“If middle America floods, any survivors will be ‘coastal.’ Are you going on record as saying they won’t also be elite?”

What gets me is that these tired arguments never get called out for holding one group responsible for what another group chooses to resent and how they express that resentment. It’s abuser logic: “Look what you made them do! If you didn’t tell them I thing you saw them do was racist, you wouldn’t have set them off…

“He’s still a criminal, but now he’s getting away with it”

They’re doing what they always were going to do, and have always done: claim a win and then make as much noise as possible repeating the same thing. The fact that Democratic leadership was caught flatfooted in terms of counter-messaging is the real thing they’re crowing about

Don’t lose hope! Conservatives won’t wake up and realize they’re driving the bus into a wall, but their hands can be pried from the wheel. I believe that realizing that bridging the gap is a lost cause and putting efforts into boosting turnout.

They aren’t bluffing or naive, they’re willing to suffer and possibly die from preventable illnesses just to see the “other side” “lose.” I’d love to believe that American conservatives have the capacity to snap out of it and rejoin reality, but they have not shown that capacity for many years. At a certain point, the…

She should, but she lays out a financial and personal situation that makes it unlikely she wins against a massive media conglomerate

I think this logic is faulty, for the same reason the logic that Hilary should have beat Trump was faulty. Bernie (or anyone in the field really) has his own issues, but the belief that the same people Biden is counting on are going to vote the same way they poll has already done enough damage

“No crazy. You’re the crazy”

Power corrupts. That’s something that needs to and can be accounted for, but if it was a good enough reason not to create power structures in the first place we’d still be living in caves

You’re right, but at the end of the day the people believing this shit are making that choice for themselves. I sympathize with feeling negative about the healthcare system, but endangering your children and other people to meet a personal or political need means you forfeit the benefit of the doubt

“Why would I go to a zoo to see a bear when I could just wander around the woods and see if I can find one? I know a guy who saw a bear in the woods once, and he turned out fine. Big Zookeeper is just messing with your head”

I would much rather vote for the dude dropping foreskin hot takes left and right than any guy who interacts with Ben Shapiro voluntarily

She’s the wrong kind of liar for an entertaining read though, I’m imagining Mary Sue fanfic-quality prose about how normal and competent her boss was while she was so busy respecting herself all the time.

The really fucking stupid part of all this: purposefully infecting your children just the most dangerous and uncomfortable way to accomplish exactly what vaccines are meant to.

Her credibility is completely shot among the literate, do they give out multi-million dollar deals for picture books?

He was obviously trying to say: “Good leaders manipulate people’s worst impulses and exploit whatever vulnerabilities they can find to achieve their personal goals no matter the human cost or actual merit of the goals themselves.”

Her husband hates the guy, no one respects the work she does and she’s been repeatedly outed as the source of countless “Unnamed White House Officials” articles. It’s one thing to debase yourself out of ambition, but where the hell is the next rung up in this situation?

Dude on the right in the header image looks like if Chris Evans’ brother dealt weed

Tiffany Nicole deserves all the bullshit she’s about to eat for that horrible message. It’s Miss Piggy, for fuck’s sake. It’s like people have no decency any more
