Oh, don’t get me wrong— I know he’s not the shining saint I believe him to be, but I still don’t want to admit it. However, unlike a Trump supporter, I promise not to cast any future votes based on my *feelings* instead of the *facts.*

This, 1,000 times. They will likely not get another Democrat sponsored bill with enough votes to pass in the next two years, and they shot down an opportunity to show America that they actually are looking out for them.

Counterpoint:

Bless your heart. It clearly has nothing to do with the quarter million he’s received from big pharma.

Yup, as a native NJer, this is in a nutshell why I have conflicted feelings about Booker.

Right here.

But now that they are probably aware, and considering the intensity of these allegations regarding the organizers, it is very reasonable to expect the performers to go on the offensive ahead of the event. I will be a little disappointed if Beyoncé or Kendrick or Lorde don’t address this before Coachella and they damn…

What are the other options? It’s either a donkey show or a day at the circus.

nope democrat pretty much covers it

We are far past the point of terms like ‘democrat’ or ‘republican’ meaning anything any more. Trump used the republican party as a host body to win the presidency. He is their new standard bearer, but standard bearer of what? He has no ideas, philosophy, ideology, nothing. Democrats are inveterate wonks looking for…

She failed in getting 270 electoral votes, which is how the presidency is won. The path to 270 is the goal, not the popular vote.

Bravo.
Consider this - Harry Truman had a sign on his desk saying “the buck stops here”. Her failures are her fault. Trump was beatable and she failed.
Stop making excuses for her, or accepting excuses from her or her campaign.

I hope we never stop bringing up Bernie Sanders. Just to prove to the DNC how they royally fucked themselves over.

How about we blame third party voter and Bernie sanders instead? That’s what Rachel Maddow tells me.

People are selfish. Almost all people vote in their own self-interest. Trump promised to bring the jobs back that have been long gone and probably won’t come back. You cannot argue against that. They voted in a last chance effort to restore their way of life. If you thought your way of life was ending but had to vote…

Really? Because a bunch of morons believed the advertising and the hype before the nominations and chose the two worst possible candidates.

Murder is comically overrepresented, too. NCIS alone has killed hundreds, maybe thousands over the years. And that’s just crimes falling under Naval jurisdiction within the greater D.C. area. It’s nuts. It’s like they’re trying to kill off more Sailors and Marines than have died in our recent wars!

With all due respect to fellow masterpieces like Bojack Horseman and Bron|Broen, yes, The Leftovers is far and away the best thing on television. I still wish they had not crippled the poor show by giving it the worst name in tv history.

Exactly. The show’s entire thing is about watching and empathizing with people who are coming to grips with the fact that there are no real, satisfying answers, for anything - but that there can still be beauty in the chaos.

Agreed. The irony is palpable: using the word “redneck” to describe the people Jost is talking about demonstrates his point exactly. Until the Dems can figure out how to engage the demographic that that slur refers to instead of continue to degrade it, we’re well and thoroughly screwed.
