I say that the Democrats should do everything that they can to filibuster.

She’s an amoral idiot for thinking that way though. “Sure I voted for a race baiting demagogue and gave him power, but as long as I say “hope for the best” I can avoid responsibility for him doing the things he’s about to do”

Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas. Republicans may not all be active racists, bigots, and white nationalists, but they don’t see any of those as being disqualifications for being part of the republican coalition or for being part of this administration. In the reality of trumps 2017 there is not a lot of…

No, we assume you are 100% okay with misogyny, bigotry, racism and sharia Jesus because you overlook all of that and vote for a man who is all those things.

Well, considering the thesis of the article is that she is dumb, then I’d say you, on the whole, agree with thrust of the article.

Setting aside how I feel about the fiscal policies of the Republican party, I’m allowed to decide that holding her nose on the enabling and outright encouragement of bigotry, not to mention playing footsie with outright white supremacists, for the sake of promoting her preferred fiscal policies, suggests that her…

By the same argument, she is saying that everyone on the left is an egg-throwing psychopath.

From far away, the sound of idiocy can be misunderstood as hope

I think you maybe missed the point of her op-ed which was, succinctly, that she has chosen to embrace an ignorant, self-obsessed charlatan of a political figure because someone threw an egg at her once.

Yes, it’s true that candidates tend not to campaign where they know they won’t win, or where they’re virtually certain that they will win leaving the “swing” states as the main battleground areas. But all that means is that if the swing states become disaffected with one side or the other, they can throw the election…

billionaires don’t care about little things like GOP/DEM. That’s below their ken. They care only about super-concentration of wealth.

Where in God’s name is this ridiculous talking point coming from? It’s pure gibberish. And the EC exists solely to stop the public at large from electing a madman or someone manifestly incompetent. It obviously failed at the one thing it was put in place to do, so it’s an anachronism that has to die.

“The idea that Jeff Bezos is ordering WaPo reporters to tweet nice things about Sean Spicer’s press conference in exchange for favorable drone regulations is barely a step removed from a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.” My drones thing was mostly a hyperbolic joke.

I think you didn’t fully read my statement or more likely I did not make my intent clear. I do not mean all media is a corrupt tool of the oligarchy. There are valid media outlets out there. NPR for about another 15 minutes (Trump wants to privatize it, how better to make it yet another tool of corporations. NPR…

It’s a metric to count who had more votes, which in any sane democracy is how you count the winner. And yes, the votes were manipulated, by the Russians/Wikileaks and by Comey.

Let’s not forget the unconstitutional gerrymandering and voter ID laws. A fair and constitutional election would have likely resulted in a wider popular vote gap and swung the vote in a few states.

OK, thats the thing.

It was likely manipulated by Russia. And Comey’s rank, treasonous fuckery. And Trump lost by 3 million votes. It is morally completely illegitimate. Possibly legally as well.

Yup. Here’s another example. Remember all those protestors in Washington on Inauguration Day? They were freezing their butts off, being tear-gassed by police and so forth.

Bezos must have gotten some future concession. Perhaps a layer of airspace just for Amazon drones?

Remember folks, whether you’re a democrat or Republican, the large media is controlled by the same corporations and CEOs who all hang out at Davos together. There is no Right-wing or liberal media. Just a media that…
