In fairness (to the people dismissing Warren), the primary we had was in a state adjacent to her “home” state, and a majority of the primary state’s population lives within the same media market as Warren’s “home” state. Her getting half as many votes as Amy Klobuchar is pretty damning. Warren should’ve enjoyed…

Just chiming in to say: kudos to your mom for being better than her own mother.

I’ve been married 10 years and the only secret to that kind of stability is that we both accepted that we’ll never be “perfect”. I don’t want to play board games every night just like he doesn’t want to binge Broadchurch every night. That said, I still enjoy his company, and when we do have one of those big problems…

Her inner demons are significant.  She really is a strong woman and I love how honest she’s being about her “weakness” here, her vanity but also understanding that it comes from trauma.  Nothing is ever black and white, is it?

I love that morning-after dress-debacle photo, too.

Jane Fonda I don’t hate

Yes. A crocs appreciation thread is in order.

Ugh, no. She knew who Jeffrey Epstein was, and she took his money anyway. She is defending Andrew as the best man she knows, all while she knows he is shady as hell. She is all about how to get money and status for herself. I do think that back in the day the tabloids treated her badly, but she is not a good person.…

I mean, this Toxicity dude doesn’t know any more about the future than any of us, but I’m not sure losing will exactly help the progressive cause. It’ll just mean more “see progressivism doesn’t work!” narratives going forward. At least right now, Bernie’s 2016 fans can tell themselves he would have beaten Trump.

Someone in my twitter feed was like ‘klobuchar is the candidate that will be able to DESTROY Trump in the debates,” and all I could think was that trump could eat his boogers during the debates and his fans would still vote for him. The debates between T and the dem candidate are going to be totally useless. There is…

I play a little game called “put ‘em there” which is simply to imagine each candidate inserted into a chat amongst world leades at a NATO or G7 event.

To summarize your amazing words: You won’t get a whole lot of people knocking on doors to say, “Have you heard of Amy Klobuchar? She’s the adult in the room!”

“Klob2020 - She Wants To Talk To The Manager - Of AMERICA!”

Except there’s a lot of hate for Buttigieg as well, he’s a shady actor among shady actors and does not have the experience to really jump into a Presidency. He’s smug and smarmy and says buzzwords, but ultimately has nothing but empty anecdotes and platitudes - he will not change the status quo and I doubt he can…

For all the troubling evidence of fractures in the Democratic Party over the past couple of weeks (and really over the past couple of years), I am actually really drawing a lot of hope from everyone...socialist, centrist, white, black, male, female....coming together in a shared, united, unshakable disdain for Pete…

I guess it’s good that Harry wants his kid to have a “better” upbringing than him. But let’s be real, he will always be a public figure, his wife will always be a public figure, and his child will always be a public figure. As much as I get him wanting a more peaceful life, he isn’t going to get it.

Both of those wars are still in effect though? They both qualify to me as “in the here and now”, which is probably why they get talked about.

Also isn’t he pretty squishy on abortion, like opposing Federal funding for abortions and waffling on it being a sin?

“I’m the reason why this right [access to legal abortion] wasn’t taken away a long time ago,” Biden said.

Why would you be reluctant? These jumbo states have the most diverse populations. Any other state and you’re not including the sheer amount of diversity in the US. I would argue that either IL or NY is the best state to start because you get racial, sexual, economic, and geographic diversity. People would actually…
