You say Hillary supporters are smug, but you sound pretty smug yourself, what with saying progressives can’t prefer Hillary over Bernie.

I think your parenthetical is key. All of the Hillary supporters I know don’t really talk about it. If we do, it’s in hushed tones in real life or on group chat/text with other known Hillary supporters. We really are a silent majority. I have gotten more brazen about posting on facebook as the campaign has gone on and…

She won her senate seat twice. :)

And as SoS she expanded equal benefits to same-sex partners of DoS employees, eliminated the requirement for surgery in order to change a gender marker on a passport, and promoted women’s and LGBT rights around the world.

I don’t know why the shooter has not been identified, but based on the neighborhood this happened in, I would be very very surprised if he is white.

Since I was never a PUMA and was pretty disgusted with what I saw as their racist reasoning for declaring they would never vote for Obama, actually no, I do not think it is at all hypocritical of me to criticize #Bernieorbust-ers.

Here’s the thing though, a lot of Sanders’ supporters haven’t. I know I don’t count as a Democrat (apparently) because I live in the south, but constantly seeing my candidate lose to (far worse) Republicans really thickened my skin so that when my candidate loses in the primary it’s basically water off a duck’s back.

In the general election, votes are not counted by mid-October, so that’s a pretty bad comparison to try and make.

I dunno, I say “Jewry” when appropriate, and I am a 100% certified real-life American Jew (just ask the Birthright folks, they let me on one of their trips recently). Seems much more efficient than saying “half of all the Jews in the world.”

LOL

I don't think it's that weird. I grew up in New England but moved to the south in my 20s and have lived here for 6 years and definitely sound a lot more southern now.

Just a heads up, Comcast is raising the cap in Tenessee to 1TB, thank the fucking lord. Hopefully they are doing the same in Atlanta!

I was obsessed with O-Town. I had my mom send me updates to that season of Making the Band while I was at sleepaway camp. Keep in mind this was 2000, so it was snail mail. That’s how invested I was.

I legitimately did not get that from your comment. To me, it sounded like a high-on-her-horse progressive looking down on a minority religious/ethnic tradition. Sadly, that’s not rare enough around here to automatically register as satire.

Which O-Town song do you think is grosser? Liquid Dreams, or my personal favorite, EVERY 6 SECONDS?

Yeah, you do, since it’s not particularly good for non-Jews to joke about Jewish traditions/practices that are not actually harming anyone. The orange is found on many progressive seder plates, but not all of them.

This is now my head canon. #Bidro (Castren?) BFFAE 4 LYFE!

When I first started dating my non-Jewish boyfriend, my family decided to host a seder for the first time in like 5 years to show him what it was like. We couldn’t find enough Haggadot for the table so everyone had to share. We also couldn’t remember any of the songs other than Dayenu. We forgot to buy a shank bone…

Like are you joking though, because if you’re joking it’s a bad joke and if you’re not... I am sideeyeing you real hard rn.
