If you think Bernie would have won the general election you are out of your goddamn mind.

Just to back this up because I keep repeating it: if we use Jill Stein’s 2012 vote totals as a baseline and compare them to 2016 and assume that EVERY new Stein voter would have voted for Hillary then Hillary STILL loses the election. The only state Hillary picks up is Michigan.

I can’t estimate the people who didn’t vote. But if it makes you feel better if you compare Stein’s vote totals from 2012 and 2016 and said that every new voter she got in 2016 voted for Hillary she still would have lost the election.

Because people are stupid. The typical response I get is this obnoxious Objectivist-type answer about how we should just hire the most qualified, experienced writers (which is inevitably code for white dudes). Kurt Metzger is, objectively, an experienced comedy writer. But he’s the dirt fucking worst.

So Trump can’t make them pay us directly, but if there is a tax put on imports from Mexico then they could use that to pay for the wall.

We would put at tax on imports that would be used to pay for the wall.

I get a weirdly aggressive response from people when I suggest there should be more POC hired for writing positions.

We’re lucky it wasn’t Jefferson Davis

Big whoop, the Catholic Church shaved a gorilla and raised it. Now the gorilla hosts a show on Fox News every night at 10 EST.

Here’s my super secret confession: I haven’t watched a second of Broad City yet.

Yeah, I just didn’t get it. I voted for her, and now more than ever I wish she’d won, but I wasn’t enthused.

My friend just turned me on to this app called Countable. It’s like Pandora, but for government. It lets you get in touch with your representatives to protest stuff. You should check it out. We need to be as engaged as possible.

I’m exhausted and didn’t articulate my point. It feels quaint to be arguing about Citizens United and the Koch Brothers and Soros when we’re so fucked.

President Obama got the stimulus through. Not to mention the damage that can be done by executive orders and other measures.

Don’t be ridiculous. I’m way more likely to get sent to a gulag in Alaska.

I was more baffled that they were that excited about Hillary Clinton.

I don’t know. If they’re still on in four years we might.

You’d think after Obama has so much trouble getting anything done that we’d all realize that the President doesn’t have unlimited power.

They could also hire writers who are POC.
