Yes. Yes to all of this. Malcolm Gladwell has a great episode of Revisionist History about proof. It’s about CTE but is totally applicable here. Needing “proof” is such a cop out sometimes for just not wanting to change. We’re being confronted with these images daily (all day) now and I still hear the argument of…

I’m REALLY getting tired of the tone of Dirt Bag being shitty to people who don’t deserve it...

I am really struggling with what is going on with these Jezebel writers lately. They are just shitting on people for ridiculous reasons, blatantly missing the point, and from the comments it’s more than obvious that they are entirely out of touch with their audience. The fact that they’ve *more than once* mocked…

“You tell me” is pretty much the closest thing to /s in the spoken word. 

adding that perhaps conservatives might harness “the courage of our convictions and speak up.”

Yep! My town has had three black mayors back to back and currently a majority black city council and the last police chief was black. Honestly looking over the people running the city, it is largely black. Not sure we are much better off because of it, but it has probably kept race issues to a minimum.

Agree. It matters so much. Even in my own little pocket of St. Louis we now have two black city council members and I can’t ever recall having that in my lifetime in this county. Also, a proposition passed that will help remove our racist city attorney from his post so it was a very good night for voting. 

Well, there is an obvious downside: there’s only so much you can do about the Iowa 4th District, because it’s rural, white and has little in the way of college education. Put that together, and you’ve got yourself a Trump District Cocktail. As much as I would like non-college educated rural whites to see their…

A small dab of balm on the 3rd degree burn that is 2020.

Stick around. There’s still time for comeback. It’s a longshot, I grant you. What can I say? I’m a sucker for a Cinderella story.

Yea I was super confused when I read that snark too. I’m like, are you snarking on...voting? Because that’s a super important thing to do to enact change.

Jezebel has become everything it used to be against.

It is, and they’re about to lose a lot of us for good. Still silent on the idiocy coming out of Deadspin’s reanimated corpse, too.

Yes, to them it’s better to just throw money at problems.

Yep, it’s the second day in a row I was like wtf is going on here, what’s up with these articles?! 

Yes voting. For President but also for commissioners and judges and sheriffs and magistrates.

Yeah but voting requires standing affirmatively for something instead of vaguely against everything.

I am so thankful I didn’t got to junior high until the 80s.

Yep. Ours were at least blue. 

People being against the riots is bullshit though. I’m not “for” property damage, but when I see a video of a police vehicle ram through a non-violent crowd behind a barricade in NYC I understand why they set shit of fire. If you’re white or rich and especially both, just support and amplify the voices of the people…
