Thank god you have your priorities down. Not the abhorrent racism and abuse. But that they didn’t endorse Sanders!  The nerve!  What names shall we call them?

There are several dubious notions you have to accept as true to believe impeachment is going to be good for 2020. First, that there is some large group of potential Democrats who are eager to see Trump held accountable but somehow not eager to vote in 2020. This to me is the hardest one to accept. I mean who are these

I don’t think getting acquitted by the Senate, which is what would have happened, would have discouraged the crimes. 

It’s be great if we could make the whole frustrating thing moot by just voting him the fuck out of office. Nancy Pelosi’s leadership on this issue has been shit. The simple fact is, a lot of her party wanted impeachment, and she could have let it go forward (which it is) without shitting all over the idea, which has

I love it

holy crap

Thank you for doing the lord’s work. Just to clarify for everyone who this comment was aimed at, over/under refers to a number target, not whether or not some event will occur. For example, you might ask “what’s the over/under on the number of times Beth farts this afternoon”, someone would reply with “15 and a half”,

Don’t forget the billboards they put up. It’s amazing the amount of attention, effort and money that went into a lawsuit for a football game while they currently have one of the biggest homeless problems in the nation.

It’s amazing how difficult these conversations can be.

If you see something, and you have the savvy and insight of a psychiatrist, say something.

It’s weird to me when people on a sports site don’t know what “over/under" means.

Yeah, if you are a marxist then there is literally no possibility of bernie being the kind of socialist you are looking for - there’s not an iota of daylight between him and warren as far as that goes, so the distinction you are trying to draw between them is fake news. The only way that disinction makes sense is if

Nonsense. He’s totally right. MOST systems are a blend of capitalist and socialist principles. What doesn’t inspire confidence is your total lack of argument or facts disproving what he said.

for when there is far too much blood in your caffeine stream

Yes to this! Capitalism is a mechanism for low-friction exchange of value. It is not inherently moral or Christian or evil or corrupt. But without guardrails its outcomes can be very destructive and reward the worst impulses in humanity. I agree with everything Bernie says, but I don’t see him providing a cogent pathw

If you’re a farmer and you invent a plow that makes plowing your field way easier, boom, you’ve been rewarded for your innovation.

My god talk like this is so frustrating.

42% of U.S. G.D.P. is controlled by various government entities. Even in the super socialist countries like Denmark and Finland, the percent of G.D.P. controlled by the government is a whopping . . . 56%.

So the difference between an ardently pro capitalist country and radical

Exactly - the only big difference between Sanders and Warren on that front, that I can see, is that Warren says she’s fine with capitalism and Sanders doesn’t, but it’s not like Sanders is somehow LESS capitalist than Warren, policy-wise.
