lol good thing that American poor people live in other cheaper countries. Uhh how does GDP or employment constitute good centrist policy? When there are millions of people that aren’t making a living wage does any of that shit really matter? Also the proportion of the population that is employed is actually still…

LOL. Please name anyone in the US government that is to the left. Please also point to me a moment in US history where the ideology has shifted to even slightly left besides the New Deal era.
 

sorry some context. apparently Ryan fired him because he invited a Mulsim cleric to do a prayer.

This isn’t an original idea but I think it’s important to repeat: the mainstream media almost never calls out how most members of the GOP are frothing Islamaphobes (see: Mike Pompeo).

Why is Nancy Pelosi still minority leader? If there was anymore of a reason for her to resign it would be her endless posturing about how Trump is uniquely evil and then voting against a law that would restrict the massive spy apparatus at his disposal.

I think most people in this country want free healthcare and college, want corporate money out of elections, more investment in infrastructure (not military infrastructure), etc. Centrists are against it all.

What good have centrists brought us the last.... ever?

After like 8 years of failure down ballot you would think that Pelosi would be out of a job. Alas, this is Washington where people fail upwards.

HUH????? Christian charity at heart?

UUUUUUUUUUUUHHHH WHAAAAAAAAAAA?

The thing is though that the Democratic primary candidates are far stronger than the ones against Clinton or Obama.

Why not just ban plastic bags? Don’t pass the financial burden (albeit minuscule) onto the population.

One should be asking what are the ethics of merely debating torture? Can you really be considered an ethical leader if you allow such practices to happen under your watch? James Comey is an authoritarian ghoul, grotesquely leeching onto the former-official-in-Trump-presidency racket.

Further reading on how the Clinton Campaign played a part in the press taking dipshits like Trump, Cruz and Carson seriously:

Can we all take a second to appreciate how insanely gross Guiliani’s bottom teeth are in the picture in the article that is linked through the word “maniac”

I agree that there is laziness when it comes to main stream media; they want to hold up an establishment guy as being a thoughtful, civil public servant or even establishment talking points because that’s the path of least resistance. However, I think that there are some policies that are a direct threat to their…

Unfortunately James Bennett was talking about the entire New York Times when he said that they are pro-capitalism.

The naivety seems to be a bit of a problem over at Vox. Matt Yglesias wrote a glowing article about James Comey yesterday. He seems to think that the former director of a notoriously authoritarian organization will save us from Trump.

I don’t think conservatives are *working* the media. Most executives within these media conglomerates are center, center right wing because in the end they are corporations trying to make money. Corporations are not going to employ anyone that is going to try and subvert their agenda.

I’ve been waiting for over a year now for the media to cover the serious shit that the White House is pulling.
