hi! You are correct. We caught and fixed this typo shortly after posting, but it must not have updated immediately for you. Thanks for reading!

So this is a good question! And something that I have to grapple with as a reporter for almost every story. I did grow up in Texas and am from there (bristling at the idea of being called from D.C. lol), but this is also why I decided for this piece to talk to a ton of people on background or off record. I wanted to…

“If it brings good people to our town and increases our property value, I’m good with that.”

This is small-town, religious-conservative America aptly summed up in a single sentence.

These people aren’t ignorant of what’s going on, they just *don’t care*. Their sense of priorities are so askew that it’s impossible to…

Fucking Bloomberg, lol. Not even trying to present this impartially. The headline:

To: The SI Staff

Sexists: Overt sexists (see the criticisms of Warren being a “school marm” type). Subconscious sexists. People who don’t consider themselves sexist but also think a woman can’t win so they won’t vote for her.

Talk about hurting your head: I knew a guy in the run-up to the 2016 election who was like “I can’t decide if I’m voting for Bernie or Trump.”

Andrew Yang said that if you opt into his UBI plan it you would have to opt out of entitlements, but he was never clear what the entitlements were. If it was just food stamps then that would be one thing, but it could be WIC and Section 8 as well. 

Solid concern trolling there.  Author secretly wants to make an extra few dollars for clicks in exchange for continued Trump reign.  Nailed it.  Dummy.

Yeah, the astro-turfing here is embarrassing. Every single one of them is at least 2 paragraphs, with formatting, and buzzwords, and they all stick out like a sore thumb. It’s amazing that they think it’s believable here.

I was listening to the last deabte as I was driving home and when Yang said, “I’m Asian, so I know a lot of doctors”. I actually said, “holy shit”. I’m Jewish and I’ll make jokes like Yang did, but I wouldn’t do it in mixed company.

The amount of brand-new commenters on this article is something else.

“...White Nationalists find Asians to be the most agreeable non-white group in our society”)...”

A wiser man than I summed him up best- Gladwell writes books for people who don’t read books.

He’ll address those inconsistencies in his upcoming book, Not Only Just the Tip-ping Point

Gladwell has made an absolute killing by writing “Maybe just trust your gut” to boomers who just wanted confirmation bias that everything they think is right anyway.

Also, you don’t need a PhD to understand child rape/molestation. Paterno was a force and an institution at Penn State. He didn’t do that by being a kindly…

I like how Albert literally quotes an argument just like this from an actual commenter on another article and you refer to this as a “strawman argument.”

(Which is to say, off to the grays with you.)

There’s a nice harmony between the content of this comment and the speed with which you posted it, in that they both demonstrate incontrovertibly that you couldn’t be bothered to actually read the article.

again: this is not helpful advice for a primary when they are all running for the democratic nomination and the *entire purpose* of the primary is to vet and decide on the best one, however you define that.
