Good article. Even the most obtuse Trump supporter should be able to rationalize that Russia didn’t seek to influence this election in order to ensure that the strongest candidate won. They wanted (and got) the naive, exploitable guy.

I think the fact that Trump is clearly more capable of doing real damage on his way out the door, rather than just slinking away in quiet ignominy, has to factor into their equations. As far as this goes, for me, the introduction of Bannon felt like a bolt from the blue. It suddenly became clear that Trump had allies…

I don’t think any reasonable person doubts that those things would be far less likely under Clinton.

My expectations and hopes are unbelievably low. I’ll actually consider the next four years a success if there are no nuclear weapons deployed and no significant land wars. I’m assuming that the economy, the social safety net, and basic human decency are already doomed.

Baseball is the only sport that actually looks like America.

When the thought, “waiting for the right time to break it to the internet” crosses your mind, it’s a powerful sign that you have made poor life choices.

I don’t know if I’m grizzled (yet), but there’s a whole mess of us who migrated from Candlestick. We may or may not look like those old plumbers and roofers and sheetmetal guys (those guys all moved away to Antioch or Stockton or Roseville), but we were there then and we’re still here now.

Found the general asshole then!

I believe the site you want is Breitbart.com. Grow a sense of humor douchebag.

Riiiiight. Not to pander to anti-vax voters.

If it was indeed “almost identical,” your reaction sure seems a touch hypersensitive.

I voted for Stein in 2012 (it was more a vote for The Green Party than Stein to be honest) and I was really hoping that if the Greens were going to try and continue making inroads to become a viable 3rd option that they would have moved past Stein and found a more appealing candidate.

I like the idea of the Green party as a progressive alternative to the Democrats. However, I seriously doubt that Jill Stein is prepared to be President. She’s not Trump-level unqualified; she seems like a decent and reasonably well-informed person. But the country needs something more than that, which is why, even if…

My favorite definition of “progressive” is “agrees with me on all issues that I consider important to being a progressive”.

What I will never get is how Bernie supporters can’t even literally support what Bernie says and just vote for Hillary so Trump won’t be president.

Being a progressive means you hate Hillary? That’s news to me. I thought being progressive means fighting for progressive issues, not creating a purity test of which of those issues are necessary to be considered progressive.

Yesterday I watched Killer Mike stand on stage and lead a crowd at the Panorama festival in a “Fuck Trump” cheer. He was clearly angry that Bernie Sanders had lost, as he was one of his biggest supporters and had really worked on advocacy on Sanders behalf. And since he’s a damn smart guy, he also finished off by…

Not surprised. These people, many of whom are first time voters because of age or previous indifference, were told that Hillary (and not Trump) was the enemy for nearly a year. Many of the younger ones come from Republican homes where Hillary has been Public Enemy #1 since before they were born. They who are trying to…

On July 4th, ‘Murca was born and the Cardinals lost. Truly the greatest of all days.

I’m sure that Cardinals fans have much bigger things on there mind today like their epic hangovers from excessive freedominess and maybe some pesky classified emails.
