Fight for 15 has never been about arguing that $15 is a perfect universal wage, but rather that we need to rethink the wage floor in this country. What this movement essentially aims to do is more or less double the basic earning floor from ~$15k/yr to ~$30k/yr gross pay. It’s not the sum total of the fight for fair…

Yeah. Despite the charges getting dropped, it’s pretty clear that most people still believe he staged a hate crime against himself. Even those who are happy to see him not get jailtime are basing their view on entirely different premises (e.g. that we should, generally speaking, be a less punitive society). Few…

Even in my wildest of 2016 primary days did I ever describe anti-Clinton people as haters. I did say my fair share of negative things, but never like that.

No, in these comments. Splinter’s core audience is pissed-off centrists. Have you actually taken a look at the comments here before?

You’ve got to admit there’s a ton of overlap in that Venn diagram.

Well, of course not all people who don’t prefer Bernie are haters, but you definitely happen to be one. I don’t care if you’d “hold your nose” and vote for him in the general. One need not be a complete self-destructive idiot in order to be a hater.

You will love Bernie Sanders.

I have no illusion

I’m already living under one racist old white populist dude with a cult like following, probably won’t even notice the difference.

I think he majority of the issue was people not liking the idea of propping up Fox News as a legitimate source.

Nothing will move the needle against Sanders, his supporters are just like Trump supporters. Nothing will ever make them question dear leader.

Of course it was a good idea for a racist populist to go on a channel catering to racist populists.

I didn’t hear anyone really complaining about it that wasn’t already against sanders. So you should pay them no mind.

Boy, all those centrist assholes were right, it was totally a bad move for Sanders to go on Fox News for a townhall. What an embarrassing look for him, right? :D

What policies does he advocate that younger, better candidates haven’t adopted?

So the whole “Marvel Moment” thing is pretty much a paid blowjob, right? Just not understanding why we’re supposed to sit here and pretend that the MCU flicks are of great meaning and significance. There are a lot of them and they make a lot of money. Nobody is going to recall these movies as great cinema.

Again, you sound like you’re trying to convince yourself. You certainly aren’t convincing anyone else.

Either way, if it’s so exhausting, why subject yourself to the social media melee? You don’t have to read shitty Twitter accounts or engage people on Facebook or in internet comments. That’s not a literal requirement. And at this point, it certainly seems like your psychological wellbeing is affected by all of this.

Again, everyone around here already knows what you are. I don’t need to dig through your commenting history.

The vast majority of this country has no idea what people are bitching about on Twitter. Seriously, you can sit there and be delusional like the rest of the zombies, or you can come back out and live in the real world again. Delete your accounts.
