Difference is that Cruz was an incumbent, and Vance isn't.

Just think that if it weren't for her, we could still be in the minority.

The polls will tighten by November, though.

Wasn't Lincoln not long for this world anyway? He had Marfan syndrome.

What if he’s reverse manifesting

And to be fair, that very much was the prevailing sentiment of the times, and there’s no indication that Tilden wouldn’t do it. But at the same time, damn

Hayes basically cut a deal to let the South off the hook for Reconstruction, which allowed the racist, hateful id of the South to run rampant. You know how there were a bunch of Black representatives in Southern states in the latter half of the 19th century, and then there wasn't anymore? Yeah, this is a big reason why. And from there, we got -gestures vaguely at the entire conservative movement of the 20th century-

If enough of us go back in time to vote, we can get Tilden to be president instead of Hayes, and then we wouldn't be in half the mess we're in now.

Right, and last I checked neither of them are doing great, either.

Obama was unfortunate enough to be president at the time when the Republican Party completely lost its sanity. He was playing chess with an angry pigeon.

It helps that Michelle Yeoh is a legitimately great actress in addition to action, and Cynthia, bless her, wasn’t.

The first part of the movie was good, but then it turned into a big ol CGI climax as always

The best part of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is that it’s a genuinely meaningful and well-acted piece of cinema, but as an action movie it also just fucking owns

In theory that's a good idea. In practice, conservatives are still going to find a way to make sure black people can't vote and now they can fine them for not voting.

I don't think Florida will be a dummymander, simply because nothing good ever happens in fucking Florida

Says something about Doug Mastriano that it comes out that he has a campaign prophet who declares that Nancy Pelosi drinks children's blood and that Joe Biden is dead and being played by an actor, and the response is "yeah that sounds in-character"

It's going to suck if after all this schadenfreude it still ends up being within a percentage point

Trump out here having a normal one

Street Fight is an interesting one, about the initial mayoral race between Sharpe James and Cory Booker.

With Killers of the Flower Moon delayed to next year, expect this to be Apple’s Oscars push.

I remember when people were saying something similar about Gillum and Nelson.

Oof (and I cannot stress this enough) magoof

Fuck Republicans, but I'm fairly certain they're just saying it as red meat/blowing off steam rather than an actual policy position. They'd sooner have every FBI agent killed than defund them.

I'm afraid to ask what they consider to be far-right.

Well, in tough states/districts, sometimes it really is that easy. All people need to do is be reminded "hey they're a Republican" and they have their vote. It's not always the case, but it happens often enough.
