The world is beautiful again.

That’s an interesting article, but I don’t think it makes much of a difference in this case. Sure, having Sanders voters actually switch over to Republican membership would be worse than just losing them to disaffected non-voter status, but Hillary still can’t afford to lose them, not when they are largely taken from

No candidate is better off without any vote.

Declaring that voters who abandon the Democrats out of dislike Hillary are privileged or foolish or white or otherwise the wrong kind of people is not an effective way of preventing voters from abandoning the Democrats.

^ This. So much this.

If you are a committed Democrat (or, yes, any rational person who is naturally terrified of what a Trump presidency would mean), then that argument absolutely holds true.

Good thing the Democrats can afford to ignore those delicate votes in November!

WHAT THE FUCK.

It will be difficult for anyone to continue evolving in a country ruled by Trump because the Democrats self-destructively nominated the candidate loathed by swing voters instead of the one who appealed to them.

Suspiciously like all the white, male swing voters that the Democratic party has just made the pragmatic choice to throw away?

Good point. Bernie Sanders was indeed a Democratic candidate who did much better than Hillary with white men, a demographic that has voted solidly Repuplican for the last several elections.

You are seriously underestimating what black people feel afraid of.

The woman who wrote for People magazine for 14 years is annoyed that her work emails were concerned with nitpicking a celebrity’s appearance?

My takeaway from this article: There’s a place called Permian Basin.

What is she in the mythology of the show? Is “God” part of a race of gods, or was she once a human woman (Lucifer’s “Mary”?)

At its best this show was like nothing else on TV.
