I’m not a vegetarian, but I deeply love the Houston’s/Hillstone veggie burger (I grew up in Phoenix and confusingly one remained a Houston’s and the other became a Hillstone, but they mostly seem the same with similar menus?). It’s honestly one of my favorite “burgers” out there, especially when you add Canadian bacon.

OMG THANK YOU. Sorry for the all-caps. But the whole “Biden is the most electable” claptrap is garbage. A large part of the Democratic wave in 2018 (I’m calling it a wave, despite the Senate) was the fact that many of the candidates gave voters a reason to be excited about them beyond just voting for them as a rebuke…

Well so far she’s been doing pretty well, gaining on Bernie and Biden, and also managing to sell policies that are maybe only right of Bernie to more than just progressives. The Native heritage issue was a massive self-own, especially when there is very little evidence of her using it for any sort of gain (she didn’t…

Good point. Although at least part of the “bad faith” of his negotiating stance is that he understands enough about the topic at hand to meaningfully enter into negotiations. You can’t negotiate with someone who changes his mind based on whichever Fox News host he happened to most recently watch.

Yes, because allowing students to live with students of similar backgrounds is remotely the same as the white identity politics of racial grievance practiced by Trump and his supporters. Please stop trying to pretend you have a clue what you are talking about. 

Yes because the scary professors on college campuses really run the government or something. Academia has been a leftist/progressive boogey man since at least the ‘50s (and really for centuries) yet by and large most students graduate and become less progressive and the professors stay put in their ivory towers and…

WTF? I can’t believe that he still manages to shock me with the idiocy of some of his tweets. You think I would have been inured to it by now...

While I wish this would happen more and that more members of the media wouldn’t treat him like he was serious about anything he said, I don’t really see much to gain from them showing us how stupid he is. Those of us who would respond positively don’t need the media to explain what we can see and hear on our own and…

So what about the current left is full-blown socialism? Last time I checked not even Bernie Sanders is threatening to take the means of production from private owners and hand it over to the state. 

If anyone practices identity politics, its Trump and the Republican Party. I fail to see how being inclusive and open to the concerns of non-white voters is somehow worse than trying to use minorities as a wedge issue to rile up your base’s hatred.

While Trump probably has no idea what the issue is with IP and China, that actually is a big problem that he is in no way successfully addressing with his idiotic tariffs. Who would negotiate with this clown on anything? Not only is he too stupid to actually negotiate with, he’s so obviously negotiating in bad faith…

I think she’s one of the more underappreciated actors out there right now. She always elevates what she’s in and since she’s taken more care about her roles, she’s done a really good job of curating an interesting list of credits over the last 10-15 years.

Because by giving money to Chick Fil-A you are giving money to the Cathy family, which in turn gives it to organizations that fight against LGBT rights. If you support LGBT rights, you have at least accept the moral issue of lining the pockets of a family that actively fights against them.

I think Pill Club is being a bit hyperbolic here in order to drive public anger against CVSCaremark in what seems to be a relatively normal negotiation between two for-profit companies about pricing. CVS is simply trying to pay less per pill for Pill Club pills and Pill Club doesn’t want to let them. Sure, CVS is…

But why shouldn’t it be straight-up cash? Anything else would be patronizing, as though Black people somehow don’t know what to do with cash and thus the government should tell them what to do. For example, if reparations came in the form of college tuition/discounted student loans, that would still be problematic as…

I mean I guess. On the other hand, Coates’s piece was largely written for a White audience, and I would argue that most Black Americans are fully aware of the debt they are owed by this nation and don’t need a commission to explain it to them. As useful as a commission could be in laying out the facts of the situation…

Thank you. Williamson is no more or less legitimate of a candidate than most of the candidates up there besides the top group. To the extent she has problematic positions, which she does, they are legion, she’s not really talking about them on the stage so why should I care when its clear she isn’t going to get…

Here’s the thing though, why do any of the interchangeable white moderate also-ran dudes gunning for the Biden replacement spot have more of a right to be on the stage than Williamson? She absolutely should not win the nomination, but (and I know its a big but because of all the woo woo nonsense she also believes in)…

Stories like this piss me off even more about this scam. There are many kids out there who should be able to apply for need-based aid without being tied to the assets of their parents, but because parents typically have to be somewhat on board for jumping through the legal hoops for emancipation (and because some…

I agree that there should be some way for applicants to demonstrate hardship in getting their parents’ financial information, but how else are you going to determine financial need?
