By this logic we should pay people less if they’re likely to switch jobs and don’t stay with a company 40 years. That’s not how it works.

This is such a wildly privileged opinion. Real people will get hurt under Trump. SCOTUS will be changed. Laws will be passed. The military will be deployed, affecting people around the globe. I get that you want a different political system but this is the one we live in. Don’t throw others under the bus in your quest…

Yeah, isn’t it amazing how they somehow managed to hire all the research chemists and doctors who are corrupt like that, and screen out all the ones who won’t play along with their evil machinations? That’s one fuck of an HR Department they got. No wonder no one with ethics has ever been in a position to pass up the…

scientists are getting closer to identifying root causes (none are vaccinations). aside from the change in diagnosis criteria which has increased the numbers, there are promising theories about paternal age (higher in recent history) and other DNA and genetic anomalies that can cause autism. external causes like…

You want to know what I think is gross?

AMEN. TO EVERYTHING.

Wow. I hadn’t even THOUGHT about the caucuses being something Bernie should be directly against. I live in Nevada and caucused for the first time in my life (moved from CA) and it was horrific compared to a primary. A lot of people didn’t participate because they had to go to work, and we’re a state where a LOT of…

Hillary supports the Party, and the Party supports her? That’s not exactly scandalous, unless you think the cashier at Target is in the wrong for passing customers’ money to the company and then being paid in return.

Funny how Jezebel doesn’t care about that but they’re willing to put some minor tv show or movie under the microscope to dissect the gender balance and diversity of the cast and crew. Meanwhile, Hillary has the most diverse campaign staff out there. Funny how Jezebel is silent on that.

NO, it doesn’t. It is for the down-ticket races primarily. It’s part of a fund to help other candidates called the Hillary Victory Fund. She gets a very small portion, but the rest goes to down ticket candidates. This is not hard to find out about.

Straight from the website: “The first $2,700/$5,000 from an…

It’s bad to raise money for down ballot candidates? That is the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.

Yes, I somehow feel that if said fundraiser was held for The Bern, he would no longer find it obscene in the least. Gawd. It’s not like Clooney is holding a Punch An Orphan fundraiser.

You do realize that this money is for down the ballot. She’s raising for the other candidates down ballot. How much has Bernie raised down ballot?

Dude, I’m fucking done with Sanders. I gave him a ton of money and I wish I could ask for it back. This fundraiser was done specifically to raise money for downballot candidates—the kind of congresspeople Sanders would actually need to fuel his imaginary revolution.

You’re kind of all over the place, but very wrong about resistance and vaccinations. You know bacteria and viruses are different, right? Bacteria are the ones that are growing increasingly resistant to antibiotics. We have some vaccines for bacterial infections, but they absolutely do not lead to the superresistant…

Oh fuck off.

Yes

Have you actually experienced this? Or are you assuming? Because, as I’ve said, in my experience none of the stuff you mentioned (background checks, people assuming non-relation, extra explaining, etc) happens, or when it does, it is not particularly burdensome. Less burdensome, to me at least, than changing my name…

Why would you need a different name in the home? Change will never happen if women are always the ones to capitulate.

This exactly. Well said. I don’t give one single fuck what people change their names to (or don’t), but every single argument men make for why they expect their wives to chnage their name can be flipped around, so how can anyone deny with a straight face that this is based in some old-timey sexist garbage? I’m not…
