It’s infuriating.

Don’t argue about why she lost.

Stop.

nah

I hope Chuck Schumer is ready. He’s going to be the most powerful Democrat left in our government after the inauguration.

This is so so true. It’s so annoying when people try to explain it by saying “these voters felt left behind by the economy.” I live in Kentucky. Most Trump supporters I know are relatively well off (it is true, in my experience, that many do not have college degrees, but work trade or own businesses) and white. It’s…

I said below that this is good news because it will never get 2/3 of each house and will piss off all the Republicans, but it occurs to me now that if it does somehow pass - term limits for Congress are a popular proposal - it’s a little scary. Reducing the legislature’s power relative to the executive is kind of a…

And Hillary wins the popular vote too. More people voted for her than Trump.

Eh, it’s just booing. It’s not like a fight broke out or the people in line were shouting racial slurs or threatening to hurt him or his family. Nobody threw things. All things considered, booing is pretty mild, especially considering it’s a crowd of New Yorkers. After all that Trump has said and done in this…

Generally, I try to keep abreast of things (ha, ha.) But I’m not even going to watch this one. Among the most toxic legacies of Donald Trump’s campaign is the precedent he has set for the amount of bald-faced lying a person can get away with in a Presidential campaign....

As a caveat, bear in mind that the ABC News/WaPo poll is insane. Its first poll number, from about ten days ago, had Clinton up above Trump by 12 points in the four way race, which was certainly not true. Over the next eight days that dropped down to Trump leading by one.

She... did release the e-mails. That’s what the FBI was reading to see if she should be in trouble.

They didn’t indict her because there was nothing there to indict her for. Note that this latest business is based on nothing more than learning that some emails exist. They haven’t seen them, they have no clue what they’re about. Does the fact that Alberto Freaking Gonzalez has condemned this as unethical and contrary…

Sorry, but I’m with Bill Maher: Fuck that false-equivalency, “lesser of two evils” bullshit.

You’re adorably dumb.

The vast majority of Americans have no clue how the legislative process works; on either side of the aisle. All they know is the President.

No, because as a Sanders supporter, you believe there’s a secret conspiracy headed by the DNC that coerced, blackmailed or possibly even tortured Bernie into endorsing a candidate he once did everything he could to save America from. Bernie’s like a prisoner of war - his words are manipulated by the people with the li…

If you’re a Sanders supporter, and he is a Clinton supporter, shouldn’t you currently be supporting the excutive branch candidate that he thinks will best help him accomplish his legislative branch goals?

Coming from someone who voted for Sanders in the primary and gave him $150 of my own money.

The Prestige TV Show Hot Take Economy is extremely bad and dumb, but so is arguing that the way that we talk about and depict our world in fiction is irrelevant and not worth talking about in general. Granted that many people do it in a way that is stupid and wearying - that doesn’t invalidate the broader principle…
