Seriously? Demonizing others =/= standing up for yourself. Google the Atlantic article about Nelsonville and work from there. No, I am not posting a bibliography on AV Club and I'll never ask anyone else to.

Medieval fairy tale not entirely feminist

A lot of these places had been voting Democrat and voted in some Democrats this time too. I'm not talking about Kansas, I'm talking about Pennsylvania. We don't need Kansas but we do need Pennsylvania. And Pennsylvania's interest does not involve having coal miners answer phones for a living. That was Clinton's…

Maybe, but the implication might be more racist than the character. It's like saying the Ferengi are supposed to be Jewish. In what way, the ears? What are we getting at there? The only traits this analysis deals with are unfair stereotypes, while the real-world allegory doesn't necessarily exist within the work.

Aw man. He was so much fun.

What's really unfortunate is that Clinton didn't make this her campaign issue. We cannot get outflanked on the left ever again. That has to be our overriding priority.

AT&T should not be allowed to merge with Time Warner. I don't care who's blocking it, it needs to be blocked.

Most of America. Clinton focused her campaign on the parts that were doing well, Trump focused on the other parts. Turns out there's a lot more of the latter.

Because subversive and conservative go hand in hand? I could have sworn they were opposites.

The primary task of business is sales.

Depending on where you live, the economy has been tanking for decades.

Cleveland met the Jays in the playoffs, beat them, then signed their best hitter. Sorry bout that!

Always has been. I'm surprised he's still there.

I've never understood why they were singled out. I mean, they're representative of that style but so are tons of other bands.

Of course it does, but so what? We still can't defeat them by pointing that out. We need to win over some of them, using other issues, and we have a much better chance of that if we can avoid placing their faults on center stage.

It was not a different electorate this time. Same folks, for the most part. Plenty of Obama voters switched over, plenty of them have been interviewed since, and they've overwhelmingly cited economic policy as the determining factor. The loudest Trump supporters tend to be obnoxious bigots but they are not…

Elections are decided on multiple issues but economics is chief among them. Pretending otherwise is part of our problem. Attacking the electorate is another part.

Racism doesn't explain all the rural districts that Obama won twice. Those victories never meant racism was over, but they make it kind of ridiculous to blithely demonize "the majority of white people." Good luck winning anything with that strategy.

Philistine! All that matters is making them cuter, who cares if they can breathe.

Senator Rock suggests allowing food stamps to be used on malt liquor, then votes to eliminate them entirely.
