Italy just had a referendum fail, and the head of state just resigned.

It can be the sequel to this one:

I don’t think Christie is particularly smart, but I don’t think he’s dumb enough to look at his plummeting approval ratings and the Bridgegate convictions and think that beggars can afford to be choosers. Trump’s freakshow was really the last chance for him to remain politically relevant... dude’s pretty much done…

“No, she didn’t dump me. Are you kidding? I totally dumped her first!”

But to go back to my other response to you, people like Judd, at least, are correcting an inaccuracy: That recurrent major depression is highly treatable. Mass advertising for antidepressants frequently misleads people about what the prognosis for these kinds of mental illnesses are.

I agree. A rare piece of self help advice I found useful: “Comparisons of pain are simply not useful.” I got an especially twisted lesson in this when, one Christmas in the 90s, my father gave me a copy of that horrible book, A Child Called It, telling me, “Since you seem to think you had it so rough- here’s a kid who…

Im taking so much unnecessary shit here, but that’s literally all I was saying. Look she went on TV, which she didn’t have to do, because she either wants sympathy or wants to be an advocate. I’ll go with advocate and forego some cynicism. In that case I think she really needs to talk about what depression is like for…

This is kinda what I was thinking. I suffer from major depression. It seems like it must be a tiny bit easier to be depressed when you don’t worry about money, when someone else cleans the house, when someone can make the food that tastes good.

She also doesn’t have to perform if she doesn’t want to after all of the money she’s made. I understand what your saying and think what you said is valid, and appreciate you sharing your experience (which I hope improves). But I also don’t think its responsible to share a story without touching (at minimum) on how…

I deal with mental illness. Amongst other things, at its worst my agorophobia can keep me housebound and unwashed for longer than I’d care to admit.

yeah...

Lol omg you really wrote all that

Forget it, dude; it’s Chinatown.

Oh, no! It’s very good advice, and you don’t know me from Adam, so I appreciate the concern!

Yep, I’m reducing under supervision :) I wouldn’t do it on my own!

Okay I get where you are coming from trying to give a different take but the anger they are feeling is about equality. It’s about their fall from dominance. This is about the playing field starting to even out just a tad for People of color. Remember when these communities were doing well and they would actively keep…

i can’t muster up any sympathy for any of them. all i got is a bunch of “NO SHIT, SHERLOCK”s.

The Rust Belt states were already pretty moderate Dems in the first place, look at how their representatives voted on the ACA, so them flipping is not just the DNC being unexciting. I’m not giving up, but Trump’s completely vacuous precedence is unnerving. The GOP could continue to breed a generation of dogmatic…

If you honestly believe that... if you think all those Rust Belt states abruptly flipped because of racism, bigotry, and ignorance... then give up right now and surrender control of this country for the next twenty years (at least) until white people finally become a statistical minority. Because liberals will have no…

Yeah. If the left is going to recover from this loss, we need to start reaching out to poor white Americans and make clear what the left has to offer them. Because naked contempt isn’t going to win hearts and minds. And we need hearts and minds to win elections and advance policy.
