“I’m not American, so I have more than two viable choices in any given election. I’ve always been entirely satisfied with the people I’ve voted for.”

“ The emotional, self absorbed way most white people reject that fact is why white supremacy is still the law of the land. Until every white person accepts their complicity, no matter how small or unintentional, we are not going to get very far.”

“Elections have consequences.”

For the next time someone equates the Democrats with the Republicans, the bill passed the House on a 224-201 vote, with no Democrats backing it and a dozen House GOP members voting no.

“...clueless celebrities would accelerate the process of our decline?”

“Any congressional majority is going to include people like Doug Jones and Joe Manchin, people who are hated by a certain segment of the left and independents who only care about their specific causes.”

“They had a republican congressman, don’t remember which one as they’re all essentially the same these days, on NPR this morning talking about just that. The argument goes that less people will need entitlement programs because there will be so much growth and jobs and bullshit so they may as well shrink the programs…

“And I think a viable third party would cause a lot of soul searching in both Rep and Demo houses when they realize they actually have to stick to their principles...”

“They learned NOTHING from their own mistakes, just like Clinton and the democratic party learned nothing from theirs.” 

“That’s correct. It’s what Nixon did that was sort of a last straw that led congress to basically tell Nixon if he didn’t resign, they were going to vote to impeach and remove him from office.”

“Then we get to see a true constitutional crisis. Republicans will support the move, because they’re fascists.
