Kevin, I hear your frustration about the Dems on the committee not being given the credit they deserve, but I do take some exception to the commenters here being as biased against Dems as you feel.
Maybe the reason I say that is because I also read the Dispatch, and man, oh man, do I feel that way a lot about many of their commenters. T…

Maybe the reason I say that is because I also read the Dispatch, and man, oh man, do I feel that way a lot about many of their commenters. The general tone of some of their writers, Jonah Goldberg for one, as well as that of many of their commenters, is the reason I have put my subscription to the Dispatch "on pause" and will probably not re-up my subscription, even though I love David French.
I come to the Bulwark to feel refreshed by what I read from Charlie, Tim, JVL, Will Saletan, Mona, etc., who I respect even though my politics are to the left of theirs so I don't always agree with everything they say.
I also love to read the Comments section. Many of the Comments give me as much information, and are as thought-provoking as the pieces by the Bulwark writers.
Kudos in general to most of this group of Commenters.
Same here -- I learn a lot from other people's comments here, and often leave with warm feelings for other commenters. When I finish reading WaPo comments, I'm more likely to feel the need for a shower.
I'm in the slow class, and gradually LEARNING not to start any fights. The unremitting fury over Dobbs has given me many, many golden opportunities to hold my fire. 😉
I line up very closely with Charlie and Mona on this, and like them, I see no good coming to anyone from throwing more fuel on the fire at this point. More resources for women and children who need them, yes; more fights, no.

There's definitely degrees and The Bulwark is no Dispatch for sure.
And this is still my go to site first thing in the morning.
I really don't expect him to be otherwise...lol
lol, ain't that the truth.

For a while I just wouldn't read them at the WAPO....now I pick and choose and don't start any fights...lol

Yeah, I would say it is the most contentious issue I have ever seen, it is not so easy sometimes
I line up very closely with Charlie and Mona on this, and like them, I see no good coming to anyone from throwing more fuel on the fire at this point. More resources for women and children who need them, yes; more fights, no.
Agreed
lol, same
100% agree about the Dispatch. I do think Mona, Cathy, and someone's Charlie fall into what Kevin wrote. Tim and JVL almost never do
I feel the same way. I am a liberal Democrat, but I have enormous respect for the folks at the Bulwark.
I do as well. And they listen which is why I feel free enough to offer my opinion because they do listen. Charlie's demonstrated that lots of times.
By the way, Kevin, your comments are among the ones I enjoy reading.
Thank you, that's very nice of you.
I try sooooo hard not to let my snark get away from me, not always successfully.
