It’s known as arguing in the alternative, and it’s perfectly valid.

It’s not a favor, it’s recognition that the mechanism in place—as imperfect as it is—is the best hope we have of avoiding a calamitous presidency.

It’s the system, but it’s not what people think the system is. This is in fact the moment for which the electoral college was designed - a group of wise men will see that the great unwashed were taken in by an unfit demagogue, and make a different choice. It’s a grim historical irony that we’re in this moment because…

Counterpoint: There is no cognitive dissonance between A) recognizing that the electoral college is a wholly undemocratic way to choose a president; and B) understanding that the electoral college is how we choose presidents, and therefore trying to work within that system to obtain a not-apocalyptic result.

It’s not “intellectually dishonest” to favor abolishing an institution that you also think should do the job it was created for.

...538 people conspiring together to decide the president is about as un-democratic an electoral process as one could imagine. 

When Young William put on the black hat in last night’s episode, and then slowly raised his head to reveal himself as Old William, I felt like I was watching a nine-year-old pull a rabbit out his pants at the elementary school talent show.

“In additon to Danny. You have playmakers all around.” Meaning not justnin the backfield. You have to worry about Danny, the wr. You’re better than this, Samer.

You’re right, that’s what he was asked but he also clearly shifted his answer to playmakers and qualified his response by using that specific word after he mentioned Danny. Beware your over-conclusions

Yes, but I think it’s at least plausible that the mistake that was made was talking about Danny Amendola when asked about running backs, or he was just saying “and by the way, you have to worry about Danny, too.” Which is wrong either way, but that would just be absurd if he was referring to Woodhead. I’ve got nothing…

“Danny” is likely referring to Amendola..

Maybe. But in this age of Trumps, Shkrelis, and McConnells, I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt. Because I’m tired of being depressed as fuck over humanity.

At first I thought watching a game backward didn’t make a lot of sense. Then I realized it’s just another perspective. And from that perspective every game ends in a tie. And then I thought, why not draft another power forward?

lol nerds.
