How is not supporting NAFTA or TPP going to stop the move towards modernization and robotics in manufacturing? Are we going to require factories to forgo modern industrial practices, to keep outdated jobs? Why don’t we bring back blacksmiths, while we’re at it?

Clinton lost the tipping point states by about 2 (not huge) stadiums full of people. It was close up until the day of. The electorate isn’t some fixed thing. People turn out, don’t turn out, vote one way, vote the other for a bunch of different reasons. Lots of people fucked up, but I don’t think Nate Silver did.

What Nate Silver does is make probability models...you don’t seem to super understand that?

Yea, and she was the favorite. Do you understand how probability works?

The House actually turns over at a much higher rate than we expect. I think truly non-partisan electoral maps would do more, but that’s not gonna happen any time soon.

He sounds like a dude upset that white dudes get too much snatch, and who decides to blame women who bang white dudes and not him--interesting subspecies of the nice guy, often blames women of his own race for racism ( like, all of it) for not sleeping with him, esp if they sleep with white dudes.

Ok i am completely talking out my ass rn but isn’t there some condition where you have water on the brain and your head gets swollen? Maybe he is implying we have large misshapen heads

I would say, considering the Sedition act, the founding fathers actually DIDN’T at first have a the same respect for a free press that we do now—even further proof that preserving American democracy is about building on what they started, not obsessively hermetically sealing our laws in the 1780s

God, it’s a fucking cooking show on HGTV, not the fucking wire. You like to yell and fight in front of fucking strangers and company? Sorry you’re trash who was raised by trash, apparently.

Let me say it again, since you seem not to have understood: it seems like the heterosexual relationships I’m used to. Not everyone has the same experience of heterosexual relationships you do. Your insistence that everything meet your prior understanding or is fake is self-centered and naive.

Hmm, in that case: maybe you want to listen to people of color when they tell you certain things are racist? Maybe you’re missing racist actions that are too close to you?

Do you deal with Orthodox/Hasidic-black relations in Brooklyn often? If not, you may want to stop speaking to motivations you don’t witness or understand.

I’ve been getting so into batch prepping veggies--it’s so boring, but I’m so much more likely to cook a good dinner if all i have to do is throw them on a sheet tray or in a pan. I gotta give a shout out to Trader Joe’s seasoning mixes--I’m a fan of the 21 seasoning salute, but basically any of the spice mixes is…

I think maybe ~you’re~ reading less into what you’re saying than you should be. The way Ina and Jeffrey behave reminds me very much of my parents, my grandparents, my parents friends—you may want to do an inventory and see if many people around you are modelling healthy relationships, as you seem to have a strong bias…

umm excuse me sweatie let’s not prosecute him for thought crimes :^)

No, by your logic a majority-black bar should welcome with open arms a KKK member up until he starts attacking people physically.

For (certain) men, they’re essentially equivalent. Both take away the right of the owner to make decisions for their uterus--only your husband should decide when you don’t have a child, donchaknow!

LMAO, an immutable characteristic isn’t the same thing as a political position (I guess pro-rape is a political position now), try again tho.

So, just to clarify, showing up at a bar in a costume that explicitly advocates and makes light of assault is a “thought crime”? What else is “thought”?

God, trolls are so lazy. IDK why they all glommed onto you.
