A few weeks ago I was reading this Discourse (in other words, former Splinter) article and that author mentioned

I’m so used to seeing io9 report on something after The A.V. Club that I’m surprised to see that io9 covered this earlier. Cool.

is there potentially something on the menu worth looking forward to?

I partially agree that the HRC2016 campaign was also running as a third Obama term. She was trying to run for her first term which would be similar to, but just slightly different from, Bill and Barack’s 2 terms. Biden2020 on the other hand had one card in his deck (“I worked for Obama!”) and he just kept playing that…

I saw another Jezebel article within the last 24 or 48 hours that also linked to the Daily Mail so I give up on commenting on it. It’s their site, if they want to link to racist propaganda outlets, they can keep doing so.

I just returned to working in formal education this year so 1) I have terrible timing 2) I am likewise very interested in knowing when in-person education is back.

“despite his reputed appeal to blue-collar workers, has made little to no progress in winning back the white voters without a college degree who supported Barack Obama in 2012 but swung to Mr. Trump in 2016.” Remind me again how Biden was the only electable one?

I’m sorry if my comment made it sound like I’ve heard anything definitive about what California’s social distancing will look like in March or April 2021. I can’t have heard such a thing because right now there is nothing definitive. I was stating that it is possible that current restrictions will still be in effect.…

US conservatives have, for decades, defined “socialism” as any taxpayer-funded program they don’t like. Any taxpayer-funded program they do like (the military, law enforcement, roads...) is cool.

Every so often we need a medical doctor in the news to remind humans that being a doctor doesn’t mean a person is good. Rand is one more example of a medical doctor who is a sociopath.

It’s entirely possible the world will have so thoroughly turned on its ear. Since California and Florida public health edicts come from fairly different administrations I can’t see into the future for both but speaking as a Californian our state is being very cautious right now. The current situation, or at least…

In a country that wasn’t openly flirting with fascism, a politician who so openly displays contempt for the health and safety of other humans would just be shameful. All of us would feel ashamed for the guy. We’d recognize that he’s a tool. That’d be the news story.

There are a lot of false narratives in politics and one of them is, indeed, the narrative that a candidate is 100% responsible for everything their “supporters” say.

Punching down is so much of the modern Republican platform that we don’t need to label toxic Republican voters with any qualifiers, they’re just Republicans. There will be toxic Democratic voters of any candidate and campaigns are stuck in the unenviable position of
1 wanting as many supporters as possible
2 not having…

that kind of thing will drive readers/eyeballs away from your site eventually.

It’s uncanny how brilliant this coronavirus is!

Why is there a link to the Daily Mail in this barf bag? We don’t have to give Internet traffic to racist propaganda outlets.

Big fan of the link to a Marx essay.

Biden’s campaign is a summation of what the Democratic Party is, has been, and is evidently content in continuing to be.
