And it turned up this weekend in Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na, making it quite timely.

“A few days ago, I was informed that some of you may have a problem with black voters who actually went to voting booths and exercised their right to vote for whomever the fuck they wanted.” Wow, it’s like any shithead could say this about people voting against civil rights. It’s their right to be total assholes, I…

That’s amazing. I love everything about that idea - the movie is gaslighting her. You made my day with that, like the gif of the child shooting itself with a toy while crying. Just adorable and unfathomable.

You too, dude. Hang loose, friend.

“After all, there’s no way Adrian could fake his own death and use his genius-level knowledge of optics technology to make himself disappear, is there? The 2020 version of the Invisible Man knows how to gaslight.”

That’s something to be proud of; true members of the Root community, true Kinja warriors, listening to nobody and being heard by nobody.

Thank god there’s an even-tempered candidate. People get so angry about oppression; we need someone who will be mild-mannered and even-tempered about it.

Typical Warren stans, no understanding of unity and always willing to preemptively hold the party hostage for their niche favorites. Some people just like to watch the world burn I guess :(

Also, a name that is impossible not to read as Fawn of Deer.

“The internet—contingents of both good-hearted true blue bomberheads and less well-meaning 40-year-old YouTube opportunists who rant about Captain Marvel”
The rest of the world thinks it’s terrific that you think there’s any discernible difference between you freaks.

We do remember! We remember that Kamala got her cop ass booted and that Bernie is the front runner.... good times. 

Well, I mean... the Uber guy is probably still making a shitty wage and being exploited by Uber, while the founder and former CEO is probably extremely rich and has no actual worries, so... uh.

Of course there are people in Sweden like this! The third biggest party in Sweden is the racist shithead party! This guy probably came to the US in order to live more comfortably as a racist, in a country where the racist shithead party is in power, but he was almost certainly a racist before coming to the US.

1) I think it’s fair to say the American voting population harbors anti-semites, just as I think it’s fair to say it harbors sexists - but maybe that’s too pessimistic; maybe you’re right that it would be out of bounds to say that there is a lot of antisemitism in America. I don’t know. 2) Lots of people have…

Keep up - we’re talking about what was said before the debate. Since they disagree on what was said they were both forced to basically call each other liars once on stage.

There are two interpretations of the very open-ended statement attributed to Sanders. The first is yours, which is reasonable - he made a tactical / political argument that tide had turned against a woman candidate for US president, which might be wrong but not out of bounds to suggest. The other is that he meant that…

Not sure that that is a broadly valid interpretation. If Sanders told Warren that he thought she was in a bad position to run for president, to discourage / intimidate her, that’s him playing politics. If he told her that no woman could have what it takes to become president, that’s him being a shitty dude with shitty…

But, uh... he said that a woman could win. How can he say that he believes a woman can win and at the same time not imply that Warren is a liar, since she’s accusing him of not believing that?
