  1.  @neil216  Well, Tim and Bill are conservatives. I’m a conservative. We used to be mainstream conservatives. To be fair, I’ve come around on issues like health care and child care/child tax credits, but I think my values and principles remain the same. Maybe some of that has to do with conservatives like us sharing some bedrock values with liberals like you. Maybe it has to do with recognizing everything isn’t black and white. Take privatization vs government, for example. Sometimes (I’d argue much of the time) privatization makes sense, in other cases letting government run or subsidize a service makes more sense. In this case, I’m specifically thinking of broadband access to rural areas, but there’s plenty of other examples. Our tax system favors the wealthy. There’s no getting around that. We need to rebalance the tax code. I still believe that wealth formation fosters innovation, investment and job creation, but on the individual level how much goddamn wealth does a person need to motivate them? The wealth gap has become utterly corrosive. We conservatives had a great run from the 1980 to 2008. We got pretty much everything we wanted, which is why there is a dearth of fresh ideas coming from conservatives. Some of what we got didn’t turn out the way we had hoped. Now it’s the liberals turn for a while.

  2. At least they aren’t calling anti-white racism “reverse racism”, one of the most ridiculous phrases ever.

  3. Y’all aren’t tired enough if you’ve got the energy to type in all caps.

  4. I’m also old. One thing I’ve learned over the past 8 years is that voting isn’t really enough, we have to engage with democracy and we have to work to protect our democratic institutions. We’ve been on autopilot for far too long. If you’re feeling exuberance and enthusiasm, put that energy to good use.

  5. I hope Kamala Harris spells out what she’s talking about a little more, because it’s not clear what her proposed solution is. You don’t know for certain that she doesn’t mean government fixing prices, or prosecuting collusion by businesses that are fixing prices artificially high, or something else. I hope she isn’t talking about price caps, but I don’t know. I’m also suspicious with the “$25,000 for down payments”. She hasn’t spelled out how it’s going to work, but it just seems like a bad idea in general. But I’ll tell you what. I’m still voting for her, and if she doesn’t go into detail until after she’s inaugurated, I’m still voting for her. If she does go into detail, and I don’t like the details, I’m still voting for her. I’m pretty sure I’m not going to like her policies, but, you got it, I’m still voting for her. We can wrangle over the policies once she’s in office. I do think it’s a good thing that she is broadly staking out her policies, though. That gives me confidence that she’s upfront and not a weasel.

  6. The way I understood it is he likes crunchy shell tacos. 😂 and while I think we Americans have learned that soft tacos are the predominate form, crunchy fried tacos (called tacos dorados) are pretty common in Mexico. The best ones are made with raw tortillas, freshly pressed and fried in a comal.

  8.  @brownbee61 and the mayonnaise. Can’t forget the mayonnaise. I prefer sardine salad sandwiches, which someone convinced me to try “for duh environment” (I don’t know it it really helps), but are more flavorful than tuna.

  9. Bill is an OG conservative intellectual from back when the GOP was the party of ideas, not the party of whining. Shapiro and other conservatives “intellectuals” are indeed pseudo intellectuals and sophists at best. They don’t hold a candle to William Kristol.

  10.  @CampfireGorl  It really is a genius strategy. She will have to do at least one in-depth interview eventually, but she doesn’t need to do it right now. I think she has a valid reason, too. She’s too busy on the campaign trail and preparing for the DNC, having got a late start. When she does do an interview, I think a bold choice would be a conservative (but anti-Trump) interviewer that will ask her legitimate hardball questions and hold her feet to the fire, not someone liberal who will throw her softballs. She can handle it and defend her ideas, and I think voters will respect that.

  11. They still have gas stoves, no? It doesn’t matter if it was debunked.
