Paul Krugman-marry me!

that's an absurd way of viewing it. Why even have primaries if we can't afford the possibility that a potential nominee might face criticism?

The most logical conclusion to draw would be that people likely to support Jill Stein or Gary Johnson probably do not consider themselves democrats in the first place.

Logically assume whatever conclusion you want, Bernie obviously got people all riled up for nothing, there were some legit criticisms of his politics, and he lost. How is Krugman proven wrong?

It's cool that he ran and there's no way he could have foreseen that Trump would a) win b) be as popular as he now seems to be but in hindsight it all looks fucked up

Got people all riled up for nothing by trying to win a primary that he came pretty close to winning?

And as a result getting significant concessions in the Democratic platform?

Totally different read than I get from this primary.

Well, I’m on the phone with my computer security service, and as I understand it someone compromised my IP address and is using it to download child pornography. I might just be a random target. But this could be an attempt to Qanon me.

It’s an ugly world out there.

Overall, Americans took 9/11 pretty calmly. Notably, there wasn't a mass outbreak of anti-Muslim sentiment and violence, which could all too easily have happened. And while GW Bush was a terrible president, to his credit he tried to calm prejudice, not feed it 2/
