It is amazing to me how many such opportunities there are, and how seldom the Democrats take advantage.

You thought Sarah was insane and combative? Just wait for the Info-wars White House Press Briefing tm.

We’re literally the only developed country on the planet relying solely on private insurance for the majority of its citizens, and we pay about double per capita for healthcare compared with the rest of the developed world.

You know, it would be nice to have a conversation about the difference between socialism, social democracy, democratic socialism, planned vs mixed economies, but after the right wing railing for years about how anything left of Reagan was “socialist/communist”, I feel like everyone is just giving in and saying “sure,…

What’s the best way to ask Michael Harriot a question in his capacity as a wypipologist?

A LOT of companies are doing this now.  Why hang onto your best employees when you can hire someone off the street to do the job for much less?
