Nah. I’m pretty well-off, but I know it’s partially because I was born with a sound mind in a healthy body to an intact white family in a suburb with good public schools. I’ve also worked my ass off, but it wouldn’t have benefited me as much if you change any of those lucky starting points.

The people that deny luck are the same who deny white privilege. As in: “how dare you question my personal role in my success!” I assume these people go on a tirade and burn down a homeless shelter anytime somebody says “it takes a village...”

I bet I make more money than you, and I know that some of it is because I was born into a family that could pay for my ivy league education.

This is so stupid. You act like having luck isn't hard work. The money to pay for that shaman's incantation didn't appear out of thin air!

Looks at those tiny little hands.

Actually that’s not at all what happened. From snopes:

Her defending an accused child-rapist is a nonissue. She did the job she was supposed to do. Why is this even a thing?

“Defended an accused child rapist, then laughed about his lenient sentence.”

Part of the reason for the backlash against PC culture is that political correctness almost always involves a younger generation telling an older generation that they’ve been doing things wrong their entire life (“God, Dad, you can’t call them Orientals anymore...”), and any time you’re being told by someone decades…

People always talk about how much they want a multi-party system, this would be the best example of how that actually works. Our political parties are not monolithic, they are broad coalitions, though the Democratic party is a looser one. But, anyway, this is how multiparty systems work—your political enemy one day is…

“We’ll start with a broad list ...”

YES, thank you. This is definitely special little snowflakes wanting to have their cake and eat it too. Either disavow parties and, depending on your state, your role in the primary process or fucking register as a Democrat for fuck’s sake. Either way, don’t offensively shout “OMG Voter Suppression!!!1!11!!!” like an…

But I should be allowed to vote when I want, where I want, however many times I want! I'm sick of the establishment with all its rules, specifically designed to prevent me from destroying the establishment! It's a conspiracy!

Plus I have a hard time sympathizing with registered independents in closed primary states. Not wanting to be labeled even though there are literally no consequences or obligations associated with party affiliation feels so ridiculously precious and self indulgent. Registering with a party is even less onerous than…

I’m so glad the NY primary is going to be over so I don’t have to hear idiots who feel like they shouldn’t have to follow the rules whine about “voter suppression”. No a closed primary that only allows party member to choose the candidate for that party is not suppression. You not bothering to look up the rules is not…

This is amazing:

someone once said “i don’t have kids and have no problem with paying more taxes for schools, because i don’t want to live in a nation of idiots”
