Okay, since you want to engage, I’ll engage. I’m from Vermont. I’ve met Sanders, back when he was the mayor of Burlington running for representative. Now, as a Vermonter, if you were to list towns or cities that most represent Vermonters, Burlington would be dead last. A college town full of white, transplant elites…

So he did his job to argue for the appropriations when the legislation reached the Senate. As he was elected to do, and I don’t fault that, he helped win the support. He wasn’t a lone wolf though, according to your own article, Harry Reid tapped Sanders to make the argument and whip the votes. The original sponsor was…

I do struggle with reading, but my hearing is working just as it should. I don’t have to convince you; you’ve hitched your star to a person who has a long career but of a sudden has become a populist candidate on supposed life-long advocacy. I come from Vermont, I’m quite familiar with Sanders’s career and work. I…

I actually see a conservator in her future, as she’s much more successful than LL ever was, but ultimately I hope she finds health and happiness. Whatever this is, is a symptom of something, to be sure. 

Exactly right. Like trump devotees, for some reason old white Bernie really fires up a certain type of crowd. And I’ll never get it because if you do any research on him, he’s done exactly nothing of substance as a politician, like trump. And yet, here we are. 

Annnnd? 

But what did he actually accomplish as a politician for 30 years? A senator from Vermont, and VT doesn’t have universal health care either. So please, list his actual accomplishments. I’ve gone to many rallies on many issues, but I also haven’t done a damn thing that made a difference, so should I start a revolution?…

He didn’t even do that, so stop. Do some reading. 

She conflated it for sure. Anyone not a political junkie would have made that connection and she knew it, but not as much as Bernie knows it. Just how much has Bernie actually fought for m4a or universal healthcare before the last election? What does “fighting for” even mean to him? Because he’s done fuck-all but get…

Didn’t he actually vote no on CHiP? 

It probably was, and I’m sorry I counter-pointed with the reality that most people can’t do the same as you and still afford day-to-day life without taking your main point in my response. I guess I responded to what I perceived was some sort of humble-brag on how you were able to put your kids through school with no…

Whenever I think about dating, that’s where I end up too. I just can’t be bothered to take on someone else’s needs either, apart from my kids. My situation is almost exactly the same as you describe (narcissist, alcoholic, manipulative, liar, gaslighting asshole). You’re a better person than me though, even though I…

Thanks. I’ve been posting for 10 years (old Gawker commenter, many burners). 

I posted a fucking burning reply to Celebitchy on a post about how Harry shouldn’t really blame the media for his mother’s death and this was not at all like how they are treating Meghan and their child (yes, it is just like that, or worse), as if they aren’t the media and profiting off every single post about the…

From what I’ve read, they’ve helped incite it. It keeps the press off their own misdeeds. Also, Prince Andrew. Those fuckers don’t care as long as their miserable, vile asses are out of the spotlight. 

Can we do a post-divorce dating thread? It’s been over a year, and I can’t even look men in the eye at the grocery store. I’m still very skittish about trusting men, yet, lonely and thinking about dating all the time. What has been your experience? 

More legit than you. Trusted and a voice of reason. Now go away. 

I’ve read that your menopause experience will be similar to your own mother’s, and my mom had no real debilitating symptoms, mostly mild, just hot flashes but not severe. Hoping that is true for me. I had a friend at college whose mother had such horrible menopausal symptoms that she was checked into psychiatric care…

When my son was born, he was a terrible sleeper from the start (he’s now 9 and still a terrible sleeper). The first time he slept 4 hours (at about 4 months old), I awoke in a panic, thinking he must have died - and he was right next to me in his bassinet, doing fine. I should have cherished those 4 hours. I was also…

What’s sex? :) Happy Birthday!
