It's always nice to see your name on the internet. When I heard that Kevin Drum had "responded" to his critics, I went and read the article, since I had sent him a tweet and wanted to see if he addressed my issues:

WE have break the corrupted two-party system that would allow the most hated candidates in political history, both with negativity ratings hovering around 60%, to be the only viable options to lead the free world. Closed primaries where independents can't participate and allows the hated Clintons to win amounts to saying life-long Democrats who are happy with the system are the only ones who can determine who the next president will be.
Between five and ten migrant children have been killed since February after the United States deported them back to Honduras, a morgue director told the Los Angeles Times. Lawmakers have yet to come up with best practices to deal with the waves of unaccompanied children apprehended by Border Patrol agents, but some politicians refute claims that children are fleeing violence and are opting instead to fund legislation that would fast-track their deportations.
Readers of political blogs by now are all too familiar with the scores of bogus pieces that say, in essence, "Bernie Sanders has been a great candidate and we love him, but when is he going to get out of the race and start supporting Hillary?" The author is usually a Hillary Clinton surrogate pretending to be a neutral observer.
If you don't vote Hillary you get Trump!
No progressive would allow Trump to win!

A crowd of about 150 people opposed to Initiative 1515 gathered in Renton, WA on Thursday. I-1515, which will need 246,000 valid signatures by July 8 to be on the November ballot,
would amend the Law Against Discrimination to state that, with exceptions, covered public and private entities may restrict access to "private facilities" to "biologically" male or female individuals regardless of their gender identity and limit state and local regulations governing gender-identity discrimination. It requires that public-school bathrooms and locker rooms open to multiple people. be sex segregated, and authorizes lawsuits against schools that grant students access to those facilities based on gender identity.
Literally the other day, I walked into my favorite coffee house, where everyone knows my name (hey, I always tip - that helps), only to learn that one of the baristas who had been on unpaid sick leave for a knee replacement her insurance company finally approved (or maybe she borrowed money from family and friends, I don't really know), had suffered a devastating loss. Her husband died unexpectedly this week after suffering a heart attack in his sleep.
