That house Asian thing is particularly bullshit when Cho has put herself out there as a critic of Swinton getting the role. It’s like, “I speak for Asians when I say we’re upset at you.” “Can you explain why you think people are upset about this thing, so I can understand.” “This bitch thinks I speak for Asians, fuck…

Yeah, I mean I would get it if Tilda just picked some random Asian out of a hat but Cho was specifically criticizing Swinton as early as May so it makes the go to person to ask why people are upset with you is the person who is saying people are upset with you.

No, religion is only a tool to be leveraged for the benefit of the party. If they cared about religion they would be against adultery as much as they are againstgay people.

We could always just say “hey, that’s how the system works, you lost get over it!!!1111 Go back to your safe space and cry snowflake.”

Fun fact*: Clinton’s popular vote margin is larger than six presidents who have won both the popular vote and the electoral college including: Kennedy, Carter, Nixon and she’s creeping up on GWB’s second election(she’s currently at 2.08 and he was 2.46).

I know it’s not going to happen, and I know it would cause total chaos, but if the electoral college somehow flipped to Hillary I would get endless pleasure out of saying “that’s how the system works, you lost, get over it. Crybaby repubs are just sore losers.”

Let’s do.

She’s stopped being a literal impression of Kellyanne and become an avatar for all of us.

The number of things people believe are ancient but really only go back to the 1800's is mind boggling. Our modern celebration of Christmas, the modern conception of Santa, modern marriage and romantic love, all that shit goes back to the 1800s. That’s only 100's of years as in two 100's of years but people think it’s…

Trump just shrugged this whole thing off as NBD (“Interesting how the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call”) and something just occurred to me: tensions between Taiwan and China are particularly high right now because Taiwan recently elected a…

The Chinese have blamed Taiwan for the phone call, calling it a petty move and a trick by the Taiwanese. They’re saying it doesn’t change US-China relations but they’re not happy about. There are important structural reasons that a breach in protocol isn’t going to completely destroy diplomatic relations but the…

I feel like I need to step up and get involved. I want to join my local ward committee but, it’s hard to feel like you’re in a position to make an impact. We had a 70% turnout in my state. Hillary won the state by almost 30 points and she took 88% of the vote in my city. The ward committee gets bogged down in petty…

Trump and Pence are like a choose your own dystopia adventure: 1984 or The Handmaiden’s Tale.

You know what, Hillary is wealthy, white and well-connected, barring nuclear war, she’s going to weather the next 4 (of please god not 8) years perfectly fine and I don’t begrudge her one second of it. She’s dedicated her life to public service and all she’s gotten in return is steaming pile after steaming pile of…

The thinking goes: he’s an asshole but he’s our asshole. They’ve been convinced that we’re out to get them and he’s going to stop us. Never mind the fact that they want the same things we do. They want their Medicare, Medicade, and Social Security to stay the same, many of them want to see an increase in the minimum…

Yup. Boomers were the hippie generation. Millenials will probably be less threatened by people of color since POC will make up a larger percentage of the population, so they will have more exposure to them, same with GLBT people and they’ll probably be more comfortable with women in power, but as they get older and…

Also, there is no good comedy to be made out of this. The situation is so terrible it doesn’t take an incisive wit to illustrate the absurdity of it all. It’s bad, it’s crazy, it’s ridiculous on its face. Any idiot with eyes can see it.

I agree. Shit, we need school boards and dog catchers too. Especially in Red America. If people can get comfortable voting for a Democrat on a local level, if they can see Democrats getting results in things that affect their lives, they’ll be comfortable voting for them nationally. If Joe Smith Democratic City…

We need state houses, we need governors, and we need to start fielding serious house candidates in red states, even if they’re longshots. President and Senate are not enough. If we want real change we need more state and local support and a deeper bench to draw from.

I’m already wary of watching certain movies on NetFlix because I’m afraid my suggestions will be fucked for months if I watch something that doesn’t fit my algorithm profile. What will happen if you start to worry that writing certain posts or sharing certain articles will make FaceBook start asking if you’re okay?
