I actually found a D&G shirt at a designer thrift store (I know, I know) when I was in college. It was like $10 because it had some weird manufacturing defect that wasn’t actually all that noticeable. What was noticeable was the hole that happened after one wear and a hand wash. Could have been a knock-off. Who knows.…

I could care less what Melania wears, but as a former “luxury” clothing salesperson, I can say without a doubt that D&G is only popular because of marketing, and definitely not because of quality. Not only did we get way more D&G returns than any other brand, but a lot of their stuff visibly looked shitty. It was…

I fully agree that Trump’s a disaster like we’ve never seen in living memory, but imagine someone with enough political experience and decorum, who actually listens to lawyers to make their legislation defensible taking up his causes. That possibility doesn’t scare you a little?

I’m really confused by all the triumphant responses to this.

So as irrational as this may seem, I’m actually starting to worry that Trump won’t make it a full year. He is a complete and utter clown, but I’m much more afraid of Pence. Pence probably believes in at least half of the unhinged shit that Trump tweets, but has enough sense/lack of dementia to not actually say it so…

Clintonistas don’t like facts.

It’s in many ways the mirror of the Labour Party in the U.K. In 2015 they ran a blaritie centrist and got absolutely crushed. In 2017 they run an unapologetic liberal and come within a stones throw of winning the whole thing. Young vote was driven up 20%+ in some places to vote for Jeremy Corbyn.

I love your columns. In order for the Democrats to have a chance in hell of rebounding is to number one assertively implement the 50 state strategy, leaving no stone unturned. Number two, simplify the message down to the two main issues affecting the country going forward, which would be as you have said many times…

It’s funny how pretty much all of the people who get really really mad at “Bernie would have won” are hardcore Hillary fans, while even rabid Trumpsters can ignore it or even agree that, yeah, he probably would have won.

And yet, the opposite is true.

Bernie voters supported Clinton in higher numbers than Clinton voters supported Obama.

It’s actually the opposite. Politicians and the media think the public is more conservative than it actually is, and part of that problem actually comes from labels. People who support left-wing policies but call themselves Republican, because they have a family history of being Republican.

This really can’t be said enough. Progressive policies win across the board when you ask about them without labels attached. But as soon as the politics gets thrown in...

I think that article overstates the problem. Obama won those voters because he was an inspiring candidate and seemed like he truly cared about making people’s lives better. Obama then governed as a moderate centrist and lost a lot of credibility, which hurt the Dems. Hillary lost those voters because she was a bad…

Hm, good point, I do love riling them up sometimes.

Our system will always go to two parties, and good luck overhauling ANYTHING that needs a constitutional amendment. We will not see another meaningful amendment to the constitution in our lifetimes, unless there is some massive paradigm shift like ww3 or we discover aliens exist.

They need to be able to pay their bills and have reasonable hope that they can make progress in life.

For a lot of centrist or moderate dems in office or running for it, Trump and his ilk aren’t really that big of a problem. They represents a great source for potential fund raising, and a wonderful target to point blame and a rallying point to prop themselves up in comparisons. It is “their” Obama, and past that, who…

people do that shit for 50k a year, or much less.

The only difference between a mujahideen and an American evangelical is the symbol they march under.
