Well, the Americans with Disabilities Act has been around since 1990. Failing to turn on CC at a movie theater of the ADA as CC is considered a reasonable accommodation for Deaf and hard of hearing people, so you guys should probably figure that out if you don’t want a lawsuit on your hands.

Aw yes, foster care and group homes in the U.S. are not known to be abusive one bit. /sarcasm I 100% disagree with you. In situations like this, the family should be given resources and support to get off of drugs before the child is taken. It would be in the best interest of the child to stay with his/her bio parents…

I’m with you on SCOTUS appointments. I’m just sick and tired of that being the major reason to vote for a president, to get SCOTUS crumbs essentially. Like, maybe one day in the future SCOTUS will order us to stop torturing our prisoners in longterm solitary confinement. That would be a huge victory. Wouldn’t solve…

I’ve never been in that situation to accept such things. I couldn’t say what I would do if I was in their position. I’d like to think I wouldn’t accept it, but money corrupts everyone and no ones perfect. That’s why we need rules preventing this kind of thing and also stricter campaign finance reform more generally in…

Here’s the source:

Thanks for sharing. Do you have a link for the last bit about healthcare for children in Africa? I googled around and am not finding anything to the point. Does this have to do with the Clinton Foundation and are their specific countries that they achieved some healthcare goals in? Or something she did as SOS?

I see what your saying. That 150 million I referenced, however, wasn’t money given to her campaigns for her to get elected. That specific amount was money given to her and her husband personally for speaking fees at private, Wallstreet events. It’s legal bribery. If you believe money corrupts, this is the most…

What has she accomplished that has diminished/decreased white supremacy? I’m fairly familiar with her record, both domestic and foreign, and the only thing I know of is her support for CHIP as first lady. Everything else she has accomplished has seemed to reinforced white supremacy IMO (deporting child refugees from…

Interesting. Do you interpret this as a shift left? It just seems like she is speaking out of both sides of her mouth to me, but I am very cynical. You know welfare reform and free trade deals like NAFTA were also part and parcel with the policies around the crime bill, in terms of their catastrophic impact on poor…

Sure. And Sarah Palin got horrible, sexist shit thrown at her by the mainstream media, including Andrew Sullivan writing stories about how her baby wasn’t hers. A male politician would never have to face a story like that. That doesn’t make me want to vote for her though.

I agree. Why contextualize any votes in Congress when we can cynically ignore the actual history of such things to promote our candidate of choice? It doesn’t matter that he fought the crime bill for years, defanged it a little, and only voted for it because of VAWA. He is the person to blame for mass incarceration.…

Hillary has expressed regret about the crime bill? Can you please send me a link? I honestly have not seen that (although I did watch that one speech where Bill apologized).

Someone who can back it up with their actions and isn’t cynically using those words to get elected. The fact that she and her husband have been paid over 150 million dollars from private donors on Wallstreet just makes her words that much more hollow and cynical. She’s taking her privilege all the way to the bank (And…

The sentiment is fine. White supremacy and white privilege obviously exist. However, being lectured about privilege by a millionaire, white woman who has a decent chance at being the most powerful person on earth is FUCKING INSANE. This election is driving me crazy.

The Asian American stat is here:

Again, CHIP was not a piece of legislation introduced by HRC. I credit her for supporting and helping get it passed, but it was passed in 1997. Bernie has been a leader for decades in advancing progressive legislation. This article has some highlights of his legislative record:

CHIP was created in 1997, when HRC was the first lady. I credit her for supporting it/helping create it, but it was not created when she was senator. Comparing Bernie’s vs. HRC’s record on extending healthcare to poor people, including children and women, Bernie’s legislative record is much bigger. He helped write the…

I guess it depends on how you see the world. I see women’s issue as encompassing more than access to safe abortions and equal pay, but also access to healthcare, education, housing, etc. I also see mass incarceration as a women’s issue, since poor, women of color have been particularly targeted for prison with the War…

Bernie polls with Asian Americans than HRC, but only white and black people exist in America, amirite? (Also, the two rallies I’ve watched him (through livestream) speak at were in Montgomery and Minnesota; they were very diverse and both had Black women speakers in them, but let’s pretend they don’t exist, amirite?)

I have not seen any high profile interviews like this one where a Bernie supporter claims that women are only supporting Hillary because of their gender. I have seen a bunch of high profile news article (Valenti, et al.) arguing that women should support Hillary only because of their gender. Setting aside any…
