Nothing makes me happier that the abject misery on his face. I’ll take it even though I know the misery he feels is only for himself.

I know very few liberals who don’t think that way. Even the socialist meme sharing working class obsessed white dudes only go so far, especially since many of the people we’re talking about in the coal mining community aren’t that fond of liberals.

Yep. If only they’d stuck with James Carville’s ridiculously simple formula that got Bill elected:

Really??? Literally NOBODY is making this argument? Because I’ve seen it all over the online haunts I frequent, and someone once said almost literally those exact words to me IRL (a white feminist over the age of 60). In this very book it’s revealed that it was even floated as a potential campaign slogan.

You’re right that The Simpsons has long called out the idiocy of the American electorate. Never forget it.

I don’t think we should focus on Hillary, but losing basically every part of government to the opposition does warrant self-criticism, unless you just want to write off the general populace as garbage.

I felt my message was very clear: I say, we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

Eh, Fuck the Mets.

That never mattered for people who hated the political establishment telling them: hey, it’s us or The End. People who hated what they saw as inevitable are who swung it. Racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia and untenable greed and hatred were always going to vote right. The left shouldn’t have had to hold their…

Ah yes, the Bernie bros, twice as scary as the Obama boys.

The rest of the world was just as shocked as the American establishment press at Trumps election. To say a third person perspective is less flawed than a first-hand partisan one misses the point: we’re all biased, either by choice or by our circumstances, and no one in Europe or anywhere else had their fingers on the…

I AM an American, and I say the confidence of your opinion is about as useful as the confidence Democrats had that Trump was going to lose.

I reached out to Moskowitz, whose work has captivated me for years, to ask if the University of Toronto’s biological findings necessarily opposed that of his social-based research or if they could operate in conversation.

If you were King of Philadelphia, I’d recommend cementing your alliance with the King of Jeans by arranging to have him wed your daughter.

Whenever I drive/am driven/ride the train past the art museum, I like to imagine it’s actually the Palace of the King of Philadelphia. Furthermore, when I’m at the museum, I pretend that I am said king, roaming my spacious halls and inspecting my art collection, enjoying the echo of my footsteps.

I don’t disagree that it’s arbitrary, but I’d argue it’s necessarily so. You can’t have a different set of legal standards for every individual, so we need to draw a line somewhere. The exact location of that line is less important than a social contract to respect it, in my opinion.

It kind of glamorizes a suicide as revenge type of element that I really hated. Her leaving the tapes incriminating people in her own death over such minor grievances as: throwing away her note, was wild to me. I think the element of actual sexual assault and harassment should have been the focus. The show leaves it…

I allowed one of my former student teachers to read the book with a class of my 9th grade students and deeply regret it. It’s reprehensible tragedy porn, with no legitimate conversation/awareness of mental health, and it uses the suicide of the main character as a titillating aspect of her manic pixie dead dream girl…

Well, we don’t want you. And really, we probably never had you.

Oh, I agree totally! But you sign up for a reality show like Survivor, you have already pretty much agreed to be outed. Survivor’s agenda is not promoting LGBQT rights and understanding: Survivor is entertainment geared to get ratings and make money. It is pathetically naive or narcissistic to think otherwise -…
