Disgusting. Shame on you.

I think part of the reason the Pope thing is hitting so much is that modern life is so devoid of *any* morality, any system of right and wrong that is not completely hollow and fraudulent, which hits as halfway sensible and opposed to Trump and those like him, feels absolutely revolutionary

Thank you for keeping this site wild and fun. People like you build the culture we all know and love so much. I salute you.

An unresolved fact of American politics from the left of center is how remarkably anti-democratic it remains in practice, from leadership to party elites and the consultants. This altogether presents a massive hurdle to not only legitimacy but also the exercise of power needed for political reform.

But whatever our Greatness it was achieved through policy choices and can be undone by other choices. It's happening now!

Guess what? That's why there are researchers who track these things which is what we're all talking about here. That way we don't have to rely on anecdotes. Crazy, right?

Your experience doesn't match most people's clearly. Why are you trying to obscure this? Aren't you a journalist?

The bad faith coming off you is so gross.

Oh I've never seen them. They're all waist-height from my experience.

Where does LA have full length fare gates?

Ok but all the people who are defending him could go listen to people who don't do rape apologia and are opposed to the genocide of Palestinians.

@katelynburns.com shame on you! Shame on you!
