Thank you for doing this!

I love the idea of it, but I do business on facebook and prefer not to mix that with anonymous pleasures such as this.

That's evil.

Makes me think of (and worry about) the warehouse where my brother's band practices. Instead of stairs, there's a scissor lift.

Why not? Electronic music originated in the Great Lakes area.

I agree with your ultimate solution. But we're not post-industry yet.

I like Genevieve Angelson, she was good in that cop show I can't remember the name of now.

It isn't about you or me. But Pelosi should be stepping down in disgrace like DWS, not jabbing at Tim Ryan because he "didn't carry his district for Clinton." Tim Ryan carried a Trump district for himself, and that is the point she continues to miss.

The campaign is over and the economy is not a childish concern. Everyone is different, but we can't be babies about that either. Everyone is also very much the same. That's where our focus should be.

Indiana is largely excluded from what I've been saying. They didn't just start voting Republican, they've been doing it for a while. It's a red state in an awkward location. I don't see much hope for a political turnaround there, not soon.

Losing is not effective.

California still has a ton of manufacturing, particularly defense contractors that used to be in my region. That's mostly Reagan's doing. I fully admit our state Democratic party is a mess, and that's an in-house problem. But it would be nice if California could see things our way now and then. We agree on almost…

The comic book Bone does a good job of exploring how fascists like him operate. Beating up straw men is a big part of it. Enemies around every corner, look out! What you need is protection.

Most people who have power in Disney cartoons got it through heredity. That seems to be Disney's primary message for girls.

Now I'm afraid to!

In many of the decisive states, Trump's margin was razor thin. Meaning we don't have to convince many people to get a different result next time. But this… this is not how we convince them.

We'd get Mitch McConnell first, and that's no good.

I fear you may be right. It might take aliens landing here and telling us "that's fucking stupid" and even that might not work. Why believe aliens? They aren't Christian.

Again, lumping us in with the south. Please stop that. The industrial midwest was very union and very blue until recently. We're much more like you than like them. Let's be friends again, shall we? It's just that you can't have all the money. And trade deals that favor ocean ports over everyone else do matter. …

Agree about Walmart, but I'm talking about states that were blue until recently, with union power bases that can't exist without jobs. The south voted against their interests, sure, but the rust belt didn't. Not until now.
