The reason I kind of bring this up is that while a lot of noise was made about his gaffes and past positions, with both being sources of justified criticism and discussion, there is a general positivity about him that at the moment is kind of a nightmare for the Republicans. Especially since the current situation…

(Sidenote, while we’re being earnest: I’m sorry, but Nickelback’s “Hero” is good, actually.)

It is a good movie.

Mary Jane feels more like an object than a fully realized character though. I like some of the more recent revisions of her character better where she’s a reporter or aspiring to be a reporter. It feels like it gives her more to do and a way to be involved in Spider-man’s exploits without being…

The problem with the so-called “enthusiasm gap” between Biden and Trump is that I don’t think it’s really going to be as impactful as in previous elections. Enthusiasm for this election is high among both Trump supporters and detractors, so the bases are going to turn out no matter what. Most elections like this are…

It’s ironic that Biden’s biggest perceived weakness last year – his status as a boringly moderate career politician – may wind up being his biggest strength. An awful lot of the country is suffering from terminal Trump fatigue, and the prospect of not having to spend a portion of every day on “Did you hear what Trump…

Among white voters, you can pretty much write off men. They (ugh, we) always vote for the biggest asshole on the ticket by a wide margin. Biden might as well schedule the deep cleaning of 1600 Pennsylvania now if a majority of white women vote for him. It’s not impossible to win he gets an even split or a narrow loss…

Yes, I find myself chuckling at the halfhearted attempts to brand Biden as a radical leftist. Like his last 50 years of steady public service have been an elaborate ruse to conceal his radical socialist agenda. Although that would be awesome if true. 

I was listening to an interview with the guy who did the New York Times poll, I know I reference the Daily a lot but it is so freaking good, and he brought up a really interesting point that I hadn’t really considered. When polling people about Biden, even before his presidential campaign, the thing is that while not…

That’s the part that never ceases to boggle my brain. Unless you’re part of the 1% club, doesn’t even matter that you’re white. The GOP ain’t got no use for you. Your wages are still stagnating, your healthcare costs are still skyrocketing, your kids will still probably struggle worse than you and on and on and on.…

I have never understood the “I just want to vote for someone I could see myself having a beer with!” crowd. Why would you want that quality in a leader? I don’t want it in my accountant, my dentist, my doctor, my optometrist, my mechanic, my plumber... anything where I rely on you to know your **** and do it properly.…

I think it’s actually a slightly more subtle interpretation — “this is a person a lot of people are saying bad things about, and I suspect that some of those bad things are true about me as well, but if this person is ‘good enough’ to get elected president, that means I also am ‘good enough’ in spite of my flaws (or…

Susan Collins is a dead senator walking politically, IMHO. She literally became the point of idiocy when she uttered that infamous thing about Trump ‘learning his lesson’ when she voted against impeachment and its gonna be the scarlet letter to her from now on, with good reason.

For what it’s worth, they did do better in 2018—for example, white women in 2016 voted 55% for Republican House candidates and 43% for Democratic ones, while in 2018 it was an even 49%/49% split. That doesn’t guarantee that shift is permanent; white women are one of the swingiest voting demographics and will probably…

That McSally lost and got a seat anyway as a consolation prize did not sit well with Arizona voters.

Exactly ! The 53% crew is no bastion of morality. They are fine with Trumps racism and violence against non-whites. If all these “Karens" getting caught on tape has taught people anything is White women are just as racist as White men. There racism and hate is more insidious though because they always feign ignorance…

I love these kind of thoughts ... tell me more 

“Where the White Women At?” Asks the GOP

Speaking as a white suburban women to other white suburban women: this is a good trend, but plenty of you still need to stop being assholes. Even if you’re bigoted enough to ignore this party’s depredations on other races and identities and...well, everyone who’s not Platonic white and suburban, even if you’re…

Yeah, I voted for Clinton, but when Trump won my hope was that even though he’d push a typically abhorrent GOP agenda and fill at least one SCOTUS seat, he’d shed both his “real estate crook” and “reality TV fixture” personas and actually try to be a good president, to the best of his meager abilities.

Martha McSally is going to be remembered as one of the biggest fails in Senate history. There hasn’t been a Democratic Senator from Arizona in 25 years, until Krysten Sinema beat McSally outright in 2018. Then Doug Ducey tried to make her feel like notaloser by giving her John Kyle’s old seat, and now Mark Kelly is…
