Maybe because she actually got things done while they had the majority? I don’t know, does that make too much sense?

THAT’S.NOT.WHAT.A.SPEAKER.DOES.

Maybe the duchess should write a book, “Bitch why you here”?

Unfortunately I agree. People need to understand who else has the chops, because, frankly, the majority of liberals don’t pay enough attention.

Ok, but it’s not enough to just say “We don’t want her.” Who DO you want? Have a couple of good candidates people can get behind. 

Did you somehow draw national attention to systemic racism this week?

To be clear, a disturbing trend on this site has been to go HAM on white women, period. I am willing to criticize anyone when they deserve it. But there is a reflexive “Fuck white women” stance here that a lot of folks have taken, and I will never be comfortable with it.

To the other commenters, where did they act like they cured inequality? They proved a point and people, like local news, took notice. That’s like step #1 of deconstructing white supremacy - using your privilege to not only acknowledge it exists but also right the wrongs it produced.

I see this divergence around what’s…

She likes the guy and he likes her, so what? She answered a question posed at an interview about an innocuous gesture at a public event.

It sure helps that “the left” walks around with a smug sense of moral superiority over anyone they perceive to be slightly to the right of them. Just like with Sanders, Nixon lost because she utterly failed to make in roads with minority voters.

But sure, let’s continue to ignore Letitia James — the first person elected to NYC politics solely on the WFP line — who will be the first black woman to win a statewide race in November...

So “fix the subway to Brooklyn” wasn’t enough to sway the entire state of New York. Couldn’t have seen that coming.

Overheard in Paris:

Wasn’t this the desired result of decades of Christian missionary work in South America, Asia and Africa? 

you know, to dovetail with your comment about going to church. a lot of these guys are opposing people coming from south America and africa, but want white western Europeans. yet they also want church-goers...you know who, generally is the more attendant church -goers? the people you morons are trying to kick out. its…

Deschamps actually said: “Give it to Kylian or to others” (“Donnez la à Kylian ou à d’autres”). you’re being very harsh with your “Deschamps’ tactical ineptitudes”. They’ve just won the world cup and in sport, well, results matter more than inept comments...
