The Atlantic is a left-leaning publication. They posted the article as if not conceding would be an appropriate reaction. I have read the article (multiple times at this point), and I have come to the same conclusion: while not outright ins

That's not true. The democratic party has not committed to a safe transition of power. Clinton has told Biden to not concede, even if he loses. The Atlantic has pieces saying that the Democrats should not concede: https://ww

I mean, CNN and WaPo have admitted to lying about Nick Sandmann, but their accounts are still there. Clearly, Twitter is not interested in whether news outlets sometimes publish fake news.

This is ridiculous. California's gop is broadly successful as most of the states land is republican by far. And at the state level that's what matters. Plus it's only a few years ago that california had a gop governor. You ca

California's problem is precisely that it is a one party state. Even a few decades ago, California was not the one party state it is today. Having multiple candidates with meaningful differences on the ballot automatically lowers the a

Honestly this attitude is exactly why sf is a dump. It's not about abortion. The chance of getting a conservative leader is impossible in sf. Luckily california may turn red this year due to the hispanic vote.
