It’s overly ideal*, that’s all. Apparently the word idealist doesn’t work for the word ideal, just a philosophy. So apparently the invention of a philosophy, using a word to define itself, makes the word’s original meaning obsolete and it suddenly only means that philosophy.
No, Elaine had plenty of sensible boyfriends... *she's the one who's insensitive.* Puddy, for example, was a standard, stoic, malleable, idiosyncratic man that Elaine nitpicked like she always does.
4:07 Just noticed the multiple exclamation points next to Elaine's name on the "Do Not Deliver" list. 🤣 Clever reference to the exclamation point argument in The Sniffing Accountant episode.
My screen light was a little off. When the commie walked in, I thought it was Jerry. I thought she was razzing him about earning too much and was going to explain how her commie boyfriend thinks money isn't so important.

Today presidential candidate Kamala is proposing price controls on food like China, Russia, and Venezela before her. What could go wrong? If you ask Bernie Sanders, bread lines are 'a good thing' so we may be lucky enough to have that to look forward to.. Reminds me how in the end of the cold war one of the top Soviet officials visited a random grocery store in Texas, saw all the abundant fresh food and thought that he was being set up with a fake store front like a Potemkin village. Capitalism won the cold war, not bombs.

Agreed. I think they could have used him for the episode where Elaine is trying to get that supreme flounder delivered outside of delivery zone.

Same thing with "the bIack boyfriend" (that turned out not being bIack) she kept saying she had: Elaine is not a good person.
I think she thought it was cool in a subversive way.
Because she can't resist dating a bad seed
Because she's narcissistic
