Absolute bullshit. These comments are no place for accurate reporting of any kind.

The New York Times has run what is perhaps the least depressing story of this election season: a spotlight on a…
You’re so right.
Ukelele. There’s even a debate?
You would be exempt from my comment! I’m really only talking about the Sanders supporters who leave the most hyperbolic and hateful comments about Hillary. To me, they seem like they are more in it for the drama than anything else.
The media is doing its best to promote a narrative that the general election will be a close and therefore more interesting race. That’s why they routinely ignore structural factors like the demographics of the electorate in previous elections.
I hate the Red Hot Chili Peppers with the heat of a thousand habaneros.
I spent my formative years in a sports-obsessed southern town surrounded by girls who were good at sports, girls who…
The Jezebel staff is very excited to join you all today, which is a great day for sports—all sports. We love sports!
No. The suggestion that people should vote for a candidate whose policy positions and record are repugnant to them, simply because that candidate has made them sufficiently fearful of all possible alternatives, is repulsive.
I’m not saying her logic is faulty. I’m saying it’s repulsive. It’s the logic that has permitted one of the two parties to define itself by the narrowest possible marginal differences between itself and the other for more than 20 years—since Hillary’s husband won in ‘92, in fact—meeting the interests of its putative…
No I’m not. In fact, I’m not rendering an opinion on whether anyone should or shouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton, at all. I’m just pointing out that the logic of her argument is, “Demanding a candidate who represents your interests is for the rich; everybody else has to take what the process gives them; therefore you…
Nah, it’s still shitty. She’s saying vulnerable people can’t withdraw their support from the process when it assiduously refuses to represent them.
Here is a hell of a tweet:
It really disappoints me that no one is willing to engage with this argument.
Thank you! It’s really, really, really hard to start revolutions. Most Americans have it pretty good, and small incremental changes are hard to notice in your everyday life. There wasn’t a revolution when W. became president. There won’t be one if Trump were to become president. But things will continue to get…
I question why these people are so certain there will be any kind of revolution—violent or otherwise. Two Bush presidencies weren’t enough to push the democratic party to be more progressive. Why do they think a Trump presidency would? The masses are pretty easy to keep quiet. The poor are working too hard and have…
As a black man (like you said I can’t speak for all of us) I know all I want is a fair shot and opportunity. I don’t want to have more power than the next guy, I just want to the same shot he has and vice versa. It boggles my mind why people that have it all and always have had it all always want more...wait I…
Can’t get used to something I never had :)
As a black person I don’t know that I necessarily mind Sanders turn of phrase here. When I want a politician speaking to issues that affect black people, the first thing I’m listening for is whether or not the work they want to do is addressing black people like me - someone who was able to be raised somewhere I could…
