I bet you feel très cool now.

The shitty thing is that they can legitimately respond with "We are casting our vote in accordance with the popular vote… of the state we represent."

Putting the White House in the hands of gerrymandering is a step in the exact opposite direction.

That's pretty much always the answer to "Why do we have this bullshit system that stymies democracy?" in this country.

Well, they're the most popular of the politically outspoken bands. To use two of my favorites, Rise Against hasn't been on the Hot 100 since 2011; Flobots since 2008. They're still making music, but it's just not in the mainstream.

Can we in the North try to get the South to secede again? I'll even fight for their side, if need be.

Also, there is no such thing as the Macy's Day Parade.

Sounds like you need to listen to Jackson Park Express by "Weird Al".

I'm just bemoaning what I see as a great loss.

The federal courts currently have 103 vacancies, with 59 Obama nominees pending because the Senate Republicans think a Democratic President doesn't have the right to appoint justices.

It's not going to take much for Trump's followers to turn on him.

I think the exclamation points denote sarcasm, but just in case they don't, Al is not related to Frankie.

And "Pay no attention to the fact that I committed fraud on a massive scale, stealing tens of millions of dollars from people."

Well said!

"Democrats need to learn to understand the Trump voters."

Yep. And many of the blue seats are in hard-red states. In a very good year, the Democrats should lose about 3 seats. In a very bad year, 10 is an outside possibility.

Learn to speak to blisteringly stupid people.

Yep. It's not even "they're so lazy they didn't even animate it," it's "they're so lazy they just pulled a clip from YouTube and talked over it for a couple of minutes."

I loved Baseball Stars, but it was too easy just to play the Lovely Ladies every time to load up on money.

Terraforming Earth would be easier than terraforming Mars by a factor of, what, thousands? Millions? But we figure "hey, let's just keep destroying this planet because we can always find another one."
