So, I made that dumb choice when I was an emotionally disregulated teenager, just like most people. Now I’m an adult managing an addiction (quit a few years ago, actually, but I still get cravings), and I used nicotine replacements to do it. How does that fit in to your save the children/you made stupid choices, deal…

It’s likely the 20% that didn’t report THC use are probably lying about it. The fact that that the overwhelming majority of illnesses is coming from THC vapes in states with no legal means of obtaining THC is a huge tell with this story. I agree with Esther’s premise that banning all forms of vaping is just going to…

Not really? One of them bought Juul, but by and large vaping equipment & eliquid mfrs have nothing to do with tobacco companies. Gotta love the misinfo/disinfo!

They’re here claiming Bernie, the man who has consistently and publically supported trans and gay rights since at least the 1980s, is somehow changing his position now when these issues are more popular than ever, while supporting miss “I voted for Reagan during the AIDS crisis” with 71% white supporters as their…

No it’s because liberals weaponize it against minorities. As an example: As a latina why should I give a shit about having a female president if she isn’t going to do anything for my community? Bernie is the only candidate who has called for a moratorium on deportations.

Yup, farbeit for people to understand context of any sort of criticism. Clearly it's blind hatred!

I read the article, and much as I am not a big fan of Sanders, the examples given portray the bernie bros as just overly defensive. As for the Trump supporters—well, there’s major harassment in those tweets.

Her twitter thread on the matter is pretty explanatory. https://twitter.com/zahrabilloo/status/1174579933642756097?s=21

Which is the contradiction of it all: if either Warren or Sanders does win the presidency, those people who elected them will, in many ways, necessarily become their adversaries as the candidates conform to the presidency and, as always, break promises.

Yes, if Warren or Sanders win we’re not going to get 100% of what they’re promising. But they’re going to start negotiations further left which means that an inevitable compromise will be further left. Not to mention that Warren has talked about ending the filibuster which would make it much easier to pass her…

When people use nicotine patches, or gum, we say they’ve quit smoking.  What’s the difference?  All I know is I no longer have asthma or any respiratory illnesses since I switched.  Gum, etc., didn’t work for me because I’m a twitchy nervous person who needs to keep my hands busy.  NOW, I will say this.  I do treat it…

After 20 years, I ONLY quit smoking after I started vaping. The media is hyping this up. Don’t take away my vape because parents didn’t watch their kids. Number one, the smoking age was 18 to begin with, so what are these kids doing vaping? Two, all of the cases so far were THC, NOT straight nicotine. Three, you can…

You’re such a bad faith piece of shit. Do you honestly think people being criticized is “silencing” them? Or is it more likely that you find any criticism of “anti-PC” behavior (in other words, racist, bigoted bullshit) as intolerable and you believe you should be free from consequences of your backwards ass views?

His fame is at least as legit as a real housewife’s or bachelor contestant’s.  More, if you ask me.

Now do Neera and the army of consultants who decided to skip the Upper Midwest and who are still trashing Sarandon rather than doing any kind of self-criticism.

I hate this narrative that democrats should do *everything* based on republicans. Especially in a primary, vote for things us democrats believe in, it’s one of the only times when we don’t have to work with or compromise with the other party. I don’t want to always vote for things/people just because we stand a chance…

Warren is from Oklahoma. The idea that Biden can speak to the conservative states better than someone who’s from there is laughable. The electability argument is bad, and people shilling this argument for Biden are showing their ass. 

1.) “Don’t vote FOR this candidate, vote AGAINST the other candidate.” didn’t work so well in 2016
