Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

This fight is for everything.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Let there be snark.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

    Bastards. You utter and complete bastards. That’s the way you want to play? Is it?

    A suggestion:

    Rather than telling people that they have to vote Democratic regardless of the circumstances, why not tell people to feel free to cast “symbolic” votes in “safe” states in November regardless of whether they are red or blue.

    Since I live in Pennsylvania, which is a battleground state, I have to vote for whoever the Dem is. But I know I’d feel a lot better if I knew that Clinton supporters who have serious doubts about Obama were casting votes in non-battleground states. And I think that Obama supporters in battleground will feel the same way if Hillary is the nominee.

    Again I request, for those of us who work or use computers where streams are blocked … could we have a one or two sentence description of the embedded object and its contents? I can’t see it.

    thanks.

    Well, Paul, since Washington State is sapphire blue

    Demi, Kerry won WA by 7.19 points in 2004. And while one certainly hopes that WA is sapphire blue by November, you can’t assume at this point in the cycle that it won’t be close again.

    WA 2004 was four years ago. Turnout was low, and the state Dem candidates were…uninspiring at best. By contrast, Republican turnout was amplified by the real belief that Dino Rossi could take the Governorship. He didn’t, in the end, and since then, the Washington Republican Party has imploded (and don’t just ask me, ask any of our WA residents), and may wind up losing its one promising moderate, our Secretary of State, if the Huckabee candidacy survives Texas next Tuesday.

    Paul,

    There are no safe states.

    Anybody listening to NPR “Talk of the Nation”? They are looking at the differences between Obama and Clinton. Illuminating..

    Paul,

    There are no safe states.

    Jon, if states like RI, NY, MA, and VT aren’t considered “safe” for Democrats by November (or ID, UT, MT, GA aren’t considered safe for the GOP by November) we are looking at a landslide for one party or another — in which case, every Obot who despises Hillary, and every Hillbot who despises Obama, can do whatever the hell they want, because it won’t make a difference in the winner in the electoral college.

    you know, you really need to stop hanging out at taylormarsh. The sheer hatred that is reinforced over there is damanging for the optimism.

    This is garbage. It’s a perfect type of garbage, in the sense it takes itself seriously.

    But “politics of dancing”, with the most droll singer in the world – stuck to a bad disco beat?

    Wow – just bad.
