I get your point but both Germany and Japan do exactly that along with a public option and significant restrictions on who insurance companies can sell to as well as price controls- they basically have what Biden and Pete are suggesting on steroids

Don’t worry about it, you were probably right to be a little irritated I should have put a disclaimer on the original post that acknowledged her accomplishments because God knows how much people like to minimize them but I didn’t want to distract people from the snark and also I’m lazy

I just saw a different poll (I think it might have been Ipsos or Merrist) come out that had the race pretty much exactly the same as where it has always been- the CNN poll is very likely an outlier but I can't wait to see all the opinion pieces talking about how he's now ahead and the people have woken up to the…

I’m well aware of her accomplishments and I used “former First Lady” for comedic effect because that would emphasize how ridiculous Tulsi's lawsuit is

Realistically she probably COULD sue Fox News and a lot of other media outlets for defamation regarding Benghazi and Seth Rich, and Vince Foster- wait how was she given special treatment by the corporate media again?

What’s your point? One of these is an important discussion about a sexy nut that provides invaluable insight into the time we live and the other is about noted lunatic Tulsi Gabbard suing a former First Lady

I would LOVE to say that I’m conflicted about the lawsuit because of how fucked up Hillary’s meddling in the primary is but honestly I’ve got to say “kick her homophobic Russian loving ass Hil!" Also it should be noted that she didn't directly call Tulsi a Russian asset she called Jill Stein one and how she worded it…

I get where your coming from with Klobuchar although but I don’t think that her not ever thinking about running until now is about her waking up in the morning and saying to herself “I want to run for president because I’ve suddenly decided to be an ambitious attention speaker” so much as her thinking “Oh my God the…

Fuck I’m already told to be ever vigilant to the influence of Big Pharma Big Oil Big Banks now Big FUCKING POTATO son of bitch this country's screwed

Non practising Catholic here- I hate to say it but I’m backing Beer Pope on this one being a priest- especially a Catholic priest- is more than just being God’s middle man (let’s assume for the purposes of this post that he does and in the way Catholics envision him) it’s about being a leader of the community and…

Honestly it just occurred to me that one of the main”rebuttals” to treating it like anything other than an outlandish notion that he told her that was that he tried to recruit her in 2016 and only ran because she didn’t but if that’s the case- why is he running now? He continuously defends her progressive credentials…

The main problem with Sanders supporters (and leftists against “identity politics” in general) is that they conflate tokenism with identity politics when the two are really only tenuously related. Tokenism says that having women and black people in power is good in and of itself identity politics is the idea that a…

Yeah the whole argument boils down to “smart people and rich people want to vote for her and therefore she’s really a conservative/centrist/neo-liberal/insert other increasingly meaningless criticism here” but the ultimate problem with that is that’s what smart people do- they vote for smart candidates. Also if the…

I read that article in Jacobin and my god their bunker mentality is showing it’s pathetic worrying and amusing all at the same time

Thank GOD! One, creepy, kooky woman’s unserious presidential campaign down one to go! (Who I’m talking about should be obvious but I’m worried if I say who she’ll appear in a puff of smoke and bitch about how the dnc is mean to her)

Do you think that they’ll hire someone to play her in her old age or are they just going to use scenes from the biopic they made about her during her ruby slipper incident? I mean we have all footage for it already and Margaret Hamilton was great playing her...

I’m mean I’m just going to be charitable and say that I think he’s trying to show he’s aware of how people see rich people and is leaning into that in an attempt at humor like Bill Weld did with his Mayflower quip but it’s still pretty bad he just doesn’t have the affect to make it work

Hold on a second while I put on my top hat and monocle

I saw her article and all I could think was “what is this woman’s fucking point?” She flat out stated that it was a complete failure but yet she seemed weirdly nostalgic for prohibition as if she thought it could work this time or that alcohol was the problem instead of the people drinking it

Yeah a lot of the dumber people in the prohibition movement got into it because they thought it would make Irish an Italians either not want to move here/ go home because they wouldn’t be allowed to purchase communion wine for mass the fact that communion wine would likely have been exempted under the first amendment…
