We’re hopping between levels of generality and frameworks of legal/moral/societal judgment here, which I don’t think is helpful. We don’t have to have a rule that works in all cases and all contexts.

The corollary to their “people like their insurance” argument is “what about unions that fought for great insurance?! Do you want to take that away from them?!” I’d really to see Sanders or Warren counter that with what I dub the “shoot the hostage defense:” unions have to fight for health insurance because it’s levera…

What is this delicious nonsense? You, good person, have made my night.

Happiness is a warm dismiss button.

LMAO, “reduces the supply of healthcare while increasing the demand” is literally too stupid to parse.

I love Liz as much as I hate Jim Spanfeller for ruining Deadspin.

It is what it is.  The democrats aren’t going to run a stupid idiot just because stupid idiots vote.  I do think that Warren, being a teacher, does have the ability to break it down to more simple terms.  Even idiots understand the concept of “Medicare” and the concept of “for all” and the concept of “you’re taxes…

Her plan is an ambitious one—employers would contribute the money they currently pay for their workers’ private health insurance to Medicare, and the rest of the projected costs would be covered by, among other mechanisms, higher taxes on billionaires, taxing capital gains income, and cuts to a Defense Department…

Bernie Sanders voice: “And I will form the top ten-percent of the robot!”

I fucking love Elizabeth Warren and gve money t her campaign monthly, but let’s be clear: the American people are drooling braindead morons who voted for a guy whose plan to stop illegal immigration was to built a giant fucking wall in the desert and “make Mexico pay for it.” This plan won’t stop bad-faith attacks on…

Anytime a headline poses a question, the answer is no.

Are [Insert Advertising Prop] the revolution we really need?

Hell no. They’ll just be that much harder to stop when they get possessed and start murdering

In fairness, it appears Pelosi said those things in a closed-door, private conversation. And I think she meant it ernestly—Hill was a favorite of Pelosi’s from the moment she was elected, with Pelosi even awarding her some plum assignments that usually don’t go to freshmen.

Fair, but its been republican since the early 90s and includes simi valley - not a bastion of liberalism.

Funny, when my brother got mugged not once but twice, my parents never questioned the fact he was walking home alone late at night or that he had cash on him. The police took his statement like business as usual. My mother wanted to “catch the bastard that did this.”

They’ve posted nothing but sports stories today...

So, that’s Rep Katie Porter, D-CA. This is only a snippet of the inquiry - there’s more to it than what’s in the video - but she’s referring to the horrifying accounts of what content monitors have to go through and how terribly they’re treated by FB. The point she’s making is that if he’s not willing to do it for…

The only thing I can hear coming out of his mouth is “I’m a real boy”.
