You have it backwards; they suspend reality to feel threatened, then try to project their crazy unto reality.

I hate this argument. BLM and transgender issues weren’t why Clinton lost; it was the conservative messaging around BLM and transgender issues combined with fragility of the white, male and Christian voters that caused Clinton’s loss.

“I hope we can still be friends” is his way of exonerating himself while still subjugating her emotionally, like, “Well I still care about you and want to be friends so I’m not that bad of a guy, but you should feel bad if you don’t forgive me and want to continue our friendship.”

This is why religions exist.

You need to word your statement better then. I’m not trying to make it the “sole aspect of the party,” I just don’t want the Democratic party to lose focus on civil rights. You said we need to “cool it with identity politics,” which sounds like you want the party to focus less on civil rights. Also, not only did…

I’m not making it the only issue, I’m trying to prevent the issue from being ignored. There’s a difference between having a platform that addresses all issues and a platform that addresses all issues except civil rights.

Donald Trump got elected because Fox News and Breitbart control the messaging on moral issues to white people, and shitty TV “news” stations feel like they need to give a platform to blatant racism and misogyny because you’ve gotta “hear both sides.” Trump did not win because of the actual ideas. Democrats need to…

If it’s a visibility issue, then why did you say to tone down the moral arguments?

WTF are you talking about Bill Clinton for?

Fighting for equality and economic issues in middle America are not mutually exclusive. You can do both (Hillary did both), and abandoning the most loyal voters (black people) is probably not the best idea.

“Sorry disenfranchised and marginalized people, we’re focusing on white people again.”

They also need to tone down the moral arguments.

Also worth keeping in mind: if you have any “no-rush credit” (that expires pretty quickly) you can use it on software.

I agree and disagree. I think your point can be true, but only after we acknowledge our privilege can we have any feelings about it. There are a lot of white people out there who don’t think they’re privileged, and think black people’s problems are their own fault.

The justice system has been working for years to disappear people. Our prisons are already internment camps for minorities. People only care now because Trump is fucking nuts.

2016 wasn’t the bad year. All the people that died was just God saving them from 2017.

OMG, Gronk is going to expose the next Watergate.

Well that wasn’t the answer he was looking for, apparently, because he voted “Nay” when confirming her.

Does anybody remember when David Cameron tried his own Muslim ban? I don’t really have a point, I just thought people should remember this shit is not new.

What are the chances the IRS has enough resources to actually audit anybody this year?
