Cuomo may be a serpent king, but he brought us gay marriage (before the Supremes took it national), raised the minimum wage, banned fracking, made it law that women get free cancer screening, free college, and tough gun laws, and raised taxes on millionaires. Seriously, I don’t understand why progressives are such…

This really isn’t much of an answer. My state is “right to work,” so the union is screwed.

The state next to me is heavily union, and the state is solid red and a complete and total disaster.

I’m in favor of unions. I’ve also seen first-hand how completely fucking stupid unions can be: in a friends work place, the…

His writing is the equivalent of a drunk college freshman crying about injustice. Pure drivel entirely lacking in substance. You can say “Kill the rich” all you want but that’s a short step from saying “Kill all the professionals!” or “Kill the educated elite!”

Stop supplicating and humiliating yourself in an embarrassing, desperate attempt to get out of the greys. 

All those white people voting has you brimming with hope? Mmkay.

I can’t remember The last time someone got promoted over at Deadspin. So if this is like that then this will not be a good move.

It is true that I have thousands of accounts by now, though I’ve only saved the keys to about eight hundred thirty of them. This is the only one that was followed by Splinter.  And for what it’s worth, this mass purge is very welcome.  You all were getting so lazy. 

Well keep waiting.  I had not one but two accounts that were blacked and now deleted.  And I’m not mad.  Actually I see this as a challenge.  A challenge to be the best commenter I can be.  I’m actually excited to reach a new level of commenting that I otherwise would not have attained without this action by Splinter…

The polls most certainly were not right, they were making predictions about the electoral college.

I’ve heard “cotton-pickin’” as a slang term, and not even a particularly derogatory phrase when used in a scolding “get your cotton-pickin’ hands of my halloween candy!” way or something. If i’m not mistaken it was even used in old cartoons (though probably edited out now). But like the “monkey this up” quote, this…

Ehh... While normally I’d be inclined to agree, cotton-pickin’ is pretty low on my list of things that are probably meant to be dog whistles and not just vernacular habits of someone who is, obviously, old.

The DM is now Buzzfeed, so of course they’re promoting all the lame SNL sketches and late night talk show monologues that bash Trump. The author of this article is openly anti-Trump. – Dan54321, London, United Kingdom, 5 days ago

I’m not holding out hope since the United States of Petulant Whining has been nothing if not a perpetual source of disappointment.

Never did I say that the point of quibbling over a five percent differential was to disparage the Democrat in question.

The point is that if we’re going to shred hairs over a 5% differential in a fucking statistic (and if you have any understanding of how those are derived and used in the first place, that margin…

No shit. There was an election 2 years ago that everyone seemed so sure about. No one on the right seems to be too worried. 

Tuesday can’t come fast enough

How many times have you been been persuaded to change your mind by an argument that started with, “you’re a Nazi”?

I, wait...are we really drawing distinctions between “It wasn’t 88%, it was 83%,” and, “So and so voted with Trump 60% of the time,” when that 60% was for continuance of funding or pass-fail bills that benefitted Democratic constituents and concerns.

Are we really doing that? Less than, what, forty-eight hours apart?

Hol…

“Let’s be clear about what happened here — Donald Trump Jr misstated statistics so he could attack Angus King with a neo-Nazi dogwhistle,” ThinkProgress journalist Aaron Rupar tweeted.

Not really, they’re just privileged dicks
