Beautiful. Just beautiful. Also surprisingly close to some of the Bernie memes I’ve actually seen on Facebook. My personal favorite was, “Sometimes it takes an old, white man to fight the forces of evil.” Yes, the forces of evil who, historically, also tend to be old, white men. C’mon, guys. Do better.

Um, excuse me, but I think what Buckylaw14 is trying to say is....

Very well said. Also Jewish, also a veteran of weird/uncomfortable/wildly offensive encounters with evangelical missionaries. The truth usually comes out when I point out- politely, but fairly bluntly- that Jews don’t exist solely to serve as a prop in Christian eschatology. Things generally go from, “Oh, we just love

Then I’m sorry you care enough about how a bunch of strangers spend their disposable income to post a dozen times on a Gawker deals post.

And that’s totally fine. I’m not an audio snob, really- at least, not like some people get. There was a long time where I never would have spent that kind of cash on headphones, in part because I didn’t have the cash to spend, and because I had other priorities. But I think there’s a difference between, “I can’t

I used to feel the same, but then I invested in my first pair of higher-end headphones (a pair of Klipsch Image S4is), and aside from the fact that they were actually comfortable in my weirdly-shaped ears, there was a noticeable difference in sound quality. I don’t make a habit of spending crazy money for headphones

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!

Not to mention that the vast majority of conservatives who hate Clinton that much were never going to vote Dem anyway, so not capturing their votes is no huge loss. Even if they hate Trump, they were either going to hold their nose and vote for him or stay home.

I also keep hearing people saying, “No, really! He’s super electable!” which on the one hand, I’m inclined to believe if the other option is Drumpf (because come on...), but if he’s that electable, why isn’t he winning more and by bigger margins? Gnashing of teeth about politicking and the evil establishment will only

Plus, he’s not winning most of these states with margins that are completely preventing Clinton from taking any delegates. He’s not making up the lost ground he needs to, and 538 is already projecting that Clinton will win Florida and Michigan, Illinois, North Carolina and Ohio. There’s a couple of weeks to go, so

This is the real issue. It’s becoming a question of simple mathematics. And Sanders has been almost completely unable to convince black voters to throw their lot in with him, which is how he’s lost every Southern state so far (and he’s projected to lose Florida, as well, although there’s time for that to change).

I was just about to post this. When I looked just a day or two ago, 538 had the odds 50-50 for whether it would be Sanders or Clinton. This really isn’t unexpected at all. But then, I haven’t been clear on what narrative Gawker’s presenting throughout these primaries, so....

As a happy fellow traveler on the lifeboat of singledom, I like what you have to say and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Also, I would one hundred percent buy a shirt that says, “GET ON THE LIFE BOAT OF SINGLEDOM GIRL.”

People of color and especially women of color can’t gamble with their votes.

I’ve had a similar experience. I was more than willing to give Sanders a shot- I’ve grown up with him as a New England institution, and I was primed to like what he had to say. But I encountered so many of his supporters who were so abrasive, condescending and obnoxious (not to mention the mansplaining- oh, the

Always happy to help out!

Seriously. I’m planning to caucus for Hillary in our primary, but fuck this guy. You have to be a special kind of asshole to be seriously floating an independent run in an election like this, where you could create conditions for Trump or Cruz to win the presidency. This has nothing to do with what’s best for the

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. This perfectly articulates the feelings I’ve had for months about the Bernie/Hillary thing. There was a while that I was genuinely undecided, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was at least partially internalized misogyny that was driving my

Beautiful. Very nicely done.
