And this is why the solution isn’t to run moderate/centrist candidates whose platform involves appeasing Republicans who aren’t going to switch teams anyway. Instead, run the people who are going to turn out the Democratic base and attract some independents, and in most places that are contested, that alone would…

Please stop perpetuating these misconceptions. Trump voters may be less educated but they are also wealthier. They are not forgotten in the slightest.

Trump’s supporters are mostly older, male, white, less educated but wealthier, and Christian. That demographic is shrinking. In time this too shall pass.

Let’s never forget that the opening would not have been on the court in the first place had it not been for the completely dishonest tactics of a Republican led Congress, and voters elected all those people too. Every one of them matters.

Pretty sure they’re not selling Oregon to Canada after the last weekend. But perhaps to China, Russia, or Saudi Arabia?

Fuck you for saying things like this when you literally know nothing, and know that you know nothing. Gross. Dishonest.

The People Mag site... good that this has helped shape the narrative about one personal tragedy and a nationwide epidemic that continues, silently.

Why was she mentioned in this article at all? Seriously.

I agree with you times a thousand and thankfully someone not in the permagray on Jezebel has said so. I really hope the author of this piece sees your comment. It is absolutely pathological to tie someone’s suicide to your personal distaste for a particular branch of feminism. It’s bad enough to “explain” why it…

Right, uh, noneeii is one of those horrible people, or a horrible troll, either way. A woman with career and weight struggles starts abusing alcohol and it’s a great relief to friends when she finally kills herself, because their social calendar is freer and lighter? You have got to be kidding me.

This is THE most grotesque thing I have read on this page yet, which is saying something. You’re delighting in the suicide of person who was having career problems, weight gain, and started drinking? Because her friend was thereby freed up in her social life? This has to be a trolling comment, please let it be so…

It’s a lot more helpful than people speculating about things they don’t know about, as if anyone with basic human decency would do that in the aftermath of suicide.

Where are you getting this? TMZ? Really?

Did you read the suicide note? Because I don’t think you did and therefore you are simply talking out your ass here while knowing nothing. How is that ok?

That remark did not question anyone’s grief or “take up the mantle of jurist”. It makes the very important point that this article should not be speculating on Spade’s psychological state and motives, based on unverified testimony from a questionable source. That is precisely how not to report on someone’s suicide.

This article is a case study in how not to report on a suicide. At the very end at least we get the helpline number. Before that we get a speculative narrative spun from unverified testimony from a poor source, and somehow it’s Lean-In Feminism’s fault too. I’m sorry to be harsh but this is a fair judgment and I hope…

Having a “personal brand” is a special kind of bullshit yet it is ubiquitous. People will unironically discuss absolutely everything in terms of the need for branding. It’s horrid.

You made a decision I support, and you’re right that some people share what I would consider “too much” about their kids online in public. However, I think you’re wrong to assume that ALL sharing about kids on social media is wrong or motivated by bad values. Good for you that you chose not to do it; now stop rudely…

An example of what happens when you don’t listen to people who report misconduct: http://fox2now.com/2017/10/12/missouri-trooper-accused-of-sex-crimes-was-previously-sued/

Au contraire, I’m thinking not enough people have seen that.
