I came here to complain that Libby Watson is again at it with trying to assure there is a circular firing squad among the left. I really did. I was working on sources to reference on why this is just how things work. I was going to try to aim for pathos and maybe ethos.

This story only says it twice, so let me say it a third time in all caps DO NOT CROP OUT PEOPLE’S FEET IN PHOTOS.

I know this will go over like a ton of bricks here.... But you lost me right at the opening proposition. 2016 wasn’t a competitive primary. And I don’t just mean that because superdelegates were all on one side. Because if I’m counting them - then it was one of the most lopsided primaries in the last few decades. But…

I just lost a lot of money on a bet that he is gay.

Splinter hit job on every candidate (seriously, except for one positive Bernie one where they wished he was more rude, they’re all hit jobs). Surprisingly this time it’s not by Libby Watson. Though I’m impressed that HamNo is apparently actually in Iowa. That shocked the hell out of me. I wonder if you realize that…

To be completely fair rep Omar really really botched her first slip up. Just really danced on the line of offensive and doubled down on the same right on the line stance. The second time was no big deal but I think people still smelled blood in the water from her first comment so it got blown out of the water. I don't…

It’s always amazing to me how that Florida has four people in government of note and they’re all bad in oddly different ways:

I have the same response to chocolate. People actively enjoy sneaking it on me. I don’t mean they ignore my requests to not add it... Generally chocolate is either the main ingredient or it’s not there at all. I mean people actively enjoy secretly smearing a chocolatey knife or fork across some of my dessert to see if…

I come on here every day trying to fight against the knee jerk reaction the writers have here to call this a coup. I’ve come out of the greys twice, both times just so the authors can tell me I’m blind to the truth and don’t realize that it’s all just a conspiracy to get oil and none of the legitimate points I made…

You have clearly not read up on the political machinations leading up to this. This is definitely not a coup. This is literally their own Constitution at work as Maduro accidentally left a loophole of power in the assembly (the only democratically elected part of their government, run by opposition parties currently,…

So your suggestion is that people who have tried to raise money from citizens who wish to donate large amounts of money are harder to trust? That you would be skeptical of policies they suggest that are (potentially)exactly what people have asked for because they have tried to fund raise from richer sources of funds?…

That sound you hear is 85% of the splinter readership engaging in furious onanism. As someone who doesn’t find particular view of how progressive plans should be organized, he doesn’t impress me because my desired approach is much different. So let me ask the general public here: do we think he will still cause the rab…

But.... Progressive activism isn’t even that big in NYC (from a relative population not a gross population perspective). Thats just frim DSAs own acknowledgement. Demographics and a lack of any actual campaigning against her are so much more at play than anything else for AOCs victory. If there were districts that…

So open conflict of interest up front. I’m a doctor. The big issue I always run into when discussing cost structures is issues like the SGR. For those unaware for 18 (1997 to 2015)years all doctors had their medicare payments watched by the government through something called the sustainable growth rate. Prior to that…

I used to work at a Chili’s in almost got fired over something similar but much more stupid. Essentially, there was a group of five people. 3 people who are obviously brothers, and two girlfriends. They are celebrating something and racking up quite a large bill. Something like $200. Which is a bit hard to do at…

Technically he was in Columbia South Carolina in that photo from MLK day. And it was 60 degrees at the time. So now I just have photographic evidence that Bernie Sanders gets cold unusually easily.

The remove them all to Poland and brooklyn line wasn’t sarcastic. This was laid out as an entire plan. Just take my word for it, or look up his context for it. But, I have to admit, it would make a hysterical joke if said sarcastically while drinking with friends discussing the Arab Israeli conflict for fun.

Im about as mainstream Democrat as they come. And not Jewish (if it matters). No horse in this race. But she does seem to hang with pretty extreme friends. To answer for what sources I’m calling the more reasonable end: Washington times (legit but definitely right wing), washington free beacon (only covers right wing…

This particular article doesn’t really address it, so I’m not sure if it’s off topic to bring this up, but she does have a serious issue with being (or appearing) extremely *extremely* pro-palestine. Probably to an extremist point of view. And yes, you would expect strong support given that she’s Palestinian, but not…

Guaido is very popular there. Are you living in some alternate reality world? About the only part you got right is that he was not well known until recently. But that's because he rose to power recently after everyone above him was jailed. Cant have a president who is currently being tortured in Caracas. If Juan…
