It just looks like a millionaire repeating myths she’s heard about the innate conservatism of the white working class, gawd love ‘em. It’ll be eaten up by all those people who sneer about the Left patronising poor people, then go on the National Review cruise and share anecdotes about how they read Hillbilly Elegy and…

Theory: Stephen and Carl hooked up after last season (probably just kissing) and Stephen is masking his betrayal of Lauren by being her very best Carl-hating friend while periodically lashing out at Carl because he is deeply hurt that he did not fall in love with him after their hookup.

There are 4 Democrats running for his seat, and therefore, a Democratic primary in the late Spring. It appears (from a quick 15 minute search of articles on the candidates) that the headwinds are with a young (37 y/o) paralegal named JD Scholten, who is getting the support (and sime residual campaign funds) from the…

Can’t be said enough.

Vote vote vote vote vote. Vote in every local election. Vote every time they crack the door to the polling place. Fucking VOTE.

I mean sure, but its not like Teachout had any political experience either. Sure she was a law professor, not an actress, but as someone who went to law school that doesn’t necessarily mean she knows the actual realpolitik of being a sitting governor. I’m pretty sure their thinking was that if a complete no one (at…

I’s be pretty thrilled to get a free Great Dane tho.

From what I’ve heard, she also seems to have had a long interest and participation in activism and political/issue based involvement. So, she’s probably about as qualified as anyone who wants to enter politics needs to be, and not coming from a politically involved family is a bonus, not a flaw imho.

Actually, I just read that Zephyr Teachout is Nixon’s campaign treasurer, which made me feel better about Nixon’s run if she’s already aligning herself with smart people like that.

I like Cynthia Nixon a lot. She’s poised and articulate, and radiates warmth and empathy. She’s damn good at her job, and I love that she seems to constantly want to stretch and challenge herself as an actor.

Seriously? They don’t have the votes, republicans won’t bring up the vote and they won’t compromise, there’s nothing they can do right now. There’s a lot of problems with the democratic party but the reality is that under this administration and without a majority there’s no way they can get anything done.

Also important to put a picture of Nancy Pelosi up front. ‘Cause she’s the problem. She’s too conservative, too controlling, too much of a San Francisco liberal, and doesn’t have enough control of her caucus. I can’t quite remember the last time a politician was put in the position of simultaneously being a…

Also... a Russian Agent

But a bunch of angry fake-leftists who don’t show up for Democrats should TOTALLY determine what Democrats should do! Especially when they’re in the minority with a chance at the House in a weird place in the Senate!

Your choices are “Cake of Death” but we are OUT OF CAKE. We only had three bets and we didn’t expect such a rush.

Well the last Green who ran for president was a medical doctor who wouldn’t even take a strong stance on anti-vaxxers, so I don’t have any more confidence in them.

There are only 2 parties.

On a moral stance, they should totally do everything they can to get DACA fixed.

This is exactly it. No one actually cares about Dreamers. No one actually cares about gun control. They’re both in-the-moment issues that people care about when they get covered, but then lose interest in immediately afterward. The list of other examples of these issues includes literally every issue in our current…

Oh hey look, a disingenuous headline that doesn’t acknowledge there’s plenty of disagreement within the Democratic party about how to handle negotiations (“With that in mind, some of the letter’s signatories said the more realistic goal is not forcing action on DACA, but preventing Republicans from using the omnibus…
