That’s what the left in Britain said about Brexit... In reality all you get is a really fucking bad position for you and your family to be in.

They all want to be Robespierre, forgetting what happened to Robespierre.

Funny how almost all of the people spouting that particular brand of idiocy are white, straight men. I’m sure it’s just a weird coincidence, though.

If you think Trump as president, a Republican House and Senate will be best for you and the people you care about, then I respect your decision not to vote or to vote for Trump. But don’t argue the reality that not voting at all is not so very helpful to Trump because the math won’t back you up. When the Democrats…

I want a wonk for Prez. I think they’re the best at it.

Ok, I don’t where to put this... I am having major “feels” about this!

Fascinating.

EXACTLY THIS! Jesus people, let’s think about who facilitated these leaks - a crazy authoritarian who has every reason to want America to elect a similarly minded leader. I think the DNC emails are dumb as hell and DWS was right to step down, but if anyone is honestly going to vote for Trump after this they’re an…

I’m an economist and I fully agree. I did teach about bond prices in my economics 101 class but I’m not sure I would say that’s a basic economic principle everyone needs to know. Why is bond pricing more important than understanding what happens to labor and capital with trade? Why is bond pricing more important than…

I call bullshit. Understanding bonds and investment principles has zero to do with the every day business of making ends meet for 99% of people. And that business about minorities paying more to borrow money? It’s not because they’re dumb/uneducated about how borrowing works, it’s because our financial system actively…

I think a two-woman ticket would alienate a lot of American voters, unfortunately, and Clinton’s team knows that. It sucks but it’s true - look at the rampant sexism lobbied Clinton’s way already.

It’s also often false. I’m a white liberal, and guess what; I live in a neighborhood with huge amounts of recent immigrants, where I am distinctly a minority. I also know multiple other white liberals where this is true.

The commercial for this show is also completely unwatchable. “I think...blah blah blah, I think....blah blah blah.” Who is this boring old white man and why should I care about his opinion on anything? I anticipated the show is just him shaking his walking cane and shouting angrily. From Bobby’s review, it sounds like…

Because I write for Jezebel and don’t know what sports are.

This is one of my least favorite conservative arguments — that liberals are disingenuous in their racial progressiveness, with the implication being that conservatives shouldn’t have to feel guilty for their prejudices because liberals are really prejudiced too. “It’s okay that we’re racist because we’re honest about…

Every single one of my Chinese in-laws does not know how to cook rice in anything but a rice cooker. Just to falsify your rather generic statement

“Union costs” aren’t red tape. They are negotiated, mutually agreed upon contracts just like car companies have with any other supplier.

Have you ever thought that maybe you’re unemployable because you’re a fucking asshole?

Why hasn’t that happened in Salt Lake City?
