Yes I know, I’ve never missed an election. That’s an awful way to try to get represented. because you no longer influence who is a candidate. The time to do that is between election cycles

Neither is using election day to make that point. Presidential electionso only happen every four years, there is time then to make the change you want, on election day you can’t be idealistic

I never said you owe the party. You owe it to any women you care about to protect their rights. You owe it to anyone LGBT that you care about to protect their rights. And so on with Muslims, and really any group whose rights require protection, because republicans are running on going after them

But in the American system there are only two people with a chance, so not really

So of us care about more than just our own rights though. There’s no question who is better for women’s rights, LGBT rights, worker rights, and civil rights between Clinton and a republican. The Republicans are actively attacking their rights, and even if you don’t think Clinton is liberal enough, you can’t act like…

Because if one option is not good but the other is awful, that isn’t the rhetoric of fear, it’s self preservation. You are speaking from such a place of privelage, if you worry about your rights disappearing you don’t get to be absolutist

And that is their point. For most minority, as well as other, groups in this country it will change FAR worse under Trump than Clinton. Acting like you get to always be in love with your candidate shows naivete or inexperience

Thank you so much for the very kind very words, It’s funny because I’m not normally one to put a lot out there online, but given your situation I just wanted to extend myself and offer some support. I’m glad to hear he’s alone in his intolerance, although if he’s bullying his wife into falling in line that’s awful. I…

Thank you for the support, and right back at you. I am sorry your dad has such a bigoted attitude, ignorance can run deep. Two things from me to you: First: you have a great attitude, your dad is absolutely the one missing out. How is other family reacting? I hope no one is siding with him. In my case, my daughter’s…

It would be genuinely awful to believe that, I agree, and religion can screw people up that way. My college roommate’s mom told me with such sincerity “my mother and I are such wonderful people, she truly hates the thought of us burning in hell.” But I never know how much is that and how much is just not wanting her…

Yeah it’s quite a mystery why so many of us have cynical outlooks and dark senses of humor; the 80's were somehow both really dark and really neon

It was only hinted? It’s been so long, I thought I remembered that it was clear that it was due to electroshock therapy. It was the original Suckerpunch!

Thanks for that, I couldn’t imagine I was alone, and terrified is exactly the word, but it’s nice to know for sure there are others out there. That was a messed up movie to aim at kids. They needed to leave all dark children’s movies to Jim Henson

What a day, I need a drink. Anyway, we’ve been married a decade this year. The religion thing is hard because they teach members it’s their job to bring lost sheep back to the flock. She just refuses to acknowledge that my daughter actually cares about being Jewish, which hurt my daughter On her Bat Mitzvah. I don’t…

So I’m not alone? Awesome. My mom loves Wizard of Oz and was so excited to take me to see it, and then the horrors began. We had heard it was a little dark, but I loved Dark Crystal so I thought I knew what I was in for. I was wrong.

You were already petrified of aliens beforehand? That was a bad idea then, did they think since it was a comedy it would help get you over it? How scared are you, like can you handle wacky alien material or still no? I think a lot of us had movies that terrified us that maybe shouldn’t but because of how young we were…

Thanks, I always appreciate a good mazel tov. The dislike comes from the fact I’m not a member of her church and that she thinks I forced her daughter to convert (like it was a shotgun conversion, I just want to tell her it’s not the easiest thing to convert to Judaism, it takes real showing of commitment). She used…

I’m with you. I’m spending a day with a mother in law who 60% hates me (it’s down from 100%, yay incremental progress!) and was hoping for a bitchy article that expressed the thoughts I’m forced to internalize.

Such a fun movie

Rock hard jokes are the low hanging fruit on that one
