I do too! I do PP of the Gulf Coast because I figure they need it with the legislators representing Louisiana and Texas.

I rather strive to become the rich idiot who can afford to pay $38K for a round trip to Mumbai.

It’s insufficient for men to scream about economic disparity at a general level (i.e. the 2016 election) if they’re unwilling to do so at their own workplace.

If people are going to begin erasing civil rights leaders because of controversial views they held, we may as well turn civil rights history as a whole into an optional, removable pamphlet in history books.

large breasts

Okay as someone who has actually dealt with the shit you get when you have large breasts, this is not a humblebrag. Big boobs are not a luxury contrary to popular belief, they are a pain in the ass. And the worst part is you aren’t even allowed to vent about them without someone saying, “I would kill for big boobs!”…

From my perspective as a Latina, I think it means exactly what you think it means. It’s invoking the fantasy that somehow White folks are gonna get beat up being in a poor non-White neighborhood in the middle of the day. I saw yesterday and was like OMG. If Clinton had said this people would be all over her.

I voted…

Ehh, it’s because Sanders has too many white males aged 18-25. They have a tendency to ruin everything for everyone else. Too thin-skinned, fragile, and hyperemotional.

Beautiful.

Amanda Marcotte at Salon mentioned something that I hadn’t considered before, which ties the abhorrent behavior to the absent delegates:

Had this conversation just a couple days ago. I praised Clinton and stated that Sanders can’t win (AND that he’s not a perfect candidate anyway). Guy said it’s sad that I’ve “given up” on progressivism and idealism. I was like nope, I haven’t given up - I just don’t think progressivism lives and dies on the success of…

Not quite accurate. Mirrick Garland did his job as a judge and interpreted the law as written and voted based on the merits of the case. This has sometimes meant that he has voted in ways that frustrated liberals on campaign finance, and sometimes in ways that cheered them. The case that comes up in which he was part…

It’s not the living on their own. You can live with your family and be a responsible adult. Loads of people do it around the world. Frankly I think the American idea that adulthood=moving out was invented by people selling furniture and towels, etc. More people living on their own, more consumers with households of…

That’s not true. As a lower court judge he had to rule in light of the precident of the Supreme Court decision on Citizens United in some cases, but that doesn’t make him pro-Citizens United.

Can we also remember for five seconds who/what Citizens United was? It was a group of Republican trolls who wanted to air unlimited falsehoods and attacks against Hillary Clinton. I THINK SHE AGREES IT WAS BAD.

“ I have too many friends who shouldn’t have to suffer through the fallout of a Trump presidency so I can brag about my high moral standing.”

Agreed. My Brother-in-law is in banking, he doesn’t fault anyone for not understanding regulations, but in that interview, Bernie also made it clear he has no idea what he wants the banks to turn into once he breaks them up. That’s terrifying.

Except he’s not really standing against it. Like the comment above mentions, he says he condemns it, then adds the “but...” immediately after. That’s the response of an experienced, establishment government person who wants to play both sides of the fence. He wants to keep the crazy part of his base, but also not…

ding ding ding!

I don’t get it. I just really don’t. I voted for Bernie. I hyped him up as much as I could to everyone who’d listen. I donated. I love the progressive politics.
