The larger media interests sure have been short sheeting the female candidates of late. It’s starting to stink a bit. (“It’s just that the women showed up early and the dudes are slouching in all spaced out like - s’all” ....hnnn.)

If the goal is to continue the corruption of ICE to become a new gestappo then, yes, (Jewish raised with irony) stephen miller would be an excellent choice. He is a top contender for most irredeemably vile human being in the trump administration and that’s against some tough competition.

Of course this is only fair and sensible, but the republicans will fight it tooth and claw, because the electoral college gives rural/MAGA regions greatly significant weighting. Abolish the electoral college and they’ll be forced to double down on: gerrymandering, voter suppression, electronic ballot shenanigans, and,…

You might want to save a little time by setting a key macro to:  “trump is stupidly”...

But when it comes to making the case against fascist authoritarianism on national television, it’s hard to think of two people more ill-equipped to rise to the occasion than Chuck and Nancy.

Ms Tlaib’s sentiment is undeniably popular (and sane), but language matters in the hypocritical political pearl-clutching world, and it would’ve been a lot less “hand the enemy a gift” if she had said “Let’s impeach this bastard”. Don’t hand the motherfucking republicans a freebie talking point when they have so few.

It’s an impolitic use of specific terminology (oddly enough, “bastard” may’ve handed less to the opposition), but other than that style point, what sane observer could possibly disagree with her sentiment??

From the point of view of someone who has been affixed to an inter-tidal rock in the greater Seattle area since birth, i find Dr Schwartz’s “Who? the hell is a governor from the state of Washington” to be entirely consistent with the national media’s attitude of: “The world stops westward of Chicago... oh and outside…

There’s a Fox“news” coffee intern who’s said to be ‘pretty good’ at the “Call of Duty” video game who will probably be tapped to replace Mattis for Secretary of Defense.

Yet again we are forced to quote: “I’m not a member of any organized political party, I’m a Democrat” —Will Rodgers.

How can you know anyone giving a sensible point of view is anyone giving a sensible point of view? That is, you don’t have to know that “Death Clouds” is a (board certified) physician or not to judge what they have written. Which seems pretty reasonable to this PhD in Biochemistry - whom you don’t know if i’m a real…

Electoral College, not House representatives, and here’s the current count of electoral college votes map, which should be divided by the population to get one’s relative presidental vote.  Oh, and how many senators does Wyoming get?

Glue-eating dickhead Stephen Miller

We really oughtn’t to be surprised that the atavistic electoral college is the direct enemy of progressive candidates. It was designed hundreds of years ago to give rich white rural land-owners a tremendously unfair weighted fraction of the vote. These days, largely due to agriculture becoming a wholly owned…

“Anyone who isn’t a rich white straight male would be an idiot to be a Republican”(stated by too many to have but a single author). As an aside the headline format “X needs to shut the fuck up” ought to be retired. The first amendment still lives (for now) so, no, they don’t “need” to shut up. And if the headline then…

“Nader” you-all didn’t manage to mention “nader” or the “nader effect” not once?? This is reason that any sane candidate who is either a third party (Jill Stein) or has a following which insists on running in the general as a de-facto third party (Bernie Sanders) should not run — unless, getting trump re-elected is…

Many ex-senators are lobbyists. Some ex-senators wrote an inspiring letter recalling what ethical and responsible government looks like. Some of those who wrote this letter are lobbyists. (“all men are mortal, Socrates was a philosopher, therefore... oops, wait a bit”)

Just as a trivial notion, posters in general might want to give potential-clicks (that’d be most of us) a bit more to go on than:

Clarence Thomas is one living legacy of Bush-41 which ought to be recalled (in both senses of the term)

Yes indeed, let’s support and modernize (where possible) the essential institution of unions. It should be tediously reminded that unions likely saved the United States long beyond the point that Marx (et.al) maledicted. And although it’s presumed to be headliners’ bravado, it ought to be queried in passing: what…
