If you’re in California, this is why you vote. Yes on proposition 50.
That thumbnail couldn’t show a more stereotypical pair of booze-nosed conservative politicians.
Pain Go Bye-bye Juice helps with the weight of rampant hatred.
Don't blame the alcohol. It didn't do anything!
The second comma is in the wrong spot and it's driving me mad
Yeah. It’s not how I would have captioned it… but at least we know our youth was misspent well.
*I should say, it’s not grammatically incorrect so much as not faithful to how the line was delivered (which may somehow be worse.)
The two commas create an aside. Removing the aside should maintain the sentence structure. Without the aside the sentence is "The cause of to all life's problems". So, it is grammatically incorrect.
Most sentences are written with no comprehension of asides and I am perennially mad about it.
Politicians should NEVER pick their voters.
gerrymandering bad.
All other things being equal. Polls are looking abysmal for repubs
With any luck they’ll overdo it in a blue wave and lose seats
I think a progressive wave is inevitable at this point, but it would be very cool if it was a total sweep
Analysts have already said a lot of the new gerrymandering has Republicans net losing seats, but even predictions are being beat by double digit percentage points in the elections on the ground
It could definitely happen
Surprised they can squeeze another seat out of the map. NC was one of the early REDMAP successes.
I agree. I did some light analysis a couple months ago:
Good stuff. This is another example of the republicans trying to show strength, but actually highlighting their weakness. Hopefully the democrats can capitalize on it.
I hope everyone if them Republicans choke on their vomit in their sleep and wake up dead. Expand that to all Republicans and the world would immediately be so much better.
