Don’t they?

I completely applaud and respect how she chooses to wear baggy clothes because she doesn’t want to have comments about her body shape in the media and online but baggy clothing doesn’t mean looking like you just survived an explosion in a mall containing a Hot Topic, Forever 21, and Jacamo all in close proximity.

I mean, maybe she’s trying to do some counter-culture rejection of event dress codes but Eilish is just really starting to look like what would be, in British parlance, described as early 2000s Asbo yob.

IDK I thought the “sweeping reform candidate with ACTUAL FUCKING STEP-BY-STEP PLANS” was a pretty great niche but what do I know

Open bar?

Oh Pink...again? She’s ten years old. That’s not old enough to choose to have an abortion. It’s only old enough to choose to bear, birth and financially and emotionally support another living being for the next 18 years. You know, I’m not sure why you signed up for my evangelical newsletter if you were only going to…

Exactly! Why aren’t more men offended by this take? It’s saying you’re a vicious, amoral predator who can’t be trusted alone with any woman! That’s a terrible thing to say about someone.

Ugh.

Going on a podcast, which the jury will almost not be allowed to listen to, is not defending your client. She is either saying this because she genuinely believes it, or because she knows that there is money to be made from saying it in terms of future work. 

An armchair psychologist would say she sounds like someone who had a bad experience, blames herself for it and projects that blame on to others as a defence mechanism so that the self-blame won’t destroy her

Agreed. Like, okay, hypothetical person, you’re calling the victim an idiot. That already is dumb of you. But also, do you also think all men are untrustworthy assholes who are just waiting to rape people? Really? You think that half the world is made of uncontrollable animals?

She’s so absurdly evil. She doesn’t even seem like a real person. Like, I’d roll my eyes if she was the villain in a Lifetime movie and think it was corny how over the top shitty she is. 

What the actual F. Can this person’s humanity card be revoked? 

The unspoken part of these arguments is that it makes all men out to be assholes. If you honestly believe in the “You went to a guy’s hotel room, what did you expect?” you’re admitting that a) you think the victim is an idiot and b) all men are devious predators.

I thought I was the only person who couldn’t stand ketchup.  I don’t get any tang out of it, it’s just a gloppy overly sweet mess.

I was thinking this exact thing the other day. I like Bernie - he’s my second choice, probably. But like...guys....if you think he can live up to the expectations you’re placing upon him...even if we win EVERY questionable Senate seat and the House...guys....it’s not going to turn out like you think. (Personally, this…

Perhaps I’ve been too scarred by the false hope of the Obama years, when so much optimism and excitement and energy quickly curdled and went sour after candidate Obama became President Obama, and he abandoned the grassroots campaign that had powered his victory.

I am probably more of a Bernie fan than you, but I agree about his supporters. Anyone reading this who likes to just....I dunno, attack anyone who is not with you: do not underestimate the power of emotion when people vote. And if you are the one making people feel terrible, ask yourself whether you’re helping get…

Co-sign. I am also in the “Not a fan of Sanders, would never in a million years would vote for him in the primary, but would GLADLY vote for him in November.”

Lest the following comment be seen as too harsh, I want to note first that although Bernie is not my first pick, I’d gladly vote for him in November if he’s the nominee, and I voted for him last time in the primary. That said:

“While Paula admired Elizabeth Warren and agreed with her much-vaunted plans, “It’s like it’s…
