It’s neat, this is probably the law that’s gonna get LGBT equality and civil rights coded into American constitutional law. And we don’t even have to ratify an amendment.

Applause, Rich. This is beautiful, and perfect.

While I have no doubt that this was 100% motivated by the boycott and not any slowly-dying bits of “good” in his heart, it’s interesting to note that Georgia’s governors are term-limited to two terms and he’s in his second.

me on the world today: -__-

High fives then!

LOL, he’s just my fav little ‘noping the fuck outta here’ octopus, but that’s not a bad interpretation!

I can’t tell if I’m mis-reading your comment or if you totally missed my sarcastic exasperation there.

I know you so desperately want this to be true, but it’s not, it’s complete bullshit. I was going to give a huge response here (including how DADT and DOMA were stop-gap measures to prevent witchhunting LGBT military members and a constitutional amendment preventing gay marriage, and how the Welfare bill was awful but…

Oh I’m so excited to get to live in an era in which all scientific fact is cast as the biased word of “corporations.”

Sorry, just to make sure my previous reply (and your understanding of superdelegates) is clear: superdelegates tend to break down reflective of the OVERALL popular vote from the U.S. primaries, not on a state-by-state basis. SO, in 2008, Obama ended with 1767 pledged delegates, Clinton had 1640, and the…

First of all, the superdelegates don’t decide their support until they’re on the convention floor - they are not committed until they commit to a candidate at the convention. They can express support for whoever they want, but that’s not the same thing as being pledged.

Those are all relatively easy things to do in a small, homogenous city and elected position with no term limits, in a small and homogenous very liberal state. They are not even remotely easy to do in a larger, diverse city, much less state, much less country. This is, actually, part of why Bernie is losing in the…

Have you actually looked at any of Hillary’s platforms? You know, like the tax proposals she released that raises taxes on the wealthy and capital gains, so much so that 80 percent of the money raised would come from the top 1 percent? Or her foreign policy platform that unequivocally states that no troops will be…

But that’s because REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN IN CONTROL. Just as Bill (as a moderate!) did, the Obama administration has made significant moves to the left in some areas (health care!) but has been blocked by Republicans. These people are literally looking at their allies, the people who WANT to enact their agenda, and…

Midterms is an entirely different beast and actually just reinforces my point. We won such sweeping victories because the population was reacting to a series of disasters: the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina, the beginning of the recession and the housing bubble collapse. These were rightly viewed as the directly caused…

The thing is, “everything going on” in 2016 is nearly the opposite of 2008. We are not in economic collapse right now, we’re in recovery. Jobs have been growing, steadily, for years now. Our economy could be better and there are things to fix but it’s on a path of steady improvement.

Right, it’s so important to remember that PACs and Super PACs are not all the same. The women’s rights Super PACs - like the ones by PP and NARAL, among others — are currently, literally, on the front lines of the fight to preserve our human rights. The ones we hate, the ones given life by Citizens United, are almost…

You do realize that Bill Clinton was one president who served two terms in the 1990s, correct? And that halfway through his first term Republicans took over the Congress? And literally never let it go since except for the first two years of Obama’s term? And that in the last 50 years there have been a total of four…

But Sanders doesn’t raise money for downticket races, so. Sigh.

The dismiss button has maybe become my savior this election season. I mean gotdamn.
