“What will you do if you need a cop?”

Hope I am not married to one beating me!

This sounds on brand for the Midwest. When racism allegedly only happens in the South, you can get away with it easier in the North.

There’s too many things that would need to be explicitly acknowledged to label white supremacy as domestic terrorism.

Terrorists have to be seen as people trying to overthrow the current government. They are outsiders or insurgents. They are Antifa, BLM, etc. Terrorists can’t be working in government because then that…

I think this is one of the major sticking points whenever you have people like Gina Rodriguez demanding more representation because it’s always a specific kind, and it’s always coincidentally excluding black people. There is a lot of ground to cover between Celia Cruz and Ted Cruz. The grouping was always more…

Was cackling over how many people thought it was Bad Bunny at first.

And this is precisely why she didn’t win the Dem nomination. We’re a country of dumbasses and doing the right thing often involves a feel good narrative, easy enemies, and not stepping on any toes.

Disney is capitalism on steroids. It was exploiting its workers before the pandemic so it makes sense they would be the…

I didn’t word that well. She got more support in SC in 2016 than he did in 2020 and that was pre Trump.

That assumes that they want better for themselves and not just worse for others. That sort of pathology is usually present in all forms of bigotry and prejudice. You don’t want to end the oppression you’re in, just escape it.

Right? She is speaking on it because she believes what she is saying. Wouldn’t nobody care if Phylicia Rashad said she was just on the same show but wasn’t around when it happened so she doesn’t know why she’s being asked about it.

What kind of privileged academia sort of statement is this?

We expected them to not lose the majority during the Obama years and then continue to have jobs where they whine about how Republicans have control as if it’s always been that way. I have never read anything about how hard Chuck Schumer fought and lost. I have only read about how well connected and well paid he is…

No his campaign was run on, “do you want to go back to the Obama days?” That is specifically why he was able to make a comeback by getting black voter support in SC. If you look at 2016, Clinton beat him in that primary.

I know you’re not arguing in good faith based on your username but I have to worry about what your…

We should have age and/or term limits because there is absolutely no way Dianne Feinstein should still be in government. Although I guess it’s poetic that the person chosen to “balance out” the queer liberals in SF is there as Republicans try to “balance out” women’s rights.

When many of the suffragettes said they’d rather only white women be able to vote if it meant a greater chance of it happening, that excuse only goes so far. I agree with the original comment in this thread that white men by and far aren’t “getting a talking to” but bringing up how helpless white women are to stop…

My guess is that someone on salary working remotely from Oklahoma costs substantially less and is easier to find than trying to convince a professor in/around NYC to get ad sales as compensation during a pandemic.

This has always been Kamala’s strength and what I feel is absolutely necessary at this point in politics. Republicans had a 24 year head start on bashing Hillary Clinton. They have no idea what to do with someone who is just as unbothered but also is content to let her husband be a non-entity. That is such a strange…

I’m always unnerved by his pug eyes. I want to find him attractive but a human having googly eyes makes me look away instinctively. Maybe Princess Beatrice felt the same way and accidentally cut a bitch.

I think they’re too boring for that. They don’t preach enough to be hypocrites. I think their biggest secret is probably that they are really into the female submission dynamic and that would probably make a lot of their sponsors uncomfortable.

That was unfortunately the fault of Bob Dole. Apparently he handed out their products along his campaign stops. Absolutely none of the Repub strategy that year makes sense to me.

I’m still upset that the majority of white people who voted in the 1996 election wanted Bob Dole instead of Bill Clinton. Impeachment aside, BOB DOLE?!

I don’t get Republican strategy either that year. You just got a major PR victory in the form of showing that liberals are immoral and you pick BOB DOLE?! Did Newt…
