Shhhhh...

You seem to have more faith in our voters than they deserve. I don’t think the people who vote straight GOP will care as long as they get to vote against “libtards”

You know as well as I do that isn’t true. Several of these “people” represent districts that have actively voted against their own interests for years. This won’t change a god damned thing.

The shear audacity of this, and to celebrate after, is fucking disgusting.

I don’t know, I feel like we keep saying that about various Republicans and it keeps not being true.

A lot of this kind of “Clinton lost because she sucks” analysis seems to be missing that candidates exactly like Trump are popping up in a lot of Western countries (Philippines, France, England) and *winning.* Yes, Clinton may be uniquely awful and somehow The Worst Campaign Runner Ever, and yet many candidates that…

The confidence of lying is such a prominent thing with conservative men, and many conservatives in general. Ben Shapiro, conservative whatever the hell he is, is a great example, he’s someone libertarians really love, but 90% of what he is either a complete lie or a something he twisted with rhetoric to make it seem…

So I think a) you need a clear, defined message, and a simple one. And b) you need someone who—and I hate to say this—but you need someone that doesn’t have as much history and baggage that they cart with them onto the campaign trail.

I’m a TV Writer and WGA member. I’m given to understand that a lot of the other sectors WERE formerly this way, but conservatives (and neo-liberals) have been hacking away at unions for decades. One of the reasons the WGA has the best healthcare in the country (aside from congress) is that we have an old-school,…

This was one of the most brilliant things about the ACA. Not perfect, and still market-based, but it put forth the idea that any subsequent plan or revision of the plan would have to include pre-existing conditions. This was literally the biggest change from our completely wild, wild west system, before.

You can live a healthy life and still get cancer. Or MS or ALS, or several other diseases. Or, you know, get in a car accident.

I really liked this one, too:

Someone had a good post about racial fluidity (many people don’t fit into​ a single census box), and made an effective argument about why racial fluidity is different from this uncomfortable transracialism that Dolezal has invented.

The prevailing opinions among the low-information voters I know who supported Dolt 45? “Stick it to the libruls!!1!” Seriously. They voted for the Jackass-in-Chief just to piss other people off.

Obama: A father watching the inauguration on tv turns to his young child and says, “See? Anyone can be elected President.”

About a month from now, it will have been two years since he entered the race, and it feels like it’s been a lifetime of putting up with his bullshit. I still cannot stomach him. I avoid listening or watching him, because the combination of smug condescension with the absolute and demonstrable wrongness of the vast…

The mind boggling part to me is that when his platform and policies come to pass they will hurt his voters. Those people are going to go homeless (or move to apartments), they will lose their jobs, their healthcare, and their ability to gain upward mobility. But they won’t blame Trump and Co! It’s going to magically…

The guy had a point about rap lyrics. Some of those songs are pretty offensive. I heard on the other day where some dude was rapping about how he was so cool that he could just walk up to any woman and grab her by the pussy. That was a really fucked up rap song. Oh, wait. Nope. That was the President of The United…
