But thats my point. Don’t say “smart people are in denial” if their reasoning lines up more with someone else’s math. Say “here’s my case for why my kung-fu is the strongest”.

This is the problem. All of these sites publish their data methods. He should be poking holes in their assumptions or algorithms, not bringing in unfalsifiable just-so stories. It’s his web site’s job to replace those modes of explanation.

It’s amazing how the media has whipped up a horse race JUST IN TIME for the debates, this has to be perhaps the most coincidental set of circumstances of all time! 

That’s exactly what they want if Hillary is forced to start everything she says by that’s a lie and correcting lies, she spends all her time correcting shit spew and very little time on anything meaningful.

While there are opinions, there also exists reality. Things that have and have not happened; things that do and do not exist. This sounds very obvious, but people seem to be increasingly forgetful that reality exists.

Do they like sports? A debate is no different. Two teams or two athletes play each other. Each team or athlete has an offense and a defense. The same for debaters. Their offense is their own views. Their defense is responding to their opponents’ views.

A debate in which that is the case requires that some base level of commonly accepted facts exists. This is not the case with Trump, who continues to insist on provably false statements like “I was against the war in Iraq” (he was for it, until later he was against it when everyone was realizing it had been a bad…

The problem with the ‘let the candidates sort it out’ approach is that corrections by the candidates themselves are seen as more partisan attacks. They are ‘within the game’ of political dispute; it is expected that the opposing candidate would object. The result is that differences over clear falsehoods look no…

Particularly frustrating that so many well-meaning, progressive people seem to define racism purely in terms of attitudes and language rather than structural economic forces. You can’t solve this by yelling at people for using problematic language on Twitter. But that stuff sucks up such a huge portion of the…

How very evolved of you. Let's not talk about her ties to big business and let's just talk about sexism forever. Hillary never pandered to anyone in an unbecoming way did she?

You’re grossly misrepresenting what stein said. And your trick works with Hillary too. “The other is a corporate whore who supported the Iraq war.” See?

Bill didn’t rape Monica—but it’s not as simple as “they’re both adults,” either.

Honestly, I have way less of a problem with HRC than I do with her supporters who can’t just be reasonable like you and take a measured stance like this. The victim-shaming I’m seeing from HRC supporters elsewhere in this comment section is frankly terrifying.

How about refraining from bringing a rapist back into the White House?

He obviously abused his position of power over Monica Lewinsky? And Hillary did in trying to cover it up?

The whole Lewinsky thing came to light because he was being sued for sexual harassment by Paula Jones. He’s also been accused of sexual assault by Kathleen Willey, who says it took place while he was President. These two names I know off the top of my head, as I did Broaddrick, because it was such big news at the…

No investigation has disproven Broaddrick’s claim. Therefore, it all comes down to, do you believe a sexual assault victim or do you not? Hillary apparently does not. Or, she’s decided that supporting a rapist is just not that big deal.

It’s puzzling how so many people here are trying to exculpate Hillary in this.

People with “bad” credit got that by their OWN actions,
