You make me want to stop supporting Hillary (I won’t, but still)

Talk more about why Hillary is the better candidate, and less about how much you don’t like Bernie’s supporters.

I’ll start. Bernie is not a pragmatist when it comes to economic issues. The republicans will have no trouble blcoking his efforts while also…

The thing I hate about accusations of using “coded language” is that it makes it damn near impossible for any person defending any set of beliefs to get any point across without being accused of holding a different set of views that are generally seen as negative.
This isn’t just a thing that happens here on Jez. The…

Because I think activists are eroding due process, and I think that’s bad. I also think that presumption of innocence is a good thing, even outside off a court of law, just as I think “free speech” is about more than just the first amendment.

I think worrying about false accusations is fundamentally different than worrying about eroding due-process. I don’t worry at all about the former, but the latter is troublesome.

...totally unreasonable thing to focus on...

It’s almost like... they don’t actually give a flying fuck about the crime of rape.

ghetto’s older than Nazi germany. Here ya’ go. Read up from NPR.com, and notice how even they differenctiate between the correct use of the term (segregated neighborhood) and it’s slang use (depicting black culture). Bernie used it correctly.

Aren’t all political arguments just two people arguing with each other about who knows better?

I mean, unless people around here are mostly ideological pluralists (I find this unlikely) people are supposed to question each other’s rationale. What’s the alternative?

I look forward to BernieBros explanation of why the moms of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis just don’t understand what is in their own best interest, and just unaware of how wrong their opinions are

No, I’m implying that the word ghetto is less narrowly defined than you think it is. Ghetto’s have historical importance to many communities, which is why some people have gotten upset over its use as an adjective. There exist ghettos, and it’s best that we talk about them.

But Ghettos are actually a thing, and have been for some time. Ask a Jewish person like.... Bernie Sanders.

He’ll just tell himself: “I made that bitch famous.”

“But what about my dating options!”

You are telling women we have to be nice and polite if we want to get the message out that we are equal to men.

Normally when talking with people, I want to hear what they think. That’s how this works. You wrote stuff, and I listened to what you wrote and responded. I write stuff, and you reply with a mixture of rage, snark, and sneering. What is the point of that? Would you do that in person? Why are you even here? Is it fun?…

I think the comment I responded to was about the sexism of white men toward women artists. Men are kind of an essential ingriedient to this sexism, right?

I think it has the potential to be interesting, especially for those who want to form an accurate model for how sexism like this really works.

It’s definitely anecdotal and not meant to be taken any other way.

This is true, but I think it is also worth mentioning that the biggest Bjork fans I know are all white men... in fact, the only woman I know well who really digs her (enough to listen to her somewhat regularly) is the woman I married. This in no way challenges your point, I just find it kind of odd.

In winter, I go with verspertine if it’s cold out, and especially if there is snow on the ground. Not her most daring, but those songs are just beautiful and timeless.

I think Post is her overall best album, though, and if I could only have one, that would be it.
