Trump will succeed in destroying ACA

While Trump is not philosophically opposed to government involvement in healthcare, and even seems to admire single-payer systems, he is obsessed with destroying Obama's legacy. So yeah, he was going to destroy ACA. ACA had problems, but those problems could have been resolved. ACA was probably the ...

Re: Kevin Spacey Comes Out as Gay

Yeah, weird. You know what else is weird? No one is calling the 14 year old victim a dumb ____ for attending a party thrown by a 26 year old or for staying when there was drinking at the party. No one is suggesting he’s a prostutute for waiting decades after the fact to report it. Or calling him a ...

Re: An Epistemic Crisis

NPR had an excellent, albeit depressing, program about this not long ago.

This trend, combined with the caustic nihilism/shock jockery of the internet, has me pretty gloomy about our future.

Re: Northam vs. Gillispie thread

Common sense and common courtesy understand that the burden is on the presenter not the audience. What you are effectively claiming is that "your readers" are assumed to be trapped in the same echo chamber as you. And yeah, it is an obscure subject because it is narrow in scope and absent...

Re: "Inside Hillary Clinton’s Secret Takeover of the DNC"

I carelessly overlooked this thread when starting my own, so I'll repeat my comments here: I supported Bernie, but when he lost the nomination, I supported Clinton. There was no contest with Trump, and I stand by that decision. But this verifies my suspicion that the rumor mill that had whispered, d...

Clinton and the DNC

Warning: I'm home sick so am grouchy posting. Just read this: I had promised Bernie when I took the helm of the Democratic National Committee after the convention that I would get to the bottom of whether Hillary Clinton’s team had rigged the nomination process, as a cache of emails stolen by Russia...

Re: Northam vs. Gillispie thread

Northam has run a comically inept campaign. Progressives will be out for blood if he loses. I assume that Republicans, and this board's gang of conserva-trolls, will try to spin it as validation of everything Trump and the GOP is doing. That Gillispie will have won with an overtly racist campaign w...
