Or, alternatively, start to campaign on ideas that hold appeal outside of Brooklyn and San Francisco. 

People should take a deep breath and learn a bit about the history of gerrymandering. First, it’s been going on for nearly the entire history of the republic. The very name goes back to the early 19th century. Second, the modern re-incarnation of Gerrymandering was done, largely by democrats, in the 80s and 90s to…

LMAO, gerry mandering has NOTHING to do with presidential or senate elections as those are statewide elections. Gerrymandering only affects House races because the only thing being gerrymandered is... Congressional districts.

It is ironic that the offers of help are intended more to shame the woman than to help a person who needed help before the picture was taken. All of those helpers have certainly walked by many in his position and turned their eyes away; hatred is a unifying force indeed.

Ah, and finally Splinter weighs in on Crowder managing to provoke Vox t0 go full scorched earth and destroy tons of left wing peoples’ livelihoods in their campaign to stifle somebody’s ability to criticize a person and the horrific job they do as supposed “journalists.” Then again, why should anybody be surprised?…

Wonder if anyone will bring up the latest google leaks

Yeah that district can keep electing politicians that drive away tens of thousands of jobs and demand higher taxes, support open borders (a policy designed explicitly to lower wages for the bottom 20%), and be big fans of various fascist leaders around the world, all to own the conservatives!

Solution: empty the entire population of Mexico and all 0f South America into the United States.

This is a tragedy, and I wish I had a better answer to this but I have to ask...

The lack of outrage around the allegations even from Democrats is bizarre.

Anybody who's on the fence about the self-identified political left have a look at the amount of direct insults versus the amount of well articulated thoughts that are put forth as responses to any idea that isn't a far left talking point.

Why are Democrats holding up the aid bill then? They should have the votes, but sadly I predict they will be going on their vacation without helping the children or preventing this from happening!

NAFTA placed Mexico on the same economic level with the US as Canada. If this isn’t the case, then the Mexico-US border should be more guarded anyway.

Reminder that there are at least 5 major population centers on the shortest route between El Salvador and Brownsville that this family could have lived in and been happy. There is a problem at the border because Mexico is more than happy to shuttle these immigrants through and neither major party wants to fix the…

“little girl drowns in the river because this country would not open its arms to her”

I look forward to tons of whataboutism in the comments. Take a drink every time some moron mentions the murder rate in Chicago or calls the cops corrupt in order to deflect.

The really upsetting thing about this story is, what if the police had just happened to find 2 random white dudes walking in that part of chicago? I could see jusse going (Score!) “Uhh yea that looks just like them, those are the racists who attacked me”! and they’d be on their way to prison right now for a hate crime…

would love to know what the Splinter gang considers humane enforcement practices. I’m sure they totally exist 

“Donald Trump and the polarizing and divisive nature of his rhetoric and policies.”

I know, can you imagine? It’s almost the same as if Deadspin wrote a mediocre basketblog post or two, received mild but arguably legitimate criticism, and then deleted those criticizing threads and/or blocked those commenters. I know—as non Diaper Babies, you would never let that happen, so it’s not a perfect analogy*.…
