I’ve got a better question: why the fuck is extensive experience viewed as a pejorative when it comes to politics?

We have term limits. They’re called elections.

My point was that neither of them supported or normalized bigotry. So I’m not saying we shouldn’t call bigotry bigotry. What I’m saying is that we shouldn’t exaggerate things, making fake controversies out of little things. Take the “binders of women” comment that Romney made. It was a stupid thing he offhandedly…

“What makes Romney any different from the rest of them, at this point?”

He’s a sell-out by having dinner with Trump? You have no idea what they talked about. By your logic, there shouldn’t be any rational, competent people in the Trump White House, because those people would find him unfit and therefore obligated to resist him. You’re essentially saying that Trump, Bannon, Giuliani and…

Love it when wealthy insulated people who can run away talk about “the revolution.” Seriously, fuck this woman. I don’t think she had an actual impact on the election, she’s not relevant enough to swing more than maybe a dozen voters, but I am disgusted by her glib attitude.

Are we sure that wasn’t Parker Posey getting in character for her next Christopher Guest mockumentary?

You want to swing to the left. On what issue? More moderate and more progressive elements will always exist in the Democratic party. What is more, both sides should exist in the Democratic party. I don’t see the value in a tug-of-war for the sake of argument. Think of the basic issues: immigration, women’s rights,…

The problem is that there were a multitude of issues this election. Many bleeding-hearts on the far Left were heartbroken that Bernie didn’t win, and never forgave the DNC/Hillary for it (cutting off their proverbial nose to spite their face). You’ve got the fact that the Right has been working to portray both…

The “Left” doesn’t need to go anywhere. It remains correct on the issues, but for a lot of reasons, many not her fault, but some were, Hillary was not the messenger for this election.

Boy, you sure showed those minorities how much you really care about them by excercising your privilege to opt out of this election.

Please don’t leave out how Bernie supporters treated anyone who didn’t share their line of thinking. Up until the DNC nomination, I was called a cunt and a shill, I was told I had no idea how politics work, even though I have been following it since Bill Clinton first ran, and I have a bachelors in History (so I’m not…

He always seemed nice. Which made it a real fucking shame he handed the country off to literal Emperor Palpatine, Dick Cheney.

That’s a nice thing he’s doing. He’s a better guy now that he’s retired.

I have internalized the Gawker ethos (snark) and state of mind (bleached asshole).

All I know is that the right has been trying to discredit her since I was a child with rumors and attacks about her feminity. As if there is a specific way to be a woman. They blamed Bill’s affairs on her because they think she is just married for the power or that she’s frigid or that she’s too busy with her career…

Yeah but the accusers are bankrolled by the extreme right. I know, that sounds victim Blamey but I’m not eloquent enough to be accurate about my feelings on this subject.

Are you me? Because this is EXACTLY how I feel. Sanders appealed to me early on too, until it started to become clear that he doesn't have a great handle on how he's going to enact all these changes he's proposing, and his supporters are so ridiculously ill-informed. If I see another half-baked Sanders meme on my FB…

The lack of organizing has been the death of the Sanders campaign. They put all their money into huge rallies, TV ads, and internet presence. They trained no one. His supporters do not understand the process, so they’re all ready to believe whatever ridiculous conspiracy theory or imaginary delegate math scenarios…
