This, and the people who keep saying, “It’s only old people, so who cares. Old people have to die to start the economy because ‘Murica.” Yeah, my dad is nearing retirement age, worked hard his whole life, and in my humble opinion, deserves to actually retire, not just die because some internet douchebag thinks Logan’s…

This breaks my damn heart. I’ve followed this story since he first became ill and was really hoping he’d pull through.

Hold up, are we not gonna talk about Trump’s new Nazi shirt?

I mean, we could all just agree to ignore the Ks. Nothing of value will be lost...

It’s like those people that voted for him that say he needs to just shut his mouth, then everything would be fine. No, he needs to keep running his racist mouth, so everyone can hear exactly who he is, and live with the stupid decision they made.

50 years of political science research says you’re wrong.

Do you have any proof at all for this theory, because I can point to basically every Democratic pick-up in 2018 as proof for the “run a moderate to take a moderate district” theorem. 

I’m not a Kentucky resident so my opinion means nothing, but I believe McGrath has a realistic chance of defeating McConnell. I like Booker more, but he has zero chance of defeating McConnell. That’s the long and short of it. If I thought McGrath had no chance to beat McConnell I probably would have (if I were a…

What counts is that she’s progressive compared to McConnell. If she beats him, it’ll all be worth it. While it would have been nice for Booker to have won, McGrath is a isn't short shrift for Kentucky. 

I don’t think Ashley (though she’s certainly not alone among Jez writers) understands how actual politics works, like with strategy and stuff. Or she does but she’s morally opposed to it or something. As if being morally opposed to something means it suddenly stops being real.

Nothing slows the economy down more than mass death.

This is for a Senate seat in Kentucky, Ashley - Not in New York or California...Jesus. Your sentence sums it up perfectly: “She supports the Affordable Care Act and wants to get McConnell out of Congress, what more can we ask for?”

Seems like strategy to me. Throw the Squad and the whole progressive machine behind Booker and measure the real appetite for the leftward shift. Set up McGrath as much less scary than who the “socialists” prefer... scare the bejeezus out of McConnell when he sees how close the race was and force him to reckon with the…

It should be pointed out that the establishment didn’t choose McGrath because they thought she might beat McConnell, but rather because she was able to raise a lot of money and would force the RNC to spend some resources in Kentucky in order to ensure McConnell’s seat. From that perspective, Booker presents an…

I must lead a pretty blessed life, because I’ve never heard of this person. It sounds like I’ll probably be fine not hearing of him again.

You can take whoever you want seriously but that wasn’t even close to the point of my comment. My comment was about how Jezebel seems to have a problem with moral purity and can be dismissive of people because of their past views, even if they no longer hold them, like Kimmel.

Obligatory reminder...

Holy shit. I was pretty sure this one would make it through. You know Trump is pissed. He’s stacked the deck and is still losing key cases.

It took what it always takes: getting hit close to home. He had to sit in a NICU (much like I had around the same time frame) and see all these other families just like his but without the benefit of all his money. Hours sitting in a chair with another family just across a curtain talking to social workers and…
