Guys, pay attention. It was only the end of the second quarter. Look at the graphic in the corner. It says “2nd” right there on the screen. Such an embarrassment to see a mistake like that on this usually-wonderful website.

The joke is not on the people of Flint.

Nothing wrong here. Jokes are fun. Lighten up you fucking puritans.

C’mon. Don’t be obtuse.

Samer, I feel foolish telling you this, but this joke is not about the Flint water crisis, nor is that what makes this joke offensive.

This is really stupid

What if your nephew was like, “I’m not sure I’m even gonna vote. These people are both bad” on election day. But then the day after the election he wrote a blog on deadspin about how we’re all fucked because Trump won? What should I say to this specific type of shithead nephew?

B+ joke

I agree. The bottom line it that being right about issues (equality, the environment, education, etc.) is great, but it is of little value if you cannot find the path to success. I don’t care for Jost, and I think he is dangerously close to suggesting some level of pandering, but the sentiment of trying to figure…

>but Jost is saying that liberals should deemphasize equal rights for all people because it alienates rednecks.

I have a feeling that Jost would not characterize what he’s saying in that way. This piece would be a lot more effective if it accurately represented the viewpoint it’s arguing against.

it was a good joke
