See the problem is one of phrasing, it seems like a "gotcha" question so you just give the answer that more closely matches your views. I know Russia didn't literally "hack the vote" but if you asked me a question like this, one that doesn't include context or what I believe to be the correct answer, I'm going to pick the answer that more closely matches my beliefs. There is no room for "No, but..." so, gently caress it: yes.

I do not follow this logic in the slightest

He's saying that if asked, "did the russians literally hack the vote," he would say yes

He does not agree that the russians literally hacked the vote. but if asked, he'd agree with that statement.

We all realize that Russia stealing private correspondence in order to influence an election is bad, right? Just checking.

TRUE/FALSE:
Trump is the reincarnation of grigori rasputin converted to the religion of venture capitalism, resurrected by a foul voodoo ritual headed by necromancer vladmir putin to sap the strength of undying neoliberal lich Hillary Rodham Clinton and defeat her in the election with the help from sinister kgb operatives

Well I don't believe that, but there isn't an option that represents my exact beliefs (trump is a money golem made by a wizard as a graduate project) so I'm gonna say true.

I shared this comic with brother mine:

"blow it out your rear end. Have you been to any political group meetings since the election? The left is in big big danger, and if they don't accept reality we're screwed. But they're all delusional, holding onto identity politics. Do me a favor and name one conservative author/thinker that you respect. We won't beat this new form of cultural nationalism unless we understand the other side because obviously screaming that they're racist misogynist pigs doesn't work anymore.
Tulsi Gabbard should run in 2020

And that comic is funny how it's punchline is basically "look fox news! Remember to keep being a partisan hack!"

Pseudoliberal aging white male hipster Bernouts wealthy enough to own a bigass TV and cable (holy poo poo the first panel) think:
--identity politics constitutes a major problem as opposed to something to advance
-- it's totally a case of overblown "political correctness" that ails the USA, not literal neo-nazism and self-identifying white nationalists
-- it's the liberal elites, not the president elect that is installing the richest administration comprised of ex-lobbyists, bankers, and party family dons any democratic nation has ever on this Earth seen, that don't care about the working class.

I get where there's points to be made where the Dem candidate was a pistol shot in the party's own foot but and that discussion has been done and re-done and re-done here and elsewhere to death, but Lord Jesus this is AGC

Wait, is that not the actual message of the cartoon? I literally can't see any other reading.

We absolutely need to understand the plight of people on the other side of the aisle, but saying we need to pick our favorite conservative intellectual is stupid. The Republican party has been drumming intellectuals (and not-so-intellectuals) out as RINOs since they needed to somehow say Bush wasn't a republican after Katrina in 2006. I would have been happy to say someone like Andrew Sullivan before he needed to start calling himself independent because they just couldn't shut up about how badwrong gay marriage was.

I read several conservative commentators, but I don't think I could name a favorite because I think they are completely wrong 99% of the time. I will say I have newfound respect for a couple who haven't yet fallen in line behind Trump though.

All of this is true though. Except respecting a conservative thinker because they are all subhuman slime, all the way down to William F. Buckley. Maybe Edmund Burke deserves some credit. Probably not.

There were a few. Lena Dunham did, and so did Amy Schumer, who I assume is the lumpy mass Tinsley tried to draw there.

Drinky sure does seem pretty confident the party that - as it's first act this session - tried to poison the ethics watchdog will be cruising to victory again in four years.
