I probably would've voted for Nixon if I was still in NY, but her campaign made a number of mistakes and I am so, so, so tired of the angry white progressive journos whining and gnashing their teeth on Twitter every time their guy/girl loses and making it an all or nothing proposition.

 

Yes, Cuomo sucks.

Yes, I would've voted for Nixon.

Yes, she made major mistakes.

And yes, the will of the actual public has to be acknowledged and not condescended to or blamed. You don't get to blame Democratic voters for actually coming out and voting Democratic.

 

Meanwhile:

It's like what we always say about voters, especially those on the left and far-left, engaging in some ridiculous "purity Olympics" (tm @marceline?).  No candidate, I have learned, will ever be perfect.  But picking off every candidate with even the slightest flaw is what got us where we are now w/ Trump.

The Intercept world always seems to focus on the most contrived conspiracies - I saw that someone who works with them was saying that Sean Patrick Maloney ran for NY AG to block Zephyr Teachout and how his Congressional district is now "likely R" because he quit.

Ronan Strikes Again - at Kavanaugh.

 

 

Just this will not be enough to stop Kavanaugh - the GOP will go for a 'boys will be boys' spin which, even if the media hammers them, will not stop their vote. The only thing that can stop him is if there's a lot more, or if the pressure on Murkowski and Collins gets even more intense (voters have been on them, to their credit).

 

Meanwhile, in Manafort news:

She's hated by the extreme left.  She's going to win overwhelmingly in California BUT

 

This reeks of Anita Hill and I am old enough to be glued to the TV with my mom and hating her treatment by the white male dais. Why I can't ever vote for Biden(my vote in 2008/2012 was 1000% for Obama)

 

I would like to know exactly why she held onto this other than to protect the author.

    • Oh wow that’s pretty awesome! I wish I had  approached him but there was so many people 
    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside.
