Word. “I would add that there could be a balance...” is my kind of cicada, too. Sadly, people are more interested in all-or-nothing instead of rational thought and adult decision making.

Report first, check facts later?
I’m not sure where you are going with that reply since I was not at any point suggesting that the GOP is going to help anyone. The point was that the left sat around in smug self-assuredness, and lost in one of the most embarrassing political upsets I have witnessed in my life. THe GOP is the GOP, and it will continue…
More like, “Get ready for *crickets* on Gawkebel.”
Seriously. I plopped a small but not-so-small-I-don’t-care amount on SWHC the day of the election since I was sure Hillary had it in the bag. It worked out very nicely with Obama. Oh well, you win some you lose some.
“...even though most GOP voters are pretty dumb… The internet and the information age is beginning to reveal the smoke and mirrors that is the GOP. Its being exposed for the sham it is.”
I think that we are mostly in agreement, then. Racism had a part, still unquantified, in the outcome of this election. The Dems spent way too much time and energy focusing on that instead of actually working on winning, the media turned it into a giant mouth-foaming circus, and a lot of people on both ends of the…
Racism is at an all time low per the best available data from legitimate sources. If you desire to believe otherwise, or the complete opposite, you are more than welcome to. I am just not sure if doing so is actually helpful for the purposes of reducing/eliminating racism. Operating on the best available, accurate,…
That NYT link is garbage. Their link to the FBI’s site is broken, and the three other source links in the article are to...other NYT articles. Also, are we now pretending that the NYT’s statistics on anything are worth two shits, after what just happened a couple weeks ago? Honestly, does anyone fact check the news…

This is one of the better summaries of what was laughably wrong with the left’s strategy this time. Keep in mind that the author despises Trump, but mainly due to his terrible policy positions. Measuring “racism” is notoriously difficult (good luck getting…
“And it would almost certainly lead to some kind of civil war so yeah maybe it is a bad thing, but it’s a risk I’m totally down for taking because the alternative is our projected reality.”
What will go on record is that the left was completely and totally unable to cope with reality and ran around making empty gestures instead. Based on what I am seeing from my fellow progressives since the election ended, we are going to lose a lot more seats in DC in 2 years. This current attitude of needing to…
Yup. This is money that could have gone to PP or other very important organizations that can, will and do have materially positive impacts on many people every day. Instead, millions of dollars have been wasted on something that is only going to cause (delusionally hopeful) people more disappointment.
The entire election became a shit show with the media feeding a constant narrative that left-leaning people wanted to hear/believe. If there is one thing that everyone loves, it is to be told that their hatred of something is justified. Per the Southern Poverty Law Center, the KKK’s membership is 6,000 people in…
So...a “brand ambassador” for a makeup company does an interview where she explains why women should buy makeup?
And if this becomes the Dems’ party line going forward, there won’t be a blue seat left in the government by 2020.
I, personally, never thought he would do a single one of the things he said he did. It is one of many, many reasons I did not ever consider voting for him.
Yup. He is nuts, and vastly scarier than Trump. I was really not anticipating an Evangelical theocracy yesterday.
“You have to be comfortable enough with all his racism, sexism and xenophobia to vote for him.”
