I take your points, but a significant part of why we lost in 2016 is that we all made a whole lot of assumptions about the voting behaviors of various demographic and geographic groups along the same vein as your two observations.

Yes. Some of us can entertain two conflicting thoughts at the same time. And jolly good for us for being intelligent people. Let’s pat ourselves on the back and feel good about ourselves.
Ignoring Biden’s gaffes and shortcomings for political expediency in this election is journalistic malpractice. It’s also the same behavior we criticize Republicans for in regards to Trump.
Here we go, folks. He, and the entire GOP, knows damn well that if this election is carried out legitimately, he loses. Their only hope is shady bullshit, and this certainly won’t be the last step.
Yeah, I had the exact same thought. That card looks more like it was written to be photographed than read/consulted.
There’s a part of my brain just SCREAMING that Biden did this intentionally for this exact reason. Just a subtle little peek behind the curtain kind of saying, “yeah, I know many of you aren’t terribly excited, and some of you really don’t particularly like me. But remember competence and sanity? Wouldn’t those be…
One of my dad’s best friends is a brilliant man. He’s a wizard with mechanical systems. He’s retired, has a fair bit of money, and owns basically a small warehouse for all of the various odds and ends he’s accumulated over the years. The problem is that none of those things are 100% perfect. They’re more than…
Yeah, this exactly. If we want to get angry about anything here, it’s that we’ve allowed the American economy to consolidate so much power and money at the top, making competition below the behemoths so incredibly tight that it’s incredibly hard—nearly impossible—to start and maintain a small business unless you have…

God. I so want to love Samsung’s tablets. And I have loved two of them. I truly love the S-Pen. For a while, I’d take notes by hand and write handwritten first drafts. I love how it feels. I loved how my handwriting with an S-Pen looked exactly like my handwriting on paper. I prefer the S-Pen to the Apple Pencil, for…
I wouldn’t lose sleep worrying about the accuracy of anything that comes out of McEnany’s mouth. Or the mouth of anyone that works for this administration. Nine times out of ten, it’s either a willful misinterpretation of data that the average college freshman could figure out, or it’s straight-up fabricated in the…
HURRR DURRR I EXPECT EXPERTS TO KNOW EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME AND ALWAYS BE RIGHT 100% OF THE TIME AND IF THEYRE EVER WRONG I WILL DISREGARD EVERYTHING THEY SAY AND INSTEAD TRUST SOMEONE WHO IS LITERALLY ALWAYS WRONG BECAUSE THAT IS JUST HOW FUCKING STUPID I AM.
I love how in the midst of Trump being the dumbest, most racist piece or shit imaginable, other members of the GOP feel the need to occasionally raise their hands and shout “NO NO I’M REALLY DUMB AND RACIST TOO!”
In other “our president is a dipshit and his voters are just as bad or worse” news, the Trump campaign just released a video trying to scare people about all of the terrible gun violence, protests, and general unease that the country will suffer from under Joe Biden. They attempt to instill this fear by showing gun…
The worst part about this is that, if this advice was thought out, and was being delivered along with meaningful structural, procedural, and financial support, it would be great advice.
The complete and utter lack of any sort of self awareness—forget decency—is fucking painful. She gets indignant about someone else insinuating themselves into a situation that she herself had absolutely no right to insinuate herself into... and then to give him shit about wearing a mask in the middle of a fucking…
I really hate to say this, but we’re thinking of doing exactly that—moving to another country, that is. I’ll accept any hate that comes my way for that, it is absolutely the coward’s way out. However, I have the means and my wife (and therefore both of my sons) are dual citizens in an EU country. A country that is far…
The anxiety this sort of shit causes me is something I’ve never experienced before. I mean, I’ve dealt with anxiety my entire life, but this absolute confirmation that I’m surrounded by fucking idiots and led by someone who would gladly kill literally everyone in the country if he thought it made him look good... it’s…
I’ve said this before, but assuming we ever come out of the other side of this pandemic (whenever it just miraculously goes away), I’m looking forward to the avalanche of lawsuits. “Did you or someone you love contract COVID-19 due to an employer’s irresponsible policies?” is going to become the new late-night lawyer…
Looking forward to Kellyanne and the rest of the circus doing the rounds tomorrow and saying, with condescending tones and eye rolls, that everyone knows that statue has always been of Teddy Roosevelt, and that even the artist said so but the liberal fake news media of the day covered it up. And anyway Trump never…
