Nobody should go bankrupt because they got sick, or die because they couldn't pay. People have a right to tax-funded public education. Our military spending is out of control. Our carceral state is out of control. There are not nearly enough anti-discrimination protections. Voting rights must be protected. If this is…

At least it's starting to seem like if we go to their offices and scream at them in crowds of thousands, they'll do the right thing. I'm headed to my rep's town hall Sunday. Hopefully the fear of getting primaried will make the Dems do their jobs.

That only happened in the brains of delusional centrists who think West Wing is real.

Your aunt is bad.

She adopted the platform but neglected to make it part of her message. She disappeared for weeks at a time, trotted out Warren Buffet, Mike Bloomberg, and Leon fucking Panetta, and treated any young activist that got within ten feet of her with contempt.

After seeing the shit that the Republicans are pushing through in a matter of weeks, are you still clinging to the fiction that the Democrats in 2009, with the presidency, a mandate, and a supermajority in Congress, were somehow unable to act? No, Democrats chose not to allow a public option, and Democrats chose not…

Oh lord

Christ, you people will never stop blaming leftists, will you? It's lunacy.

Dude no, you're essentially arguing that a candidate should not be expected to actually campaign. That a candidate should not actively appeal to people's specific interests in order to get that support. You have to do that, "the other guy sucks" will always be a losing strategy.

God forbid the Democrats give people a reason to vote for them, instead of just berating people into voting against the Republicans. That would be too much like actually doing politics for them.

Ha, I was 18 and remember thinking "this would have been enough to make me watch this terrible show a few years ago."

Smug, and similar to poo, I would think.

Personally I think it's time we gave Pitbull a chance.

I disagree, I think only a few are idiots (Trump of course, Louie Gohmert) but they're just all evil. If they were all dumb they wouldn't control all branches of the federal government and the majority of states.

I know plenty of women, some of them musicians, who love Leonard Cohen and all this "sad bastard music." This just her weird hangup.

Liberals will have no interest, but socialists will. Me at a rally in 2018:

100% definitely voted for Trump, I would bet my own sack that he voted for Trump.

The widdle diapies that I put on my RealDoll are not "absurd" in the slightest, they prevent spillage in cases of fluid overflow.

Shit, this is going to be a long 8 years.

No, I'm defining it as Corey Robin did in The Reactionary Mind. The simplest way of putting it is a tendency toward hierarchy, toward systems of dominance and control. Here you are angry that these members of the underclass have acted contrary to your wishes. Since you are their better, you want to punish them for…
