This. So much more than blaming Stein or Johnson voters I blame the people who just sat on their asses and didn’t vote.

Johnson voters wouldn’t have voted for HRC and assuming every additional vote Stein received in 2016 over 2012 would have voted for HRC it still wouldn’t have changed the outcome. HRC wins Michigan but loses PA and WI.

Yeah, I actually really like the post-Gawker world. And while I think Peter Thiel is a gaping anus I think that Gawker and AJ were in the wrong with the Hulk Hogan thing.

The GOP has always wanted to punish the monkey, not the organ grinder in the illegal immigration scenario. How about punishing the employers that use undocumented workers as poverty pay labor? What if you said that every company that unknowingly hired an undocumented worker (either by not using EVerify or by using a…

The wall is a waste of money and an ecological disaster.

Donald Trump, a thin-skinned baby and the 45th President of the United States, is expected to sign a variety of horrifying executive orders that will restrict immigration from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya and temporarily prevent refugees from entering the United States.

Good for Constance Wu for standing up for what she believes in. And for being hilarious.

I have to be honest, I’m tired of the code words we use to get around saying we want judges who agree with us politically.

Didn’t Mook run her failed 2008 bid as well? Jesus Christ, when it comes to white privilege and failing upwards Mook is the Democratic Tucker Carlson.

Just as a counterpoint from someone who opposes Trump as much as you do, I find the Atlantic article vital. I have generally seen Trump’s administration as a clusterfuck of failure and calamity.

1) For me, it is. Sorry that it bothers you, I guess that’ll be my cross to bear.

It’s strange, I don’t lump autism in with Down Syndrome.

If you said “I’d rather be aborted than be gay” I think you’d feel differently.

Right, and as I say further down I wouldn’t have wanted my parents to carry that burden.

1) I know how I feel since I *wasn’t* born with Down Syndrome! I also know the financial and emotional burdens it would have placed on my parents. For me, personally, I don’t know what I’d do if my partner found out our child was going to have Down Syndrome or another debilitating condition. Ultimately, it would be…

I agree with you. I just don’t think Soros is different than the Koch Brothers. The issue is to get money out of politics.

Carson, who grew up in poverty, once said in a TV interview that “poverty is really more of a choice than anything else.”

Joe Manchin probably won’t. But he’s a dipshit.

Would not backing him have mattered?

You’re such a gibbering idiot that you should be Trump’s pick to run the Department of Education if the other gibbering idiot is rejected.
