Can we fucking not? We've got one shot to go "oh man that was a top-flight whoopsiedoodle" and return to rule by people with something on their resumes. I really don't think we can survive eight years of ironic celebrity presidents elected on the basis of "well he can't be any worse." Sure, President The Rock…

"Fuck the press," he said to the press

Can you imagine if that were your kid

A huge amount of blame gets placed on the DNC because of LEAKED EMAILS revealing staffers talking the way adults do about a guy they don't like way after they could have made a difference. Clinton hurt a lot of feelings by winning the primary, especially among dumbasses that didn't realize you don't always get the…

She was a middling candidate if it weren't for a thirty year smear campaign that she knew full well had been happening, running against an intensely dumb candidate who a lot of intensely dumb people saw themselves in. Sexism was in there, but I really think the clincher was the little man that says "FUCK YOU LIBS AND…

I don't know how it works up north, but the democrats are in fact the party that deserves to rule. Our conservatives don't really have ideas beyond "fuck you, liberals," and haven't for many years. We're not arguing about to what degree we should be working with ideas like climate change, we're arguing about whether…

Oh I completely agree. "Fuck trump" is definitely job number one right now, but we need to be prepared for what comes next. Our house is on fire, we need to secure our valuables and put the fire out, but we also need to be thinking about where we're gonna sleep tomorrow and how we're going to repair the structural…

Yeah it takes an idiot about a second and a half to figure a line out. Alternately: she pressed the button so the guy would see that she saw it. Boom, done.

Dawg I live in Portland, you don't need to tell me this

In this case it was worse for sure. She chastised one of the black dudes for touching her shoulder, and then somebody played some hiphop and she was trying to "back it up" on that same dude, in a way where she was clearly putting quotation marks around her activities. She also made some reference to "Asian culture"…

Oh man and when they're not even actually right, but still congratulating themselves for being right-adjacent, that's where it hurts me. I was sitting out front of a bar recently and saw this girl trying and failing to get along with some black folks. They walk off laughing and she asks where they're going and they…

The other problem with that is that it ties your hands. I like mobility and adaptability, branding yourself too hard as the party of good people who don't do bad things just sets you up for "SO MUCH FOR THE TOLERANT LEFT HAR HAR HAR" whenever you have to climb down off your horse and get dirty. Brand yourself as the…

I'm not familiar with her, but she makes a lot of sense in this interview. Yeah, fuck trump for sure, but focusing solely on hating him is a really easy way to end up like the GOP, just working to fuck the other guy over and playing catch-up and not really providing a good alternate policy package. Stopping the AHCA…

Viewers will, the country won't.

Oh man you're gonna be so stoked when you find out about restaurant supply stores

That cuts the other way too, though. When a republican wins due to an electoral college victory, that's the will of way more people getting stomped. Look at where we're at right now, three million fewer people voted for this guy and he won.

Jeff Sessions sure the fuck wouldn't be AG, I'll tell you that for free

Yeah I see a lot of whining about how people would just campaign in California, but there's a whole lot of red California. I'm from Oregon, where a lot of conservatives in the sticks just don't even bother voting because they know Portland and Eugene are going to have us blue no matter what. Let those dummies have…

In my short life, I've lived under two presidents who lost the popular vote, and both have been disasters.

Yeah I've never really gotten why the less popular opinion gets a louder voice by virtue of existing next to a bunch of empty land.
