No, I don’t think either of them deserve what they’re getting/got on the basis that it’s being dished out to them. But, you know, live by the sword (purposely misreading tweets in order to play-act outrage, in this case), die by the sword. Chelsea brought this on herself by starting the avalanche against Omar. I don’t…

If they can disrupt whatever brand-building exercise Chelsea is undertaking in hopes of holding elected office one day, they will have done us a great service.

Not a single person who claimed to be offended by Omar’s tweets was doing so in good faith. Fuck that noise. She said nothing anti-Semitic and nothing offensive.

Wouldn’t it be great if there were a show featuring a fat star that wasn’t fundamentally about said star’s character “navigating the world while fat”? What if it were just portrayed as ordinary?

I don’t think it’s a done deal yet, but yeah, if his being an evil piece of shit isn’t enough to galvanize people together, then... yeah, fuck it.

I’ve always been totally skeezed out by the way Gillibrand has tried to get out ahead and brand herself as the wokest one in US politics. She was really pushing to be the #MeToo candidate, which has kind of backfired on her. And now she’s trying to be “brave,” which is a term that gets tossed around a lot in social…

The running theory on why Biden is waiting is so he can announce after the current fiscal period and get a few months of breathing room before having to announce fundraising figures.

No, they weren’t.

Ilhan Omar made some tweets, and was blamed by many for feeding into rising anti-Semitic violence with her words. And Chelsea Clinton was the one who opened the flood gates on that shit. I don’t have a speck of sympathy for Clinton in this whole matter. If she doesn’t want other people to purposely misread her tweets…

What’s now happening to Chelsea Clinton is virtually indistinguishable from the shitstorm she caused from Ilhan Omar (well, except for the fact that it’s not culminating in direct threats on Clinton’s life). She’s being pushed to apologize for tweets read, on purpose, in literally the least charitable way possible, so…

Bernie Sanders supporters acting like assholes? Check. Bernie Sanders supporters being completely irrational about the Clintons? Check. Bernie Sanders supporters pulling the focus to themselves and making discussion about the actual issue nearly impossible? Check.

“Your interpretation of our tweet is completely wrong! You killed people with it! Our interpretation of your tweet is completely right! Apologize to us! On video and on the internets!”

I’m just trying to do you a favor. Explaining the reality to you. We need to do a better job keeping you Berniebros in line when the inevitable happens. Can’t have you all going back to Ron Paul, for whom 90% of you used to support.

No one cares how long you think the odds are. Again, we’re all going to get to vote. Gaming the discourse isn’t going to move the needle.

Wow, this comment section has really been scrubbed to erase any and all of the valid criticisms of Stein’s underlying racist attitudes, hasn’t it?

Romanticizing the past is rarely, if ever, a good idea. The relaxing of public fashion was a direct rebellion to the stifling, classist homogeneity that dominated before. I’m glad we no longer live in a society where one’s worthiness to participate in public life depends on their ability to wear a glorified uniform…

Except this isn’t actually true. I can tell you’d like this to be true, because it would validate some motivated set of opinions you have about Steam, but it isn’t. The reviews are usually fairly helpful, or at least valid.

Who cares? It’s obviously not interfering with your enjoyment that the games you like have “mixed” reception. Does everything have to be “extremely positive”?

His numbers have gone up as Biden’s have gone down. And they’ve gone up at a greater rate than everyone else’s.

He’s objectionable because he uses the same magical thinking that infuriates me so much about the entirety of the right. He offers up everything but the sun without any real world explanation of how it will be structured or paid for.
