That’s not it. You hear plenty of “I like his/her policies” from Bernie/Liz supporters. It’s not like reporters are asking for in depth explanations on these interviews. It doesn’t take any longer to say you like them for their policies than it does to say you like how down-homey they sound.

Speaking as a Warren voter, Bloomberg’s overperformance was still the biggest punch in the gut of the night.

“OH MY GOD THEY KILLED JUGHEAD!”

Come on, we all know who he’s really related to

Me too. It pains me how sensible her plans are and how clearly she can articulate them AND YET, the public won’t bother to listen.

My hope now is Biden has enough pull to win over embarrassed conservatives and undecideds.

what are Americans thinking?

Maybe I’m the minority then, but I will miss Graham. He is easily my favorite of the current companions.

If America ever modernizes and gets universal health care, can we also get some universal sick leave?

That was one of the take aways I had. While you cannot buy your way to victory, I was shocked that he finished extremely close to Warren.

That is a fine looking sandwich.

We are mysterious people, we steal jobs but we are lazy.

The only Sonoran hot dog I’ve ever had was served to me in the husk of an abandoned gas station Taco Bell, by a Mexican man behind a portable flat top.

Fun fact: I lived in the US for 2 years, routinely spoke my native french everywhere with friends that were here with me, stole one of y’all jobs for a while, and weirdly enough, nobody ever told me to speak english. People usually swooned and squee’d.

But sure, it’s not racist ^^

Be sure to let your sister know that her son is internalizing her hate. 

“Oh, but we were drunk!”

My white sister up in Maine, who is generally left-leaning, young-ish, with a half white/black son who has very dark skin, will complain about how the police treat my nephew in one breath, and in the next breath will rail against immigrants/Mexicans and how they need to get out of the country, how evil they are, and…

One of the great utilities of the comment section on The Root is you read a post like this about garbage humans doing garbage things and you shake your head wondering if it’s actually possible people are this f’ing ignorant, then you scroll down a bit and see some all caps clown saying ‘hold my beer’.

Paid sick leave.
