The armchair quarterbacking of national politicians by Some Dude On The Internet this last couple years has been mind-blowing. The Philly and Pittsburgh suburbs are where the votes are, dumbass. Her loss in PA was universally attributed to the fact that black turnout in Philly declined compared to 2008 and 2012. Care

If you’re so hot on talking about Wisconsin’s senators, then why did Russ Feingold lose in 2016 despite campaigning exclusively in that state (because, ya know, that’s the only place his voters were)? Sexism isn’t the only reason Democrats lost Wisconsin - Hillary and Feingold both lost because of voter suppression

The easiest way to do this is to not have Twitter in the first place. #NeverTweet

It’s still only September, the first primaries aren’t until February, and the general election isn’t for 14 months, so why the rush to winnow the field and start the interminable Bataan death march to the election any sooner than necessary?

Warren is a woman, and the smear campaign (“Pocahontas”) began months ago. It’s probably the single most well-known thing about her among people who don’t pay much attention to politics.

Why are we still referring to the storm in 2017 as Hurricane Maria when we long ago should have renamed it Hurricane Donald considering that much of the damage and death came from racist neglect?

People putting all their eggs in the basket of 2020 refuse to acknowledge that they’re playing a rigged game: Rigged by the electoral college, voter suppression, and illegal foreign interference. Didn’t work out great last time, as I remember.

Interesting, are you impeaching him yet? No? Then who gives a shit.

And here I assumed @mother would be already taken.

Nailed it. And that’s not even counting the people who will lie to a pollster that they would vote for a woman but won’t actually do it.

You’re right: She was the most qualified and experienced female candidate possible. Warren is absolutely the first choice candidate in my heart, but if you think “Pocahontas” won’t be Hillary’s emails all over again with the same effect, you clearly haven’t been paying attention to this stupid country.

I would feel a lot better about Warren as the nominee if our elections weren’t ultimately decided by a small group of white people in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin who have already proven themselves to be too sexist to vote for a female president.

Nancy Chamberlain has to go.

See, it’s funny because the guy running the country is an active traitor working on behalf of our enemies but there will be no consequences because the rule of law is dead.

A loss for all of us on all counts (despite the flaws in each of those middle children).

With the retro renaissance in full swing and the restoration and modernization of classic Zelda, it’s long past time for a sequel to/reboot of the underappreciated Zelda II: Adventure of Link. Who says no to that?

I deeply hate saying it, but Chait is right: Voters have proven that they won’t accept a female president, at least not in sufficient numbers to get past the rigged undemocratic institutions that pick our president. The dumbass voters in swing states that decide our elections are simply too sexist to allow a female

There are plenty of good reasons for ending a friendship. If someone’s politics show them to be a delusional ignorant hateful sociopath who delights in cruelty and racism, end that fucking friendship without a shred of guilt.
