I don’t agree with that person’s complaint, and, generally, I agree that it’s important to review candidates’ records for what they’ve actually done, and try to glean insights about how they’d govern if they won.

This article throws a lot of different programs, different outcomes, different cases, different approaches and different prosecutors into the air - lumping them into the same paragraphs, and even the same sentences. The case that you cite in PA has a number of material differences between anything you cite in Harris’

Does this mean the next time a Democrat in a red/purple district breaks caucus to cast a meaningless face-saving vote to appease their district we’re not gonna get a bunch of thinkpieces about the evils of centrism?

If her policies are in line with mine, then she’s my candidate. Regardless of her “experience.”

No, it really doesn’t. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the country is circling the shitter. Things are more frayed at the edges of society than I’ve ever seen.

Oh, you know, that plucky 36 year old teenager, Natalie Portman, and her plucky, 56 year old sidekick, Jennifer Jason Leigh.

What the fuck are you talking about? Every person in this movie is over 30 years old, it’s not a dystopian movie, there aren’t really any heroes in it, etc., etc. It’s very, very clearly an adult science fiction movie that’s complicated, and weird, and fairly cerebral. It’s basically the exact opposite of your rant.

Annihilation (the book) also owes a decent amount to Solaris (the book).

I get what you’re saying, but a stop in government services+benefits/furloughs of non essential staff and the expiration of CHIP more than likely hurts black women, women of color, black kids, and everyone more than the expiration of DACA will.

How did Bernie get so far?

If Democrats want to avoid the stink of abusers and untouchable criminals following them to Washington, they’ve got to find a way to get there without their rancid cash.

I don’t even think you need to go with “The South Won” to tell an interesting story. Could just go with them getting astalemate, gaining some bit of sovereignty, and becoming isolated and backwards from the rest of the world

The theory is that your digestive system basically loses its ability to easily process gluten. The causes are speculative, but perhaps related to stomach flora or changes in stomach receptors. How long it takes and how often this happens is also unknown, but it does occur.

An old gutterpunk friend of mine refers to this as “spacebag” due to it’s shiny metallic surface.

This is a pretty fantastic insight, Ron Swanson of Westeros, and one I hadn’t considered. You deserve all of my internets for the day.

Based on current evidence, I’d have to say they failed spectacularly.

What are we establishing as our baseline for “op-ed” columnists? I think there are a host of good political writers who write sort of a mix of political coverage jammed together with opinion pieces. Are those op-eds, or something else? I agree with you on straightforward, “traditional” op-ed columnists.

Whatever happened to Robert Reich?

It looks like they’re likely to move Josh Barro to a regular column, which would be good (but he’s everywhere nowadays: NYT, NPR, MSNBC, Business Insider). Lord knows when he finds time to actually write.

Douthat wants people to fuck, he just wants them to be married and Catholic and not using birth control.
