If they can’t trace the descendants of these specific individuals, then at least set up dedicated scholarships for people who can trace their ancestry to slavery. Full ride plus room, board and books, for as long as you want to go there, in all of the University’s schools. If they can trace the descendants, then how…

I’m an alum, and this story has been circulating like mad among my peers - consensus seems to be that a formal apology and then some tangible *thing* needs to happen. I absolutely 100% would donate to a scholarship like Ms. Crump described.

Oh Christ, is this some excuse to compare Hillary to Nixon AGAIN? I’ll play, let’s compare Bernie to McGovern. Remind me, how many states did McGovern win in 1972? One. Massachusetts. You see these overwrought comparisons can go both ways.

I thought about doing this, but then I realized, if we ALL do this, then we will be facing a Trump-Sanders election and I cannot fucking stand the idea of two crazy old white men yelling at each other for another goddamn election. And that made me realize that Hillary wasn’t just the foregone conclusion, she was the…

Sanders has a history of working effectively with Republicans and reaching out to conservatives, an enormous advantage for anyone looking to lead a country as polarized as this one.

i think bernie has raised our collective awareness of a lot of issues that are usually drowned out by the noise single-interest groups. it’s great to see discussion around infrastructure and education and college debt, but he’s starting to sound like a broken record. getting people interested in an issue or cause is…

Barry, I hate to break it to you but Lincoln Chafee dropped out of the race months ago and this write-in fantasy of yours is doomed to fail.

TBH it reminds me a LOT of the 2008 elections - just in the sense that everyone was fired up as hell, and they (myself included) were pretty sure that Obama was gonna ride into office on a Unicorn and fix this fucked up country.

1) This dumb election has made every single politically minded person lose their minds and I can’t wait until it’s over

I was in my early teens during the testimonies, remember watching and being firmly on the side of Anita Hill. What I didn’t understand or appreciate at the time was the sheer bravery she must have had to face all of those horrible people and be treated with such condescension. I’m glad the movie doesn’t try to tell…

The leader of one of the largest religions in the world did NOT want to meet with him. A group within the Vatican invited him to speak. Nothing about this was ever a planned meeting between Sanders and the Pope at the Pope's request.

I’d honestly have no idea any of that even happened if it weren’t for Jez commenters being like “HEY PLS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HILLARY IS NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO EVER PANDER PLS.”

Charlemagne asking the tough questions... that’s why he ruled Christendom.

I think this speaks to one of the things people have said about her; that she’s absolutely fired up and a totally different person when she’s talking policy and substance, compared to campaigning. Politico had an interesting article on this from someone who’d reported on her both when she was Secretary of State and on…

which she dribbles on nearly all foods, including salads

Waiting for the avalanche of Bernie Bros who think Sriracha is the way to go...

That driver really should have had the insight to know the water was too deep.

I know! What is the deal with these people who suffer damages through no fault of their own, and then want to be compensated for their damages by the people who caused the damages? That is TOTALLY such a weird instinct SMDH

Never change.
