I guess he hasn’t gotten the memo that one could use computers to review 650K emails in some sort of automated fashion.

The law isn’t bullshit, sending her to jail is.

Usually if you are white, you are supposed to chortle uncomfortably, if you are slapping your knee and yelling “That’s what them niggers(with the r)/spics/dagos/Welshmen are always like”, then that is inappropriate.

I can’t believe this is the shit we argue about in 2016 and that Donald Trump could be our president next week. What the hell happened?

Apparently you didn’t read it...

I have a pretty fucking strong indication of what sticks. If a video saying he enjoys sexual assault and 13 accusers doesn’t stick, nothing sticks. And things that require this much explanation to illustrate culpability certainly don’t stick in brain dead america. He’s gaining!!! Everyday he’s doing better than the…

If you think a couple obvious debate questions rigged the primary, you’re fooling yourself.

The fact you think Bernie would be ahead by 25 points means I KNOW you’re fooling yourself. During the primaries I did a quick look into the things Bernie said and did during his long political career, and quickly realized that…

The fucking naivete of this statement is just... astounding.

The Prestige TV Show Hot Take Economy is extremely bad and dumb, but so is arguing that the way that we talk about and depict our world in fiction is irrelevant and not worth talking about in general. Granted that many people do it in a way that is stupid and wearying - that doesn’t invalidate the broader principle…

No, I was not at all saying what you somehow took from what I wrote. I was saying this whole “earn my vote” thing sounds entitled and like we are all owed democracy and stability when in fact it should be everyone’s job to safeguard those things. I tend to have some sympathy for (some) politicians who are forced to…

Are you really this stupid?

Nate Silver and fivethirtyeight run an elaborate betting pool. People think this is prediction, but it’s odds. Sometimes, the house loses. That doesn’t make it smart to bet against them.

Yes, yes, the misogynist’s fallback - “a woman president is okay but just not THAT woman”

Or - people have a obligation to research and vote for the candidate who will best serve the country’s interests. This isn’t a game where the two candidates are simply vying for a prize. The election affects all of us. This idea that “so-and-so needs to earn my vote” is always a little grating.

Yeah, before 2016, I actually was feeling pretty confident about our place in the world. After this, I feel sick. We women still have a long way to go.

She’s overwhelmingly competent, capable, experienced, and accomplished. She has endured decades of go-nowhere investigations and scandals.

A tax on your income of 10%... okay, yeah. Rich Person A actually only spends 70% of their income, so getting taxed 10% is no biggie. Poor Person B spends 100% of their income, so being taxed 10% is a big deal to them.

A progressive tax is the fairest system, the problem is the deductions and loopholes.

Sales taxes, VAT etc automatically present a problem. Any decent politician knows why; they disproportionally hurt poor people, because the tax represents a bigger proportional hit on people with low incomes compared to people with high incomes. A decent government tries to balance various taxes and rebates to make a…

Pretty sure Ross Perot was during his lifetime, and at one point was polling higher than 13%.
