What is it you think I’m bitter about? Because I’ll bet, even in your fevered imagination, what I’m bitter about is a lot more worthy of bitterness than a mildly snarky passing comment about an above average, successful sitcom that stayed on the air 2 seasons too long.

I think you need to chill out. Jesus, are you Jenna Fischer’s uncle or something?

You seem angry...

As something that few people will take too seriously, but which nonetheless serves as a mildly entertaining diversion?  Sure, okay, thanks for this incredible input. 

With the revelations about Granda’s actual relationship with the Falwells coming to light, many people are revisiting this disjointed NYT article from 2019 exploring the intrigue behind Falwell’s endorsement of Trump in the 2016 primary, when Falwell was expected to endorse Ted Cruz ahead of the Iowa caucuses, but…

Not sure that how “heinous” a crime something is matters a whole lot to whether the person convicted of it actually did it. 

No one is accusing Ellen of being an “unrepentant monster,” and she is not just being called out for a stray mean remark from a decade ago. There are certainly intelligent discussions to be had on cancel culture and callout culture (which are basically the same thing, since few of the people who are supposedly…

Has she ever actually been on the same stage with him or been seen with him publicly since he began running for president?

Why shouldn’t they be paid?

Hence the exploitation.

Okay, but coal isn’t coming back. Like, it’s not feasible. It’s not just politicians standing in the way of coal coming back, it is that coal is a bad, inefficient source of fuel. There is no practical impediment to M4A, just a lack of political will, which can change.

I’m not one to argue that people should get more prison time, but if we are going to have a carceral system, it might as well be an equitable one. There are legions of stories about people who have done far less worse things getting far more time. It’d be great if these months-long sentences were a signal that we were…

Sure, fair points, but not actually inconsistent with what I said, which is that you aren’t that anti-Trump if you can’t bring yourself to vote for Biden. It’s the same argument with people on the left who say they can’t bring themselves to vote for Biden. There is no scenario (absent death or incapacitation) in which…

gotta say, it’s a good thing everyone here is already voting for biden, including me, because “go fuck yourself” really isn’t all that convincing, especially after you’re unable to find a single thing in biden’s career that would actually be praiseworthy from a progressive perspective.

wow incredible argument hope you have a good weekend!

You even admitted in your previous comment that it was fair to say that the article on VAWA was written to convince people not to vote for Biden.

So....you’re tired of the “progressive feminist” branding of Jezebel? You think they should change who they are so they can more fully praise Biden? This criticism doesn’t make a lot of sense given that earlier you were arguing (wrongly) that Jezebel should have been praising Biden for VAWA from a “progressive…

“I won’t be voting for President Trump,” says Republican Gov. Phil Scott of Vermont. “I have not decided, at this point, whether to cast a vote for former Vice President Biden, but it’s something that I would consider.”

Since it was written during the primary process, it may well have been written to convince people not to vote for Biden in the primaries, which seems more than fair. Beyond that, if what you’re saying is the article was written to keep people from voting for Biden in the general election (well before he was the…
