On the subject of lol, more from Bloomberg

Neither party has a monopoly of truth or God on its side. When 96% of Ivy League donors prefer one candidate to another, you really have to wonder whether students are being exposed to the diversity of views that a great university should offer,” Bloomberg continued, occasionally being interrupted by moderate applause. “A university cannot be great if its faculty is political homogeneous.

This is stupid magical balance fairy shit. It is true that the Democrats aren’t perfect. However, the Republicans have been sufficiently corrupted by the festering elements in US politics that they’ve assembled into their coalition of the resentful that summarizing the GOP as “the evil party” is entirely appropriate.

One does not do a balancing act between “just about completely evil” and “markedly less evil”.

The GOP has no ideas or policy positions that can thrive anywhere outside the right wing noise machine. Nothing they have to say would be of interest at a university where ideas are considered and critiqued on their merits.
