Should people that tattoo their face be banned from having a job? Of course not. But reality is what it is, you’re going to be automatically shut out of the *vast* majority of career paths with that one choice. So you better be prepared to own it.

I’m not a Sanders supporter, but that’s both surprising and disappointing.

I really wish Pareene published more. I was really excited when he came back, but he hasn’t done much (on the front side) since coming back. (I know, I know, he probably has a MEGATON of other responsibilities)

The superdelegate system is stupid, but here’s the irony of complaining about it with regard to Bernie Sanders; without the open primaries that are the only thing giving him a chance, they wouldn’t have been created in the first place.

Gawd, Andrew Sullivan’s such a conundrum. He was never, like, sorta-right or sorta-wrong. He was always really, really right, or, more often, really, really fucking wrong.

Seriously; anyone who thought about this premise in the context of the larger gaming world for more than 30 seconds could see some big potential problems with it.

Oh, I didn’t say it was a good plan.

My guess is that she also sees this run as key to winning a legislative position (Senator or House) down the road. Which, I mean, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, but okay.

In a Sanders vs Trump (or maybe even Cruz) race, where the main candidates are basically all proposing wildly infeasible things, I don’t think a relatively moderate billionaire with a reputation (earned or not) for getting shit done is necessarily as crazy as it sounds. Especially in a Trump v Sanders race, you…

I made this argument in a response, but here’s a slightly longer version.

My counterpoint to that is that, no matter what, her political opponents on all sides will tear it apart, repeat things out of context, cast aspersions on flimsy ground, etc. We’ll get a 5,000 word Gawker hit piece on how “we’re not saying we’re in the tank for Sanders, but we’re totally in the tank for Sanders”.…

Heh. Agreed.

No, I know that - I’ve had this discussion with friends of mine who read Jacobin regularly. I just find it really weird. It’d be like naming your magazine Bolshevik. It’s like, those people weren’t actually good for left-wing causes, you know?

As a side note, it’s really weird to see liberals quoting from and linking to a magazine called the Jacobin. Doesn’t anyone pay attention to history?

No one’s going to want to talk about it, but I’m all-in with you. I’m Golikehellmachine, and I approve this message.

I... totally and completely agree. Like, I don’t think it’s likely that the 32nd Democratic Debate, Hosted by PlayStation, is going to really change opinions at this point.

Edit: That’s probably harsher than I mean to come across, but somewhere between 5-10PM this evening I hit my limit with Sanders and his supporters, and have lost the capacity to discuss him rationally.

If all of that bothers you, you’re going to be really pissed when you come across Sanders’ campaign manager’s statements.

Ah, I see, so, really, you’re just a fuckwit who wants to yell at people on the internet and demonstrate your imagined reading comprehension superiority. Got it!
