They’re open

I have been following their coverage pretty closely (because I love France and I writing an article on the French election) and it’s been sort of fascinating to try explain the nuances to otherwise smart liberals who have been burned. A lot of people forget that the day before Clinton/Trump FiveThirtyEight literally

Oh I didn’t know that! That’s is fucking insane to me though. Super delegates are, by design, are not just suppose to vote how the state went in the primary. Franken politics and profile are progressive as fuck. This is why we can’t have nice things.

I think Sherrod was better on paper than in person. Weirdly his politics tracked really well with Bernie/Bernie supporters but I don’t think people were familiar enough with them for it to have closed the gap as much as Franken might have. But this is all speculative so who knows!

I defend Hillary endlessly but the one time I get really legitimately angry at her during the campaign was when she announced Kaine as her running mate. Which is not a dig against him, per se, but it was such a clearly tone-deaf choice in VP. She needed to bring the Bernie people in, I am not sure who could have done

Yeah under the 22nd Amendment Presidents can only be elected to two four-year terms but it only went into effect in 1951 hence Franklin Delano’s four successful elections!

They could really mix it up do a little Ivanka 2032, Jared 2036, Ivanka 2040, Jared 2040! The Putin method!!!

HOW THE FUCK AM I JUST HEARING ABOUT THIS?! Can we make a GoFundMe page or some shit??!

Worse than that! The split for undecided voters takes a nose-dive with his announcement. The breakdown of people who disliked both candidates was breaking closer to 50/50 before the announcement. After Comey’s bullshit letter Hillary tanked with those voters losing them 2 to 1. If the breakdown had even been like 6/4

I also think this is a big misconception of the election. I remember a post like 2 days before the election titled something like “Trump is only a standard polling error away from winning the presidency.” Essentially, based on their model, Hillary was up about 4 percent in the national popular vote but it was tighter

Yeah he’s a disgusting human being and also incredibly fuckin stupid. I loved the Samantha Bee expose of him— in addition to being a literal fucking Nazi he’s a faux-intellectual whose totally unqualified. Of all the evil people in the Trump administration, this second-rate aspiring Bond villain is the most

No it’s not really hard to hold it against him at all. I thought it was stupid when Hillary did it in 2008 (when she actually received more primary votes than Obama), I thought it was even dumber when Sanders did it in 2016.If some democratic candidate does it against in 2020 I’ll <gasp!> still think it’s idiotic and

I said it above but he also appointed Comey...talk about a unforced error

He also appointed a Republican Fuckwit (Comey) to lead the FBI. Would a fucking Republican ever do something so stupid?

Woah this may be the most utterly humorless response I have ever seen  

Fuck depressingly true

Preach. I genuinely agree with 99.99% of his positions but more and more I am realizing there is something really nasty about him. The primary shit once his candidacy was no longer viable really did hurt Hillary in the general and I think he’s more obsessed with his brand than actual legislative success

I honestly don’t remember the roommate’s name. Sowwy!

Oh sorry I thought it was clear. His roommate was banging congressman Schock (R-Twink).

I totally agree with what he’s saying about supporting the best candidate which means you aren’t necessarily going to agree with them on everything but this seems deeply hypocritical given HIS OWN track record! The New Republic had a really good summary of what the guiding philosophy for rebuilding the Democratic
