The fact of the matter is the electoral college isn’t a democracy and was never meant to be one.

This situation is *exactly* the reason the Founders created the Electoral College in the first place. And honestly, if a candidate as manifestly unqualified as Trump doesn’t trigger the EC into action, then it basically has no reason to continue to exist ...

“Is about as undemocratic an electoral process as one could imagine.”...

Really? I think when somebody gets 2 million less votes than another person yet is still the winner is pretty undemocratic.

The fact of the matter is the electoral college isn’t a democracy and was never meant to be one. So I’m not sure what your…

Uhh, this just seems like saying “white people can’t be in movies with Chinese people”. The Chinese director who made this Chinese film wrote the role for a white actor.

I think Matt Damon talks out of his ass more often than not recently, but if the Chinese director, producer and actors in a Chinese production don’t have a problem with his casting, I say we leave it alone and not make an issue of it. I’m guessing that’s what Damon was trying to get at with this comments.

If the Chinese made the film and don’t care about the issue of a white savior, I have a hard time doing so.

I’m going to reserve judgement and trust the director at this point. Damon is (naturally) being heavily marketed to American audiences, but the Chinese director says he’s just one of 5 “heroes” and not the savior of China. I think the theatrical trailer is ok, kind of silly, but definitely quite full of non-white…

Movie is made with Chinese money for Chinese market by a Chinese director. Yet a white American feels sufficiently entitled to critique a movie she hasn’t watched.

So a Chinese director casts five leading characters, one of whom is white rather than Asian. The other four are Chinese.

Winter stars when it damn well pleases up north.

God this is all so absurd

Yeah, not like those normal people who believe that the wafer and wine they eat physically transform in their mouths to the flesh and blood of a long-dead semi-deity. Or those perfectly sane people who believe their religious ancestors couldn’t walk across a chunk of land no more than 125 miles long for forty fucking…

That is not a hot take. Harper is very good but Mike Trout is the best player in baseball and makes Harper look like just another guy. Trout’s extension pays him through his age 29 season and the most he will make is $33.2M over each of the last three years. Bryce Harper’s best season would be Mike Trout’s third best…

Well, I can take joy in the pain of people who are regretting their votes because Donald is not building a wall/prosecuting Clinton. I really don’t have a lot of sympathy for those ones.

Wouldn’t a butt division be more accurately referred to as a crack?

You haven’t figured it out yet? I’ll give you the answer:
