It was one guy in Felix who apologized profusely and donated an entire month’s salary to the Center for Reproductive Rights/said he felt awful about it in general. It was stupid as hell, but they understand it and Felix goes a bit dumb sometimes.

I’m sure the comments will fill up with all of that shortly. Saying that they use slurs, pretending Virgil and Amber don’t exist, blaming a comedy podcast for the rise of fascism...can’t wait!

It was a Game of Thrones reference to establishment liberal pricks that includes everyone in the center you moron

And without the left-punching and factual errors that almost every other article about Chapo has.

Oh dear god please no. He’ll try so hard to convince them he’s a “reasonable” liberal, end up agreeing with basically everything they say because he’s not used to getting challenged from the left with valid arguments, end up with some bullshit “See we’re all on the same side here, we just disagree on minor details!”…

I despise the term “bernie bro”. Maybe because it’s meant to disparage people like me. The corporate Democratic Party is a failure and their rejection of policies they deem to be “too socialist” will keep that failure going towards annihilation. The base of the Progressive coalition is a fair economic system that…

Before I even read any of the comments.

Barry is right about the Twitter bio thing. https://web.archive.org/web/20170707174909/twitter.com/jysexton

But why would anyone ever try to pursue independent journalism? Better to leave this kind of thing to the experts from the subpage of a snark-based sports blog.

Me too! I did the exact same thing. Shame on me.

Yeah, I gotta be honest, I saw JYS’s tweets and felt kinda bad for him, because I thought the article was about to publish under his byline in the Times. Only by reading this very blog did I realize he wasn’t officially involved.

He gave credit (and made multiple disclosures like this) after being called out for misrepresenting himself as a Times reporter in his bio (or at least for accidentally misleading people to believe he was). A lot of people thought he was one of the Times writers on the big stories this week!

“I have a book coming out...”

Wow...I had just assumed that guy was the NYT reporter and he was mildly annoyed that Trump Junior preempted his story by a few minutes. Never even checked whether that was just some random non-NYT journalist who never had the emails in the first place.

Jesus, libertarians like you are going to get us all killed. Go ahead and keep not voting Democrat because Socialism!, and watch the Trumpists create a one-party state because the left couldn’t unify to resist it.

You can have pro-choice rights for women, marriage equality, and lower taxes and smaller government. You can support that. You’re missing one of Hamilton’s points: compromising for the sake of bipartisanship means that your position on an issue doesn’t really matter, since you are willing to give it up for the sake…

This is a very naive and idealistic viewpoint. I want a house on the moon, but I don’t have a house on the moon. I have a house I can afford near where I work.

He didn’t say you can’t have different opinions on various issues anywhere in this piece. Read it again.

But you haven’t identified bipartisan attitudes to the issues you name, you’ve identified what are currently partisan attitudes to the issues you name, it just so happens that the collection of issues don’t add up to the platform of a political party at the moment. Republican congresspeople aren’t going to spurn the…
