I love the family drama aspect of this iteration. It makes the terror so much more compelling. I guess if you’re more into slasher-type scares, it probably would seem slow. For me, it’s the best horror I’ve seen in ages. But I’m a wuss with the gory stuff.

They do this with every major Netflix/Amazon TV release my dude, because they want to get them all up for the binge watchers as fast as possible.

Yeah, kind of like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with all the shit going on around them.

That ending, with Frank’s guilt almost lifted from him as he finally finds belonging which he’s sought for 3 seasons with the Smith’s being confronted with the complete destruction of their country and life was brilliant.

I think season 2 was better than season 1.  I said that recently in another thread and seemed to get a fair amount of agreement.

They didn’t vote their fucking Senators or House reps in, and that is specifically immune to the electoral college and SPECIFIC to this situation.

Not where it mattered, evidently; the election has never been based on the popular vote (though it likely should be, and the EC has long outlived its usefulness)—and, generally speaking, there are actually fewer registered Republicans than Dems in an awful lot of areas.

Folks didn’t turn out for a variety of reasons,…

No, you and I did. I’d ask you where those “but I’mma have a protest” votes went, and what difference they might have made.

I will hand you that HRC was not only an imperfect candidate, but a shitty one, full of entitlement and “it’s my turn.”

...but she was ranged against Donald Goddamned Trump.  If you can tell me…

You’ve said a lot of stupid shit in the past, bub. I wouldn’t be telling others to shut the fuck up.

I’m sorry, did I interrupt your completely ignorant and self-defeating, raging pity party? That’s the party a lot of us had two years ago because we knew this day was coming and there was nothing to be done to stop it. Because of privileged white “progressive” (mostly) men deciding they didn’t have enough skin in the…

2016 gave Splinter and the puritist progressives a new scapegoat and excuse: the Democrat Party. Now anytime the Democrats lose, anywhere, its the “establishment/centrist/etc” fault. The Dems can and will never do right by their eyes. The Dems will always be wrong and be at fault. No winning with these people.

The Democrats didn’t just fail us; they wanted this.

That moment when being a trust-fund kid who has the ability to wax poetic about a system they’ve never taken the time to understand is suddenly meant to be a legitimate worldview.

Holy fuck. Do you have any idea how committees function? Do you have any idea how the basic branches of government are intended to work?

Do…

You’re much more nuanced than I was in my comment. +1

Splinter is the Fox News of progressivism, you have to remember. The connection to reality around here is tenuous at best. 

This is just classic Splinter clickbait. They don’t want to have to admit that the people who told them that protest voting for Jill Stein would cost us the Supreme Court were actually right. 

YUP.

This is some weak ass bullshit. The Democrats had no power. We’ve known since Kennedy retired that this was a losing battle, but it was a battle that the Democrats had to fight. They mounted as effective a campaign against Kavanaugh as could be made, and they lost, which was absolutely to be expected. This loss was…

Oh fuck this.

Instead, Democrats put all their chips on an investigation by the FBI—an inherently evil organization which they have no control over. They could have gone right after Kavanaugh during his hearing. They could have questioned him, over and over again, about his drinking. They could have questioned him, over and over…
