My premiums recently got lowered to $0.  That's right, an infinite premium reduction.  How does that jive with your "understanding" of how things actually are?

DerpFeed?

fta "(BuzzFeed is) making people want to read and be cognizant of politics in a different way."

Notabunny: DerpFeed?

BuzzGarbl?

Comedy requires self awareness, which is why the majority of conservative humor is awful.

Of all the things to ape... Buzzfeed? Someone said to themselves, "I want to be the next Buzzfeed"? "I too would like to post list articles that consist of a bunch of pictures and shiatty captions?" Why?

"13 Animals That Are Really Bummed on Obamacare's Third Birthday."

Conservative though had gone from William Buckley, passed through Rush Limbaugh, and has landed as a steaming pile of cat pictures my boss would be ashamed to fwd:fwd:fwd.

It's too bad for them that pity won't win them any votes.

when education and erudition are deprecated as suspect, elitist and gay, the ignorami wind up driving.

Conservative entertainment is largely about being mean and vindictive. They would already be the kings of the internet if it wasn't for their complete inability to laugh at themselves.

Sock Ruh Tease: May as well post some things the GOP could add to their shiny new website.

I'd give her a donation.

For sex.

antidisestablishmentarianism: Why does the GOP need a conservative version of everything? It's like facts and reality don't line up with their particular brand of politics.

Because if X isn't slanted to Conservatives, then it MUST be slanted to LIberals since there's no other option. Therefore it NEEDS a conservative version to balance the scales against the LIBERAL version.

make me some tea: while everyone else rolls their eyes and moves on.

No, the stupid version of Buzzfeed is already Buzzfeed.

FTA: Other changes include shorter posts, fewer menu items...

Well when your main viewer base is as uneducated as Republicans, well big fancy words and having to scroll the page a few inches is so tiring that they have to go back to sleep until top of the hour foxnews wakes them back up.

/shiat a few people here only read this post up to 'uneducated as republicans' and hit reply and let the butt-hurt pour out.

//Good, good, let the butt hurt flow out and consume your anal puckering area with rage that only a 6 pack of 50cent beer can dull.

How can we appeal to the young, to women and to minority groups?  I know!  Gobs of listicles!

"17 things Obama actually usurped"

This "snark" of theirs should be amusing, but not in the way they hoped, since it generally boils down to playground taunts.

It'd be nice if instead of being exclusionary dicks who must constantly build alternate realities to reinforce their worldview, conservatives just joined the rest of reality that everyone lives in. Although that would require treating the people who disagree with them as equals rather than inferiors.

make me some tea: This should be about as successful as their attempts to make right-slanted versions of The Daily Show, Wikipedia, Media Matters, etc. They only attract a small audience of those seeking their own echo chamber, while everyone else rolls their eyes and moves on.

Liberals are by nature innovators, the people who come up with new ideas. It's pretty much the definition of liberal.

Can we actually cite a successful conservative attempt at this sort of thing? Yes, their blogs are wildly popular among the chemtrail and Kenya crowd, but every attempt at humor, social media, their own wiki, etc, just seems laughable - and not in the good way. Even the political cartoons we're threadsh*tted with don't approach insightful humor, regardless of the reader's point of view.

I won't go so far as to say that liberals are necessarily smarter and funnier than conservatives (remember, not all conservatives are Palin-Americans), but it seems that every time Republicans try to be funny or 'modern' I cringe in embarrassment...for them.

Foxnews: the successful conservative option to CNN.

Remember, George W Bush was shunned by his own party. Yes, his neo-conservative leanings were actually too liberal for some. Amazing.

REAL conservatives are.  Watch out, RINO.
