you tried half a score of puns to see if one would make a good metric, but no pun in ten did

idk but huge amounts of people (including in swing states) voted but left the top of the ticket blank in the last presidential election

this was essentially me last year, since my state doesn’t recognize write ins that aren’t approved.

She's absolutely correct though, hrc only opposed the tpp for optics.

The fact that tpp is trash, and maybe there's a reason no one wanted it, and maybe everyone saw through Clinton's lie of opposing it, and maybe that helped drive her loss, especially in post industrial areas like michigan...i don't think that sink in.

good people don't actually demand anything of their political leaders because they understand that governing is hard and we need pragmatic, progressive leaders who know how to get stuff done

what that stuff is, or what progressivism is supposed to progress to, you ask? oh, I uh, uhm.... hmm.

I got into an argument the other day about this with a few people that the history of the CIA has literally given us zero reason to trust their judgment. I of course got called a fool and Trump supporter and told that I have to pick a side. Then when I had the gall to suggest that these institutions will not save us from fascism and that institutions have never saved people from fascism, I was than called laughably stupid and asked if I ever heard of the 8th Airforce. And that Institutions are the reason I'm not speaking German today. All this from a guy who moved to Canada right before the election, who tells everyone he knows they should get out of the US now because its a lost cause.

I was just listening to it a few minutes ago. They're talking about how China is tricksy and corrupt in their capitalism whereas we respect the rule of law too much, as such China is owning us economically.

I always enjoy when people dismiss how the Soviets and Nazis got out of the great depression by just hand waving it away and saying well they were using funny money so it doesn't count what they said the value of their money was

It has been said that the best way to discredit a candidate is to catch them with a dead girl or a live boy.

Would be interesting to see what happens in a race between one that was caught with a live girl and another with a dead boy.

not really, it's the implicit homophobia that requires the additional transgression of the girl being dead to put the crime on the same plane

I was making a joke connecting this story to the one about serial child molester Roger Moore, which, given the implicit homophobia, would put it back on the same plane.

I enjoy the Alternative Radio show that plays here in Upstate NY some nights. This show wasn't available in Miami, probly because people there would have burned down the WLRN building. A couple weeks ago they did one about the Russian Revolution. Tonight they had one with Glenn Greenwald making GBS threads on Obama for killing sixteen-year-old citizen Anwar al-Awlaki and how libs hand-waved the repercussions away at the time only to throw fits when Trump got his little sister killed earlier this year- something that gets mentioned here from time to time.

The daytime stuff is plenty infuriating tho. Almost non-stop.
