Parties are fundamentally undemocratic. They’re comprised of organizations and supporters who have committed time and money and energy to specific causes, sometimes over decades, and those vested interests play a part in who the party nominates. I think the dismissive attitude of the DNC toward Mr. Sanders was a…

I fucking love the dude, and the work he does is amazing. Voting is easy and he should do it.

Ween, push the daisies:

The NRA will continue to exist until the arms manufacturers they lobby for are put out of business. 

Naming your philosophical project “Objectivism” is such a boomer move. Maybe Ayn Rand was ahead of her time 😂

What the fuck?

You continue to loudly demonstrate your ignorance of their case even after a number of other posters have tried to explain what you’re missing. If you’re arguing in good faith you’re doing so poorly, and the ad hominem is uneccessary. Fix your shit.

This is fucking fantastic, Nick. I’m right there with you on the feelings of frustration and anger with our current political leadership - one side totally unhinged, racist and regressive, willing to cut off their own fingers to trigger the libs; the other side making high-minded calls for bipartisan cooperation to…

We want accountability! This mealy-mouthed bipartisanship ignores the fact that the opposition has abandoned playing nice, or even playing fair, to push aside our rights. We don’t have to stoop to their level, but we do have to HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. If they broke the law, we have to indict them. That means…

We were complacent. Neoliberalism had us convinced that free markets fueled democracy and democracy fueled free markets, so all we had to do was sit back and let’s the money and freedom roll in.

Sean Hannity is the distilled essence of Fox News. He should be given two knives and no fork at every restaurant he sets foot in, for the rest of his life.

Is there a “real” Ted Cruz under all the performative bullshit? I wonder if he sees the end like you do, and I wonder how he feels about it. 

Oregon resident checking in to co-sign vote by mail. It’s convenient, it can’t be hacked, and it’s accessible. It should be the national standard.

The best idea is always to be found at the precise midpoint (“the center”) between literally any two other ideas. In my Ted Talk, I will explore the

To some degree, arbitrage is a service to buyer and seller and the person conducting that service deserves to be paid for it. They help Adidas by creating demand and by absorbing some of the risk; they help buyers who are willing to pay more find a pair after the initial window has closed. They can also overheat…

My boss: “your expense report is incomplete”

The knowledge, wit and substance to be found in the comments is one thing that attracted me to Deadspin and the rest of the family in the first place, along with some wickedly sharp writers. I’ve been a less avid reader and commenter in the last couple of months as disingenuous, bad-faith arguments filled the…

This is predicated on the idea that those supporting voter ID laws are arguing in good faith from honest convictions. We know that’s not the case because the clowns email each other about how great the fucking voter suppression is going. Polite debate is useless against fascism.

I liked him as a race car driving lawyer for a porn star who was willing to tell Cheeto Benito to get fucked on national television, but president? Hard pass. 

Is there a single right-wing critique of the left that isn’t transparent projection? “The left are permanently triggered snowflakes too blinkered by their identity-based groupthink virtue-signaling politics of resentment to recognize they’ve been colonized by the interests of the wealthy elite- OMFG IS THAT A SNOWMAN…
