Wow the sheer wealth in that photo is making me angrier than it should. Maybe it’s the fur. I’d just like to own a house someday.

I know it’s creepy, but I’m kinda a cockeyed optimist on this one. They get photographed everyday because of their jobs, the pics are cute, and I think it says a lot about their general sweetness/likability as a family that a photog would do would do that for them. I'll allow it.

What gets me about Libertarianism is that it’s largely a hypocritical cop out. It suggests, despite the mountain of obvious evidence, that the free market and private enterprise, by default, work efficiently and fairly. They also somehow think that the private sector is somehow suitable to provide virtually all…

It's the 'states rights, no federal protections for anything' thing that gets my goat about libertarians. Progressive ballot measures are easier to defeat at state and local levels, except in outlier super lib places like Washington. Matters of human rights can't be relegated to the states. There are things that need…

It’s the massively slashing the social safety net, the state’s rights rhetoric, that Johnson himself has said that he wants to reverse Roe v Wade, and roll back environmental protections and banking regulations. There’s really very little to like about Libertarians.

A core element of the Libertarian party platform is that businesses should have the right to decide who to serve without any government interference. In other words, a restaurant owner should be able to kick black people out without penalty because “the free market” should punish them for it, not the law.

They blame it on Vaccines because they do not want to face the truth Money causes Autism. Just look at Mississippi which has the lowest cases of Autism but the highest rates of vaccinations. They do not have money which is why Autism is low.

I’m joking but the real reason we are seeing more Autism is we are better at…

I’m waaaay to the left and I don’t really see the net problem with the TPP or trade deals generally. If there’s disruption in the labor force, though, the government needs to be more prepared to deal with it.

My first choice is Sanders, but my second choice isn’t Clinton, who shares a great many of Sanders’s policy positions, but Johnson, who shares none of Sanders’s policy positions. Because we can’t betray the revolution (which apparently has no substantive policy goals). Also, I like that Sanders and Johnson are both…

Back in the Bush/Gore/Nader menage a’ merde, I was an angry young punk rocker. I was as angry a young punk rocker who ever graduated from a small private liberal arts school and scored a job with a big insurance company a few months later, I mean. (Now I’m a social worker who fully repents of his corporate daze, but…

I’m gonna be honest: I never heard of Jill Stein until, like, six months ago. Nothing I have read about her or by her in that time frame has convinced me that she’s anything other than a kook with vaguely dangerous ideas, especially for a doctor. I also don’t think she has any real qualifications to be president of my…

Causation.... correlation... yadda yadda yadda. You can’t argue with stupid, yo. I just stopped trying. In all my years of arguing with anti vaxxers, climate change deniers, anti Monsanto plebs, I’ve never changed a single mind. :/

GOD DAMMIT THAT’S BECAUSE AUTISM PRESENTS AROUND THE SAME TIME AS VACCINES ARE RECOMMENDED WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?

The good news is that the right has their own version of this problem in the form of Gary Johnson and the Libertarian Party.

I get the distinct impression you don’t actually believe in God. If you did you would probably be fully aware that He is a big boy and if He has a problem with a woman on a home improvement TV show He can certainly deal with it in the afterlife without any help from you.

I would wager that MOST of the people complaining about TPP have no idea what it is.

So...I mean...I guess I sort of get why she’d rather Trump be President than Clinton? Plus the other day Trump just outright said voting for her helped him, so there’s that. Stein 2016! Make America Dumb Again!

Examine yourself is supposed to be a lifelong process. You are not “judging rightly.” You are being self-righteous. There is a very big difference.

Pretty much the ONLY thing that every sect of Christianity should probably have on lock is the whole Jesus thing, and that dude said a WHOLE lot about love and compassion, and really not very much at all about sanctimoniously criticizing working mothers.

THEY BOUGHT A HOUSE TO STAY IN JUST FOR FOOTBALL SEASON? No. I cannot. The privilege is strong with these ones.
