I have not seen a more accurate description of the Democratic playbook.

None of the people we are talking about who insist on using the name Bruce Jenner are doing so b/c they just “cant remember” the name Caitlyn. They are doing it on purpose to demean Caitlyn’s wishes that she be known by that identity.

Thanks! Its been a while since I’ve seen that movie, but the image just fits so perfectly to me!

Don’t forget that if they saw one black person do it, then ALL black people should be able to do it, all times, with no exceptions. Any failure must therefore be attributable to lack of sufficient bootstrap pulling.

The “deplorable” comment was not what did her in. Neither was being disliked. There were enough people that, even if they didn’t like her, still preferred her and would have voted for you IF THEY VOTED. She didn’t do enough to make those people believe that she actually gave a shit about them to make them get out and…

Did they approach you in a hostile manner? Did they try to kick you out? Did other women who told them you were a participant get ignored? Did you feel that if you remained in the place you had every right to be they would escalate and call the police?

Wrote this in response to someone above, but applies equally to your reasoning:

Although this isn’t exactly the same, imagine you knew someone who was married and went by Mrs. Jones, and then—after finding her husband cheated on her for years and left her for another woman in a publicly and humiliating way—divorced him and started going by her maiden name Ms. Smith. Knowing that this woman goes…

Also, don’t take birth control b/c that is for sluts and your employer doesn’t want you to.

My point is that sometimes more is not better.

We have to do what works.

I’m going to keep screaming this from the rooftops: THIS IS NOT IMPLICIT BIAS, THIS IS RACISM!

Please stop using “implicit bias” as an excuse for things. I understand that you are not trying to give folks a “pass”, but really that is what explicit bias is being used for nowadays.

Because their heads explode when they realize that by all objective measures you are superior to them.

Also:

Here, in reality, we also know how the law is often applied in ridiculous ways, such that a minor can be—and is—prosecuted under child porn laws for sending a nude pic of herself and a black teen can be sent to jail and forced to register as a sex offender for having sex with his white gf who is a year younger than…

Pretty sure they aren’t measuring the delay at all, but rather the expenditure of police resources to address his fake threat.

Funny, anger appears to be empowerment when you are talking about white conservatives who have a legit reason to be “angry” about literally everything—even things that don’t affect them in any way, like whether two people unrelated to them get married or whether police stop killing black people. Everything about their…

Sure, I’ll take your word for that, but a water “leak” and water “break” are not the same thing in the first place. Absent the amniotic fluid there is higher risk of infection and doctors/nurses generally treat that as a more urgent need to progress in labor (but still not like immediate birth being necessary). And…

For “sleep training” I followed the outline in the “Sleep Easy Solution”—which is probably not that different from a lot of “cry it out” or quasi-cry it out methods, but one of the tips it had was that if the baby is waking during the night to feed, try to feed the baby WITHOUT WAKING HER UP FULLY about 1 or 2 hours…
