I’m pretty sure a “little” case of voter fraud and disenfranchisement in Jeb Bush’s Florida lost Al Gore that election. Interesting how the narrative has changed such that we blame 2.5% of the population for what was clearly a massive failure of democracy on the state and federal levels.

For one, your comment is incredibly patronizing and a huge reason why Bernie lacks enthusiasm amongst the “social justice left,” if you will, is precisely because of bullshit like that.

Loot and enemies do respawn (because there’s no level cap), though I think when depends on the type of location.

Ya know, I think you’re right. I like Quiltbag+, personally.

Two Q’s, two I’s, two A’s. That’s how I’ve remembered it, anyway :)

Caitlyn Jenner is an exception to an exception. She’s rich as fuck and was already well-known before she transitioned. Not fair to use her actions as fodder against an entire group of people.

I didn’t realize you’d be personally offended by me referring to TERFs as full of shit. If you’d like to expound about why lesbians in particular should be so put off by having transpeople in women’s spaces, I’m all ears.

That...warrants no further comment.

TERFs are full of shit. These lesbians are “getting fed up” because they are transphobic. If you’re not familiar with the TERF blogosphere, it’s mindboggingly horrible how they speak about transpeople. Same exact arguments a conservative would use, but couched in quasi-progressive language it becomes that much more…

You must’ve missed the fact that the LGBs are separating themselves from Ts, not vice-versa.

I don’t think Bernie is articulate enough about foreign policy to really drive that point home, but I hope he can connect the dots for the public.

The woman’s name and phone number were visible in his original post, and I think that’s why they made him take it down.

Looking at how her supporters are reacting to this incident, and how Bernie’s supporters reacted when he was similarly protested, what sticks out to me is the insistence on defending the candidates, as if the worst thing to happen here was Your Candidate’s Honor being tarnished. No, what’s important here is racial…

From all appearances, it is helpful. While it may ruffle feathers, this form of protest works.

Here’s BLM’s website, which gives an overview of which candidates have officially supported what so far.

Black Lives Matter has proposed specific policies, and after meeting with the candidates privately in August and September, were expecting positions to be laid out by each campaign. Hillary’s is the only one that has yet to make anything concrete, hence this protest.

The idea behind these protests is to target those most likely to actually listen, which is why they aren’t really going after lost cause Republicans.

Haha, sadly it’s not just Republicans making comments like that. Sanders supporters had the exact same sense of bewilderment and entitlement after BLM protested him. It’s interesting to see the same types of responses in these comments, and I take it as a sign that Hillary’s supporters are unaware of just how badly…

They actually do have specific policy proposed, hence the private meetings with the candidates to determine which elements of the platform they’d agree to. She hasn’t agreed to any part of it yet, which is why they’ve protested.

“You can get as many white people to pay lip service to ending racism as you can fit in Yankee stadium, but that won’t change things. I don’t believe in changing hearts; I believe in changing laws, systems, and allocations of resources.”
