For whatever it’s worth, this is exactly the problem. Liberalism is becoming a fascism of thought, often dictated by super corporate liberals who appeal to us as benign autocrats who we hold accountable for absolutely nothing other than speeches. Sorry, but it’s true. And that’s how we get lunatics like Trump on the…

No, I don’t believe any of that. I believe the ACA is flawed, yet routinely defended as you just defended it. If I don’t support it wholeheartedly, I obviously am a heartless jerk who believes poor people are immune from diseases and all those other crazy things you just mentioned. Nevermind the fact I actually had to…

Again, I don’t have a blue collar job, but my particular union sucks. For even numbers, let’s say the standard rate I get when negotiating on my own is $1000/week for a 40 hr work week.

Yes, and it’s the same logic with the ACA (which is a pretty flawed law inconveniently written by insurance lobbyists looking to make some $$$). If you’re against it on any level, you’re a rich fuck who literally wants poor people to die. Healthcare never existed before 2013 apparently, and poor folks just died en…

So being liberal is acquiescing to government mandates without question? Must have missed that sign at the protest.

Same here on all accounts. I realize I’m not a factory worker and don’t pretend to have any concept of what works for them, but in my profession (picture editor for film/tv), I have always been able to get a much better deal without a union, who incidentally requests a ridiculous initiation fee and dues. So it’s not…

The video I watched he got 11 balls. 2 or 3 were batting practice home runs, a few were from bullpen guys throwing some into the stands during warm ups, and 5 or 6 he fished from the stadium crevices with a glove tied to a string. Don’t think there were any live ones from the game.

Good lord. This is like a Michael Lewis novel (if Michael Lewis chose to write about basketball teams that won 20% of their games and misdrafted badly)
