I definitely missed your point. Such is life.

In response to one, yes. If you say “cruise ship sales are down because the Earth is flat,” I will say, “no, its because the way the sun revolves around the Earth has changed.” Bill Belichick or the Patriots are not in any way responsible for declining ratings.

Patriots games get big ratings though.

exactly right... cuz this is kindergarten and 2 wrongs totally make a right... here’s an idea... instead of constantly - ad nauseum, in fact - answering something like this with the effective equivalent of “nuh uh, he did it too!!”, how about just shutting the hell up and doing the right thing yourself... start with…

Can’t anyone just be wrong anymore? Do they also have to be a “fucking idiot”?

Posted this over at the slot, and I will repost it here:

Youre trying to be rational in a Trump Administration era Jezebel... You’d have a less painful experience in a North Korean labor camp than you will trying that here.

Don’t bother engaging them in meaningful discussion right now. They just want to name call and rage and lash out at anyone who did not vote for Clinton.

If Hillary would have carried herself during the entire campaign the way she carried herself during this morning’s speech, I wouldn’t be the one paying for a nice dinner in the near future.

It takes a real “smug asshole” to blame actual voters. Not the people who stayed at home. Not the people who voted for “the other candidate.” Not the candidate herself.

Election isn’t an entitlement.

If that makes you feel good.

The candidate was capable and qualified...but also flawed and mired in a swath of scandals and problems. Clinton was abhorrent to independents and as I said multiple times during the Democratic primaries, doesn’t excite anyone outside of her own party. Yes, this is Democrats fault, they once again put out a crappy…

I mean, at this point Clinton and Johnson have the same chance of winning (0%). So I suppose a vote for either candidate was a wasted vote.

Thanks!! you are spot on. The dems need to fix their party but also americans need to come togethet to fix their political system. also. call me crazy but maybe something needs to be done about the media, the anti intellectualism, the racism and the me me me anti community culture that exists in american society.

All this really is...

Folks are angry and lashing out at whatever is at arms’ length. Johnson wasn’t the tipping point. I remember dismissing an article talking about the new white bigoted voters who in past elections didnt’ vote but were projected to come out for Trump. The author said they were going to be the tipping point. They were…

Seriously? This shit again?

Johnson is the symptom, not the disease, just like Sanders was.
