All ya’ll realize right that if Bernie Sanders had never run, we wouldn’t be talking about single payer now? That it wouldn’t have a chance, wouldn’t even be in the discussion?

Funny how what Bernie set out to do has some hope while Clinton dead-enders are still prattling on about complete garbage.

a centrist is someone who stands athwart history, lecturing "actually, nothing will ever change again. this is all fake. history died."

In reality, what we now call “centrism” due to the shifting of the Overton Window is actually pretty extreme conservatism.

Hey, for the “no one needs air conditioning” crowd, here’s what occurs in most of the South when there is no AC.

Don’t like gramma? Forego the AC.

What’s the most inadvisable thing you’ve ever done?

I have a long list, but perhaps the time I cursed at and threatened a uniformed cop was the most inadvisable.

If I were black, I’d be dead now. If my girlfriend hadn’t been there, watching, I’d probably be dead now.

Shit, that was a bad idea, but the cop was being a bully and I was a young hothead. Bad things tend to happen when you’re a young hothead, but that time I got lucky.
