The citizenship question would almost certainly result in underreporting of populations in areas with heavily immigrant populations, who may be afraid of reporting their citizenship status on the census. This undercount of populations in majority-Democrat districts could then lead to less political representation for…

No offense, but what sort of theoretical gymnastics does one have to do to come to the conclusion that increasing wages in low margin sectors like retail and fast food would not cost jobs? Not only is that Econ 101 type stuff but it can be seen directly over the past decade from Amazon automating away Macy’s, JC…

But he’s a gay man of color with the wrong political beliefs, so he’s obviously fair game for a beating.

She does believe Israel doesn’t have the right to exist. 

It doesn't go far enough! Ban the Patriots, Celtics and bruins too!

I know you won’t ungray this, because Splinter never does.

The problem is that people like competition and choice. You want to create an NHS style payment plan that all Americans can access if they like, great.

It is likely the fact that Nick is being disingenuous and writing in bad faith. He could also just be incredibly stupid.

“We’re not journalists, we’re bloggers!”

Splinter: “NOBODY WANTS ANOTHER OLD WHITE MAN FOR PRESIDENT”

They know how abysmal Sanders’ performance was last night. That’s why they’re keeping him on the down low.

“Boot out all the electable blues so the reds can take their place!”

This. I mean hit piece after hit piece on Biden and Harris and yet Bernie shows his ass and not a fucking peep. 

They’re bloggers. They’ve never, once, been journalists.

I mean... If we’re not going to allow supplemental insurance (something that’s huge in Canada and the UK)... how the hell do we expect to:

Eh... Medicare for All is a pipe dream that, under the most ambitious/optimistic of realistic projections is probably two decades away from being a reality. It’s a fun thing to talk about, but there isn’t a candidate on either stage capable of winning the kind of congressional majority needed to implement it in four,…

So Bernie does nothing but parrot his campaign talking points, goes full “Old Man Yells At Cloud” at a couple points, actually replies to “What would you do if Roe was overturned?” with “Medicare for All!”, and Splinter’s editorial plan is to point out how everyone else in the debate screwed up.

The other aspect that isn’t as simple as many would imagine is how SCOTUS would design any kind of fair and effective test to be used in the adjudication of future partisan gerrymandering cases. It’s one thing to channel Justice Stewart and know egregious political redistricting when you see it, but if the Court…

Oh it’s not just the rust belt. What do you think the millions of American immigrants from the Middle East, South Asia, or East Asia think when they hear these losers pandering in Spanish. This isn’t about being inclusive, it’s clearly a bunch of idiots pandering to the second largest linguistic group in the country.

As another commenter pointed out, we don’t have to look back really far to see how Democrat fortunes were impacted after they tried to change some rules.
