It took a lot of blood and suffering to get the 40-hour work week, overtime protection, paid leave, and the EEOC to begin with. But now these things are normalized.

IMHO, what it would take for the things I listed are: a focus on electing Democratic politicians to state and national office and Democratic voters…

I think it’s possible with the political will and employee advocacy. Restore government funding for the EEOC and other oversight agencies. Enforce anti-trust legislation. Promote policies that support employee associations, wage transparency, and knowledge about employee rights.

We sleep in tune with each other. If I roll over, my boyfriend follows me and spoons me. If he rolls back on his back, I might not notice, and even in his sleep he will press his leg against the back of mine and I’ll roll over, awake or not, and sleep with my head on his chest. Once in a while, he rolls away, and I…

Right there with you. Democracy doesn’t mean just two parties, and I don’t give a shit if that’s the status quo of our country—Look at where it has gotten us! Yes, keep playing into it, because surely things will change if you just keeping devouring the garbage they serve you. I’m sure as shit not a Republican; hell,…

The lesser of two evils is still evil. I had four choices on my ballet, I chose the one I wanted for President. Denying me two of those choices does not improve your candidate. Clinton was a terrible choice, be an adult and take responsibility for that instead of blaming everybody else.

I voted for Johnson and there is no way on earth I would have voted for either of them. The Dems are not taking the right lessons from this. They need to take a look in the mirror.

Then maybe, just maybe, she should have done a better job of campaigning.

Blaming Johnson for the loss is like a football team blaming there loss on a ref’s bad call while ignoring dozens of missed opportunities they had during the game.

You really going to demonize me because I liked neither Trump or Clinton and voted for the Libertarian ticket with the hope of expanding a two party system to add more alternatives? I understand you are demoralized with the results, but these sorts of tantrums and talking in absolutes that condemn people with…

Exactly. The mainstream media (i feel like i need a tinfoil hat saying that, but it’s becoming more and more apparent), including the Jez family, just tells you that Johnson helped seal a victory for Trump, hoping we’d all just believe it.

He definitely affected the race in a few key states. Clinton probably would have won Pennsylvania without him on the ballot and same with Florida. And there’s talk that Trump might have won Minnesota if Johnson wasn’t on the ballot.

Everyone I know who voted Johnson voted Republican down ticket. That’s just 3 people and completely anecdotal, but if you really forced Johnson voters to pick Trump or Clinton, I’m not sure it would’ve swung the election in her favor anyway.

I think he did. If anything Johnson most likely helped make this closer for Hillary than it otherwise would’ve been. Trump won whether Gary Johnson existed or not.

I guess I don’t understand his platform that well, but I thought he took votes more from the Repubs than from Dems?

That is a great question. Thank you for asking.

I live in Cambodia, and we have a term for this: Accidental Sex Tourist.

Imagine that! A write-up on Jezebel that turns a nice and supportive gesture by Taylor Swift into a passive aggressive swipe at the way she decided to deliver said gesture.

Demi is being an asshole. Straight up. Whatever the ins and outs of announcing giving the money (though it seems Kesha’s mother was on that), Taylor did something substantive. Support is fantastic and I’ve no doubt Kesha appreciates all that she’s received but hell if a fat bill hanging over your head doesn’t make an…

I can’t believe that I’m supporting a Taylor Swift, feminist move but I am and I’m impressed. This is actually the first instance of her understanding what basic feminism is.
