If MeToo is broadened to be about assholes, then it has lost its true north. The only substantial accusation (every other accusation is of Diaz being a jerk and even those are insubstantial on the jerk spectrum) is that he kissed Clemmons. She refuses to say where.

Winning a primary doesn’t mean you can win the general. Hence the long history of far left and far right individuals winning primaries and then losing to moderates in the general. So its very disingenuous to argue otherwise when our resuregence has come with moderate Dems beating far right asshats. That said, the left…

Thank you for providing me all of this. Although you were more catching me up than making a series of points, the last bit you mentioned about “why” he’s covering this strikes me as off. If only because it doesn’t take into consideration how someone’s career might develop. Write one piece on this topic and get more…

You’ve assumed an awful lot about me. I asked the question because I am not seeing transphobia and want someone to make that case. Right now, the only thing Harron can stick on the guy is that he has an interest in this topic and that should be suspicious. So some run of the mill internet paranoia. Further, that there…

If #selfcare was ever a radical act, it has been dead and buried since every two bit narcissist with a “following” decided to use it as a way to rebrand self-absorption and tone deafness. The idea of self care is sound. The notion that it must be discussed like it is something new is comical.

Yeah you’ve got a beef with an old dude who’s probably dying as we speak. Why not have a beef with the fucknuts who haven’t show up two election days in a row and allowed us to be in this place. There are literally millions of them.

And Killer Mike. And Bernie Sanders for his smug AF endorsement that amounted to him masturbating in public

Honestly, can you please for the love of anything explain how anything this guy has written is transphobic or hurts trans people? He is advising caution, using the limited data available and first person accounts, about drugging up of children we do not allow to consent to sex, we do not allow to drive, vote, or…

Eh, the premise of your idea is a bit off. The white moderates that King were referring to were people who said things like “slow your roll Jack” and “you can’t force these things”. That’s another point of debate. This particular moment find me a Democrat who has defended what’s happening at the border. Fuck, find me…

Dude, we’d win by turning the other cheek if fuckheads showed up to vote. That’s all that’s it. There isn’t an election in the last fifty years that by sheer numbers people with “liberal” values (of their time) wouldn’t have won if people showed up. Young people don’t vote. Liberals of all ages don’t show up to vote…

Honest question: what are folks thoughts on Glover? He’s had a lot of goodwill since Atlanta debuted, but he’s a pretty interesting case. Obviously he brokethrough in about as white a world as there is in the NBC comedy scene, liberal or not. And his standup special thats on Netflix from what 2012? It’s a pretty…

This should be cited in every legislative session across this country as they attempt to trample on peoples rights. I’m really over outrage, but this is genuinely outrageous. It’s specifically exactly the sort of situation a conservative would feel for themselves or their own family and would “allow it” just for…

Thank you. Reaction to this bakery thing has been crazy. It is an extremely narrow opinion that ultimately protects the rights of artists but more specifically had qualms with the bias involved in the Colorado something-somethings ruling on the matter that more or less antagonized the religious.

Wanting to be loved and cared about is a huge part of why certain identity movements are faltering right now and have only gained acceptance out of intimidation of any liberals who have the gall to ask them questions.

I mean I don’t even have thoughts on let alone love or hate for Melania, but are you implying that she as a mail order bride chose Trump because he’s racist? Thats pretty wacky. You think Trump seduced her with a sign saying I hate the non-whites? He paid for her and continues to do so. 

I’m sorry for whatever happened to you.

But at this point you’ve offered nothing to enlighten me. So your engaging is purely for your own catharsis. Your level of commitment to whatever your political worldview is cannot be very high if the only satisfaction you’re looking for is feeling that you are right where others are wrong. If you want to contribute…

Then why even participate? 

Care to elaborate?

Precisely. Certain “liberal” approaches to things these days seem to be far more about winning the culture war or not temporarily hurting someone’s feelings. There are countless areas where parents ask questions of their children. Children are not just little adults — reaching that conclusion is a recent development!…
