I find it very interesting that there are multiple random users flooding this thread with comments about the “moral majority,” but using that term to describe young, left-leaning people concerned with homophobia rather than what it’s always meant (right-wing evangelicals). If I didn’t know any better, I’d say this is…

Surely it was the mad despot, Jimmy Carter, who lamented his failure to build a 50 foot high wall to keep out all those (his words) “Damn peanut stealers”.

No. It’ll be no one. They’ll approve of no one.

If there’s any time to be critical about possible Democratic presidential candidates, it’s now. This is January 2019. This is not November 2020.

And people were getting judgmental when we called her an opportunist a few weeks ago.

Yes. Bernie Sanders nearly won the Democratic nomination last time around, and that was when superdelegates still had a say and also when nobody knew who he was.

You have literally never been to a restaurant in your life.

The “what do you expect, she’s from New York?” argument is lazy. If this was about her campaign receiving individual donations from people who work in the financial services industry, that argument makes some sense. But she’s ACTIVELY SOLICITING support from Wall Street executives, and when you ask some potential big…

The anti-Pelosi fight was, from the start, organized and messaged by the Blue-Dogs (who are basically just less-explicitly-racist Republicans). That’s why the progressives were the very first members to peel away and circle back to her.

Not to mention how many videos we’ve seen of teachers getting physically rough with students or fighting with them in other ways - and I think it’s safe to say the sort of teacher who gets in shouting matches with kids would also be first in line to carry. How long after we start arming teachers until one threatens a…

Current professor of Rhet/Comp here.  This subject is very close to my heart, so this is going to be a long (even for me) post.  Feel free to look past it.

Arming me—or any other member of the faculty at my institution (or, I suspect, at any other)—as a means to prevent or at least lessen the impact of an active…

Who ungreyed you wtf?

If anyone tries to disagree with Trump, she hisses, unhinges her jaw, and threatens to eat them.

As usual, I’m amazed at Trump’s ability to make me cringe with second-hand embarrassment on new and exciting levels every day. It was embarrassing enough when he retweeted that picture. That was sad and thirsty and pathetic enough. But now he’s printed the fucking thing out and draped it over a conference table during…

IMO we’ve arrived at the stage in which the internet has made it practically impossible to do any form of meaningful message control, so political parties are slowly shedding the appearance of giving a fuck about what the voting public thinks (note - they never gave a fuck tbh, but they’ve realized that they can no…

The thing is, instituting paygo actually does make sense — provided you realize Dems don’t actually want to do any of the big things they talk about.

Getting ungreyed seems like an annoying task these days.

“We just simply need to win this one. Then we can worry about repairing the party as a whole”

THERE ARE A ZILLION DEGREES OF NUANCE BETWEEN “PERFECT” AND “ABSOLUTE SATAN”.
