"I change my affiliation often twice a year in order to vote in different primaries."

One ellipsis! That's not a no! I'll take it.

So if Trump continues to be so utterly transparent about using social issues to get people to vote against their own economic interests, maybe people will start catching on? Right? Right? Any modicum of hope here would be great, folks.

Yeah, my primary interest here is in the absurdity. Absurdity abounds. So much absurdity in the zeitgeist.

First, I would like to say that I totally agree.

Yeah, it changes nothing. We will still just have some person whose job it is to defend a neverending stream of lies and to attack the press for doing what they are supposed to do.

Believe it or not, that did not cheer me up very much. But yes, other places are also terrible.

This is such an accurate assessment of my feelings that a single upvote feels underwhelming in response. Stupid hope.

This is the worst. The worst. Republican Senators are the worst. America is the worst. I have no other words.

But, hey guys, don't worry, health care will definitely get fixed, because our sitting president, the leader of the free world (?) totally knows how health insurance works:

On the other hand, I am sure that Trump has not spent much time in parts of NYC that are not Manhattan in many a year. I'm going to guesstimate that to him, NYC consists of a small swath between 23rd St. and 72nd St. Definitely nothing above Columbia or below Soho.

:(

Yeah, at this point McConnell takes the cake for disliked in my book, because he is more actively subverting of democracy. Ryan is just someone whose ideas I think aren't very good and who isn't actively standing up for democracy enough.

Yeah, when I was in college, I enjoyed hearing crazy ideas. I didn't believe all of them, but that was what I was there for. Smart people ranting about random things.

"some of them more hate how colleges are often run"

I agree, more or less, but as someone said here yesterday, "just opposing Trump" is not something that I take as a negative. It's equivalent to defending our democracy right now. Theoretically, Congressional Republicans should be doing the same thing, but they're not, so it falls on the Dems alone, and takes up a big…

"she's ostensibly Catholic while openly contradicting its teaching, "

Indivisible is doing a thing on Tuesday. Everybody join in!

I definitely agree she gets sidelined this season— she goes from being kind-of-co-lead in Season 3 firmly into secondary character territory in Season 4.
