Maserati is a regular-ass, mainstream luxury car company now—with just enough sporting flair thrown in to maintain their brand’s value and cachet. “Maserati” doesn’t mean what it used to, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, at least from their perspective. They’re selling better than they ever have, so it appears…

The difference is that while their extremists want to kick out all the immigrants, ban abortion (and a host of other things) and just generally implement the most awful, authoritarian evils known to man... our “extremists” want universal health care, free public college tuition, higher taxes for the rich, and so on.…

Well, I agree. We do need all of that. But this seems like something that might be a bit easier to implement. 

Here’s an idea. This is a little out there, so bear with me:

Yo, just a heads up: you’re arguing with one of the biggest assholes on this website. YYY doesn’t give one solitary fuck about anything even remotely approaching sanity or rational discourse, *particularly* when it comes to the issue of progressives voting for Hillary in 2016, which they clearly did not do and are…

Won’t somebody think of the profits?!?!

He did make clear on a few occasions that he supported criminal justice reform. But— speaking as someone who voted for him—it was also painfully obvious where his priorities were from the very beginning. His pathological inability to shift gears away from economics and speak to issues of racism directly hurt him…

That statement struck me as odd. Sure, everyone who isn’t rich should be on the same side—in theory. But in practice, the majority of poor whites in this country have fallen for the right-wing propaganda that blames all of their problems on black, brown and LGBT people. They represent the most powerful tool that the…

I mean, #notallwhiteprogressives, and all... but the fact is, many white progressives really don’t want to prioritize (or discuss at all, really) the fight against racism. That means criminal justice and police reform, obviously, but it’s also a cultural struggle against the attitudes that perpetuate racism and the…

Believe it or not, I do understand that ownership of “the means of production” is a big part of capital-S Socialist theory, and that true believers like yourself have been advocating for it for a very long time. I learned about the concept from my avowed-socialist mother, actually, a college professor who taught…

Here’s the thing, guys: what most (sane) lefties support is not technically even called socialism. It is called Social Democracy, and it absolutely involves markets and a specific kind of well-controlled capitalism. It is capitalism with socialist characteristics, in other words, and that’s exactly what Elizabeth…

That one Boomer literally directly above your comment right now...

Honestly, this probably has more to do with his rivalry with Trump than anything else. He’s not all that popular with the GOP base right now because of his failure to kiss the ring in 2016 and his occasional anti-Trump statements since then.

But you endure the abuse because tax cuts I guess?

Daily? Try “once every two weeks... maybe... if we feel like it”.

Peace? Sounds like some pussy shit to me. 

I assure you, there were plenty of Lost Cause assholes around at the time who could have promulgated that narrative without Lee’s assistance. His death by Union gallows would only have magnified and accelerated their deification of him.

And turned him into even more of a martyr than he already is?

1. ICE was absolutely corrupt during the Obama administration, and well before it. They spent the entire eight years of his presidency chomping at the bit to do exactly what they’re doing now, while actively working to undermine every attempt he made to reign in their fascist tendencies. The only difference today is…

We’re voting on both this year, yes—but we need 67 votes to remove Trump from office, and it is literally impossible for us to do that this year because there aren’t that many Republican seats up for re-election in 2018. We can’t even get to 60, for a supermajority. The absolute best we can do is 58 seats, but I…
