Worse, people attribute their own personal beliefs to a candidate, regardless of the candidate’s stated views. I wonder how many of his supporters believe he is against cutting SS?

Nope. Your complaint about people voting on emotion is valid but your solution is wrong. Voter knowledge tests were a key component of Jim Crow, and would inevitably become a tool of disenfranchisement again; there will never be the resources available to prosecute every small-time big dick that tries to jam up…

Where do your numbers come from? I have seen a similar analysis for specific regions in Ohio and the uncounted burden of coal based air pollution, specifically in Barberton and, I think, Lorain? Just curious because it is an important topic that doesn’t get much attention.

There isn’t a single answer. From the comments in another thread, this election is what finally propelled some people to ditch toxic relationships. But I also respect the choice to hang in and do the long, hard work of changing peoples’ opinions. Right now, criticizing a Trump supporter is like telling your friend…

I admire your optimism but I do not share it. While the coalition between religious conservatives and the Republican Party was built on opposition to abortion, there are plenty of other targets to turn on the hate cannons, most notably, LGBT. When abortion wa decided as the glue to hold the coalition together, gay…

W’s first election was also a popular vote loss but he declared it a mandate, and governed as though he had a mandate. While your thought is logical, recent history does not bear it out.

It has been quite successful for republicans. Time for the democrats to become the party of NO.

I suggest you build a wall.

This is the country you fell in love with. Those good things still exist here because kind, decent and wise people live here. But this is also the county that imprisoned Japanese citizens for the crime of being Japanese (my German grandparents, in contrast, were not sent to an internment camp), exterminated thousands…

Do you blame the weatherman for the rain? They do the best they can with the available models, but most people still keep an umbrella in the car, just in case. Fucking vote, people. It matters.

Why let sixty-three percent of white men off the hook? That is the white whale of a problem, not the couple percent voting irrelevant parties.

Take the long view and go with bullshit excuse. Better yet, real excuse: have an elsewhere to be, perhaps a nice long weekend on a tropical island.

You may be right. Even if she pulls it out, the fact that it is so close means that we have lost our god damned minds.

I’ll share mine. She voted Clinton in Ohio.

So the picture accompanying the S-IB is a fried egg. Perhaps Deadspin is trolling us all with a reference to the old “this is your brain on drugs” meme. Because it has to be drugs, right?

Pennsylvania is in play! I realize that if you live in the midsection of the state it won’t feel that way, but perception != truth. Follow Mental Iceberg to the booth!

I saw a lot of misogynistic comments got unchallenged elsewhere, particularly liberal but not necessarily feminist sites like Wonkette, or the comment section of Charlie Pierce’s column at Esquire. It was jarring after spending time here, where those comments are likely to get called out.

At one point I think it was indicated that there were 200 or so guests, and 2000 hosts in the park total. So guest revenue is approx $8mil per day, excluding other revenue sources. The board is crabbing about money, so either it isn’t profitable enough, or the board is hella greedy.

Agreed, she is slightly shorter than me. I am also 5'7".

Your reference is 20 years old and still on point.
