It’s funny...I’m in my mid-30's, reasonably successful and have managed to never tolerate someone screaming at me. My parents never did, which was a good start, but throughout my professional career there it’s just not a common occurrence for 99% of people.

I’m torn between this being the logical conclusion to the direction of the GOP dating back close to 70 years, and still being baffled how we got to this point. Your comment and this whole situation with Fox only highlights that further.

It feels like baseball is reaching the logical conclusion of where all sports will ultimately land. Continue driving down costs to the point you’re fielding almost exclusively drafted players on cheap deals, if you hit on talent spend some money filling the gaps in free agency then repeat.

Whoa...I mean, technically it’s discrimination to not let people discriminate anymore. Right?

They started at their outcome and then leveraged poorly gathered intelligence and manipulated other intelligence to get the answer they wanted.

Should go to Kickstarter or something...I mean how many BWFC fans are there world wide? 

Bill Simmons has an obsession with some weird form of loyalty that has persisted for his entire career. I remember reading an article...probably 15 or 16 years ago now, about Vince Carter. Carter was spoiled, he whined, he complained, he loafed. This of course was after Toronto failed to properly build a team around…

Let me clarify...yes, I agree with what you’re saying. What I’m saying is, as a Federal Government is that good?

I think it shows that, as much as Progressive positions have...uh, progressed, it’s still got a long way to go. Most polling has her well behind both Biden and Sanders and now probably even Beto.

She’s really putting forward legitimate policy proposals on most everything and it’s genuinely impressive. I would hate to lose her in the Senate, but honestly she is steadfastly at the top for me at this point.

I think there is a potential for proportional distribution. I mean there is a general loss of influence at the state level, but as it relates to the Federal Government elections, should individual states get more influence?

Clearly they want to be the new 90’s Cowboys in the internet age.

A few points. My wording is poor, so I can see how it can be read as 50% of all EC votes. It was not intended to indicate that Republicans can get 50% of the total 538 EC votes with 16% of the population. It is that they can get half the needed 270 with only 16% of the population.

Have those in opposition to Trump been particularly violent, anymore so than the groups he’s emboldened to violence in the last two years? The man can’t not hedge against explaining away any failure, and he’s only become more and more adept at steering his supports to unquestioned faith.

Look, I get why the EC and Senate exist. That doesn’t mean that there existence is not open to criticism. I will note, as many have pointed out the creation of the both wasn’t quite as cut and dry as we like to make it. There is a lot of nuance and context to consider when forming a Union of States that have vastly…

You are all over the place here. First, it’s worth noting I was simply responding to your comment that no one cared about the EC until after Trump was elected. Being a liberal site has no bearing on that being untrue, because someone did care. In fact many people did.

That is unequivocally incorrect. This site (or it’s predecessor at least) has pointed out the problems with the EC for years;

lol...wut? Trump is guaranteed half the necessary Electoral College votes even though the states they’re from represent roughly 16% of the population.

There will almost certainly be violence when Trump leaves office, although I’m still hoping it will mostly be in smaller and localized areas (not to diminish that). But he was greasing the wheels for blaming his loss in 2016 and he’s doing it for 2020. Now he just has the position to also advocate for people pushing…

I still maintain his decision to turn down the contract in 2017 (which I believe, he initially wanted to sign) was the big mistake. That offer was only 3 years (getting him to free agency again at 28, next year) and the first two years were similarly structured to the first two years of the 5 year deal he turned down…
