Yeah, the Democratic campaign professional in the thread is just a "purity troll"—it couldn't be I have a better and more sophisticated understanding of the realities of the political scene or policy than you do.

I'm thinking more just the general Ghost Rider IP. If they are still treating the TV universe as the redheaded stepchild of the corporate family, I wouldn't be surprised if Mephisto—if Mephisto is even included in the package—is the only character in that package that the film folks are immediately interested in at…

Ask anyone familiar with the day-to-day of politics if the head of a transition team is as inconsequential as you think it is.

Whoever heads a successful candidate's transition team has HUGE sway over the makeup of their administration in terms of personnel. The person she appointed to head her transition team is Ken Salazar.

It's a four person race—where the third party candidate with the largest share of votes is drawing equally from Democrats and Republicans—which is why Clinton is in danger of losing. So, there's that.

She's the wife Brad deserves, but not the one he needs right now. So she'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because she's not a hero. She's a silent guardian, a watchful protector—a dark knight.

"I guess they would say it's their choice to take drugs and the baby can't decide for itself?" The gist of this sentence—which pervades your whole argument—is you think it's wrong to vaccinate a child before it can give informed consent. If we held all things in a child's life to a similar standard, we'd be in a…

Uh, marijuana does have demonstrable medicinal value, raw marijuana doesn't really fit the spirit of the comparison. and bringing concepts like informed consent into raising a child is just batshit insane.

The text message designed to limit exposure does seem like something a handler of an anti-vaxxer idiot aging movie star would have the movie star in question do in that kind of situation, though.

You might also want to take a class in stats and really attend the sections on polling.

Yeah, the Mike Tyson diction and sentence and paragraph construction point to the "not bright" conclusion.

You do realize she actively promotes fracking, advocated for the 1990s deregulation of Wall St. that her husband signed and paved the way for the crash, she voted for Iraq, her wish for a proxy war with Iran is why Libya and Syria happened, etc?

The fact that you do not see why knowingly doing something harmful to the world community for your own gain is politically and morally worse than just being stupid really ought to make you pause before commenting on the political and moral choices of others.

You've got to work on how to be more subtly patronizing. (I've worked as a paid professional for the Democratic Party my entire adult life, have been around the Clintons and their associates, and will be voting—just not for the person who represents everything bad about what the Party has become over my lifetime.)

Again, I just feel like pointing out that you are saying we are already facing bad consequences of climate change, that we should support the one candidate in the race who has done everything in her power to fast-track projects that would result in climate-changing events anyway, and we should do that for—reasons.

Again, we're talking about a person who actively supports specific projects that could, by themselves, cause tipping points in the climate crisis. This isn't a case of her just taking money from oil companies. She's actively villainous on this issue.

Seriously, you're presenting climate change as a reason to vote Clinton and as part of your claim that all young voters who don't vote for a person who flatly denies climate science when it profits her to do so are narcissists. Can you rationally and honestly back that up?

If you think the woman who sold fracking to the world as Secretary of State and appointed Ken Salazar to head her transition team is going to be better than Trump on global warming, you're engaging in some truly bizarre thinking.

I'd argue the early years of American Horror Story and most Bryan Fuller shows can be enjoyed for being batshit insane—like how you can enjoy Hemingway's prose while having a very strict view of grammar. That is, the person behind the art gives you enough reason to believe they've mastered the basics to believe they…

They're a major multinational corporation. Like most of those, they make most of their money not from what they are set up to do but by playing sophisticated games with money and having their fingers in every pie as a result.
