500,000 Iraqi children (who would be adults now) would beg to differ if they hadn’t died from Clinton’s sanctions. Or maybe the Serbs should thank him for all of the cluster bombs NATO dropped that still pose a threat to civilians after killing hundreds. Or maybe the millions of new prison inmates that resulted from…

I know she meant well, but I really hate this mentality that the high road is the ideal place to be.

“Going high is the only thing that works,”

You can count me as someone who does not like seeing the fucking Democrats 1. take our votes for fucking granted, 2. shove once again a half-assed piece of shit candidate who isn’t even trying because he thinks he’s got our votes in the fucking bag because “who else are you going to vote for?” as if the answer won’t…

Somehow even this is the fault of the left. It’s incredible how influential the left is, while also apparently being completely negligible electorally.

Right? I can’t believe all the jubilation in the comments over this. She’s literally a cop and as someone significantly to her left I’d take a less progressive VP over a fucking cop.

Picking a cop is a terrific move in the current climate. Great stuff. 

Reagan was a piece of shit and should not be lionized at all. Trying to prop a villain like Reagan up just to score political points against other right wing zealots is shortsighted. We should not be whitewashing the real history of a monster like Reagan.

Underrated burn this.

“Our racism is polite and happens behind closed doors. It’s subtle and buried deep in policy changes and laws. Being an obnoxious racist in public is so undignified and low class. We can’t be associated with such shenanigans.”

Who would want to be associated with a senile, racist, misogynistic, crass, corrupt, criminal TV president, who threatens public health and democracy? Also, Donald Trump is pretty bad, too.

No, but it is also far, far, far, far from ideal.

As a side discussion, the argument that Biden is considered centrist, non-threatening and bland says a huge amount about American politics.

This is is cancel culture, right? Bari Weiss, J.K. Rowling, and all the other Harper’s letter signatories are going to rally to Nick’s defense, and slam Viacom for shutting down opposing viewpoints and short circuiting the marketplace of ideas, right?

Remember Natasha Tynes, the lady who got “cancelled” because she tried to get an MTA worker fired for eating on the train?

In the wake of this “second wave” (really, first wave part two) there’s been this narrative that “young people” are getting infected at higher rates because they’ve decided to go out partying to the bars that are open to them or they’re hosting parties at their own homes. Therefore, young people, you better behave and…

No need for the condescension. I make my point perfectly clear in the very next paragraph: A Democrat is likely to lose in Kentucky either way, and that McGrath—someone who received a lot more campaign contributions, had a huge head start, and outspent her competition—SQUEAKED out a win isn’t the vote of confidence…

McConnell ain’t losing so having this argument is just so pointless, but points for making me read “vote blue no matter who” the one millionth time this cycle.

Fun fact about the paragraph on police brutality: change “McGrath” to “Klobuchar,” and there’s literally no other difference.

Golly, we finally get peace talks in Afghanistan and it looks like we may be ending our $45 billion a year boondoggle over there after almost 20 years, but then the peace talks are sabotaged by this perfectly timed story with shady sourcing — a story which just so happens to be perfectly crafted to predispose…
