When I read that article I thought, “it must be nice to have so much privilege to be able to say you want to watch the world burn for the lulz”

100% yes. I absolutely do not understand the subset of people who feel too morally superior to participate in this election, yet don’t seem to feel a moral obligation to help protect their fellow citizens from a racist, bloated sex offender. So only folks voting in a swing state have to get their asses out of bed…

This was a very good hair style for her I must say.

It’s amazing how many people seem to think that they, specifically, are noteworthy for having misgivings about both candidates in a presidential election. As if most people haven’t felt that way in most elections for all of time. Especially since most people in this country, prior to the past 8 years or so, haven’t…

Can self-important Americans who don’t care to exercise their right to vote (insert verbose whinging reason) relinquish it to a Canadian?Cause we are sitting up here biting our fucking nails off, unable to do a thing and knowing that God forbid, it gets in, the fallout will affect us (and everyone else too). Please? …

As I’ve said in the Deadspin/Concourse comments several times at this point: if you truly have nothing to lose in this election, congratulations on your extreme privilege. The rest of us will vote based on what’s at stake for us. (that’s targeted toward the bs in that post, not you, to clarify)

My dad moved here in the 70s, leaving behind a corrupt South American government in an intense drug war. When he left this comment on my voting picture (holding my two year old son), I had to go to the bathroom and compose myself. We are lucky to have this tool called voting. “I came here at seventeen with a dream…

I voted for Clinton the Working Families ticket. Because, as this viral twete puts it,

An older woman walking out of her apartment building admonished those heckling the Trump family: “Don’t boo—vote.” A younger woman replied: “What do you think we’re standing in line for?”

Alex Pareene’s self-important explanation for why he may or may not deem voting in a presidential election worthy of his time was the single worst thing I have read this election season.

I witnessed someone fall on the tracks a few years ago going to work one morning. To the credit of my fellow neighbors, we all immediately raced to help her and got this poor woman out. She was shaken up but fine.

Obviously if the train is coming you won’t have time, but if you are ever pushed or fall in while conscious, run as fast as you can to the far end of the platform. Gives the conductor more time to slow down and there’s a ladder you can actually climb up.

That makes me feel better about neurotically avoiding sidewalk grates when I visit NYC.

Meh youre more likely to fall through a sidewalk grate than be anywhere near a terror attack or fall into the tracks.

I’m a lawyer in NY and I do a lot of prisoners rights cases/civil rights abuse cases, so a large chunk of my cases are Rikers cases. The place is a cesspool and some of the abuses are absolutely mindblowing (although to be fair you still get a decent amount of cases like “when I tried to stab the guard he maced me…

Here’s the deal: the big reason De Blasio does not want to close Rikers is because the very likely result would be the dispersal of the population into other facilities throughout the five boroughs.

Why would someone want to live in “affordable housing” on Riker’s Island? What’s the commute to Manhattan like? Two plus hours? The NYC Zoning Commission realizes that humans need schools, fire, police, supermarkets and the like, too, right? This applies to Hudson Yards, Williamsburg/Greenpoint, Long Island City,…

I was just pointing this out to people who want to wear political t-shirts to their polling places, which is illegal in many states. Don’t give them any excuse to discount a single vote.

There’s nothing to indicate that these were Clinton’s emails.
