Nope - these rules were adopted weeks in advance, people were contacted to verify their information, they had every opportunity to make sure they were eligible, AND they could have shown up to appeal but the vast majority didn't. Of the ones that DID show up to appeal, most were determined eligible.

Tacitly endorsing this type of behavior by refusing to specifically condemn the threatening phone calls, etc, is frankly enough for me to decide I wouldn't want him representing me. This isn't even the first time his campaign has pulled this; when Maddow explicitly asked him about the awful Sanders people 'protesting'…

In the comment you're replying to, she explicitly asks the commenter to email her to talk about the convention - how is that refusing to interview someone that was there?

Lost respect for that asshole months ago. He’s a smug, smarmy git who continues to intentionally fan the flames that are causing this crap.

Like, I know that it is the job of the campaign and particularly campaign manager to act like it's going to win. But at this point Weaver is behaving completely irresponsibly in…

No - sort of like how Sanders and his supporters bitched and moaned about superdelegates from the get go until they realized that getting them to flip is the only way they can win.

Maddow loves reporting on shady shit and getting to the real story, and her report on this aligns with the rest of the media: sanders supporters threw a fit over previously agreed upon rules. No one HAS to paint Sanders supporters in a bad light because at this point a lot of them are doing that themselves. Which…

So I was GOING to say that these confessional things can sometimes be quite interesting and so why shit on them, and that the snarkiness at buzzfeed is...meh.... but then I actually read the stupid buzzfeed listicle and oh my god it absolutely deserves this mockery and everything else.

People think I like pumpkin…

Yeah, it’s not even that I don’t like Sanders politically - I admire his platform for the most part. But it’s making me feel like I’ve lost my mind to see all the people who criticize Clinton for every single solitary thing giving Sanders a pass on all the same stuff. Like, the super predator thing gets brought up all…

I really don’t get the defenses of greek life that pop up. I KINDA get the connections/networking thing but those can be accomplished (probably more effectively) with professional associations. The charity defense though? Fuck that - why do you need to join a club to engage in charity? You can do what…

It feels to me like Bernie has totally gotten swept away with this new found fame and reputation as a pure and saint like crusader for the little guy. I've liked him less and less the more popular he's gotten because, like you said, the self righteousness is too much.

I'm in pretty much the same boat. Was Bernie supporter from day one, but as this whole thing has dragged on and I've ACTUALLY looked at Bernie's history I like him less and less... I still support single payer and all that good stuff, but Bernie himself somehow has a sterling reputation for consistency and purity…

Doesn't sound weird at all. Many police departments are woefully undertrained in how to handle people displaying psychiatric symptoms. Sounds like this was handled completely appropriately, although in large part that appears to be because the man in question was cognizant enough to explain to the officers what was…

I have questions.

Why would they want to make this shirt anyway? Forgetting for a moment that it’s racist af and no one should want to make or wear it... even if that weren’t the case... what possible relevance does it have to their sorority, to spring, to formals, to greek life in general? Why would they bother to…

It’s not satire. Meghan really wants to be this female empowerment, body positive, self love icon and sex symbol but her dancing is terrible and her songs are catchy but mostly medicore at best.

Could happen. Quicksilver appeared in age of ultron AND in fox's x-men franchise.

Well, she COULD be storm. They had quicksilver in age of ultron, despite the same character also appearing in days of future past. Granted he died at the end of age of ultron, but still, there’s hope! Sometimes the studios play nice with each other (see: spiderman appearing in civil war).

I’ve always had a conflicted feeling about interracial relationships in pop culture and this is one of the reasons why. Part of me is like woooo! interracial relationships! this is an okay thing to show and be part of! But a much bigger part of me is like okay so interracial relationships are great and all but it…

I’d think that a criminal case would have the stronger argument for requiring the release of private medical records; there’d be a much more compelling argument. I can't see why a judge would say 'yeah, fuck HIPAA' for a civil case.

The types of people who would fire a rifle for their gender reveal are the types of people who would only do it that way knowing it's a boy.

Same! What does a jezzie have to do to get out of the greys?
