Yeah, homogeneity always sucks, but it’s even worse when you hitch your wagon to the wrong horse. The Bernie/AOC wing died as a credible political force in 2020. Today mainstream Democrats don’t even waste their time bashing Medicare For All because nobody takes it seriously anymore, nor should they.  The Green New…

Lack of variety of opinion is what doomed GMG. There was no business rationale to homogenize opinion to such a ridiculous degree.

Tomato’s concept was a right-leaning vertical that would stand alongside the left-leaning ones. They would both share Kinja, so heated arguments would be routine in the comment sections. Readers would log in just to argue. It might’ve worked. Or not. Regardless, it’s indisputable that going all-in with the Bernie bros…

In 2019 TomatoFace offered to manage his own vertical for an equity stake. Zero salary and zero benefits. Just equity. So Tomato would have every incentive to make the project succeed and Spanfeller wouldn’t need to worry about labor unrest or negotiating employee contracts or any such headaches.

What good is it to win a war if you become the very evil that you fought?  That is the question.

Oh come on. Zalensky’s star power is undeniable. I don’t understand why Jez would complain about the attention he’s getting. Prince Harry and Duchess Meg got saturation coverage for months on end and they’re tedious dullards who have a fraction of Zalensky’s charisma.

I’m with Mayor Adams.

I’m not Russian. I’m cheering for a Ukrainian victory. But I worry Ukrainians might lose their national character if they resort to the sort of skulduggery that Russia used to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton.

Ukraine has the moral high ground because they’ve been invaded.

You don’t win a war by “turning the other cheek.”

Moral high ground is what’s keeping military aid flowing into Ukraine as we speak. Those are the tangible benefits of fighting a clean war.

DDOSing and other forms of hacking and cyberterrorism are illegal precisely because they’re immoral. When Russian hackers and trolls stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton everybody agreed it was an immoral act. I just think the Ukrainians should aspire to be better than that. I want them to be heroes in my…

Can’t you see that Ukraine’s most precious asset is possession of the moral high ground? Giving it away would be the worst possible move.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Grace, please. You know Aaron Donald was the real MVP.

Cooper Kupp MVP? Aaron Donald was robbed.

Aren’t you retiring this year? If you want another adventure why not offer to write for G/O in exchange for an equity stake? Ask for your own vertical. TomatoFace made that same offer back in 2019 but management didn’t respond. Let’s get some real business journalism here. There are a few good writers on Kinja you…

Sammy Sosa gets no respect from HOF voters because he fell apart as soon as steroid testing started. Ortiz was different. He maintained an HOF level of play into the post-steroid era. Definitely gives his career more legitimacy than Sosa’s.

David Ortiz just got into the HOF. Edgar paved the way. Fat dudes who can’t play defense are finally getting the respect they deserve.

Yeah it’s pretty awesome being the boss of the Deadspin and Onion comment sections.
