.... that is insane. Like... I always wonder what kind of fucked up adolescence or childhood people like this had that led them to such weird positions on things. Like the people who think it’s a scientific fact that you’re gay if you talk about your feelings.

If a guy proffered that opinion, specifically that reasoning, to me, I would make so much fun of him. That’s like a 13 year old boy’s understanding of homosexuality and how to avoid being perceived as gay.

Sounds super homophobic to me.

On a scale of 1-10, where is she?

Honestly, to me it sounded like yes, he was frustrated at Secretary of State Clinton for having an unsecured personal server at her residence when she obviously should have known better (or her people she employed should have known better, either/or). However, he was also frustrated at the system itself - the…

No they did not. Yes they used private emails but they did not have a private server in their private homes.

Where did i say she would be more conservative than this administration. I have been speaking out about Obama for years, she is going to be exactly the same as Obama. I am responding to the point that the person made about how when she will get into office she will suddenly start supporting the protesters. Obama did…

It empty bullshit said to look halfway ok to all sides. Every time this sort of thing happens, be it BLM or the ND protests,  politicians urge all parties to be calm, peaceful, and respectful. The problem is that saying this unfairly equates the peaceful demonstrations of protesters with the unjust, brutal offenses…

She didn’t tell anyone to step back though? The fact that she mentioned letting workers do their work implies that they should be allowed to continue building the pipeline and destroying tribal lands

i disagree that there is no criticism of obama from the left. and in fact i think that frustrations with his term in office are being projected onto clinton

“The Obama Administration has repeatedly asked Energy Transfer Partners, the company building the pipeline, to voluntarily halt construction while the Army Corps of Engineers completes a review of the building process so far and how it was approved. Energy Transfer Partners has ignored requests from the Justice…

Why would they? It’s clear that the state police are acting on behalf of the energy corporation, so from their perspective, it’s their job to commit violence against the Native water protectors. No one in a position of authority has told them to stop.

Okay, but one side is praying, and the other side has untrained “security” with dogs, they have tanks and rubber bullets and guns, and they’re the ones committing violence and actively destroying the sacred sites. No consequences. What now?

In order for the workers to do their jobs, they have to remove the protesters. In order to remove the protesters, you have to disrespect their right to protest.

Wow, Jezebel is daring to criticize Hillary after months of calling her left-wing critics spoiled, misogynistic or crazy? Clinton has always been an odious, neoliberal sack of shit and she always will be.

1) she has a position on climate change. debates do not represent policy effectively in any way because they are set-up like a reality show reunion episode for ratings lets all just get that through our heads now

Exactly. She’s trying to weasel out of giving an opinion until she sees which way the wind is blowing.

the Clinton campaign may have to take an actual stance one of these days.

the focus groups are still ongoing. the campaign doesn’t know her [public] opinion yet

This exemplifies my problem with Clinton. I don’t think the pipeline should be built, but if Clinton said “I think the project should go forward and this is why,” it would at least be an opinion. This is just bullshit. If she’s going to be president in two months, she should be willing to take a stand on issues like…
