Jesus fucking christ. Jezebel completely fucking missing the point again. This is bad for the country. Knock this shit off. She isn’t liberal enough for you? Tough shit. She is trying to unseat the most entrenched conservative shitbox in a VERY conservative state. You know what “SUCKS”? Mitch McConnell. You know what…

She's offering the exact moderate Democratic political profile Kyrsten Sinema just ran on in crimson red Arizona. And won.

Oh my god, you guys. THERE IS NO WHITE KNIGHT. I do not need the ghost of Howard Zinn or FDR or Jesus himself to come and unseat McConnell. It’s politics, for fuck’s sake. There’s like, 4 decent humans and the rest are swine. But some of them are swine who will keep you from dying during an abortion or your kid from…

It’s truly not that complicated! Like, I’m not an expert by any means, and I only watch once every 4 years or so, but yo, just watch a YouTube video explainer and you’ll get it. I could probably copy and paste this for a dozen more comments in this article, but here it is!

...but McGrath is a self-described moderate who believes the Democrats currently running for president are veering too far to the left. She doesn’t support eliminating private insurance under a Medicare-for-all plan, nor does she support subsidizing healthcare for undocumented immigrants. She also describes herself as…

She “kind of sucks” because she’s only moderately left and doesn’t support the asinine Medicare for All “proposals” that are out there?* That’s all it takes for someone to suck? Good grief.

*I work in health policy. I am 100% in favor of universal coverage and single payer. The current Medicare for All proposals are…

Sometimes the writers here come off as living in a bubble. 

Kentucky is red, red, rose red. AOC would probably get less votes in the entire state than she did in her one district. So, I mean, if someone wants to even be potentially maybe able to win office, they won’t exactly be a NY or SF liberal, you know?

I don’t need her to be a leftist dream, I need her to be better than Mitch. It’s a pretty low bar. Campaigning in a way that talks to voters she needs to win over, conservatives who have probably voted red their whole lives (or voted southern democrat when that was still a thing) is smart. 

She obviously meant pate forestierre! The peasant’s pate!

Amen. “Underage women” is one of those phrases that, if you went through a halfway decent journalism program, gets beaten out of you by a curmudgeonly editing professor wielding the AP Stylebook.

It’s an incredibly fun sport to watch, and an incredibly difficult sport to play. Imagine baseball where home runs counted as 6 runs, and hitting the wall counted as four runs. Oh, and there are no foul balls and the field stretched in every direction.

But seeing as how AOC is such a VIP as a MOC, shouldn’t we keep the PC on the QT? ‘Cause if it leaks to the DHS she could end up MIA, and then we’d all be put on KP.

No kidding. I didn’t look at the author before I started reading. By the time I got halfway through I didn’t need to look, because I just knew it was Ratto. What a great addition to Deadspin. 

To be fair, or as close as I will ever come to it, many of baseball’s issues are well beyond easy fixes.

Being purely strategic here, if it gets overturned, and eventually ends up being overturned nation-wide by the courts, and to repeat, being purely strategic about it...

Yeah, this is kinda bullshit. It’s not to say that the conversation about equal pay stops, but largely the arguments about equal pay are that the economics aren’t there (usually related to performance). HERE, the economics are there and they surpass the men: the women’s team has higher viewership and greater…

It think it is important to distinguish between US Soccer and FIFA.

“further left,” and “more progressive” than anyone else in Kentucky
