Given the demographics of our (world’s largest) prison population, the material impact of denying the vote to incarcerated people is to buttress white supremacy, pure and simple. It’s beyond absurd that many Dems can’t acknowledge that.

Trying to draw arbitrary lines about who can or can’t

He’s big with people who get hard nipples when you say “pragmatic” or “access to affordable __”.

Save us, Millennials! Us X’ers are too attached to our olds to put them down.

People who couch it as “free stuff” are peak disingenuous and intellectually lazy. 

John McCain should have gone to prison for his role in the Keating Five scandal. Furthermore he should have gone to prison for his lifetime of bribe taking and favor doing for rich people which is a requirement of right wing politicians. He didn’t because he is a rich white man and the prison system is designed to…

you never have anything to say that’s worth reading, yet here you are, AGAIN.

“Round of applause from anyone who doesn’t want their skull dented by a stapler.”

Almost as tiresome as call out culture on kinja

Healthcare aside, Warren’s domestic policy is really about as strong as you can get and still remain within the confines of the Democratic Party — and when it comes to specifics, it’s certainly the most fully fleshed-out in the field. If only her foreign weren’t so fucking terrible. Why is it so easy for well-meaning…

Well, this whole saga has proven that Tim Anderson fucking rules and is cool as hell. Who says the MLB can’t market its players?

Why are the comments on splinter always filled with dipshits that think every single writer has the same opinion on every topic?

Reminder for everyone that cdwag14 is a literal Cosby rape apologist, Michael Jackson truther, and antisemite

We can sit around complaining about the fundamental systemic racism of America or we can evaluate the most likely way to remove a man from power who indisputably makes it all worse.

weird. you’d have thought that after the Republicans had made such total fools of themselves on the national stage, there’s no way they could ride that energized base into a takeover of every level of government.

Ok, and what does this have to do with being afraid to upset the apparently large swath of moderate, Democratic and Zionist swing voters in North Carolina’s 9th district?

Ilhan Omar is from Minnesota. She wins a majority white district. Know why? Voters like an honest politician that tells the truth and don’t act like a stupid racist coward. Dickless Dan McCready should learn a lesson because his cowardly bigotry won’t gain him votes. That move only lost him votes.
