Knowing that you’re not cut out to parent a child (at least for the time being) and sacrificing your emotional and sexual enjoyment in order not to overcommit in a way that would end up hurting you and the child is, like, the complete opposite of discrimination. It’s making a responsible, caring decision. Don't feel…

Not to be simplistic, but if a guy bristles when given extremely key information about what makes you orgasm - which he ought to be grateful to have - he’s not worth seeing anymore. A decent guy will welcome the information and the opportunity to improve your sex life if the relationship is more important to him than…

I lived in a basement apartment in Queens for a year, and I'd sooner go back to that basement apartment in Queens than call Donald Trump my landlord.

Between this and NC’s anti-gay laws, those Republican governors of important swing states sure seem desperate to enrage all us liberals to the polls in record numbers this year.

Thank you for sticking with the convo for so long. All your points were very well taken and you’re dedicated to extremely worthy causes. Keep up the good fight. I really enjoyed our conversation.

The big difference I see (as a phonebanker for Bernie) is that the candidates aren’t wildly different in areas where Clinton supporters give her the edge. E.g. Both candidates have perfect voting records on reproductive rights but Clinton introduced more legislation; both candidates have abysmal ratings from the NRA…

Elizabeth Warren doesn’t have all that much of a platform, at least not in relation to the Presidential candidates and political media A-listers. Going after Trump will hopefully raise her profile a little. Really anything that might raise her profile a little is good news to me. Employment rates have improved under…

I’m sure there are a lot of people who do these things because they know they’re wrong, but the feeling of getting away with the worst imaginable human behavior makes them feel powerful in a sick, perverse way, and they eventually become addicted to that fix.

Is she even on here? Like how full of yourself do you have to be to think that Zoe Kazan is going to read your comments on Kinja, let alone allow herself to be at all influenced by them? Kristin Cavallari, sure, she's known to enjoy these articels. But Kazan's got better things to do.

Typical election-cycle rhetoric about jobs and the economy isn’t going to fix anything because the rhetoric rings hollow; politicians often speak vaguely about jobs and the economy but rarely put their legislation where their mouths are. Yes, white people haven’t gone Dem since 1964. Trump’s popularity isn’t the…

I think it’s premature to make such a sweeping generalization about working class white men when neither the left nor the right has sufficiently addressed their best interests and what kind of public policy is necessary to achieve them. (Hint: It’s the polar opposite of what you’re going to get from Trump). And while…

I’m very sorry for not replying sooner. My concern is that the left’s failure to acknowledge rural poverty appropriately - which affects a predominately but not exclusively white population - is creating a vacuum of ignorance that can be exploited by the likes of Trump. Addressing the concerns of people who would…

I met several Trump supporters while doing GOTV for Bernie. Trump’s a magnet for racists, sure, but most of the supporters were confused about a lot of things. They see the decline of their communities and family members falling into poverty/addiction and Trump’s given them a bunch of convenient scapegoats (while…

Does the word “Spongeworthy” mean nothing to you?!?!

The fact that Sen. Warren is a champion of rural working class white people - which Trump claims to be but really isn't - might give her opinion some sway that other, more third way Democrats' opinions wouldn't have. Also, she's one of the nation's most prominent senators and one of the least likely to go along with…

I'm a man who admires Sen. Warren because she *isn't* nice. She punches up harder than anyone else in Washington, speaks truth to power, takes no shit and doesn't let anyone tell her what to say or how to vote. She's a true leader and all-around badass in a city full of sycophantic wimps. The Warren/Hillary…

Yes, and considering that Elizabeth Warren is on the front lines of the war against economic inequality and the decline of towns and cities across the country - which is what Trump’s supporters truly hate, even though he’s convinced them to conflate that hatred with racist nonsense - him going after her is going to…

Counterpoint: Hearing “Bernie doesn’t like this guy because he’s too conservative” is only going to increase the odds of the GOP confirming Garland, which would bode well for Obama’s legacy. If big-time liberal Presidential candidate Bernie said “I admire Garland’s jurisprudence,” there’s no way the GOP would be…

I’m a Bernie supporter and we can smell our own (it smells like a combination of sex, Ben & Jerry’s waffle cones and hemp, fyi) and most of the anti-Hillary memes/comments seem to be written by the same people who call me a communist America-hater for thinking the New Deal might have yielded a more stable nation than…

Not sure if this is any consolation but I’m a white guy and white guys have been selling me out my whole life, usually on an “I’m a guy like you from a town like yours so you can trust me” schtick. Nobody can trust anybody in politics. Even if you follow the money very closely. I’m sure she could see and maybe even…
