He was the one US Senator who did not vote in the Planned Parenthood defunding bill. Somehow Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz all got back to Washington for that particular vote. Except Bernie. Do you have any idea how bad the optics on that vote were? And that's just one example. I could go on and on and on.

He provided no roadmap for attacking racism, misogyny, transphobia, or homophobia. I'm not going to take that leap of faith that you're willing to do that Sanders cared about any of those issues. Other than Wall Street and income inequality, everything else was always an afterthought. I don't want my political leaders…

Yes, f him is right. He's assuming all minorities, women and LGBT community members' problems can be solved by addressing income inequality, which goes to show you that he's a one-note idealogue who rightly lost the primaries. And the fact that you believe addressing income inequality solves all homophobia,…

Oh dear. Yes, you'll have to let us know about all this circumstantial evidence of Obama colluding with the Kremlin to influence our sovereign elections.
Does the term "false equivalency" mean anything to you?

TV generally speaking is heightened reality. I was having a conversation with a law school friend about what How To Get Away With Murder would actually look like if it it were realistic. It would feature a bunch of nerdy, socially awkward, unattractive folks attending an elite law school. It would show them doing…

Bernie lost the South Carolina vote well before "Bernie Bros" was a "thing." Don't blame identity politics for Sanders losing the people of color vote; he did that all on his own. POC did not identify with him. It's as simple as that.
He also got clobbered in the female vote and the LGBT vote. The way he would distil…

My guess is they'll probably remain mostly apolitical on that front, like Veep. Wasn't it not until this last season that we learned Selena Meyer was actually a Democrat?

Then don't watch. Showtime will be devastated. Totally. You should also boycott cereals or something like that.
Totally.

I mean, you've complained about each and every aspect of the episode ad nauseum up and down the thread. I don't get the sense that anything is going to please you. As to why you watch it? I have no idea. I don't know you. All I know is that you haven't stopped bitching in this entire comments section, which leads me…

You're right. I am. I misread what you wrote. My apologies.

Speak for yourself. Assuming everyone is watching the episode the same way you are would be an incorrect assumption. Many people unironically like this show.

I would argue that any of the scenarios you posited would have been equally derided by someone who was predisposed to not liking the episode.

If you don't read the news, I can't help you. Google Israel and the Geneva Convention. Although I suspect many of the hits will about their violation of Article 4, there are plenty of war crimes they are most definitely guilty of in Lebanon and Palestine, which the US media gives them a free pass on.

Google it yourself. It's not my responsibility to educate you on world affairs.

No, they just bomb entire city blocks against the Geneva Conventions regarding disproportionate force and collateral damage.

I laugh at stupid people. You're funny!

Yes, that was taken right out of the Quentin Tarantino playbook. I greatly approve.

Mostly stand-alone. There are a few details from the first two seasons that would be very useful to know from seasons 1 and 2, but you can actually just skip those and go straight to the legitimately amazing season. I might recommend watching an episode or two beforehand just to get a better sense as to who the…

I pretend like seasons 1 and 2 didn't happen. Season 3 was legitimately the best thing I saw on tv that year, and I'm including Breaking Bad. Season 3 of The Killing puts True Detective to shame. That was some tour de force acting performances coupled with some super clever writing.

Nah, The Killing had some good moments.
