Not impeaching has all the same downsides as impeachment.

I’m actually okay with how the leadership has handled this. Democrats ran and on healthcare and being a check on the Trump presidency, not specifically on impeachment. Launching impeachment proceedings in January would have looked nakedly political. Meanwhile the Administration has done everything it can to make…

You’ve been seeding this comment section with commentary:

I agree that it would be more effective.

*looks out window in Seattle*

Lets see.... No riots in the streets. No Guillotines. National voter turnout still under 50% in the last election.

 
I disagree that they’re ready to boil over. Meteor is the hero we apparently deserve. 

24% in the party overall in 2008 vs 25% of the supporters for one candidate? That’s disproportionate, not equivalent. And you think that’s a positive argument? LMAO!! 

Clinton wouldn’t have Gorsuch and Kavanaugh waiting for this case on the court right now, which is the exact reason these laws are being passed. You get a fucking grip and start taking women’s rights as seriously as you take your hatred of Hillary Clinton. Bet you consider yourself an ally huh. 

Here’s another devil we’ve been dealing with: liberal men who have been mansplaining to me for years that we will never see a federal abortion ban (including today). The ones who tell me to put my “identity politics” aside and that “women’s issues” are too delicate and lose elections. Fuck you all who don’t take this…

Trust me, stewing in his own shit definitely leaves him feeling like the better person—even when women across the nation are facing a very real attack on their rights and bodily autonomy.

Being right is more important than doing the right thing, you see.

““I’m with her” does nothing to address any of the issues surrounding “her.””

Clinton wouldn’t need the power to invalidate state laws she finds distasteful. It is enough that she wouldn’t have nominated two hard right justices to the Supreme Court who would radically shift the balance of the court. If Clinton had been elected, these state laws would be struck down under Roe and STAY struck…

You get that the two of you aren’t really agreeing, either. Right? You blame the Democratic voters for nominating a flawed candidate. Tao is blaming the flawed candidate for failing to persuade voters who are too fragile to think for themselves or ever be held to account for their choices. In reality, you’re both…

Apparently some people need a politician to come to their home state and give them a handshake and a hot dog to tell them to not make a choice against their own best interests.

“If anyone should shoulder the most responsibility for Trump, it is Hillary’s “pied piper” consultants.”

Also blunted by the fact that anybody who didn’t vote for Clinton is a moral monster. So should Team Clinton, the DNC, the remnants of Obama for America, etc. have played the game differently because some people are merely likely rather than determined to make this very bad decision? Absolutely. But identifying them…

Nobody’s claiming that anybody is “owed” a vote. Instead, the point is that how you choose to cast your vote (or not cast it) is your responsibility. And with responsibility comes the reality of accepting the consequences of your own choices. And understanding that you bear some of the blame for the outcome.

Yeah but it could have been far worse.

Well yes. This is the premise of that book “What’s the Matter With Kansas?” In order to get the masses to align with the GOP, the GOP pushes nonsense social issues (usually related to Christianity and PATRIOTISM! and racism). Thus you get generally uneducated, poorer white people siding with the super rich because lite…

THANK GOD THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HILLARY AND TRUMP, AMIRITE?!

I want the GND to succeed with the help of nuclear, not without it. At least as part of a transitionatory, mid term plan until battery capacitance is up to providing the same base load capacity. It is the safest and most reliable form of power generation.

Representative Ocasio-Cortez is right on the money in both message and tone. We’ve been in a “pay me now, or pay me later” situation for decades, and the butcher’s bill is only going to get higher the longer we put off confronting it.

I’ve definitely been guilty of being one of those, “Alright, where are we getting the…
