Agreed. I want to see Bernie in the general—and I think he’s a lot more electable than people give him credit for. . . . .but, I DO fear he will not recognize the GOPs tactics as actual threats. Too many democratic candidates think they can get away with, “well, what they are saying is untrue/dumb, so I can just waive…

Yep. Warren is definitely an outspoken fan of Bernie (and rather dubious of Hillary), though she hasn’t endorsed anyone yet. Hillary really fucked her over in the early 2000's.

It’s so freaking sexist. I’m voting for Bernie because I’m actually able to form an opinion and consider different options. WHO KNEW???!!!!

That’s actually a really good point. Jennifer Lawrence is not going to be harmed by any of this—because of her youth, whiteness, AND, esp. her enormous popularity. It’s good that she might a human shield for the people who risk never being cast again (and I mean this in all seriousness). So now I wish she would talk…

True, they don’t. But he’s not attempting to speak for them. He’s speaking about them and their experiences. And no man who was playing the role of savior would have EVER said this statement, which is just so charged with a sense of equality:

The dress looks like it has extra fabric in the waist. . . . which makes it sag a bit. I think otherwise she looks lovely. But she also looks sad? I HOPE SHE IS NOT SAD.

Beautifully said. Really beautifully said. I think it is hard to separate what is “right” in these circumstances (for me, at least)—because some of it is strategically motivated in my heart. And I just don’t want “gay-shaming” to be a thing—nor am I proud that “outing” would be a place I would ever go in my mind. But,…

He’s the worst. Look at how he treats his poor daughter!

From The New Yorker. :)

I’m also personally really torn about this. . . . . Part of me thinks that outing anyone or treating homosexuality as if it is “scandalous” is ALWAYS wrong, even in the cause of showing some powerful anti-gay bigot to be a raging hypocrite. This part of me thinks it’s always wrong because we are perpetuating the idea…

I FORGOT about Room. You nailed it.

Idris Elba absolutely would have been nominated for an Oscar. He wasn’t because not enough people saw, or wanted to see, a film about child soldiers.

Or, alternatively, all of them are a potentially a vote that does not go to Rubio, Kasich, or Bush, leaving Trump + Cruz to shore up all the rest, and leaving the establishment in shambles. . . . . . .

I respectfully agree and disagree. I do believe he probably did horrible things to children. And I am pretty disgusted by how everyone seems to have forgotten this about this after his death and completely deified him (when he was pretty reviled while he was alive). And I don’t mean to deify him here. But, at the same…

It’s depressing. And, because there was NO evidence in the Dassey case, there is nothing to retest—and nothing for internet sleuths to mull over and discuss and get all fired up about. There was no evidence. All there was was the obviously coerced confession—which he recanted. That’s all there was. And, part of me…

Seriously LOL.

LOL. Do you actually think dropping an undergraduate degree cred (OMG?? A white dude has a BA or a BS??!!!!) is impressive? It’s not. I may or may not be much, much, much more credentialed than you, but I am choosing not to play that game (the degree-dropping-one)—because it is classist and actually indicative of very…

This person proved they are not worthy to be part of any discussion of racism the moment they chose to not listen to the points of view of ANYBODY. . . . mostly of all the people who have actually lived through racial discrimination. Who the fuck condescends to a POC in America when discussing the issue of race?…

This commenter is all over the place. One second he is apologizing and the next second he is saying I have a low-IQ—and, much worse, calling other women “Honey Bun” and “Sweetie.” I granted him some space for his apology—but I felt uncomfortable immediately afterwards when I saw just how gross he had been to other…

I expressed the opinion that “self hating [x]” was a myopic and silly argument no matter what. I also said it’s particularly awful when members outside of a community accuse members INSIDE the community of being self-hating. And nothing you have said would refute that.
