Legitimately curious what group of people you have in mind who will violently and extralegally topple the US economy in the name of wealth re-allocation. Assuming your demands for a peaceful transfer of wealth aren’t met (not only will they not be met, they’ll be ridiculed, as you must certainly know), who is gonna

Dont waste your time trying to have a serious conversation with a guy who introduces himself as an artist, particularly that dipshit. His only move is to tell people to fuck off, which undoubtedly works well when he needs to clear out his dorm room, but doesnt win many arguments...

The far right gets worked into a fucking lather when the Lords name gets taken in vain, when Trump is called out for his blatant racism and overwhelming failure as CIC, when Kaepernick kneels during the anthem, or when its suggested that maybe cops shouldnt be so willing to shoot African Americans...

Blest still hasnt been able to find gainful employment elsewhere, I see...

It’s not very often I get to say this, so I’m gonna say it now:

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, morbidly obese millenial bloggers should really consider how silly it looks when they call other folks “losers,” particularly those who have, by almost any metric save running for president, been pretty damn successful in life. Its not as bad as the Creamsicle In Chief

I feel like linking to your own articles is the journalistic equivalent of “cuz I said so, that’s why” and Splinter does it ALL THE TIME...

Voting on a MN state bill, as a MN state rep, from literally two years ago, isnt neccesarily gonna be widely known outside her home state. She could be a bit more gracious in answering the moderator’s question. A boilerplate statement affirming her common cause would more than suffice. Here, she sounds like she cant

I think he’s saying that a man who’s stylized his entire campaign as a grass-roots, populist uprising against corporate greed shouldnt have his own campaign staff griping about a greedy boss who isnt paying them what they deserve. Its a bit hypocritical and certainly tone-deaf, regardless of whether it’s Bernie's

I guess I think of swing voters as being fiscally conservative, socially liberal suburbanites who are comfortable with their lives. And this might be unfair, but I sense their 401Ks concern them a lot more than the idea of fairness. They work hard, and I think the last thing they want is for somebody to come along and

How you feel about this will no doubt depend on how you feel about the capitalism vs socialism debate, but I would expect republicans to absolutely hammer AOC, and progressives in general, for her chief of staff’s quote here, and rightfully so. If you propose a massive bill to fix climate change, but you really want

KMart, Sears, et al certainly offered an unenjoyable experience, but I feel like Amazon is as popular as it is largely due to how lazy we’ve become. We buy our groceries on Amazon, our bikes on Amazon, our computers on Amazon, our shoes. We arent just abandoning shitty retailers, we are abandoning all retailers, and

I have an idea, instead of asking an entire comment section for their address, why dont you simply post YOUR address. Or the address of your babysitter. That way, when one of us is in your neighborhood, we can stop by for a glass of milk and some Oreos, drop off some diapers for you, and offer our most sincere condolen

You’ll do nothing, not today, not tomorrow— just as you did nothing yesterday. Your bravado is embarassing, as well as misplaced. Trump has separated kids from their families, attempted to ban Muslims, but another nasty tweet is your dealbreaker? 

Believe it or not, there are women who are critical of Libby as well. See Hollylujah’s post above, or the infamous Obama thread takedown for confirmation...

Semantics aside, its a reasonable question: How do you translate a winning, progressive agenda, from a +28 Dem district, to Kentucky? Nobody seems eager to answer that...

I wasnt suggesting that the CBC offers the final word on racism in America. I am suggesting that, as a coalition of 55 men and women, they’d have a hard time endorsing someone they believe is racist in the name of political expediency...

I will say this, the fact that some progressives (admittedly, not all, but a healthy number around here) lump Pelosi into the same group as Richard Spencer is pretty compelling evidence that they are becoming incapable of nuance...

Its particularly ironic that Splinter and the “squad” continue harping about race, while literally just a few months ago, the Congressional Black Caucus backed Pelosi’s speakership bid over one of their own members, Marcia Fudge. No doubt the CBC would be happy to hear from a bunch of misguided bloggers about why they

I feel like morbidly obese bloggers should perhaps consider how ridiculous it sounds for them to call other people losers. Just spitballing though...
