John Lewis’ vote makes no sense. He could be molesting a child on tv while winking at the camera and giving the thumbs up and he would still win in a landslide. He’s also too old to be looking at a higher office. I really don’t understand why he voted “yes”.

Because they know the other option is to go across the street to that other place and get a pile of shit smeared into your face followed by a kick in the groin. So we better eat our hotdog and tell everyone we know how much we wanted a hotdog all along, lest we give the impression that their hotdog isn’t totally…

It’s outrageous. There are Democratic members who are in districts that are overwhelmingly Democratic who don’t even have republican challengers who voted “yay” on this travesty. Like my rep in GA-05 John Lewis. It’s unacceptable and totally unnecessary. Voting yes on this bill serves to affirm the entire “blue lives…

This will never be overturned. If refusing to vote “no” is too much to countenance even for someone like Keith Ellison (who won with 70% of the vote last election), what chance is there for a “normal” Democratic congressperson to affirmatively vote to take away these “protections” for our so brave and special…

You could have fooled me. Since you made a claim that was ridiculous on its face, that someone was assuming “infinite” multipliers from government spending.

Awwwww, so patronizing of you. What is it with right wing “Democrats” and age play? “I’m such an adult, you’re all just children [wags finger]! Is it some sort of psycho-sexual thing? It’s like you guys have some sort of daddy fetish. You can’t help trying to dominate your political enemies by comparing them to…

No, it’s not really a “strength” of a capitalist society. Since there is no evidence that “the best people” rise to the top or even a common definition of what makes someone “the best” and thus deserving to be on top.

“I hire immigrants and Latinx because they show up on time, work all day, and don’t complain how hard it is. I pay them twice the wage of college kids, who never last a week anyhow.”

So that’s what immigrants are for? Doing low wage work to make sure our prices stay low? Very progressive.

Arthur Brooks is maybe the shittiest, most horrible republican. And that’s really saying something. His whole shtick is claiming what people need is “earned success” which apparently means money via labor income with no assistance from government because that somehow crushes one’s soul and money received from the…

Totally. That’s why no one is claiming the multiplier for government spending is infinite. I mean, you wouldn’t be making a literal straw man argument, that is an argument that no one has made ever, in order to try and prove your point would you? Because you are way too Serious and Pragmatic and the Adult in The Room…

Apparently you didn’t get the memo that the gop now has to claim they didn’t actually like it when Bush spent government money on stuff like Medicare Part D. Because otherwise it might appear as if the gop doesn’t actually have any principles other than “get in power and cut taxes for the rich” if they supported…

The *only* alternative was firing live rounds into crowds? There are no other options? Weird. When the attackers are Jewish settlers apparently there are alternatives like stun grenades and tear gas. But Palestinians must be such bestial creatures they are immune to normal non-lethal weapons and can only be stopped by…

Somehow “moderate” Democratic party politicians are just certain their constituents are demanding they vote for appointing torturers and deregulating of banks. Since those are such popular positions. I don’t even know what Warner’s excuse is. Is he going to be bragging about voting for Haspel in his campaign ads next…

There is a wing of the Democratic party who seem to think for the most part America is already great, but we just need to make sure the top 1% is reflective of society with X% women, Y% PoC, Z% queer people, etc. It’s part of the myth of the meritocracy. That it’s ok if we live in a deeply unequal society as long as…

My cousins (my father’s sister and her kids) live in Jerusalem. They live in one of the last “secular” Jewish areas (Beit HaKerem, on the same street as Nir Barkat). Anyway, one of my cousins married a Kurdish Jew (our family is from Europe originally so Kurdish is totally alien to me) and his family looooooove…

Based on their fighting any and all restrictions on their lubricated security blankets and the vast, vast evidence that those restrictions would lead to less children shot.

You really like to talk a lot about stuff you seem to not really understand. Have you ever actually read any Marxist economic analysis?

SIGH. SIGH. SIGH. SIGH. SIGH. SIGH.

You’re right. These types of gun owners don’t want to see children shot (well, at least some type of children...). They just don’t care if being able to stroke their metal dick replacements at any time free from any restraints means more children will get shot.
