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

I’d say the reaction to a joke that was kinda clever, kinda meh, very harmless is perhaps a reason why Democrats lost the election.

Agreed. The irony is palpable: using the word “redneck” to describe the people Jost is talking about demonstrates his point exactly. Until the Dems can figure out how to engage the demographic that that slur refers to instead of continue to degrade it, we’re well and thoroughly screwed.

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…

Bruce Arena? Jesus Christ if we’re doing rehashes I’d rather they just bring back Bob Bradley.

He’d probably tell Gulati to fuck off though. And he’d be right to do so.

This is literally the first time I have ever seen this gif without the good Senor going full Super Saiyan-2.

The rehiring of Arena is a pretty clear sign that we’re done trying to improve and are ok with mediocrity.

I’m going to say no, but only because I don’t want you having final creative control over the uniforms.

I see what you did there

Yeah, but can you take a raccoon in a fight? Like no weapons?

No, no you can’t.

He should be able to get a job in the Trump administration pretty easily.

He was an absolute inconsistent and shit in game manager.
