I read the first lines of your comment and was like “all right, here comes Justice McJudgey”, but I have to admit you completely turned me around with your additional info - so thank you for doing it. Wish you hadn’t needed to. *glances at author*

chiropractortory is a complete fucking scam. His parents are clearly wackaloons that don’t believe in science.

The parents let this poor child die a horrible, agonizing death. I felt sick just reading about it. 

Though the lack of universal healthcare in this country is a travesty, this boy’s tragic death isn’t entirely due to it. From the Albuquerque Journal:

I like the would-be gatekeepers who get annoyed that the gates aren’t there.

It’s fascinating to me that when white people start wearing something, it’s upscale and reminiscent of privilege, but when my grandmother wore the exact same garment at a fraction of the price, she was just an old lady wearing a house dress.

Honestly, I don’t expect a whole lot of forward motion from a Biden administration. So much effort is going to be needed just to start repairing the damage Trump has done. That would be true no matter who the nominee was.

This.

Furthermore, demanding a MOVEMENT out of every candidate you support is dangerous, because movements run on emotion and emotion always runs out. Ask Obama how that went. He was elected on the biggest MOVEMENT in recent history, and passed a freaking national public health plan in America of places in his first year.…

Yeah, I’m often baffled at people looking square at the present day fascism rampant in the current administration, and then focusing on what happened 30-40 years ago (for Biden) or 10-15 years ago (for Harris)... when both have shifted significantly leftward, in line with the Democratic party as a whole, since those…

This needs more stars. 

There is a damn good reason people are concerned by the response.

I think one piece of the problem is hoping to feel excited or inspired by politics on an ongoing basis. It’s fantastic that as a first time voter you felt so inspired, but maybe that was more about the first time than the vote, know what I mean? Do you feel inspired by upholding your other civic responsibilities? Get…

I’m sorry. Maybe I’m in a bad mood (in fact I know I am), but what even is this about? I don’t understand how, as a Black woman, you can’t be completely excited about her nomination. I am a Black millennial who cried actual tears (!) when I voted for Obama in 2009 because I never thought I would see a viable, Black…

Here’s the thing about prosecutors: defense attorneys and judges alone cannot change the system. In many states, DAs are solely responsible for the charges so they’ll overcharge as a plea tool. The judges cannot toss these charges out and if you’re the defense attorney / defendant, you have to a risk a jury trial with…

Unless them grapes is still sour over Bernie all these months later.

If only Jezebel and Splinter had felt that way in 2016. 

Yeah right it’s the Biden/Harris team that killing Democracy in America. Not the guy threatning to postpone the election, who is sending secret federal police to snatch citizens into unmarked cars. The only people online criticising the Kamala VP pick are Trumpists, Bernie zealots and Russian troll/bots. Which are you?

I get it, and I don’t think that we should just unilaterally praise our preferred candidates. But we can’t make the conversation about that *right now*. The minute they get sworn in, you can 100% hold their feet (and all the other reps) to the fire until meaningful legislation is passed.
But the alternative is…

If black people flocked to Biden despite his racism, then Harris should be no problem for them. She was only enforcing and prosecuting shit that BIDEN started. Harris took Biden’s shit to the next level.
