That’s the dumbest logic-pretzel about voting. They’re smart enough to not be sheeple, but they’re foolish because they won’t blindly vote for someone they don’t want to vote for?

25% of Hillary supporters who voted for her in the 2008 primary jumped ship and voted for McCain instead if Obama in the general election. Probably because Clinton has always been McCain-lite throughout her career. Also because those voters were (assumedly) racist.

You’re angry at the few Bernie supporters, but not the Republicans who voted for Trump? Not the DNC for not driving support to other democratic candidates on the ballot for house or senate races?

Just a test of the good old kinja commenting system that doesn’t register when I star a comment.

The poor Nazi's are intimidated by some Antifa who are armed with bike locks and bats? Have you seen the gross Nazi losers who show up to protests with assault rifles, Kevlar helmets, and vests filled with ammo clips? God forbid people who wear Klan hoods are intimidated by being stared at by people with masks.

As much as I hate Nigel Farage, a colossal diaster involving Britain being trounced by the forces of global fascism does make an apt metaphor for Brexit.

One of the dumbest decisions the DC metro made was going for carpeted floors in the subway cars. Some of the really old cars look like the world's saddest Jackson Pollock painting.

That piece of sh*t doesn't even care about the military, either. He'll use that line to prop himself up, but his voting record is garbage and it pisses me off to no end. In 2004 he voted against closing tax loopholes to fund $1.8 billion for veteran's medical care. Did the same thing in 2006, denying $1.4 billion.

I took the joke as joke as condemning the lack of justice Dylan Farrow will ever receive. It's right at the edge of ambiguity though, so maybe I'm wrong.

Thousands? So the bar she has to clear is set at Josef Von Sternberg and Max Ophuls? Darren Aronofsky and Wes Anderson are at the same level talent wise but don't get nearly as much shit as she does despite being insufferable bores. So why aren't they being dragged with as much venom?

My mistake. I was on my phone and meant to post that to the person above you.

I'm a Hispanic male dark enough to have gone through my entire life hearing "No really, where're you from?" or the even more existential "So, like, what are you, exactly?" from harmless and curious white people.

Glacier NP in an open world video game is the only reason I'm now interested in Far Cry 5. I'm looking forward to seeing whatever fake version of it they come up with, even though the E3 trailer Ubisoft puts out will be a complete lie and use no in-game assets.

Point Break is the visual Platonic ideal of 90's action flicks. Speed is a close second. Either way, the 90's movie that epitomizes the decade will probably have Keanu Reeves and a tracking shot following the two leads down a hallway as they shout at each other about who's responsible for letting the bad guy getting…

Haven't you been complaining about "what the AV Club has come to" for months? So is the fact that you haven't left proof that you prefer empty whining or just that you lack the spine to leave?

It's good that you wised up to that. Stanford has some of the best STEM programs in the nation, so it's not like dropping that name paints you as a blue-blooded New England snob.

Even weirder is Randall referencing "cis genre fans" when Ruiz's piece is about racism, not homophobia (though they often go together in certain swamps of geek culture).

Not trying to be an asshole here, just confused about semantics. Trans implies transitioning to the gender you that is true to yourself, but wouldn't being non-binary as well imply you don't identify with either gender? Is that something people experience or am I misunderstanding or just taking a rhetorical example…

It's a military thing. Calling an NCO (Non-Commissioned Officer) or a Sergeant​ an Officer is like nails on a chalkboard to anyone who has mistakenly called their Drill Sergeant "Sir" and spent the next hour in the front leaning rest position as punishment.

I picked this up from a Redbox and so far it's basically Bioshock in space, but nothing so far to make it stand out on it's own. There's really nothing new even in the narrative style. That's really the only flaw that can be levied against it.
