Yes, we are shifting the goalposts, due to the entire landscape having shifted. We had no idea until a week ago that the entire legislature was going to hinge on a special election in January. A special election that, mind you happens BEFORE BIDEN OR ANY OF THE NEW CONGRESS TAKES OFFICE. Therefore there is absolutely…

Oh what the hell ever, getting a Senate tie with a Harris tiebreaking majority is a pretty big goddamn deal if you want to get anything done in the legislature. We have 2 solid years after that to hold Biden’s feet to the fire and push a very liberal agenda (which, again, I fully back).

Yeah, when I heard that metric I was like “that’s great! What are we not seeing on in that tidbit” Because some where truly swing districts you could make the argument that it would fall more moderate. But if M4A or health care in general isn’t a concern in the district (like maybe ending fracking could be) then it’s…

I’m all for the Left forcing Biden to get as liberal as possible, but I’d rather see that energy saved until after the GA special elections.

Dinner in first class on the Titanic involved 13 courses, every night. Get the hell away from me with the food!

Forrest Gump is Keyser Söze.

That is why a lot of people in 2016 were saying to not fuck around and vote even though some people Just Weren’t All That Excited About Hillary.

Side note: “like those pathetic 20-year olds who still visit their old high school at lunch.”

“Perhaps this fog will lift once Trump is reduced to a sweaty, bleating sideshow”

I had been thinking that even after all his screw-ups, if he had just let a second round of stimulus checks go through in October, the bastard would probably have won easily. It would have been the easiest, most half-ass measure ever, and he still didn't do it. 

THANK YOU. People treating this like a pathetic joke that will go nowhere... IS EXACTLY HOW WE ENDED UP HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE! Aaaaaaaaaaaaa

Take it very seriously. Then intent doesn’t matter. The actions do. And regardless of how long the odds are, Trump and all his minions all over the country from Justice of the Supreme Court to local poll watcher are all trying to steal the election for him. That’s what matters. They are trying to do it.

All he had to do, literally, was tell people to wear masks and pretend to care. He would have won the election. He’s spent his whole life doing as little as possible and whining about not getting enough credit. 

None of this is funny until he is actually gone...

I’ll be honest: it’d be a lot easier to read this article in its deserved seriousness, if it not for the ever-present, animated reminder that Drew Barrymore is apparently having one horny Halloween season.

Reagan courts the religious right.

Wait, one of them was willed to her grandfather as a wife by her grandmother? Why is no one else talking about this?
