More quotes by Kevin Drum
The plain fact is that recent college grads aren’t in massive pain. They suffered during the Great Recession like everyone else, but all told, they probably suffered a little less than most other groups.
Kevin Drum
The folks who want to be left alone are the ones who actually get most of the work done, but they’re still mocked as drones or beavers or trolls. That’s bad enough, but now technology is helping the extroverts in their long twilight campaign against actually concentrating on anything.
Kevin Drum
You have to buy off interest groups, compromise your ideals, and settle for half loaves...
Kevin Drum
I watch CNN, it's so much anger and hatred and just the hatred.
Kevin Drum
I've long believed that having multiple official languages makes it very hard to sustain a united polity.
Kevin Drum
Because prison sentences in America tend to be long, de-incarceration lags falling crime rates by a fair amount, but eventually it does catch up.
Kevin Drum
You're more likely to vote Democratic if you hate Republicans than if you love Democrats, and vice versa.
Kevin Drum
It’s certainly true that it’s easier to be patient about change when you’re not personally suffering...

Actually, I think we all understand just fine why Donald Trump is president: because he ran a racist, boorish, epically mendacious campaign and Republicans all decided to go along with it. And even that wouldn’t have been enough if Trump hadn’t gotten some additional help from his pals James Comey and Vladimir Putin.
Kevin Drum
Republican voters already hated Democrats so much that [Bill] Clinton and [Barack] Obama didn't really have much impact.
Kevin Drum
I hate the idea that we might lose even a few talented future leaders because they fell for Bernie Sanders's spiel and then got discouraged when it didn't pan out.
Kevin Drum
I can't fault [Donald] Trump for firing [Craig] Deare. Then again, I also can't fault Deare for going berserk. Sometimes a marriage just doesn't work.
Kevin Drum
[Donald] Trump had the opportunity to go after [Hillary] Clinton's emails at length if he wanted to, but he didn't.
Kevin Drum
We stiffened the penalties for fraud, we extended nationwide efforts to make sure that payments are accurate and they closed a loophole in which people were gaming the system. We didn't change eligibility requirements or reduce the level of benefits.
Kevin Drum
The ability to focus on a single task for an extended period is a talent that’s underappreciated - especially by extroverts, who continue to exercise an unhealthy hegemony over most workplaces.
Kevin Drum
When Donald Trump disingenuously demands to know why [Hillary] Clinton never tried to close the loopholes he used, the answer is: She did. And if there had been any way to make it retroactive, she probably would have voted for that too.
Kevin Drum
Smart hiring managers in the modern world should be asking, “How long can you concentrate on a task before you have to take a break?” I wonder how many of them do?
Kevin Drum
Marco Rubio turns a question about missing Senate votes into an attack on the mainstream media.
Kevin Drum
The reporting is fake. Look, look...You know what it is? Here's the thing. The public isn't - you know, they read newspapers, they see television, they watch. They don't know if it's true or false because they're not involved.But I'm involved. So I know when you're telling the truth or when you're not. I just see many, many untruthful things.

Apple is happy to allow users more control over their devices as long as it also happens to benefit Apple. If it doesn't, then tough.
