Yeah, it be nice but in the absence of a complete re-design of our entire elctoraloral system that’s not an option. You can fight like hell for your gal/guy in the primaries (and at all levels of government) and then you vote on the basis of those results. You know that multi-party parliamentary systems don’t allow…

Nope, just a pragmatist and a realist. You’re the one who saw a post about “MUH PURITY!” and believed it was referencing you somehow.

The country did not elect Trump. The electoral college, heavily affected by gerrymandered district lines, put Trump in office.

“The Democratic party is a far broader and more diverse coalition than the Republican party, but we still expect our candidates to be all things to all people all the time, it’s absurd.”

Those are the types of hairs you split when you sell your soul and vote for people like Hillary

So, what should we do? Should we adopt their tools? Should we accuse Franken’s accusers of being paid political liars? Should we demand that they apologize for him for hurting his career? Should we shout “Fake news!” and go pull the lever for a known creep?

Yes, and do you remember how all of the journalists were echoing this very thing? That she is so warm, funny, relaxed in ‘real life’ but, again, I think that the conditioning that she appear strong in public was absolutely etched in her very bones. A male politician receives props for demonstrating empathy and…

A Hillary Clinton anthem, absolutely. And then she was accused of not being ‘personable’ enough, having been conditioned not to show any emotion for decades in order to be effective and survive.

“Go use your pitchfork to go after Trump and Moore”

It’s really interesting to me that all (I think?) of the women involved have specifically said they don’t want him to resign. I’m so very on the fence about this one - super gross behaviour and he should be fucking SORRY - but how do you best manifest ownership of bad behaviour, apology, and reform? And have that be…

Go for it! Go for it!

Thanks! And totally agreed. Love the back up - needed someone else (or many someone else’s) to tell me I was doing the right thing :)

 That’s awesome there your running for office. Best of luck!

Are you me? Billy was definitely the soundtrack to my first year of college....such lovely memories of my boyfriend’s dorm...and stuff. I’m glad to hear glad he and his wife are nice people.

Oh dear. I hope it all works out. Shaun Cassidy has made some of my favorite TV series, including American Gothic.

Pumpkin pie is fine. It is not the best dessert on the table, nor is it the worst. BUT GOD HELP YOU IF YOU PUT THE CULINARY CRIME KNOWN AS COOL WHIP ON MY DESSERT, YOU MONSTERS. Ice cream or whipped cream (gtfo with that canned shit, too; it is good for whippets and that’s it) or nothing.

Purgryatory. That’s wonderful. (the word — not the experience!)

So, legitimate question here (I swear, not trolling):

Is “Joe Kennedy” the anti-vaxxer Kennedy?

HRC had an 88% approval rating, which was just unheard of.
