Nah, the bloggers here aren’t as precious as the Splinter crew. Besides, no one is attacking the author directly like they do over there. This is a debate about messaging and goals.

Me watching two people with equally shitty health plans argue that their opponents isn’t good enough

This is the claymation debate we deserve.

OMFG I need to see number 2. 

I’m pretty sure the author of this particular article is genuine. The mainstream media, not so much.

I would like to go on record that my proceeding commentary about cookies and virtue signaling is not directed at Ashley. It’s for all the Williamson stans who keep @ing me.

I can’t believe how many people are lining up to hand her cookies for violating the first rule given to white activists by communities of color.

In my experience, it typically isn’t. I speak as someone who knows plenty of these woo-woo dip shits who have virtue signalling perfected.

Make no mistake that’s exactly she’s doing when she using her air time to push her personal vision of reparations over the proposal brought (and backed) by lawmakers of the…

I don’t understand why this is surprising in any way. Especially when one considers how sperm from anonymous donors is assigned higher “value” in clinics based on factors like IQ, monetary success, physical attributes, education level, and job title.

Especially when she’s not really saying things that the candidates aren’t saying themselves. She’s just saying it differently.

Like, Warren is on record for reparations (thanks Lost Jedi for pointing that out). Multiple candidates have been, and continue to talk about Flint. Multiple candidates are talking about…

I dunno how much of her privilege was revoked here. The cop only tazed her. Having lived in OK, I’m pretty confident in saying shots would have been fired if her melanin content was higher.

Daaaw, Tim Ryan has a sad...

LOL. Someones but is still hurting from “I wrote the damn bill”. 

File this with Paul Ryan claiming Rage Against the Machine as his favorite band. We all know this is staged.

“It’s called Mid-Atlantic English (not to be confused with local accents of the Eastern seaboard), a name that describes a birthplace halfway between Britain and America. Learned in aristocratic finishing schools or taught for use in theater to the Bergmans and Hepburns who were carefully groomed in the studio system,…

It’s true that they favored the conservative Dems with time and the direction of their questions.

I was in the camp of not seeing it as realistic prior to reading his Atlantic articles. This one firmly put me in the camp that not only was it realistic, there is precedent. The chapter in his book helped answer the question of “what form would it take.”.

A cash settlement after that just seems so simplistic. It’s…

Coates with all the receipts in that piece. The expanded chapter lead up to this essay in We Were 8 Years in Power should also be required reading.

I had somehow missed Warren coming out for reparations. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Found a link and saved it for later.

lol Wut? Trying Soooo Hard. It’s cringey.
