If everyone who professes to be a liberal, or even anti-Trump, just committed themselves to voting for whomever has the (D) next to their name in the general election, we’d be solid—even despite the gerrymandering, sabotaging of the VRA, etc. Unfortunately, I think the narcissism of small differences is going to bite…
It’s absolutely the best thing about Warren. She’s a person of conviction. That is what’s needed, not mealy-mouthed bullshit.
We all get to be super picky during the primary, and then we all have to suck it the fuck up and vote for whoever gets the nomination. I asked my husband the other day which dem candidate it would be hardest for him to vote for and he said Biden without hesitation. For me it’s a tie between Biden and Gabbard. All the…
Don’t “both sides” this. Those aren’t the only arguments against him and you know it.
The way she’s been doing that is focusing on the factors of how people get into debt, how various industries are predatory, and forcing them to “play fair”.
The whole bootstraps narrative is based in people believing that those people have earned their wealth, and are in turn more virtuous than those without it. While…
Voters in a Democratic primary are not representative of America as a whole.
The best candidate is the one who pulls in the most votes. That’s what a primary is meant to determine. Arguing people into voting for your preferred candidate on the basis that they have the greatest appeal is the equivalent of Jeb Bush begging for applause. If he had the greatest appeal, you wouldn’t have to be out…
Not even Leslie Knope would vote for Joe when she could vote Warren.
This comment needs more snark, but you made fantastic points here. You cannot ask those who do not have as much money and resources to sacrifice when you're not willing to do the same, especially when you could.
Rather? You bet! Commercial air travel is a horror show, even if you can afford first class and don’t have to spend the flight pretzeled into a seat designed by somebody who hates the human body. And obviously, especially in these days of “social media means I OWN YOUR SOUL” crazies who will stab you for the Instagram…
we’re all hypocrites.
That’s the cusp of the entire environmental issue, everyone is for saving the environment as long as it doesn’t inconvenience them. Celebrities are no different.
“a lot is down to safety, convenience, and efficiency.”
Think of the horrors of them having to flying first class or business class! When you’re preaching shared sacrifice and telling people to change their behavior for the good of the planet, you might want to practice what you preach. This is like Republicans preaching abstinence only education or talking pro-life while…
To me Leo is the worst offender. He’s made being an eco-warrior a part of his brand. Yet he’s constantly seen flying by private jet to party on a yacht with a bunch of friends and 20 year old supermodels. Environmental issues are a safe cause for rich white celebrities. You don’t have to interact with impoverished…
I am grateful to these privileged few for shouldering the heavy burden of guilt for taking private jets so that I don’t have to. Noblesse oblige at its finest.
The fuck is she wearing though? LOLOLOL lawd this is just a mess.
Sometimes I think the greatest feat of political gamesmanship the Republicans have pulled in the last 40 years is how thoroughly they have gotten in the heads of Democrats of a certain generation.
