Gordy may look like the pudgy, dorky sort, but get him in nothing but his ankle high black mailman socks and he a freak.

We must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward

Dang right! The other day my wife stopped at the store and wasn’t paying attention to the “cheese” for school lunches. So I am making breakfast the next morning and go to melt “cheese” into the eggs, I place a slice onto the eggs. Doesn’t melt. A minute goes by, it isn’t melting. Now the eggs are near done- it’s…

In that case I’ve unknowingly been a member for years

Yes, Steinem’s comment was insulting ans insulting, as is your statemen that Clinton is bringing up “her vag” all the time. Give us one example, not about gender, about her “vag.” People’s points are this reduces her to body parts, and way to do exactly that in your response

That’s why I feel there is a real sexist undertone to a lot of his supporters. I have seen women told what they are supposed to think by men for a long time in exactly the way you described. “You have great ideas, that’s why what you really think is ___.” Although I’ve had several Sanders fans say that to me too, so…

So when Sanders makes “tough choices” it genuinely applies, but when Clinton does it she has “no scruples.” That is pretty fair of you. Politics has always been about compromise and you rarely get to vote for something perfect, especially if it’s large in scope or scale. This is why it’s getting so hard for federal…

Yeah, the only reason I don’t take it personally is I see some really good commenters out here in the ether with me; you for example

Starred for being a fellow political science major. My wife messes with me by introducing me as a scientist. I am too a scientist...kinda...I use numbers and charts sometimes

Hasn’t Jez gone through a lot of staff changes? I don’t know if that is part of the change, I agree it is alarming if the kind of comment NonServiam made, on-point and inoffensive (I’d add accurate, just my opinion), gets you punished in what seems like an open forum, where I see insulting and offensive comments…

Interesting, so you were banned (how does that work, you go to log in and there is just a gif of a dancing middle-finger?) for a benign comment and someone with a clever Latin name makes a comment that is on-point and funny and gets the same thing. Is this not the egalitarian paradise I was led to believe?

Just so you know, and obviously this can change, but according to the newest polling that critiquing has led to Clinton leading Sanders with Black voters under 30 nationally, 64% to 25%

And did you see the excellent response where that argument falls apart?

I’ve only been around these here parts for a few months now, so these stories are so interesting to me. I didn’t know about bannings and funny people getting punished for being funny, you were banned also? For what? Or will telling me get you banned? I don’t want to be the friend who pressures you into getting in…

They know they have the cruelest of powers, the ability to make us go back to work, and they just love it. You’re great, the message that you posted was funny, and the best revenge is (to keep) being awesome

I like it too, and I think part of it is it makes her seem more real, more authentic. I don’t mean it as a knock because polished Hillary is really good, but more earnest Hillary is great, and I think is better at connecting with people. Remember in the ‘08 election when she had an emotional moment, it really helped…

Thanks, coming from someone whose posts I enjoy I appreciate that. The only reason I don’t take it personally is I’ve noticed a lot of really good commenters are still out here in the ether with me. Let us in, we won’t mess up the place...too badly

When have you heard Sanders run on his Judaism? I WISH he was more religious, his candidacy would mean something more to me emotionally (not saying it’d make me a supporter, just that it would mean more) if he did. He barely ever discusses faith; I may think his political beliefs are linked to his background but he…

And maybe a way for some of us to emerge from the gray and into the light would be nice
