Pretty much. Clinton is most likely, almost assuredly going to win the nomination. That doesn’t mean no one should support Bernie, but those doing so shouldn’t be under the illusion that he’s likely to win, or that his major policy prescriptions are politically feasible in any way. But there are a lot of white…
No one said that. EVER #notallberniesupporters
I agree. It’s very disappointing, and frankly, I am VERY concerned for the future of the Democratic Party if things continue on this way. While I like Bernie’s ideas for single-payer healthcare and free college, he has no feasible plans to implement them if elected. His healthcare plan alone is at least a trillion…
Hillary Clinton’s 3-page memo to the media really makes it sound like she’s not expecting to win the nomination, period =\ ... And the talk I’m hearing regarding Sanders ground game in South Carolina seem to support that conclusion =\ .
Chris Christie absolutely wrecked that little shit and I for one could not be happier about it. I hold no high opinions of the NJ governor, but I am sympathetic to his clear “How am I behind these fucking fuckers” angst, and I love the fact that he seems to have destroyed Rubio’s campaign just because he could.
I’m pissed that Noah seems committed to steering clear of anything resembling actual political commentary, and has consistently gone for the easy, superficial take. And you’re just pissed that all the people who are capable of doing smart, funny political commentary are too smart to be conservative, apparently.
Nah. I was rooting for Noah. I had high hopes before he started, and I held onto hope for months, but it’s not happening. Noah was handed a show with a devoted, passionate, informed audience, and some truly spectacular material to work with in the current election cycle, and he’s been a total wet noodle. And it seems…
He’s doing a flimsy, watered-down version of the Daily Show, minus any actual political insight.
I thought Willa Pasquin at Slate did a really good job articulating why The Daily Show with Trevor Noah feels so unsatisfying and isn’t serving the role the show used to.
I really - REALLY - tried to give Trevor Noah a chance but it is just not clicking with me. I think either Samantha Bee or Jessica Williams should have gotten the show once John Oliver left for HBO. I remember when The Daily Show was appointment TV viewing and now it’s just....there.
Same here. I record both Noah and Larry Wilmore and I find myself always just skipping The Daily Show and watching The Nightly Show. I enjoy Larry way more. There’s something that is off about Noah. I read an article in Salon and a comment mentioned how Noah seems smug and maybe that’s it. I always feel like he’s…
Oh yeah, I was really, really rooting for Trevor Noah, and it’s just not working. His delivery is no good. It sounds like he’s reading from a script, and doesn’t actually understand the political system he’s supposed to be critiquing. John Oliver is a foreigner, but he does well—his tactic is to learn all the wonky…
You should listen to Undisclosed, if you enjoyed Serial. It’s by people on Adnan’s side, but the evidence is pretty clear. The cell-phone records are complete garbage, the time-line just doesn’t make sense at all, the medical examiner fucked up, it’s all bad.
Cynicism is always tempting, I hear that. I’m given to it myself, at times. But I think this is too consequential an election for anyone to sit out. Many of the tremendous gains of the last eight years would be erased by a republican in the White House, and then some.
Are you willing to let Roe v. Wade be overturned for that vision to occur? How about the ACA? Would it be worth it to get in another war in the Middle East? These are all things that would almost certainly happen under the watch of a Republican president.
Agreed. I like Bernie, but it really bums me out to see so many members of my party buying into the GOP brainwashing about Hillary and not realize that most of it is rooted in sexism.
I know people get upset by this but there’s no way in hell Bernie’s going to be elected President. That’s why Republicans want him to win the nomination. If that happens, hello Republican control of every part of our government, state and federal. Seem like a lot of Bernie supporters would be quite happy with that…
The GOP messaging about Hillary being an evil overlord was supposed to scare off swing voters.
