Sometimes there’s just no way around it though. I’m an attorney that deals with international legal cases. My client, a Japanese corporation, has data I need to look at that cannot, under any circumstances, enter the US jurisdiction. Meaning, in order to do work for my client, I needed to physically go to Japan, which…

I agree; too many people were spending hours packing their crap, arriving hours early at the airport, subjecting themselves to invasive TSA screening, then being herded like cattle into overcrowded planes, enduring flight diversions, cancellations, and overbookings, spending hundreds of dollars, etc....for no real…

That’s really, ultimately, the point.

It’s a microcosm of the moral failure of capitalism writ large....the capitalist system has produced an enormous amount of wealth, more than at any other time, and enabled the production of an enormous amount of shit and an incredibly high average standard of living, and yet there are still hundreds of millions of…

Yes. Capitalism uses such language to shift the burden away from those who wield money and power onto the everyone else, so the failures can’t be pinned on them. Even going as far as making it sound like a moral failing, as you pointed out, which is so insidious and cynical. Because what if people really started to…

There is more than enough wealth in this country to prevent widespread destitution while we endure the economic slowdown necessarily required to slow the spread of the disease and prevent hundreds of thousands, or millions, of unnecessary death. Essential production would continue (with “essential” almost certainly…

Because Harris is the subject of this column, so this is the right time to comment on her deficiencies. When I see a column about Amy, I’ll point out there that she has been an establishment ghoul too. You’re just playing the whataboutism game here, the same game that the trolls play on this site when they demand to…

Same ole excuses & apologies from Harris supporters. Her record as a prosecutor was horrible and especially mean to black folk, not to mention her rank opportunism on race.

I take your point....My thing is that Biden won’t last two terms if he wins given his health etc. Plus, to my reading, Warren had the most progressive platform addressing black issues. Of course Sanders, overall, was the most progressive, with Castro a close second. Just my opinion.

Because Biden needs to fuck black Americans over more?

Ah, you also want her to get out of politics and do a few years rehabilitating her very soul by doing pro bono work for The Innocence Project before she does anything else? Very wise, I agree. In fact if she’d done that five years ago then she might be someone worth voting for in any part of a ticket now.

Wonder how the corona virus is affecting all the locked up black bodies in the California prison system? But never mind, it’s bad manners to link Kamala Harris to some of those black bodies.

Why Kamala though? We have people of color that are way better, I dont trust cops.......at all

Surely they could get him to drone it in.

The problem with Bernie is that he and Biden’s platforms are so different. Biden may make some minor adjustments to appease Bernie and his supporters . Bernie was on Colbert last night and said that his people and Biden’s people were talking. Then he mentioned things like free college tuition, $15 minimum wage and…

Biden is going to get wiped out by agent orange, dude cant rember shat these days, on top of his whole campaign is im not trump.

“American electorate doesn’t read policy”

i liked bernie, but just like last time, i have to vote for someone i do not and will be dealing with being blamed for their loss all over again.

Bernie is still on my primary ballot and I’m voting for him. I don’t want Bernie on the VP ticket, he is too important in the Senate, even if it’s just to be the only guy with the balls to filibuster.

FUCKING DUH DUDE. of course he’s going to fuck this up.

klobuchar would be a bad choice because she’s literally a centrist.
harris embarassed him.
stacey abrahams’ political career outside of running for governor of alabama was what?
