Yeah, I’m still beyond flabbergasted at her decision to do this. I can’t, and won’t, even try to explain this one.

Powerful piece, Nick. Thanks for writing.

This is the most “white people shit” ever. A couple generations ago, a single drop of Native blood would get you thrown out of the family. Now she wants to “claim” it so she can wear it like a scarf.

In this instance, it very much is! This is widely being read as a starting gun for her 2020 campaign, and she used it to acquiesce to Trump essentially daring her to offer her genetic makeup as Proof for public consumption. That’s a silly unforced error to me.

so what you’re saying is, this whole DNA test thing is a net positive. i just want to get this straight

STOP NO GO AWAY ARRRRRRRGH

More registered democrats voted for Trump than for 3rd party candidate or than those who didn’t vote at all.

this was proven as a hoax. Please stop helping the other side. You look like a birther with this shit.

I dont give a shit about this guy anymore. We help Saudi Arabia create a famine that’s starving thousands of Yemeni kids, the Post writes like three articles about it. But one journalist gets assassinated and it’s like hundreds of articles decrying this apparent breach of international etiquette. Saudi Arabia is…

Yeah, Russia conspired to prevent Clinton from campaigning in the Midwest...

Sure, if you’re a moron and ignore the DNC thumb on the scale. But feel free to try to energize the base for 2020 with yet another milquetoast limp-dicked centrist. What could possibly go wrong?

Whatever you think of cynical centrism, Biden crossed a line. This is not acceptable. GWB pushed through Kavanaugh’s confirmation. He is also a war criminal who sent thousands to their death under the guise of the “War on Terror” and anti-brown, anti-Islam sentiment. Trump inherited this virulent sentiment. And now…

Yes, by all means, keep blaming the people that didn’t blindly vote for a candidate simply because they had a “D” next to their name. And keep shaming people into voting for the same assholes that got us into this mess by forcing an unelectable candidate on us and enabling the Republican President. Because here’s the…

They mounted as effective a campaign against Kavanaugh as could be made

Cowards always lose. The Democrats keep losing. This motherfucker lied to a Senate committee and Leahy uncovered the lies he made years ago and nothing but shaking heads. They could be out demanding a criminal investigation. They do nothing. When is the line when these spineless turds make a principled stand? The…

No, he’s 100% fucking right. These damn purity tests and Ugh Hillary bullshit is a big reason we’re in this mess. 

If Obama didn’t fail the Progressives before that, I’m sure two years ago you would have had them. Don’t start the clock when it makes your argument look good. Consider that time started long ago

This is some weak ass bullshit.

If your lesson from this is that the Democrats failed you, grow the fuck up.

appealing to these people to stand up for themselves is pointless: They’re in every bit as much denial as the conservatives who maintain that climate change is a “hoax.”  The only people worth your time at this point are people who have been labeled “radical” and banished from the mainstream discourse...
