The CNN Presidential debate was educational, but annoying. The moderators focused on attacks and counterattacks. If you diss’ed someone, the moderators let you shout, then allow swirls of attacks and rebuttals. When a candidate ignored their provocation and explained capable, rational policies, CNN cut them off hard at the bell. This was Fight Night!
Consider Both-Siderism, where commentators pretend that both sides of every issue are equally relevant. Some (
What happened to spending money on ourselves? Water problems like Flint or Compton are known issues, predicted for decades. They’re nobody’s surprise, but we won’t do much anyway.

He reveled in getting his crowd to change “Send her back.” His goal was to capture the news cycle away from Mueller, and it worked.

The facts about healthcare are easy: Democrats want more coverage and better protections. Republican healthcare means less of everything.
Why are we still arguing? Because it isn’t about healthcare.
Trump tells brown Congresswomen to go back to the shithole countries they came from. The Bronx and Cincinnati? We know it’s a distraction from kids in cages, but think about the person who would use that insult as a tactic. And the racists, white supremacists, and general meatheads who keeps him in power. But they’re still winning. Everything still hinges on taking back the Senate.
Republicans insist that Democrats are too extreme. Our media giants seem to enjoy saying the same. The topic doesn’t matter; someone will begin shouting “Too extreme!” within a few minutes. The trouble is that Republicans are liars and the media are easily manipulated. Why do we care what they say?
I know we’re all focused on the criminal President Donald Trump. It’s his biggest talent. But look away from such a big, orange, squalling baby. We need to think about the Senate a lot harder. If the Republicans keep their Senate majority, Mitch McConnell will block everything, from legislation to the courts. Nothing will change. Democrats need to flip the Senate, too.
