Had to laugh (in a good way) when the trailer opened with the cliche "Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation…" All it needed was the old record scratch/freeze frame.

Also, as unprogressive as it is, Sanders isn't talking about some rightward shift when it comes to Democrats and abortion, he's just explicitly talking about the Democratic party's long held stance on the matter. I mean, the party that had Tim Kaine as it's VP nomination can't claim much ideological purity on the…

Do I hate myself enough to read the comments?

"If only there was some way I could communicate my belief that queer people are ridiculous and worthy of mockery while still being woke…"
*Sees Post article*
"Brilliant!"

Is it really a good idea to publicize straight up paranoid delusions and mentally ill people for laffs?

Subtle but effective name-comment synergy

Fuck it, I'll go to bat for the Director's Cut. The differences between it and the Final Cut are minor to cosmetic, but I give it an edge over the more recent cut because
A) Scott hadn't gone​ back in and added that blue tint to everything yet
B) Less of an emphasis on the dumb "Deckard is a replicant" implication
C)…

It's more of a critique of all authoritarianism, couched in left wing terms since post WWII it looked like the right wing, explicitly fascist variety was dead and buried.
I mean, Orwell himself was a socialist, though of the staunchly anti Soviet type.

I don't like ZMF's new schtick

Because the Democratic party sucks ass as a political organization and needs to start looking beyond their own self interest if they want to start winning elections? As far as voters' perceptions I'd say Sanders' not being a member of the Democrats is only a point in his favor.

Most of those "Trump voters in Real America Heartland" were the same people that voted for Romney. The idea behind Bernie Would Have Won isn't that he would have swayed large numbers of Trump supporters, but that he would have had a higher voter turnout, particularly in rust belt states. The same ones that voted for a…

There's a difference between everyone being able to vote if they want to (which I'm 100% for) and everyone voting just for the sake of voting (which I could care less about).

There's a fan edit of the entire Laura Palmer plot from the series into a single movie called "Northwest Passage". Not quite what you were talking about but in the same vein .

As someone who's currently in college, there's nothing about getting a degree in something that keeps you from being a dumbass in every other part of life.

Looks like someone's been reading Breunig

That acts like voting is this secular sacrament though, instead of a tool to achieve a desired political goal.

I wish I could upvote this more than once. There's been way to much hand wringing about how to win over Trump voters (a lot of it focusing on the poor and working class and ignoring that the bulk of Trump's supporters came from middle class suburban types), when it's the vast portion of people who didn't vote that the…

When did Clinton ever make that part of her platform though? As far as I could tell the main plank of her campaign was "Trump sucks, but I'm not Trump!," Which was true, and why I voted for her, but it's not the most inspiring rallying cry for someone who's on the fence about voting altogether.

Those damn Stein voters… all six of them
