Interesting perspective. Inaccurate, but interesting.

Which will never happen if we stop talking about it. The less negativity the better.

It was so organic though.

Until it doesn't.

The dems need to get their fucking house in order. Clinton's speechwriters have literally the most important task of their lives coming up.

More people liked Trump's speech than disliked it. Hillary Clinton is predicted to pick a milquetoast establishment VP, and her campaign seems incapable of projecting trustworthiness or gauging the public's frustration. New acts of violence in the west are being broadcasted every day.

The end-of-days foreign policy alarmism the GOP is always so spectacular at whipping up has convinced a lot of people I thought were smarter than this that every other issue the GOP's platform is objectively wrong on can just be put on the back burner for at least half a decade. Really shows you where people's…

It hasn't been funny for a while.

You have something in common with the religious right, then!

It's always healthy when a prospective head of state convinces the populace that the media is the real enemy.

90% of those game of thrones stabbing fall under the subcategory of "one-note villain getting stabbed in the back right as they have the upper hand on a protagonist".

No issue lacks grey areas, even if they don't outweigh the ultimate evil of the situation. And acknowledging them doesn't mean one is trying to deny that evil. But I get your point. You got it across better than the author did.

Or attributes it to something malicious on the part of the writers, which I just can't see.

The entire point is that it's people we know are human reduced to something that would look to someone just turning on the show for the first time like your standard prison riot that needs to be quelled for law and order's sake. The show is intentionally "dehumanizing" the prisoners, and it only works because we know…

Wow.

Does "we're more divided than we've ever been since the 60s because the middle class is on life support" make the article more palatable?
