Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The words do not have to be perfect.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Be a wild strawberry.

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

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

    I’ve got a bit of nostalgia – I lived right next to Fenway for 12 years, and for the first 7 of those, really soaked up the Red Sox atmosphere. I was involved in all the 2004 games, and it was magical beyond compare.

    Fuck the Sawx. Screw the Cards. Bullshit teams playing a bullshit game. Baseball ought to be grateful for cricket, since otherwise it would be the worst-sucking popular sport in the multiverse.

    Well, while we’re talking sports:

    Politico:

    A new app called 2nd Vote is designed to allow conservative voters to see how companies score on five issues: gun rights, abortion, the environment, same-sex marriage and federal subsidies — though it’s even attracted some liberal fans. Giving each company a score from 1 to 10, the app rates everything from the airline industry to Internet businesses as actively liberal, passively liberal, passively conservative and actively conservative. …

    In the long run, 2nd Vote plans to add more issues, more companies and add gamification features to the app that would encourage users to rack up high scores by shopping at conservative companies.

    Wonderful. A new step forward for the Conservative Purity Wars: Now they’re scoring it.

    @JGabriel: there was a site called Buy Blue that was the same. Turns out that tracking corporate behavior is really difficult. I don’t expect this to last long (or if it does, to be useless parroting of standard republican talking points)

    @Yatsuno:

    I’m just trying to imagine the conversations:

    Con 1: You just bought a Vente at Starbucks, you commie libtard

    Con 2: Oh yeah, well, my Conservative score is 20,473 and your’s is only 19,874. You haven’t even cracked 20k yet, you Islamofascist creep-balls.

    Eventually there will be but one final Conservative, and he will be Reagan Reborn.

    Heh. This was my prediction, Oct. 2008:

    Between the freepers hating on [Kathleen] Parker, and McCain dissing [George] Will, the Republican Purity Wars continue apace.

    By 2012 they will have all killed each other off in a orgy of murder, cannibalism, and purer-than-thou recrimination, until only 2 are left, Ace of Spades and Michelle Malkin, each circling the other with rocks in their hand, shouting “You’re a RINO!” “No, you are!”

    One of them leans in for the attack, they pounce, and…

    I may have been too optimistic on how quickly it would happen, but it’s remarkable how little has changed in the dynamic.
