck, but better than nothing at this point.

Spire already collapsed. It might've been due to renovation work in the building.

 

[Cerval]

That's terrible

 

[lgorTudor]

apparently fire started during renovations work

Really fucking tragic, even if it takes 100 years I hope they can rebuild it

Never managed to visit Paris and see it live, unfortunately

Probably just god's punishment marking the end of western civililization and punishment for sinners who enforced muslim invasion, their souls be damned forever

I somehow doubt that. I doubt they'd hire amateurs for such works.

I'm afraid that majority of the building is made by wood. I might be wrong. But I doubt it would be easy to fix either way. They can't handle the fire, it's fucking huge.

 

[KB824]

The majority of the inside of the building is indeed made of wood. It's nickname is "The Forest", because of the amount of wood that was used.

They said that the Crown of Thorns are in the treasury in that church.

That's what happens when Quasimodo throws a bbq

 

[DAiDEViL]

I think Ronn is right.

Accidents happen, not only to amateurs.

 

[Dostoevsky]

I think Ronn is right.

It's what the media said too. I mean the works, cables and such.

Whatever happened it's really horrible. Even when I search for photos I get sad seeing how beautiful it is (or was).

 

[Post Ironic]

Tragedy, indeed.

As Victor Hugo once wrote: “Every surface, every stone of this venerable pile, is a page of the history not only of the country, but of science and of art.”

 

[campionesidd]

Super sad story. A piece of history, more than 800 years old, wiped out in a single afternoon.

 

[DAiDEViL]

Did they nickle and dime Notre-Dame to death?
