Or, every human being ever. It’s like people want to be disappointed. “Oh, hey, here’s this amazing person but they’re not perfect. How dare you disappoint me!” Jesus. How exhausting.

Another thought: Ashley is so smart. But some of her political writing reminds me of all those Psychology Today articles about “how to know you’re a narcissist.” Especially the part about putting people on a pedestal until they reveal any flaw that conflicts with your own ideal, then trashing them as a traitor.…
Or maybe too many of us have seen where this nonsense leads. 2000, 2004, 2016.
I am not in a bad mood and this annoyed me as well. This is not the time to look for the absolutely perfect candidate. This is near-literal do or die time.
I like this comment. Why does Kamala have to be perfect for this to be inspiring? She is far from perfect, which puts her in the company of exactly every politician ever. Still something to cheer.
I’m sorry. Maybe I’m in a bad mood (in fact I know I am), but what even is this about? I don’t understand how, as a Black woman, you can’t be completely excited about her nomination. I am a Black millennial who cried actual tears (!) when I voted for Obama in 2009 because I never thought I would see a viable, Black…
The person she should be apologizing to is Biden who was falsely accused of slamming a former staffer Tara Reade against a wall, lifting up her skirt and fingerblasting in a hallway of the US Senate building in the early 90's. Esther, despite massive red flags in Tara’s story and no contemporaneous corroboration, repor…
Wow this is quite bold of you Esther but I have to wonder is there anyone else who you may have misjudged? Say a prominent politician who was accused of something far more serious that ultimately turned out to a ratfucking operation perpetuated by a perjurer who had been grifting off her association with him without…
You’re rights end where mine begin. I.E. You can’t put my life at risk because of your trauma. Order your groceries for delivery or pick up and move on please.
their concern about being confronted for not wearing a mask in public has led them to avoid going going out:
For fucks sake, this. Yesterday: Shame someone for not wearing a mask. GOOD! Today: Shame someone for not wearing a mask. BAD.
God. Wear a fucking mask. This is not about your assault. It is the worst thing that could ever have happened to you. And it truly sucks. And fuck that guy/girl/human. But, you know what? This isn’t about that. And we all have traumatic shit we are dealing with right now. Wear a mask or stay the fuck home.
Kweli’s harassment is completely wrong and no one should argue otherwise. Also, colorism is a genuine problem that people should be able to discuss. But it’s completely disingenuous to pretend that Moody’s initial tweet didn’t imply that those women are less black than dark-skinned women and that the rappers who…
First of all, Jenna Marbles didn’t do blackface. She had a dark tan when she worked in a tanning shop. Tacky? Yes. Blackface? No. She had that tan in every video at the time.
The fetish is for the a white male audience. Data shows us (in dating apps, etc.) that white women are more likely to be discriminatory against black men rather than be wracked by BBC fantasies.
It isn’t just that she faked her undergraduate degree. It’s that, when confronted on it, she made up some completely stupid story about a secret degree (which she didn’t get a physical copy of because why would you ever need to verify your secret degree) that was personally given to her by a chancellor because she was…
Why are we shitbags if we do not believe her? There is a lot...like A LOT of things that make everything she said doubtful at best.
I feel like it was pretty clear that Ellen’s question was rhetorical...
Not to mention that there are multiple confirmed cases of Trump paying people to level false accusations of sexual assault against his enemies.
I honestly cannot figure out why Jezebel keeps defending this lady. The best investigative journalists have followed up and can’t confirm her story. The Obama campaign vetted Biden thoroughly before making him the VP. They wouldn’t miss this if it was real. Everything about her allegations feel wrong about what people…
