Don't forget about the gas crisis Gore would've given us: there's too much gas!

As someone who lives in solidly-blue CT, I still know what you mean. I do benefit from it.

It's hard to remember sometimes that she's 26 goddamn years old. It's crazy how high her ceiling is.

Oh, you said "Attack."

I know it's not perceived well to vote for candidates without knowing much about them, but I use that logic to do just that. I try to think about which candidate in a race (or across one line on the ballot) is more likely to share similar positions with me, even when I don't know much about them. And I know for damn…

Fair. I know it sounds nitpicky, but your use of "a script" as opposed to "her script" for some reason made it seem like you were dismissing her writing, and instead were calling her out as just some drone. That's just where my mind went initially.

Aha, there it is, "might be." I hear you.

This sounds like a hedge and walkback, but I didn't necessarily mean I agree with the "there's no real choice between D and R" reasoning. It was clunky formatting, use of quotes, etc.

She plays bridge with Lady Bird Johnson's ghost every Thursday night.

LF for the Red Sox is one of the most glamorous jobs in sports. (Jason Bay too, sure, why not!)

People can disagree.

I'd have given McCain a pass on it, but the way he's operated since then has been largely pandering to an increasingly hyper-conservative base to keep his job. It might've been the start of something bad, not an isolated incident.

I believe Vox used the "the dog caught the car" analogy in analyzing the "now what?"

Hey man, those Full Frontal checks get put in HIS bank account, too.

I do tell myself that in Connecticut when I get bummed about Trump signs, especially after our primary, which was the last chance for any Trump supporter to cast a vote that will have a practical chance to affect change.

And IMO, nothing about our two-party system, lack of "real" choice, etc. will ever change if lots more people don't start "wasting" their votes.

Are/were you in an open primary state? (I'm not, which is why I ask.)

Before I settled on Stein (my registered party's candidate), I strongly considered writing in Bernie anyway. Statistically virtually meaningless, but fuck it, I wanted him to be president.

Maybe I'm just a little more idealistic. In our country, we have the right to vote for literally anybody (if you include the write-in option). As such, again, I feel that any vote you believe in is exercising that right, and therefore not wasted.

Yeah, there was a news video clip from the next day where a guy basically was shocked to learn his "Leave" vote actually mattered.
