As I write this, the #3 "Top Story" on the CNN homepage is this: www.cnn.com/2016/11/24/politics/democrats-things-to-be-thankful-for/index.html
"9 things Democrats have to still be thankful for"
Aside from the painful grammar, did this guy really make a "top 9" list--using pseudo analysis--of angst-pacifying bits for Democrats? And of course it's not even classified as "opinion" (a problem shared by pretty much every news site, these days).
One of the "reasons": Twitter.
Wait, what? Dems should be thankful for twitter? His reasoning is just too painful for me to even post. Read it for yourself.
Another gem: Demographics.
We've been hearing that song for a full decade, now. We heard it going into 2010, and we all know what happened then. In this election, Dems lost more governorships, more state houses, and made only small gains in the House and the Senate. When, exactly, are these legendary demographics going to come into play?
Hey, but Sheriff Joe Arpaio lost his spot. There is that, I guess.
But seriously, make it an even ten next time.
