Quite frankly, the internet has been nothing but a blessing for hate groups and for bigots. Yes, overall the internet has had a democratizing effect and I do think it has led to people in general becoming more liberal. But it has also led to people being reinforced in their crazy ideas in a way that was literally…

Once again confirming that I, a person whose ancestors were brought to U.S. shores 200+ years ago—long before the immigrant ancestors of many a white person—am still not a “Real American” with the rights of full citizenship. Thanks, Joe Walsh, for reminding me.

I am an American, and I never really “got” the “greatest country on Earth” marketing either.

Ahahahahahaha. Of course.

Good for Gretchen for coming forward and empowering all these other women to speak up. I hope they bury him in lawsuits.

And if you were wondering, the less-than-minute-long video accompanying said policy stance is even less informative than its summary.

Of course he can’t be anti-Semitic. I mean, just look at his official policy position on Israel:

In general? Sure. But when actively fighting systemic gender bias that makes society more likely to see men as more competent/qualified than women even when they are demonstrably not? Not so much.

The entire piece by the Times is worth a read, it’s a great look at how she would approach her first 100 days and also just a reasonable take on her in general.

And Cecil Richards!

I agree. Really, I’m tired of all the misogynist bashing of my candidate (and, consequently, of me as a supporter), followed by whines of “You neeeeed to REACH OUT to us!” Followed, of course, by more bashing (or, more subtly, pinching without leaving marks).

Yay! Also, she is on my list of people I would like to have a drink with.

That is incredibly disappointing, and yet not surprising. I wish they could *hear* themselves. It’s been said so often, but it must be incredibly easy to blithely cede the country to Trump when you’re not a minority, a woman or a muslim. Because what the fuck do you care, right? Won’t affect you at all.

She got close to power, and, boom!, she’s no longer the right woman!

It was impressive how fast Elizabeth Warren went from “their one woman friend” to a total traitor. Now they’ve glommed onto Jill Stein to prove they aren’t sexist.

“But if you give her your vote now, you’re never going to be able to negotiate with her neoliberal side of the party, and you won’t be able to extract concessions to move the country left. Which is why, if you let Trump win this time, the Democrats are going to woo you and concede stuff to you in order to gain your…

Cabinets full of women > binders full of women.

They caused a head injury to a deaf, partially blind teenager with a brainstem tumor. GOOD JOB, ASSHOLES.

“Passengers can call ahead of time to learn more about the screening process for their particular needs or medical situation.”

This is kind of a corollary to the Bechdel test . . . if this movie is ultimately about a relationship between a man/men and a woman (be it as a wife, fiancee, daughter, etc), is the woman a protagonist or is she a supporting character in the men’s story?
