If I believed cooperation was still possible, I’d be with you. But Democrats have had the olive branch shoved up their ass too many times in recent years to keep falling for that trick. Republicans are playing a zero-sum, zero-faith game, and it’s well past time the Dems caught up to that if we’re going to avoid…

What the hell are you talking about? You said “America” told us that we were “dead-ass” wrong. Considering more Americans told you the exact the same thing, what soul-searching are you engaged in?

At this stage Hillary supporters are just blaming everyone and everything but the shitty candidate they shoved down our throats. It’s a disturbing sign that they did not learn the right lessons from this loss. For the record I held my nose and voted for Hillary as well, and I felt awful doing it. 

It is a simple case of Matt Novak being the fucking idiot in this scenario. Of course technology is much more important than policy in shaping our future. Policy is looking in the rearview mirror trying to solve the issues ahead. While technology is the road we ride on.

Exactly this. The CRA made commendable progress at removing racism from our system. It simultaneously made absolutely no progress whatsoever towards removing racism from the constituents that are ruled by that system.

Outvoted does not mean that they arent facist goons, which they are.

Outvoted = wrong? That’s a pretty interesting view.

This is right on... Of course policy and laws are important. But they are just words on paper, and as Snowden points out, continually subject to change. Why are people so afraid of the spectre of Trump? Because he may change some of these words on paper we hold so dear. Like it or not, he is the government right now.

Thank you! You’d think a writer for Gizmodo would understand this.

“Imagine if advocates of human rights held this same worldview fifty years ago. What would the American civil rights movement have looked like in the 1950s and 60s if you didn’t believe changes in policy mattered?”

Go to Breitbart, fuck face. And ISIS is among the least of our worries right now.

Not wrong, but outvoted. Assuming that just because something is popular is right is fallacious.
