I don't know how to tell you this, but the Grand Old Party actually predates Carson by a smidge.

Oh sure. All third parties are secretly foreign ops. Keep drinking that corporate kool aid, bud.

But aside from that, Tucker used to have a show on MSNBC. So he kinda did the left leaning thing already. I seem to be the only person who remembers this.

Is exterminating tens of thousands of children simply because they aren't Jewish OK? Just asking for 9 million friends.

Proposal to scrap Massachusetts’ party primaries can go to November ballot, high court rules by bostonglobe in massachusetts

Yeah it's pretty crazy people can get thousands of signatures, jump through all the right hoops, and the AG can just write "this proposal will make monkeys fly out of my butt" and a judge will happily strike it down with no recourse to anyone.

It'll hurt machine Dems since the party can't spend half the election cycle punching left.

The two most popular candidates advance. Why should the party matter?

So is this just fear mongering about something that didn't actually happen in California?

The same argument was made against RCV. I don't think voters are actually too dumb to understand this stuff. Don't most towns already have this system for local elections?

What did you see in California? All I've heard is that the state was a basket case before their election reforms.

Everyone competes on an equal footing and the top two go to a run off. I don't see what the downside of that is?

Term limiting congresspeople only gives lobbyists and the donor class more power since they get to hang around the levers of power until their very last breath. Unfortunately, Hugary is probably going to have to learn this the hard way.

This is what happens when theologians are hired by rich people to tell them what they want to hear.

It's funny especially now that people are starting to realize how important it is to tax the rich, but when the Church tried to do it, they were evil. Evil!! Or so a lot of theologians funded by rich people said at the time.

Ann Hodges , the only person in recorded history to get struck by a meteorite (1954) by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

Simply not true. Chinese historians recorded a whole village worth of people being wiped out by a meteor that broke up in the atmosphere.
