If you think rules can be unfair, you should have used that rhetoric in your initial post. I think any rhetoric is on the table, when you need to get these Sanders supporters in line which—incidentally—means you need them to vote for your party while you simultaneously consider them outsiders to your party. That seems…

The Democratic party has many more centrists than liberals, even by America’s skewed perception of politics. These centrists own the party, they will remind you very often that they own the party, they will tell you that “if you don’t like our rules, then start your own party” to any attempt to democratize the…

If the Democratic party was concerned about liberalism, they’d have rules that promote small-d democratic values.

Plausibly-deniable dog whistles. Clinton even says she regrets using the phrase, knowing what it means. Trump can do the same thing, with half of the barely-coded language he uses. I’m voting for Clinton, but I don’t need to defend every past action of hers. The “super-predators” comment was, by Clinton’s own…

So liberals called themselves Democrats, to have a shot at winning an election. Democrats called themselves “progressive” under the same auspices—to court more than just centrists, in an attempt to win an election.

Wait until Trump finds out that Hercules is wearing a girdle.

And she researches Gunpowder and Rifling in half the usual time, but it takes her twice as long to get Writing.

I think that’s the idea: People sold on the idea of conservative isolationism believe that economics are a zero sum game. This belief actually spits in the face of capital itself. It ignores how technology and financial capital generate more resources, overall, which are then traded for those we don’t have. For these…

Russia is only five hexes away from her Capital.

Republicans are hopping on board with this Brexit issue for one reason: It’s got two sides. Two easy-to-digest, yes-or-no sides. Those sides aren’t perfectly divided on left/right or on conservative/liberal or on Britons’ stances regarding any other issue. But you can rest assured that the Republicans will ride the…

Yeah. I’m noticing this. It’s a real thing right now.

Oh yeah. The closer the race, the more the candidates will have to pay Time Warner to keep the political ads flowing.

I love the top comment: “I know this is capitalist #progress claptrap but goddammit, even my cold commie heart grew ten sizes that day.”

When feminism started making a quick buck, corporations and Twitter personalities and politicians started joining our cause like wildfire! Huzzah! I wonder how long they’ll be sticking around...

They are always one drop in LYRICA® sales away from hiring Jerry Springer. They are only “reasonable centrists” because that image makes the most money and they work to foster that image; any news that results is completely incidental.

Sometimes, I worry the media is just in it for the money.

It’s the first time the Republicans have done anything that could even remotely be considered “work” for their $200,000+ salaries; they have every right to pat themselves on the back for it. The physical labor involved in self-congratulatory back-rubbing is the only exercise they’ll get all month. And otherwise, they…

It seems like someone went actively looking for this particular connection. I find it odd that so many of her followers are egging her on, claiming that it is a conspiracy against her, when it seems very coincidental. This seems like a legitimately harmful stance to take with a person who already feels persecuted, as…

Even if you expect large gaming companies to remember this event that affected your friend a few years ago, why should they be compelled to remove content which only she finds offensive? This is not really in the interest of liberalism, the public good, or anything—except this one person.

I’m sorry for what happened. But the “decent thing to do” isn’t Nintendo apologizing for people who twist a reference to the Nixon administration into a joke that a Twitter person dislikes.
