Kentucky may very well be dicked. I did get a flyer on my doorknob reminding me to vote, which was super clever, because I got a late start this morning and completely forgot. There's been zero GOTV efforts outside of a few signs posted in Louisville, which is one of two places Conway really needs to run up the score in.

How are they so bad at this? How? I'm really beginning to think the problem isn't the voters, it's that Democrats just cannot be bothered to give a poo poo for non-Presidential elections.

I legitimately get the appeal of Trump. He's got that magical power that makes him hard to dislike on a personal or emotional level.

Bernie Sanders really doesn't have any ideas or proposals that will improve communities of people of color. Free college is great, if you were already going to college. If you can't walk down the street at night without getting arrested free college really isn't going to help you.

Hello friend! It seems you haven't heard the good news! Our Sanders, who arth in Congress, marched with Civil Rights Leaders! And as his economic blessing be laid down, it shall be laid down on all.


Now that you're aware of these important facts, all your misconceptions and incorrect thinking should be alleviated.

Legalizing marijuana is the lowest hanging fruit of criminal justice reform and being unwilling to entertain the idea shows that someone isn't really serious about the issue.

Who do black voters (overwhelmingly) support? Maybe they know better than white people which candidate is better on issues that affect them?

Really, this whole cycle is a joke. The Republicans and media, well I don't need to go into detail. But even the democrats have Larry David versus Grillary Clinton amirite.

Its a loving joke and we're the punchline.

Ah yes. I am so shocked that in an, off-year election, in a red state, that Democrats lost. I can't believe it.

Democrat part might as well just pack up their bags and leave.

Jesus christ.

Kinda pales against the Pentagon literally paying for supposedly objective CNN military analysts to advocate for the Iraq War.

Correct. Brady won the assignment today, making it seven of them chairing committees total.

But I was wrong about there being only one select committee. That's true at the moment, but there's about to be a second. Here are the list of Democrats who will serve on it, via Pelosi (she did not use the official committee name):

And you really fail to see how adding some talking points and a page on his website fails to alleviate the concerns people are raising?

To the first, I don't do that. To the second, because saying anything reality based about bernie sanders leads to total meltdowns like you just did. Consult a therapist.

Have you considered that melting down every time something less than positive is said about Bernie Sanders means you deserve to be trolled?

I just don't understand how any cisgendered woman capable of getting pregnant could still vote for someone after hearing that! How is that not a total campaign killer? He thinks that a fetus is a living being and worth protecting but I'm not.

e: have any of these "NO ABORTIONS EVER!!" people ever heard of ectopic pregnancies? They'll kill the mom if they're not aborted in time, and the fetus won't survive either. So if you get an abortion, 1 out of 2 lives are saved. Without an abortion, both the fetus and mother will die. It doesn't make sense.

This is when, immediately after the deaths were announced, Romney unscrupulously lunged on the incident to score some cheap political points on Obama, right?

The English word for 'fachidiot' is 'fachidiot'. That's what's great about English. We don't putter around like French and try to make a word fit (Americans at least), we just take that word. You should remember this if you feel some angst over schadenfreude interrupting your weltschmerz over the common kulturkampf.
