Thank you for writing this. Definitely feels like the lead-up to Iraq 2.0 all over again.

I’m sorry, but this is hilarious. What else can we do but laugh?

Are you serious? Have you ever tried to put together a professional-looking document with chapters, titles, headings, etc, etc, in freaking Google Docs? I guess if all you do is write vapid bullshit for a website, crappy-ass text editors are fine.

I’m all for free speech and liberal societies but fuck fascists and racists. These people have been instituting violence against segments of society for centuries and have caused misery and death for literally BILLIONS of people. They deserve violence themselves.

So you have no actual political philosophy other than “nobody’s solutions are perfect, so I’m going to nitpick everybody”

“If raising the minimum wage fixed things, why do they keep having to raise it?”

You are an apologist for bullshit, fyi.

Ummmmm no. The GOP is “better” at gerrymandering simply because democrats tend to be concentrated in urban areas. It’s easier to carve those up and make it look natural-ish than the inverse strategy that Dems would need to undergo.

No doubt Jesus himself would make a similar argument.

They can pass a pretty large tax cut through reconciliation, just not as big of a tax cut as they would have if they’d have passed the “AHCA”.

This is not true at all for Civ 2-4

What?? Reagan wanted to stimulate the economy through supply-side methods (i.e., giving more public money to the rich people through tax cuts in hopes that they will invest it wisely for all of us) as opposed to stimulating through increasing demand (i.e., using more public money to buy things and hire people in…

Well said, sir. Facts over feelings (I paraphrased you a bit for that sweet alliteration) sounds like a great philosophy.

This is pretty much exactly the reason I bought it and exactly the reasons I am disappointed in myself. It’s kinda cool exploring, but pretty much everything is else is either annoying as hell or just plain not fun.

Fantastic article. I’m a white man living in a white rural county. It’s easy to forget about these sorts of injustices going about my daily life, and it’s important that folks like yourself are there to remind folks like myself that the fight for racial justice is far from over.

I’ve read plenty of Dawkins and can’t recall any racist or bigoted material frankly. Do you have a quick example to back up your claims?

I loved it so much that I just re-installed Civ 4 instead and have been playing that instead for the past couple months.

You do know that the steel magnates and the like that you praise so highly, like Mr. Carnegie, acquired that wealth by literally hiring private armies to kill their workers when they asked for things like, oh, living wages, <60 hour weeks, or protections from being maimed at work?

Can you believe that,with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf.Worse than Carter

I dunno if you haven’t been watching or what, but Shep Smith has long been the most rational and thoughtful anchor on Fox News. He and Chris Wallace are journalists who work for Fox, not just Fox talking heads like so many.
