Kids need to learn a lot of things eventually - like what sex is, but if a 6 year old ask, you don’t show them porn. There are age appropriate ways to answering challenging questions from children. Traumatizing children as means to and end is CHILD abuse. Let me guess, something along the lines of, “every rapist,…

Jessica Simpson is saying that she believes she is doing good with her book, trying to help others who might be in similar situations get out of them, etc. She equates people changing the subject to her wearing of animals or whatever as distractions from that cause which could be detrimental to her mission. As a…

I think we should just have them all on the same day. And abolish caucuses because they’re an idiotic anachronism that only worked when we had 1/100th of the population and most of them were farmers that were all related to one another. I fuckin hate folksy bullshit.

Of course he was. Deep down, all bullies are cowards.

She certainly can’t fix all of it. She should try harder to fix it in her own back yard. Especially for people working to get her elected.

It is, but even when we’re comparing apples to apples, this year’s Iowa caucus turnout is troubling. The current turnout estimate is 170,000, around the same as 2016. That’s 70k fewer people than in 2008, despite the fact that the Iowa Democratic party made more of an effort to make caucusing more accessible this year.

It’s a lot harder to turn out for a caucus than a primary.

Everyone is sick of a government that does nothing but sling pot shots and lies and propaganda and get nothing done. And so a lot of people are just not caring anymore, don’t bother to get involved, or even try to inform themselves about the truth. which is such a privileged thing, frankly. I also think that’s by…

Thank you for this summation of the events. I’ve never been a Bernie Bro, but it’s really hard to look at these events coupled with the email dump from 2016 that showed the DNC had their thumb on the scale for Clinton, and NOT feel like the DNC is going out of it’s way to try to kneecap the Sanders campaign. And the…

Until elections are publicly financed, I think it’d be a bad idea to make California the first primary state. Its population size is a hindrance, not a selling point. It’s an expensive and difficult state to campaign in unless you’re already a well known quantity with mad fundraising skills, and making it first would…

Yeah, if you want to simultaneously get a very accurate understanding of how the 2008 primaries went down, and just how much subtle misogyny was flung at Clinton while she, by her own words, threw the “kitchen sink” at Obama, this is the video to watch:

Here massive incompetence is materially indistinguishable from “conspiracy”; they’ve both had the same impact. One thing is for sure, though — fuck that little rat Buttigieg. His current strategy relies on lessening weighting of the overwhelmingly nonwhite satellite caucuses to preserve his SDE lead. What a slimeball.

It wasn’t planned out beforehand to rig it for Buttigieg, but the DNC DID plan for chaos, and the established power structure can take advantage of the chaos. They forced Tom Perez in as chair over Keith Ellison at the last minute, while telling us there’s no difference anyway. They struck down measures for election…

Honestly, even if Iowa was a perfect match for the country demographically and their caucuses weren’t a system that seemed tailor made to discourage voter participation, they still shouldn’t be given the privilege of permanent First. No single state should have that right. That Iowans (and folks from New Hampshire!)…

Bernie declares victory because he had more votes and the satellite sites were going to him. He organized people specifically for those sites. His team bussed them there and made sure they were able to get there when all of the other teams focused on the ‘bigger’ wins. He won the popular vote handily but with those…

For a variety of reasons, I do not think what is happening in Iowa is not a conspiracy, and a vocal segment of Sanders supporters are uniquely prone to believing absurd conspiracy theories. BUT, the events of the past few days are tailor made for conspiracy, and it’s easy to see how Sanders supporters see one here.

Uppities unwelcome...what, you thought something actually changed?

The Democratic Party just can’t help but cannibalize itself.  Did they learn nothing?  “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Democrat”  Learn it, love it, live it.

It’s mind-numbing and triggering to see Rashida Tlaib getting steamrolled by white women like this. The hypocrisy is breath-taking.

No Republicans already primary. Getting rid of democratic caucuses in favor of our mail in primary are an overwhelmingly good thing.
