Tomi Lahren is an insufferable gas bag. She really shouldn't be yelling all the time. Yelling doesn't magically turn garbage into gospel.

No its not.
Dems didn't get out and vote, largely because a bunch of idiots who don't know shit about dick kept pushing the narrative that Hillary...
...was somehow as bad as Trump. And that's absolutely insane. But it kept turnout down and helped Trump win.

Part of the reason that Cheeto-skinned fucktard got elected President is because of false equivalencies like this.
ZZhillTopper
A little roughly put but I think you are at least partly correct. Moderates who liked neither side were to apathetic about the election.
channelranger
I really did hate people saying that voting against someone isn't valid- sometimes you have to pick the least bad choice.
stickalwayswins
Well, aren't you mature?
"we're electing a gas bag racist because people call us dumb and racist" That's mature, and it gave us the worst incompetent cheeto ever.
Something about how most Mexicans crossing the border are rapists with legs the size of cantaloupes from being drug mules.
To be fair Maddow's not the hating liberal she's being portrayed as here.
SexualConsent
You mean to say Hillary Corrputin is any better? I don't particularly like either, as both are cretins who shouldn't be in office. 1
But out of the two I feel Trump would give us less problems. At least with Trump his problems are pretty obvious and we can deal with 2
them as they come up. With Hillary you have a history of corruption and lying, and covering it up. Not to say Trump is an angel either
Have you turned on a tv or read a fucking headline in the year 2017? That gamble has already been proven wrong.
The guy's only been in office for two months. I say we give him a chance. Though, I do agree, he hasn't been doing good in office thus far
YES, HILLARY WAS/IS OBJECTIVELY BETTER!!! FFS, she worked her entire adult life advocating for children's rights and the impoverished. She
understands how laws/gov't work, and was the most qualified individual to ever run for the office. Call her awful, but don't call her equal.
For the exact reasons I said above, I would say she isn't anywhere near the most qualified president the US has ever had
MostSereneDoge
Rachel Maddow has a PhD from Oxford. She's not even the same species as Alt Right Barbie.
godlessheathen702
Alt-Right Barbie just needs to be tied up, naked and ball gagged in BDSM porn.
I had to come back to this post when I saw that. Maddow deserves more credit than OP is giving her.

It's also possible to be very intelligent and have idiotic positions.
Racheleatsfood
Scrolled down until I found a comment that pointed this out so I could up vote it. Thanks.
VonJaeger
You can be intelligent and still be a fucking idiot.
NotABadLookingNarcissist
Seriously. Classic false equivalency.
Plenty of well educated people are foolish, we shouldn't apply meaning to degrees.
trubblebot
Seriously, there are plenty of stupid loudmouthed liberals. Maddow ain't one of them. OP is dumber than a bag o' hammers.

Does putting the hammers in a bag make them dumber?

She has fluff degrees in philosophy and public policy? Jesus, does that mean someone with a PhD in underwater basket weaving is a genius?
So basically you will keep moving the goalposts to agree with your ideology.
torthorse
As someone with a degree in public policy, I can assure you that it's not fluff. Entails learning stats, econ, econometrics, for example
Facts are facts. One party takes them to heart. The other tell you to not trust all of the fact checks and just take their word for it.
+1 for "fake" news!
If you believe creation should be taught in schools, I respect your right to an opinion but you're worsening this country. Go fuck yourself.
+1 for you.
IceFireXD
but creation should be taught in school... Creationism? No. Keep that shit out.
TheWhipLash
Since you believe that the theory of evolution should be taught in schools, isn't it fair to at least teach the other sides' theory?
Once again for people that did not listen in science class, a scientific theory is not the same as a theory about faking the moon landing.
The other side's isn't a theory, scientifically. It's a science class, not a theology class.
THANK YOU. If schools want to add theology electives, I'm all for it!! But of course it would have to address all religious views.
1] True-I believe they should teach natural selection as fact. But to then throw the rest of it in the fact category(i.e. Random Mutations
2] along with NS causing all the ordered information we see in DNA) - that is not in the fact category anymore. It's a bait and switch.
