Political parties should not be a Zero-sum game and the Constitution was not written that way either. The system was not supposed be a two-party-only one, and it creates many of the problems we see today. More parties!

Regardless of whether the ideas are good or not, we NEED more political parties. The Constitution was not written to take parties into account, and the electoral system shows it. Some states are looking into Ranked-Choice Voting (Maine passed it), which should be the case everywhere. I don’t like being pigeonholed…

I’m talking about longer term. The millennials and youth vote is sharply tilting towards Democrats. The only reliable base of Republicans are retirement-age, and when they go the Republican party will have a serious problem of being outnumbered. They could fix this in many ways, and in the past they have tried to…

Since so many people are completely missing the point or strawmanning Hari, I recommend watching the actual video he made. It’s funny and thought-provoking.

It’s incredible, they destroyed the long-term survivability of the party for short-term gain.

I’m afraid you totally missed the point of Hari’s original complaint. The Simpsons could make fun of Italians, because the media is saturated with other images of Italians. There’s plenty of Asians in the media who are not the stereotypical ones shown on the Simpsons. But for decades there were NO Indian actors in the…

Everyone in NYC uses “bodega.” Come on.

It blows my mind how gullible Christians can be when it comes to Trump. So he scribbled a thank-you and they believe he read it or took it seriously? The man who cheats on his wives and says he never asked God for forgiveness?

Wait, there are still people who believe in the drain the swamp idea? Even after all these years? The con is over, they already fleeced you. That’s like people who believe The Nigerian prince will send them back all their money and more any day now in the mail.

Also that would require him to be a decent manager and he has a shocking lack of skills in that department.

I doubt that. Mocking Trump is not what offends the Rust belt, and considering the “Hillary in the gas chamber” memes this is tame.

Thanks for the reminder. Just messaged my representatives using resistBot.

The network isn’t forcing Stephanopoulous to say anything. They aren’t writing scripts for him or telling him what he can and can’t say. He doesn’t even give all that much opinion, unlike Sinclair who zooms in and delivers an opinion written by someone in corporate who forces it out of the mouths of local people.

The agreed upon international definition of civil war is at least 1000 deaths per year.

What a bunch of excuses and what-ifs. I’m half waiting for him to say what if an urgent call came in while he was driving? Anything to avoid even investigating the matter.

Wow, some responsible police setting the example for the rest of us right? Betcha they didn’t even need to investigate as the driver did the investigation of himself.

No, I’m happy it exists since we could all see this bigot out himself.

That’s a weak apology. “Hey, I made a joke about black people and watermelons, but I’m making fun of myself, don’t you get it?”

I hope it’s obvious that Trump’s explanations are absolutely worthless since he’s lied to the public so often to cover his butt. While previous presidents stretched the truth or lied by omission, Trump just makes stuff up completely. I’m positive they dropped him as a client and he’s looking for a lie he can tell to…

The Blue Lives Matter crowd keeps repeating the dumb mantra “better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.” So when’s that judging gonna start?
