Can't believe they're calling a 10% win decisive, everyone knows only a 2/3 majority on an issue of this significance should be deemed decisive

I've heard thats what serious people think

It is heartening to see that you, to the end, are wedded to the position of not understanding even a little bit

What are the odds that someone with Sean Hannity's profile and worldview would ever admit to being mentally traumatized by the physical actions of his/her parents? 5%? 0%? Less than 0%?
