I have a couple FB aquantinces who rabidly turned on Liz Warren and Obama last week.

Exactly. And even if you manage to make them, the bombs can fail to detonate, or fail to create the desired level of carnage. The terror bombings in Belgium, as horrible as they were, involved at least 5 attackers, likely more, and attacks in three separate sites — including a busy train station — and still did not

10:1 margin? Man, there must be a lot of unreported bombings going on...

I don’t think terrorists would disagree at all about the fastest and easiest way to kill lots of people, or at least, if they do, they keep using guns anyway — those two cases are outliers. The vast, vast majority of mass killings of civilians in the US are committed using firearms. And the Boston bombing is a weird

And I’m no fan of religion, particularly the type that tells you hating someone different than you is what God wants. But hatred like that, whether its homophobia or misogyny or racism, is a deep-rooted problem that is difficult to engage. How do you make people stop wanting to harm others?

We can address in the

You think so? Because in my experience, men who hate women tend to hate gays as well. See: every MRA dude, ever.

What about Isla Vista and Charleston?

Some people are full of hatred, whether they get it from a church or mosque, or a high school dance or a white supremacist website. I don’t think you can stamp out every cause of hate, but you can certainly reduce the ability of people to turn that hate into a massive pile of

I don’t get people who are like, “Surely he must have had help! Who could do this on their own! He must have had support from other terrorists!” Like, uh, no actually literally anyone could do this. Buying a gun and a shit ton of ammo and entering a crowded space and shooting indiscriminately is not rocket surgery.

SURPRISE, BITCHES. When you ignore or silence women’s voices, when you abuse women when they speak out, that’s what happens— you get a stealth campaign that ends in a righteous curb-stomping.

This surprises me not at all. I’m a big Clinton supporter, but I haven’t put a sign up in my yard. I stopped posting stuff on FB. I rarely, if ever, commented on posts because the hostility was awful. The worst I think was a young woman who called Clinton many names, but capped it off by calling her a cunt. There’s no

So I don’t know where else to share this, but this tweet, from the liberal filmmaker daughter of the Constitution Party candidate, may be one of the saddest things I’ve ever read, and also explains a lot about why the relative volume of Sanders’s supporters didn’t match up with the votes in the end.

Yes yes. Let’s focus on raw, authentic music culture, by watching yet another fucking t.v. network talent show.

Honestly, and I’m saying this as a bernie supporter, anyone who didn’t see this coming has had blinders on that are going to be difficult to remove.

This. I ended up supporting Hillary in the end but now I am thinking about my Berner friends who are feeling increasingly upset about their chances being shut out, many of them unwilling to concede defeat, thinking that Bernie will sway the super delegates, etc. I don’t think the strategy is to tell Bernie voters they

Yes we are. Get hype.

Are we allowed to be excited yet? I have a two year old daughter and this is just such a huge thing for her generation. She gets to grow up knowing you don’t have to be a white male to be president.

Literally everybody acting like the super delegates not officially voting until the convention means Bernie has a chance is a fucking moron. Why is it that we were fine with Obama being the presumptive nominee with a delegate count that included super delegates, but all of a sudden the rules are different when it’s a

Been getting increasingly irritated with Sanders rhetoric but “it’s like an anoitment” is the final straw for me. That language from his supporters has been driving me crazy all along and for him to legitimize it is a step too far. Newsflash, Bernie, when a candidate is beating you handily in both popular vote and

So the white guy who got fewer votes thinks that he deserves the nomination more than the woman who got more votes whose support is largely among women and people of color.

Trump has literally been trying to prop Bernie up. That should tell you all you need to know.
