Oh, but it’s standard here on Jezebel. I read about how people here claimed Europeans (Swedes, Germans etc) to be very racist and having problems with the refugees coming. This despite the fact that for example studies from Sweden show that a vast majority of Swedes believes immigration to be solely a positive thing…

Overwhelmingly, throughout Germany, the Flüchtlinge have been welcomed by the country’s citizens and processed by the understandably overwhelmed local authorities as quickly as possible. Even in small towns where space is contested already because small, housing has been found for everyone.

Vielen danke.

Yes, this!

What the article doesn’t say is that they are currently working on an amendment of this stupid, outdated law. Which is also a reaction to the events of New Year’s Eve in Cologne.

Totally. Even the only person who has ever met her from Gawker media has said that. Although I do think her personality shows through a lot more than it used to. But people are far too begrudging to acknowledge.

By all accounts, in private or in small settings she can be the total opposite of how she’s portrayed- funny and personable. It’s just that years and years of dealing with sexist takedowns, a media that intensely dislikes her, and 30 years worth of Republican shittiness to her has made her afraid to actual show any of…

Being caught admitting Hillary Clinton can be funny and cool under pressure is just so unhip, apparently.

It’s right there. They prioritize “funny and cool” over all else. She isn’t funny and cool, so she shouldn’t be president. Bernie Sanders is funny and cool because penis.

Leave it Jezebel to rebrand it as a failed attempt by Clinton to be cool. What is up with the writers on this site?

Yep. It’s infuriating. Bernie can do whatever the fuck he wants, as far as I can tell, up to and including deliberately excluding women from positions of power in his campaign and completely ignoring Roe v. Wade when asked if he would have a litmus test for Supreme Court appointees, while Hillary Clinton gets to…

Ironically, I read about it right here on Jezebel. Strangely, nary a word of this has been spoken since the original article went up and cycled its way off the main page. Can’t imagine why.

There are about a billion valid criticisms of Hillary Clinton but she is very funny. It’s pretty universally acknowledged by people who’ve met her (including those who dislike her like David Axelrod) that she has a great sense of humor. But she’s funny in public too (like her reactions to the Senate hearings or her…

Spot on. I‘ve been using this argument since I saw a breakdown of everyone’s top staff. For fuck’s sake, even Trump has 3 women in the top ten.

Didn’t you know? Bernie is, like, all cool and shit. So cool he couldn’t even bother to find one woman to hire to one of the top ten most highly-paid positions in his campaign. Worse than Marco Rubio, even. But we’re a feminist site, so of course we’ll just keep shitting all over Clinton for... well, reasons.

Agreed!

“Oh no, I’m not implying... I’m telling you, we have a problem with sexism in our department.”

Weird. I actually thought this bit was awesome. What makes it cringeworthy is how true it is.

“The” calculus teacher (because only he gets 5's on the AP exam) in my department just said that to me at our last department meeting.

“You know what would be nice? If you smiled...”
