She paved the way for Alison Roman.

From the artist who created the cover:

I honestly don’t think that’s the only real purpose for waiting in today’s world. If he plans on picking someone who might excite the base (or the Progressive left), why announce six months before the election and give the right half a year to run attacks, and the left six months get over the excitement?

Not just the republicans! If a candidate plans on picking someone who might excite the base (or the Progressive left), why announce six months before the election and give everyone half a year to get over the excitement?

dude, just give one of them the damn rose already

Although your analysis of how others of color would be treated in this scenario is probably accurate, in my opinion, you are picking the wrong battle at this time.

Don’t worry. I also dismissed the comment.

Yes you’re a racist. We GET IT. Thanks.

You know damn well if black or brown protesters showed up at the capital building armed and yelling, there would have immediately been tear gas deployed and officers with itchy trigger fingers surrounding the scene.

Okay fair, I’m willing to bet Trump literally does not know the meaning of “mea culpa.”

Emily admitted she calculated wrong, and fixed it. But saying the error was “pretty obviously being used in an unmistakeably hyperbolic way to make a point” (when that clearly was not the case) is some Trumpian-level justification right there.

Counterpoint: I went a little off the rails and bleached my hair at home from very dark to platinum blonde while in quarantine— something I NEVER would have done in the real world— and it looks... great...?

So back before the Plague of 2020 I used to have a favorite sandwich shop that delivered on Seamless late nights. It was my go-to when any time I’d go out on a Saturday night and come home not-totally-sober. Since I rarely used Seamless (other than in these instances), I loved just opening up the app, clicking Express…

No one announces their VP pick until they’ve already won the nomination, but either way: while Warren was my top choice for POTUS, at this stage in the game it wouldn’t be a smart choice to put her on the ticket. We can’t risk losing her seat in Massachusetts now. The republican governor in MA has an extremely high…

I get that— and I’m hardly excited about a Biden presidency— but if Super Tuesday taught us anything it’s that the promise of Bernie inspiring a wave of supporters to come to polls was a myth. His losses yesterday came partially because young voters were *not* motivated to come out for him. In fact, he did WORSE this…

It’s been a minute since I’ve done this, but I think it’s time to revisit some of my fave Gwyneth Paltrow quotes of all time:

And then getting John Cho and Issa Rae to announce the noms, like that totally makes up for their total lack of diversity

No Awkwafina. The entire cast of Parasite shut out. AND Scarlett Johansson nominated for TWO acting awards. Talk about a slap in the face to the Asian community...

Oh, yeah that makes sense.
