Oh, wow. I never thought of it like that. Since the south was such a pivotal area in the 2016 general election it was a bad sign Sanders was unable to win over the old African-American church ladies who everyone knows make or break Presidential elections in those deep south states. Instead Sanders wasted his time in…

There were millions of words written about the specific reasons Clinton was a bad candidate. Didn’t you just give props to Jezebel for calling out Splinter constantly writing about them?

Jezebel is good because they called out Splinter writers for warning us about problems with the candidate who ended up losing to trump? It’s kind of an unwinnable situation then. If Clinton had won then the Splinter writers were idiots who don’t know shit and were completely wrong about Clinton’s viability as a…

It’s entirely Clinton’s fault that her victory required a larger number of her primary opponent’s supporters than past elections to vote for her in order to win. Or did her campaign team develop a strategy which could only work if 100% of her primary opponent’s supporters voted for her? Something which never happens.…

Totally. Since Hillary Clinton has shown she had the most to lose by the fact she’s currently housed at the Florence supermax we can’t blame her at all for running an awful campaign and losing to an idiot who has done horrible things. I mean, it’s not like Hillary Clinton is a rich celebrity who lives and works in a…

Maybe. Or maybe it was the failure of African-American voters. Or union voters. Or Hispanic voters. Or lower income voters. It’s strange how such an awesome candidate could have so many different groups at which they could point the finger for their inability to beat the biggest idiot who has ever run for President on…

So the PUMAs actions don’t absolve people who did the same thing they did (in much smaller numbers than the PUMAs) because the PUMAs favorite candidate was so much worse than the candidate the PUMAs “betrayed”?

He’s not choosing to slack off or not prepare for debates. He’s physically incapable of doing any better. Biden is clearly showing signs of impairment to his short term memory and his ability to articulate his thoughts. These aren’t “gaffes”. They’re symptoms of a medical problem. Considering what he’s been like in…

If feels like someone has engaged in purposeful chicanery to prevent Warren and Biden sharing a debate stage. Warren would be able to absolutely blast Biden on a (relatively) recent action he took which demolishes Biden’s arguments about the awesomeness of bipartisanship AND that Biden is the guy for hardworking…

I think that’s an interesting hypothesis. I wouldn’t go so far as to say the gop “wants” public places to be unsafe and frightening. I think it’s more they just don’t care/believe it’s the responsibility of each individual to make themselves safe (e.g. carry your own gun for safety against a “bad guy with a gun”).

Something is genuinely wrong with Joe Biden. He seems to be suffering from maybe dementia or another condition causing short term memory impairment. It’s not even “cute” or “funny” anymore. These aren’t “gaffes”. These continual “misstatements” are clearly the impact of some sort of impairment or degenerative…

The unabomber was/is a genius and a mathematical prodigy who became the youngest ever assistant professor of mathematics at UC Berkley. Ted Kaczynski might have been “crazy”, but he was “crazy” about a legitimate problem and lately his ideas have been getting somewhat of a reevaluation as we keep marching toward…

I suppose you could interpret the comment about an insurance company approach to also mean changing the law so the insurance company would be compelled to pay out when someone gets injured by gun violence on the insured’s premises. But as you point out, tort law is a state prerogative. In light of recent SCOTUS cases…

Public accommodations already have a “duty of care” toward their customers. People sue businesses and places like apartment complexes all the time if they get shot on premises. It’s called “premises liability”. The problem is tort law, not walmart’s ability to pay out an award.

Yeah! Which essay from when he was a sitting US senator, or any other type of elected official, writing about an issue directly related to a bill being considered in the level of government where he was serving are you talking about? Because that would be the equivalent of Senator Biden writing an op-ed about…

From when he was a nobody and did not hold an elected office of any sort at any level in 1972? Wow. You’re right. That’s exactly the same as an op-ed written by a sitting senator regarding an actual legislative proposal he personally had the ability to influence. Totally equivalent and the essay/op-eds should probably…

The same corporate hit squad who hates Sanders’ plan and Warrens’ plan and Harris’ plan guess what, also hate Biden’s plan.

Tulsi Gabbard didn’t get her views from being “raised in a Christian household”. It’s almost the opposite, kind of. She was raised in a strange Hindu adjacent cult which had (still has maybe. He might be alive) a “charismatic” leader who had “strong” feelings about issues like homosexuality and a woman’s place in…

There is something genuinely not OK with him. This isn’t “I’m a funny ol’ gaffe machine, but you love me anyway” Uncle Joe Biden. It’s “I’m sundowning, where do I live again?” Old Man Biden. He clearly seems to have some form of impairment which is impacting his memory and recall.

It’s not research. It’s a seminal paper theoretical considerations in regards to providing people with health care in light of the “traditional” conception of welfare economics. He didn’t try to use empirical data. It was just based on examining and working within preexisting models.
