I agree. The standard for our behavior is not the extremely low bar set by the Trump campaign and its supporters. Taking this argument to a ridiculous extreme, when the Abu Ghraib photos leaked and we learned that the US was torturing enemy combatants there were people responding that Saddam Hussein tortured people…

I know. Which is even more reason not to give them ANY moral ground whatsoever. Destruction of property is not OK. It’s not okay for terrorists to burn down churches because they don’t agree with you. It’s not okay to burn crosses on the lawns of black people. It’s not OK to torch lawn signs on people’s…

Amen. Leave other people’s signs alone, even if they support a racist demagogue, even if you are in your underwear, you’ve had a couple of schnapps on a cold night, you have a blow torch, and even if it is SUCH an awesome idea. Even if.

It’s basic suppression of freedom of speech. That right to protest stops right before you touch that sign

Yeah, it’s important to lead by example. If you want Trump’s people to behave in a more civilised way, you show them how rational people behave - not like a bunch of first year uni kids on a R.A.G. week bender.

I am in COMPLETE agreement with you. I hate relative morality. If it’s wrong for them to be destructive assholes, it’s wrong for us to be as well.

I loathe Trump as much as the next Jezebel commenter, but I hate this sign stealing/burning stuff.

She actually ran for her state house (did pretty well!), governor, Secretary of the Commonwealth and was elected as a representative of her Town Meeting Board. Contrary to what many on here are saying, Greens do run down-ballot and it’d help a lot if they got 5% and federal funding.

I guess a lot of people feel like it’s self evident that there should be at least one major party that isn’t gung ho about bombing the hell of brown people and staging coups in democratic countries whenever it happens to serve our current interests.

Be a cold day in hell. I will continue voting for Jill Stein, even got some Bernie supports to skip Hillary and go Johnson or Stein. It is an exciting time for third party supporters, been a while since any of them come close to double digits.

This is not correct. Achieving 5% of the vote provides access to Presidential Election Campaign Fund monies in the following cycle. It’s critical people stop voting for Democrats and Republicans and start voting for 3rd parties even if their candidates won’t be “viable” for another several decades.

Youve got to be kidding.

I know man ... can’t lose any value on that corolla

This Victoria’s Secret Angels outtake photo is one way to respond, but I don’t know if it’s quite right.

Wow. “...where only the most victimized and oppressed deserve equality...” Hm. I would argue that until those groups achieve equality, that “equality” is more for some people than others. Which is the antithesis of equality. Check yourself. (and shame on Sam Bee and her husband).

Opinion? This isn’t an issue of opinion. Samatha Bee is trying to keep her school segregated. You are ok with that. I’m not.

No. In my world we stop acting like equlaity in the workplace is a proxy for health care, poverty, and minimum wage. Or am I supposed to have forgotten that HRC would not support the $15 minimum wage until Bernie pressured her into it,a nd worked actively to surpress the minimum wage in Haiti for the benefit of her…

Obama himself has never made it about race. He never ran on “equality for blacks” the way HRC emphisizes the wage gap and reproductive rights. In fact, Obama can be rightly criticized for distancing himself form the black community, saying “I’m not the president of black America.” It was Obama’s opponents that brought…

If Obama’s immigration history is what you call “pressure working” enjoy four more years of record deportation levels. But you’ll call it a victory “because it could’ve been worse.”

And we MUST continue to pressure the Obama and Clinton administrations continuously so that they don’t just keep doing this in silence.
