Gerrymandering 4saken, it's also why there aren't 240-250 Democratic Congress people.

For every gain made by a Democrat, it's one step closer to eliminating gerrymandering.

Aaaaaand Rorabacher is outta here

Wish he could have taken Nunes with him.

[Tendrin]

Wish he could have taken Nunes with him.

I think we'll enjoy the investigations into Nunes done by a democratic House, though.

Indeed. Lets hope Kemp and Desantis follow soon.

To sum it all up in one word regarding the GOP and the voter base, Denial. They deny anything worked in America, they deny the GOP being corrupt and having a slew of indictments, they deny aid to their own territories and states and mostly victim blame or just use racism to justify themselves. They deny that anyone but a white male can achieve anything, and they deny to do their damn job.

Perhaps the most important thing that has happened in the sociopolitical landscape over the last few years is that people have finally woken up to the fundamentally reality of white male mediocrity. Our oppressors aren't these diabolical evil geniuses outsmarting us at every turn, they are just a bunch of sorry sad little losers like Kavanaugh, Kemp, and DeSantis who spend all their time groveling at the feet of a boss who somehow manages to be an even lesser man. They don't have the stomach or the backbone for this fight, all they can do is cheat and cry like little babies when they don't get what they feel they are entitled to. The gig is already up for these little wannabe despots, they just haven't realized it yet.

Let's not forget to add Scott to the list.

trump, too cowardly to serve his country when it needed him, too cowardly to face fall weather to pay his respects to our fallen. He continues to be a disgrace to the nation and an insult to my fellow veterans.

He also let the world leaders eat dinner without him. I'm wondering if he had some kind of (additional) mental breakdown and they're working behind the scenes to find the right drug to make him somewhat presentable again.

Just how much of a dangerous right wing nut job is the unconstitutionally acting AG?

Whitaker said he supports state's rights to nullify federal law

Hillary Clinton's platform was the most progressive of any presidential candidate of the two big parties in history. She wasn't afraid to tackle LGBT rights, feminism and institutional racism.

That statement only makes even a bit of sense if you ignore her entire history when it comes to marriage equality.

So, yeah. Way to not be afraid to tackle marriage equality after almost everyone else had already tackled marriage equality.

We're talking about her campaign platform.

Once again we're at a point where Hillary is not allowed to have had different positions earlier on, while others like Sanders get a pass on everything.

I would really appreciate you not straightsplaining Hillary's LGBT record, number30.

Exactly.

Once a lot of the heavy lifting was already in progress, she finally found the nerve to wind up where most folks on the left already were(if you are willing to accept that it is actually where her heart is and not a calculated political move based on the lay of the land in 2016).

She was the very first FLOTUS to march in a motherfucking Gay Pride parade, you gherkin.
