I also had this fear initially. After Trump won, I was a firm “experience only” candidate no more celebs kthxbye. However, Nixon really has taken this campaign seriously and espouses a lot of my own convictions. She even had Zephyr Teachout on her team so it truly made me think, if Nixon were to win, she would…

She was fairly firm on her “no” and didn’t say anything else - but that question came during the lightning round, and she couldn’t elaborate.

gambling can be seen as another form of poor-person tax. Like sanctioned gambling of the State Lottery systems. 

I had that fear initially, but she has shown herself to be remarkably adroit at discussing policy issues and understanding the nuances of them and she has a lot of people on her team that do have the deeper Albany experience she lacks. At the very least, she seems smart, competent and willing to learn. My worst case…

Cuomo is clearly smoother and more practiced at these type of events, but his continual insistence that Nixon was a “corporation” and she was somehow in line with the Koch brothers was bizarre. As was he suggestion that Nixon was corruptly calling in political favors to get helicopters to stop flying over Central Park…

Did the IDC come up? I imagine it’s too complicated in a debate format to outline how Cuomo was responsible for that group too.

I saw the last 45 minutes of the debate, but the thing that stood out for me besides Cuomo insistence that Nixon was using her status as “corporation” to skirt taxes was his consistent insistence that she doesn’t understand how government works. God I wanted to punch him for that “you just can’t snap your fingers and…

I just realized that my targeted ads on Instagram are for mostly household gadgets LOL, like the vacuum attachment that has tiny tube suctions.  And I follow a bunch of witches and magic pages, so... maybe there just aren’t enough witch industry related products yet? Not sure.

This.

I guarantee you would fold like a sheet of origami paper in his situation. I suggest you pick and choose your criticisms because if this is the hill you choose to die on, it’s going to be a very bloody death. Your take is stupid and wrong.

Following orders in the face of torture and threat of death is, in fact, heroic. That doesn’t say anything about his politics (which were real bad!), but if heroism means anything it’s willingly suffering for a cause.

Thank you! I don’t even like Cortez much but I totally agree that the “well, actually...” followed by demonizing him when the body is barely cold is in bad taste. I know people have trouble hearing all of McCain’s good qualities lauded, but he was a mixed bag on both a personal and professional level. The fact that…

Jesus Fucking Christ. All these people on the left falling all over each other in the name of purity can go fuck themselves. I’m so beyond sick of this. 

Yay, I found a sane person!

I’m honestly as tired as the “John McCain was a terrible terrible person who no one should say nice things about” pieces as the “John McCain was last of a rare and noble breed of American statesmen” pieces. Dude died just yesterday, and in my universe, it’s still poor manners to interrupt other people’s mourning with…

Couldn’t have said it better.

THE RIGHT: These Leftists are rising in popularity. We must tear them down!

“It should be noted that Bernie Sanders’s tribute is near-identical to Ocasio-Cortez’s.” 

Are people not allowed to be civil and even kind to whom they disagree with anymore?

Yeah, fuck everyone shitting on her. Being decent isn’t the same thing as being “weak” or “complicit” when someone dies.
