I’m a certified Cicerone (look it up - my work paid for it when i was still in the beer biz) so i’m about a big a beer nerd as it gets and i LOVE Coors and Budweiser. Anytime I see it on draft I order it.

Also if you’re saying all artisanal coffee is bullshit it’s because you’re a plebe who’s afraid of something that cool people like. Now WAITING for artisanal coffee is bullshit. But nobody’s forcing you to order pour over. Drew bitched about Blue Bottle but you can just say “small coffee please” and ten seconds later,…

You can find it ridiculous that there could possibly be 37 diff. gender identities but also support equal rights for all. In fact, I’m doing that right now. That’s why Sargent’s claim is inaccurate.

yes, and i am one of those people, even though i’m a wildly left SF liberal.

what the hell are you talking about? please explain how jost’s joke explicitly says we should deemphasize equal rights for all.

Holy lord man, if you can’t see how something like radical gender politics doesn’t alienate white, religious, rural America, you’re totally blind. And there is NOTHING about “deemphasizing equality for all” by pointing out that it’s absurd to have 37 gender identity options. Nothing about that is mean-spirited. Jost…

“ Jost was not ribbing his viewers with the idea that Hillary Clinton lost because Democrats focus too much on the intricacies of identity”

yes, this a baffling idea. it’s also probably why democrats lost the election.

it’s both, actually. tell people in red states that trans people can use any bathroom they want, syrian refugees are welcome, gays can marry, weed is legal, gasoline is killing us, and if you don’t like any of that then you’re a troglodyte — this is what you get.

See, there’s a pretty fucking wide gulf between “cater to racists” and “37 different gender identities on Tinder.” If we can’t see why it’s insulting to “middle america” that the left has been busy coming up with three dozen gender identities but doesn’t care to do shit for the white cis people in the rust belt then,…

pretty much all of it. the joke, which i agree with, was pointing out that while the left was busy going down the rabbit hole of identity politics, giant swaths of the country have been both left behind and forced to confront lots of social/cultural change all at once. like it or not, this IS why the democrats lost…

Can I please come to your house and bottle your optimism? It’s like you don’t see the looming crackdown on all of us under Herr Fuhrer Trump. There won’t be a non state-controlled media in 6 months.

HEY! IT’S NOT THE FUCKING PRESIDENT’S JOB TO REGULATE THE PRESS! THE WHOLE POINT IS A FREE AND INDEPENDENT PRESS! It’s like you actually welcome a dictator in charge of your life. Fucking hell we’re fucked.

yes i think it’s fair to include the people who didnt vote. at least partially because lots of them were prevented from voting by the vile fucking scum that is the GOP.

Look man, it’s not that hard to understand, you’re putting too much thought into this. The people blasting you on here were and currently are a whole lot more afraid of Trump than you. I’m one of them. I think we’ve just elected somebody with a very real chance of Putin-izing this country. Clampdown on the press, a…

“I don’t believe he will be the anti-christ as some suppose.”

You really think we’ll be allowed to vote in 2018? Extremely optimistic.

Ya, I’m an editor at a surf magazine. We put more thought into what we present than CNN does, clearly.

Speaking of angry - Fuck your take on California. “Awful”? What the fuck are you talking about. It’s literally composed of all the best (and worst) bits of the rest of the nation’s topography. It’s objectively the best state, and soon the be the best nation on earth once we jettison the rest of this fucked-up country…
