Hotter, Badder, and Unpopularer Takes

Atlas has become 99% unreadable in the recent months due to a large influx of bigots, and calling it a liberal echochamber is hilarious. We have a guy still prancing around after having a Hitler quote in his sig, and several posters who consistently appear to make the most disgusting transphobic and homophobic comments in every thread vaguely related to these issues. If anyone made these types of comments but with racism, they'd be rightfully banned, but by tolerating them this site is quickly becoming toxic fo LGBT+ people and honestly anyone who is a halfway decent person. Sad!

This isn't a bad or unpopular take by any means. There's a reason I don't post much anymore outside of mod duties.

Michael Dukakis didn’t bomb the death penalty question in 1988.

The 2018 midterms will NOT be a good example to base 2020 predictions. History shows that midterm results and the next presidential elections differ from each other. In 2010. If we assumed the House predictions were 100% correct for 2012. Romney would've won New Jersey and I think that says enough.

I know the "MUH ARIZONA and KANSAS D" crowds will come at me for this one.

Polarization is higher now than in 2010 though.

The OK Boomer meme gets under my skin.

FDR’s Court Packing Plan was effectively successful and should’t deter Democrats from trying it again.
