There is actual empirical evidence that people will follow partisan preferences and it’s certainly plausible some if not all of the increase is partisan solidification.

I looked into all the cross tabs on their last poll, and thought that much of the opposition was soft, and this seems to vindicate that. There’s still room for growth here, especially with “Independents”. The last poll was taken before the new scandal had a chance to reflect in the numbers. It’s likely the media…

remember: it is impossible to lead. it is impossible to act. it is impossible to change anything. simply kneel before your republican betters, and accept their pronouncements.

I think a lot of things are possible, BUT I think we can count on Trump taking some of his base with him because he will be so mad at the “traitors” in his party. 

We aren’t necessarily expecting to ‘catch’ Trump. He’s already been caught. We know what’s happening.

I honestly don’t get how old this young woman is even supposed to be! 

My GF: Hey, I’ve been playing Classic WoW. You should make an account!

thing is, Elizabeth Warren’s made it quietly clear that she doesn’t want to push on Medicare for All. the Woman with the Plan is uncharacteristically quiet on the subject of health care policy, for, you know. reasons.

I predict that by 2023 we’ll have a permanent tropical storm in the mid-Atlantic that will just sit and spin. It will be Earth’s equivalent of Jupiter’s red spot.

You’re right: She was the most qualified and experienced female candidate possible. Warren is absolutely the first choice candidate in my heart, but if you think “Pocahontas” won’t be Hillary’s emails all over again with the same effect, you clearly haven’t been paying attention to this stupid country.

Re: political blowback...I just can’t figure out a few things going on in her brain. I mean, I trust that she is probably a shrewder politician than me (not necessarily a compliment), but ok:

I don’t love Elizabeth Warren as a candidate, but the photo of her in the header of this article is fantastic. She looks 20 years younger than she is; it’s difficult to imagine a photo of Biden or Sanders looking as light on their feet as she is in that photo. Kudos to the photographer who took it, and the editor who…

Glad to see some good news. I don’t know if she’s necessarily a good matchup against Trump, but I think she would be a good President and I would be happy casting a vote for her. I really just don’t want to see Biden vs Trump, I can’t live with a whole year of Grumpy Old Men: The 2020 Campaign.

Nixon was backed until impeachment proceeding started. 

It’s still a check, because the process is damaging. It hangs an albatross around the necks of Republicans. It activates anti-Trump voters. The spectacle can be the point. Even if it fails, there are political benefits. I see no reason to assume that wasn’t part of the design. I doubt people expected quite the level…

Fortunately progressive Canadian alternatives do have an alternative with Jagmeet Singh and the NDP. The NDP have governed almost every province. They haven’t formed a federal government yet despite coming very close last time before Trudeau outflanked them on the left with a bunch of progressive promises, some of…

Hey man, it’s your comment, you get to decide whether there was actually a point (I dunno, some interesting avenues might be the complicated relationship people in the black community have towards objectively vile people like Farrakhan who have nevertheless provided legitimate inspiration, or about the hypocrisy…

Even if she did take a plane, it doesn’t matter. It’s a red herring and tu quoquo logical fallacy. Even if she had a bigger carbon footprint than the entirety of New York City, it would have fuck all to do with the evidence.

I guess the GOP reps never had mothers because when I said something as stupid as “everyone else is doing it” she always countered with something about jumping off a bridge.

Zestiria was... OK. Honestly, I found it to get pretty dull around the halfway point but Berseria is probably one of the best games in the entire series.
