I miss the age when Republicans were seen as the villains of politics, and not unaccountable forces of nature with no more agency than an earthquake or tsunami.
If a Republican took a shit in the street this entire site would be up in arms that Democrats didn’t find him a bathroom.
I’ll never forget “Democrats cave on DACA.” There was no one repealing DACA, apparently, it was crumbling under the force of gravity.
Also “Democrats fail to block Kavanaugh.”

It fails on every front. He nationalized their lithium a decade ago, it’s physically inaccessible, and the lithium market is currently flooded. Involving Elon Musk ups the ante because their lithium isn’t even suitable for electric car batteries.
Morales lost indigenous people, including his own tribe. That’s like Trump losing Staten Island cops. He had been selling off their land to Chinese developers for years.
Is there any bigger group of frauds than conservative legal scholars? All they do is congratulate each other being geniuses because they found the Republican party platform in the Constitution.
Remember when they said Sam Alito was the greatest legal mind of his time? Well it’s been 15 years, where are some of his brilliant writings? What has he written that Sean Hannity couldn’t?
The greatest among them of course was Scalia, a pompous and corrupt mediocrity who died on a secret hunting trip where he was palling around with people who had a pending case in front of the court.
This is so fucking exhausting. The only correct answer is "he will be escorted out by security."
Then Trump will be wrong. The president doesn't get to say when everyone has to stop counting.
And they'll do what? Bomb polling sites? Get a fucking grip. Biden's "coercive power" is that he'll be the person who just won a presidential election.
I desperately miss the days before Bernie Sanders radicalized the hipsters and they only applied their arbitrary authenticity standards to music stores and not the people who decide the fate of the world.
All of their complaints aboht “corporate Democrats” are just their old complaints about Virgin Records, but retrofitted for the highest of all possible stakes.
Thats why they think the worst possible insult is liking Harry Potter, because it’s most popular commercial franchise that has ever existed, and there’s nothing a hipster hates more than things which are universally popular.
The thing about the Confederacy that gets overlooked is what a shitty country it was in general. They had no freedom of speech, and thousands were arrested on suspicion of Union sympathies. Within a year of forming there were riots over food shortages.
The government could have stopped this by forcing plantation owners to replace their cotton and tobacco crops with wheat, but telling plantation owners what to do sort of defeated the whole purpose of the country.
The plantation owners blocked any sort of modern economic developments like factories chemical processing plants. They kept the entire country locked in an agrarian economy while the rest of the world industrialized, and the Southern economy still hasn't caught up.
