That was the dems best pick to respond. Terrible speaker. Even pokes can't defend that one. The DNC just can't find its legs for midterms

A Kennedy by appearance only.

All skin colors are the same. What your eyes process as changes in pigmentation are actually your divine presence ascertaining and judging the soul inside that vessel. Few know this.

You need Progressive lenses (see what I did there) in order to see skin color and be able to categorize people based on melanin concentrations.

"Alt-America” is a term that I coined because I realized we had this epistemological bubble. I actually think we’re reaching an epistemic crisis in this country because of it. This bubble was created back in the 1990s, or at least that was when I observed it. I was writing about militias and it was clear they created this alternative universe for themselves, where up is down and right is wrong, and the New World Order is secretly conspiring to enslave us all.

I’d say, back in the ‘90s, at the most eight percent of the country lived in this epistemological bubble, and I would say now we're looking at 30 percent. That’s what Alt-America is, and it’s filled with “alternative facts.” Barack Obama is a Muslim, and more people voted for Trump than for Hillary, and whatever other alternative facts you want to come up with. And guess what? Guess who is the final arbiter of what is true or what is not in that alternative universe? It’s Donald Trump. And that’s how authoritarianism works.

How'd you come to coin it an epistemological bubble?

Here's the Nunes memo. There's basically nothing in it which wasn't already known to the public and which right wing news hasn't already been hammering on for months.
