Uh... you know that diverse groups have diverse opinions and people get to voice them. Progressive people tend to get this. It’s not “infighting” or “eating your own” or whatever else detractors want to call it. Our diverse movement can support and respect multiple opinions at the same time - even ones individuals

I wouldn’t go so far as to say moral exemplars - people are flawed and make bad decisions, and the pain and personal growth that comes out of that can lead to the creation of excellent art. Still, there are two factors that make people like Bill Cosby and Woody Allen (to me) impossible to enjoy. 1) The complete lack

I lived in the area of NJ that Scott Garrett used to pilfer. It’s beautiful, but other than fresh food and nice views, nothing is there. Garrett has been a boil on that area of the State, and it looks like he will have to go back to cronyism in Vernon I suppose.

He has little care for his district, nor anyone but

I am from this ass backwards district in NJ. Before Garrett it was represented by Marge Roukema, a moderate pro choice Republican who pretty much got run out of any Repub leadership position because of her moderate beliefs. Then she was replaced by this psychopath. He lives in pretty much a compound in the the most

Anna, this is my district. Garrett has been a PoS for a long time and we have been itching to boot him. Also, it is The Bergen Record, not the New Jersey Record.

Jill Stein is an unqualified, paranoid citizen who spouts dangerous nonsense.

RIP The Boat Club, too.

See, I don’t see it as cheap laughs. I believe Sam Bee and her writers are genuinely concerned and flabbergasted by this. That’s the tone I’m getting from Full Frontal right now: that they don’t understand what the fuck is going on and they’re laughing so they won’t cry. Sam Bee’s pretty good at that tone. I, and I’m

My ex is a one of those idiot delegates from CA, I have never been more ashamed by a choice it's the political equivalent of always wearing a fedora

There’s a fix for the GOP congress. Vote blue on the downvote ticket and in two years, do it again.

I guess the problem for people like me, an inveterate Hill hater turned supporter, is that, while I didn’t support Bernie and I view his platform with deep skepticism, no one would’ve had to convince me of anything were he to have gotten the nom. I’d pull the lever for him with gusto and without a single coddle.

If you are part of an overly loud minority whose sole purpose is to behave like entitled ridiculous asshats then you deserve to be made fun of.

There were plans for a fucking “fart in”. I’m not sure how we weren’t supposed to make fun of them.

This is actually a serious issue. The Dems have gone pretty damn far left in an attempt to pulling Bernie supporters (which has largely worked, between 73 and 90% support Hillary now depending on what polls you look at). But what a lot of the diehard ultra left seem to not realize is the message the Dems would have

I think the reason they cherry pick the assholes is because there were enough of them showing up at the DNC acting disrespectfully and disrupting speakers. And it may have just been these few loud cherry picked assholes - but they were disrespectful enough that they deserve to be called out. Also that is Samantha

That may be a reason but anyone who has ever lost someone to cancer takes any asshole faking cancer for sympathy, money, a reality TV storyline, etc., to heart. It’s pretty unforgivable and no one will ever believe that Vicki didn’t know nor even cares about what it all means in the grand scheme of things because her
