So, just so we are clear here is a quick summary of Tammy Duckworth’s life:

Fellow Democrats: if you want more liberal-leaning people at the top of the ticket, you need to vote more liberal people in down the ticket. That means showing up for primaries, that means actually knowing people’s policy positions, that means writing to your representatives about issues, that means grass-roots…

I’m sure the Nats are stoked to lose their 2nd best offensive player this season and the guy who gets Daniel Murphy all those fat fastballs ahead of him.

All those people in the post last night saying that this was making Brazil look bad were something else. Yeah, there are certainly issues with police in Brazil, but they’re smart enough to know that you don’t go after famous Americans unless you’re 99 percent sure you’ve got a case.

wait, you think Brazil is the one looking bad here? lol ok

Well thanks. I’m a lady Deadspinner, but I will accept honorary bro status for this discussion. I played and coached college volleyball for a long time. It’s the sport I know best.

Zachary D. Manprin: Cardinal Fan or Schiano Man?

Being a progressive means you hate Hillary? That’s news to me. I thought being progressive means fighting for progressive issues, not creating a purity test of which of those issues are necessary to be considered progressive.

This has gotta be tough for Yankees fans. I mean, first the Cowboys and Lakers, now this?

I will never be a Clinton fan and I voted for Bernie in the state primary. That said, Bernie,

You shouldn’t be proud of being a Cardinal-esque fan, they’re obnoxious fuckfaces.

I’m normally a very reserved, polite, “Cardinals-esque” fan. However, I’m making sure to get Subway Series tix to the Bronx this year and let my inner-NYC obnoxious asshole side out. Been waiting a long time for the roles to be reversed in this town and I'm going to enjoy every second of it.

How do you serve as VP when you’ve publicly stated your opponent is unqualified to be President?

I’m also one of those nine percent. Throughout the past few months, I have flip-flopped and waffled all over the damn place. I think it’s okay to say that these are simply two solid yet deeply flawed candidates. Neither of them are revolutionaries, and neither of them are monsters. They’re just, well, politicians.

A Jezebel commenter graced an article I wrote with a list of “pros and cons” about the candidate that named Clinton’s only con as “hasn’t fulfilled her potential.”

Ok, so I had a bunch of white people telling me how minorities should vote for Bernie because he’s obviously so good for us and why can’t we just realise that??!!

JFC. Democrats are being handed this election to them on a silver fucking platter, and they want to set it on fire. Support your candidate, don’t denigrate the other, and whoever wins the nod, vote -D. It’s really not that fucking hard.

Yes. I’m only allowed to complain about one thing per year, and this is my thing.
