Oh come on. Berniebros voting for Stein didn't lose you the rust belt and you fucking well know it.

I guess the counterargument there is that maybe Labor should have just gone all-in on the ETS rather than trying a watered down version, given that the Coalition was going tear it down as soon as they got back into government anyway. There's no appeasing the modern right. They'll never meet you halfway, particularly…

Those constituencies didn't vote for Hillary Clinton either, my dude. You can blame Sanders and his supporters (some of whom are certainly dickheads who voted for Stein, but hardly enough to come within a million miles of affecting the outcome of the election) for the fact that you got beaten by Donald Trump if you…

What just happened

It's okay to like a movie even if you radically disagree with its politics, you know.

Aside from anything else, the third way, Clinton-alligned types pride themselves on being clear-headed pragmatists, but what's pragmatic about closing ranks and digging in on your own ideology when it has clearly alienated a lot of people? I won't deny that racism and bigotry were a factor in Trump's success, but if…

Careful, that sounds like Russian spy talk to me!

Oh, I just thought it was the thing the person I was responding to was most likely to have seen. I've seen him in more recent stuff and he definitely still sucks.

Okay, but the irony here is that the people going off at the Left for "demanding ideological purity" just lost a fucking election. A big one. To Donald Trump.

I have a lot of problems with Clinton; Obama too. But God damn it they actually behaved like fully functional people.

Yeah, Treadaway would be a pretty uninspiring choice but I'd give him a shot at least.

"Companions killed due to cruel fate" is one of Twelve's defining features, sadly.

This was addressed in-show. In fact, Matt Smith's Doctor was the final regeneration of that cycle (because of War Bastard and Tennant wasting one out of vanity) but the Time Lords gave him a heap of new ones for being a good boy. Now he can go on changing indefinitely until a future showrunner decides to make a thing…

Have you seen Love Actually? He's the gurning ginger dickhead who goes to America to get laid. If you haven't seen it, hopefully 'gurning ginger dickhead' gives you a sense of what's so awful about him.

Which, surely, means being able to criticise Macron despite his having cleared the low bar of being better than Le Pen.

Good advice for whatever ails you, imo.

A lot of problems people think they have with Kelsey Grammer are really more to do with Kelsey Syntax.

Yeah, there's kind of a bubble at play here filled with critics and ultrafans who are extrapolating their own experience outward. The vast majority of people I know watch the big shows (GoT, Westworld, BB etc) but don't really invest any time in them outside the actual viewing experience. None of this is a value…

Is he? I didn't pick up on that. That's…weird but I'll take it.

I hate Julian Fellowes most of all, the toffy fuck.
