  • I don’t have a problem with folks being outraged at an illegitimate vote; but what I can’t get behind is this outrage while at the same time being (at best) unconcerned with legitimate voters being turned away.

    One is bad because it’s a vote counting when it shouldn’t; the other is bad because it’s a vote not counting when it should. It’s essentially the same functional outcome, it’s just that one of these…you know…actually happens a lot and the other doesn’t.


  • Affordable Care Act, LGBTQ rights, marijuana reform…not to mention a Black man was president, and a Black woman is the party nominee.

    Yeah, it sucks that progress is so slow, and yeah, it sucks that some things have gone backwards. But there has been a huge amount of progress in the past however-many years. We went from “don’t ask, don’t tell” to having a Catholic president openly support gay marriage in a relatively short time.

    Using Harris’ Glock anecdote as evidence the party is moving to the right is just lazy editorializing IMHO. Almost as lazy as just asserting that the party is moving to the left because of the issues that you decided illustrate the left-right difference…
