If I lived someplace where standing up would accomplish something? Yeah, I think I would. (Though this particular weekend I was taking care of a sick boyfriend, so I probably would have passed.)

Good, and I really hope so. It’s just unfortunate and disheartening that the history of mass protests like this has just not been particularly productive for our side over the last 20 years or so. I have absolutely no problem with the people who get out and protest and then make those calls and write those letters to…

Throwing bricks is useless. Voting and getting people to vote with you is what works. You’re not helping.

Home, taking care of my sick boyfriend, actually.

I’m criticizing the protesters that won’t show up for the election, yes. I’m criticizing the protesters that aren’t there for the protest, but are there for the social event, yes.

When protesting actually gets shit done, we’ll talk again.

How do you figure I don’t invest in the process? I donate what little money I can to the causes I support, I’ve voted for progressive candidates reliably for almost 24 years (I cast a protest vote for Perot on my first ballot before he went and revealed himself to be truly insane after his first run) and I plan on…

Nope, I’m not. Won’t pretend I am. I genuinely don’t have the strength or lack of awkwardness to do it. I’m talking about the people who get out and protest, who have networks of people that they can support and be supported by. Unfortunately, I’m not one of those people.

You’re definitely not alone.

Then they need to prove me wrong.

The problem is that when it comes to younger people protesting, it’s far, far too easy to fall into the trap of being there because it’s a social event and the impression often given by “woo-hoo!” girls is one of having a good time and being there for the event, not for the cause. And this has been a really large…

The problem is that without articles like this one, there’s no hope that the left *will* get its shit together and be capable of fighting back. Look at Occupy Wall Street, for example. So many people, so many disparate approaches, so little organization and focus on the fight after Zucotti park was cleared out, that…

Come on, don’t dis President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. For all his flaws as a President, he did the one thing we should all want a President to do: Find the people smarter than him and actually listen to what they have to say.

This is my problem with protests. It’s so incredibly hard to imagine these people actually getting motivated next time when it really matters. If they were contacting congresspeople, getting involved in local politics, etcetera, they’d be an unstoppable force. But ... they’re not. They have no ability to stick it out.

No, no no. *200 million* eligible voters didn’t vote for him, and 65 million of them voted against him. Hit the idiot with *those* numbers.

Best bet is Melania or anyone else he’s ever filed taxes jointly with.

Or, we’ll push him so hard that even his party will be done with his shit and want to get him gone and out of the way long before 2020 so they can try and make Pence look like less of a prick by then.

This, so much this. He has to be able to come off as totally non threatening, until that one moment when you realize just how dangerous he’s been the while time. I think McHale could pull that off amazingly well. Especially with the right misdirections in marketing to set expectations.

Strong’s take on Sinestro was absolutely perfect, considering the material he had to work with. He looked the part, acted it well, and didn’t have any real stand out bad moments that weren’t due to a shit script.

I would call this list extremely solid, though I personally would have flipped GTA4 and San Andreas.
