Hey Libby remember when “dad” I mean Bernie said he was willing to work with Trump on some matters? I mean this was after making excuses for all the racist Trump voters that he still thinks he can get to vote for him. Do you have strict standards for all Democratic candidates or just the ones not named Bernie?

Well the dems best figure out how to reach them.  Or they stand a real chance of winning the popular vote and losing the election again.  

I disagree. Nihilism and negativity are toxic to political campaigns. Look at the interaction between obama and mccain, both were fairly respectful as individuals to each other, and the campaign that had the most toxic hateful assholes in it came off looking worse.

This is why “Deplorables” was seen as a turning point…

Oh god he’s going to be nominee this is the worst timeline.

I get why it’s frustrating and doesn’t fill one with confidence, but the reality of the American system of elections and government have not fundamentally changed since the 19th Amendment was ratified. The rules haven’t really changed. Progress is hard. Gridlock is easy. Gridlock and division favor the conservative…

He’s really going for it, folks. Joe Biden is actually running for president on the idea that things are not that bad, that Trump is not a representative of something deeply wrong with America but just a blip that can be swept under the rug.

Nah. You don’t win Trump’s core voters. You win back your own and some fence-sitters, but the hardcore MAGA crowd is too far gone. They know everything you posted and don’t care. 

NoGas - I am glad that you have no gas. I am concerned about your comprehension skills though.

The fundamental thing I think you misunderstand about the “division” conversation is the degree to which the American system of government relies on cooperation between parties, which means it’s actually incredibly important, particularly for those interested in progressive change, that our politicians demonstrate an…

Don’t worry. Bezos and Musk are gonna have bases on the moon and Mars. We’ll just order our Amazon.com from there. 

I think we already did pass the point of no return.  And I’m starting to feel the pull to the dark side.  Like, I’m ready to tell Mrs. Funk and the Funklets, “Look, humanity is complete garbage.  War, genocide, religion, black licorice, Donald Trump, poverty, greed, pay-WiFi, Republicans... The list goes on forever. …

Because of the collapse of all reasonable expectations in society, I don’t know if this is sarcasm or not. Bravo sir.

Trump is not taking a position to Biden’s left. He knows that “superpredators” was a great wedge in the 2016 primaries and is trying to make it one again.

BREAKING: Trump offered editorial position at Splinter.

um... to the left of Joe Biden in 1994, which is...let me check....24 years ago now.

In tomorrow’s headlines…

Ok, so not so much justice then as retribution. That a society you’re OK with? Because it rather more sounds like Adolf’s vision than freedom and democracy to me.

Woman with a Japanese first name motivated to be an Antisemite by a Jewish writer?

Who knew Nazis were so multicultural!

Yeah, apparently now listening to a Jew is reason enough to attack Jews? Apparently the person doesn’t know that Shapiro is a Jew.
