Unlike Trump, Biden seems to be able to read a room, and actually seems to be listening to what the people who voted for him want. I’m sure he’ll go on to make some boneheaded moves down the road, but so far, he seems to be hitting all the right notes. He seems to recognize the importance of the progressive voices in…

Magoo is from the 50's. Of course he’s racist.

The linked handcuffs absolutely make it.

This.  Red state voters lined up in droves to keep people like McConnell and Loeffler and their ilk in office, all the while suffering financially and medically for it while the pandemic rages on.  All they had was fear, racism, and the grim specter of SOCIALISM to rally people to the ballot boxes.  There were no real…

I’m confused why everyone thinks we SHOULDN’T prioritize schools and teachers? We should be shutting down restaurants and bars and ensuring schools stay open. It’s been documented that kids are falling behind, and this is affecting poorer and minority students without access to resources more than other kids.

Yeah.  People have a lot of trouble understanding any chain of events with more than one or two steps, which makes them easier to manipulate.

It’s not though. It’s about messaging in a way that appeals to a broad audience (yes, including white people who also vote) using a slogan that doesn’t need 3 paragraphs to explain the sentiment, and one in which even the people who support it can’t agree with what it means (is it total abolition of police? Taking…

Pelosi was bitter, and mad and standing on principle, and I can tell you this as someone who has gone hungry on many nights as a teen: a honeybun on the table now beats the promise of a steak tomorrow.

some contested ballots, ballot observers allowed to stand closer to those tabulating votes—none will have a big enough impact to change the results of the state, where Biden is currently leading Trump by more than 46,000 points.

“The only major electoral difference between Pennsylvania and Alabama is that the biggest cities in PA are large enough to possibly (hopefully) nullify the rest of the state.”

It’s not the “fuck white men” party (source: I’m a white man who votes Democrat most of the time), it’s the “let’s not fuck over everyone who ISN’T a white man” party. I know you think that’s a distinction without a difference, but it really isn’t.

This is straw man horseshit.

I would say that the board that certified Dr. Paul should take away his license, but then I remembered that Rand Paul certified himself with a bogus licensing board he made up himself.

Goddamit somone really needed to nail his ass to the wall...this soft soaping is getting monotonous and all he does is parrot. Get up front of the horseshit and tell him the answers he’s been shitting out ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Congress is not in a standoff and Republicans and Democrats are not playing a game of chicken. This both sides-ism needs to stop. Republicans are holding the lives of desperate and in need Americans hostage because they don’t fucking care who suffers and who dies as a result of their inaction, especially if it will…

It would be really nice if outlets did not try to “both sides” this one. Republicans deliberately tabled this bill in bad faith knowing Dems could never accept it. Mitch McConnell admitted this himself. Dems wanted 1.3 trillion, GOP countered with 300 billion. That is not a compromise, that is an insult. Also the bill…

I think the implication is that if it had gotten out in February/March or even April it might have gotten people to start taking COVID more seriously sooner and not that it would have affected Trump’s political fortunes. A lot of damage was likely done by the government’s insistence that COVID was a short term problem…

It wasn’t illegal at the time, it was made illegal BECAUSE of Breonna.

Sorry. Black Southern Democrats decided to saddle us with Joe Biden - you can get him over the finish line. Once SC goes for the Democrats, I’ll shut up.
