Don’t worry, some of my BernieBro facebook friends have already switched to posting about Jill Stein. My favorite is when their posts have titles like “Hillary isn’t the only woman running for president!”, as if that’s going to convince people- because ya know, the only reason why anyone is voting for Hillary is

Wow the Republican candidates are all trying really hard to out-asshole each other this election.

That’s so awful. What did they think she should do, lie in bed sobbing for a week and then wear black mourning clothes for the rest of her life? People really need to learn to mind their own business.

I understand ScarJo’s point, but isn’t this the problem a lot of us have, that we are trained to not complain and to think “well it could be worse so it’s not fair for me to ask for more”? I’ve certainly felt a reluctance to ask for raises or “complain” because while I’m not at all rich, I can get by on what I’m

On top of that, she was the most-traveled Secretary of State, including going to places such as the middle of a war zone in eastern Congo to support women who are victims of the horrific sexual violence taking place there.

Actually our current president is a lawyer. Many have been lawyers/legislators/foreign strategists etc. first before becoming president. Sanders IS a legislator and has been for 30 years!

He’s like that one kid in class who never shuts up because he thinks his opinions on everything are just brilliant, then turns in a crappily written term paper with a handful of Wikipedia references pasted in and can’t understand why the professor doesn’t give him an A++++++. So instead of working harder he just cries

And if there isn’t a law that exists currently, then he should have figured that out a long time ago and tried to get a new law passed during all that time he has spent in Congress.

When Bernie said that Trump’s punishment-for-abortion comment was distracting from the important issues I lost any last shred of respect I still had for Bernie.

And the fact that he so freely said that he just hasn’t thought about it- WTF?! It’s one thing to saw something like “I’ve thought a lot about this but it’s complicated and there is no easy fix” but to have NOT THOUGHT AT ALL about it when he’s been running for freakin president for months now (not to mention the fact

Yes, of the few Republican women I know this is definitely the case. They grew up in more liberal states, but in rich, white, more conservative families. They attribute their comfortable rich white life to skill and attractiveness rather than luck and circumstance. Their main goal in life is reproducing with husbands

They do believe this, they just can’t say it. At least until now because Trump just doesn’t give a fuck. Plenty of women have been jailed for having abortions or even for having a miscarriage.

And just like that, Trump went from being the “best” of the Republican candidates on abortion to the worst. Even fucking Kasich said women shouldn’t be punished.

That’s not at all what people are saying. This is a problem everywhere, not just in tech. I work at a university, and in the 5 years I’ve been here I have lost track of all the mediocre white men they’ve promoted to the higher paying jobs. People who were not really qualified at all (some don’t even have bachelor’s

Especially since schools are funded off local taxes, which means the rich techbros & companies in those cities can EASILY fund higher salaries for the people educating their children and future employees.

Okay, but for some teachers 60k is the highest, or close to highest, they will ever be allowed to make. While you are making 15k more than that already with potential to still grow. Your lifetime earnings will likely be much higher than most people who are teachers for their entire careers. And in NJ, where my mom

Ugh I’m sorry that happened to you. This is an important point to make and one of the biggest problems I have with the gentrifiers; I’ve lived in Boston for 10 years and while it is overall a very safe city, there are still plenty of “nervous” looking people on the T, in the Common, downtown crossing, etc. If I called

yeah I think it’s pretty safe to say this poor man didn’t know what a “tactical sniper pose” was, or whatever bullshit the cops claim he was doing

Um, no, actually “Chill Pope” is supporting the nuns. Chill Pope is only chill on certain issues. He still hates women as much as all the rest of them do.

Ugh seeing two old white men shrieking at each other on a debate stage is not something I would look forward to.
