Reminds me of when my wife, who’s Hispanic and an attorney who graduated from a top law school, went to a family baby shower where she played boggle with a bunch of middle aged white ladies (in-laws of a cousin). Unintentionally, she utterly wrecked them, and apparently got some really weird reactions.

None of this is surprising to me; and I agree that she probably, genuinely does not think her comments were racist. However, you always have to remind certain whypipo, that it’s very likely that such things would not have been said about a white person (in this case a white opponent)...and that’s what makes it racist.…

Didn’t Hillary Clinton herself say that her supporters were more butthurt in 2008 regarding Obama, than Sanders people were in 2016?

My “favorite” is how working-class people are somehow only white. Who’d a thunk it?!

Trump can’t read.

I really, really wish Tammy Duckworth was eligible to run. She’s a minority female who also happens to be a disabled veteran. That ticks so many boxes it should be a no brainer.

Agreed. He is too old. We need a younger candidate in the 40-50 age range. The Sandersbase should work to keep up enthusiasm and Bernie should be looking at the Democrat ranks with an eye to endorsing a younger candidate from the get go.

I get that no one can be 100% right on every issue, and I’m sure I have blind spots of my own. But enthusiastic support for Black Lives Matter needs to be one of the core precepts of American liberalism. Anything less is contrary to basic human rights and decency.

The thing is, the media successfully painted BLM as a terrorist hate group. While it’s no secret the last thing people want to be is self-conscious, engage in critical thinking without bias, or risk hurting their egos, it will always, ALWAYS be easiest to demonize minorities instead.

Read it. Didn’t change a thing, ya know I’m not normally a violent woman but dammit there’s just something about her face... must be the treason.

Yes it’s so infuriating that ball-kicking is considered OFF LIMITS. If men don’t want to be kicked in the balls, maybe they should stop ASKING FOR IT by doing fucked-up shit that makes you have to kick them in the balls!

This is so good. And mirrors so much of what I feel. Hopeless and angry and just so fucking full of rage at the class of men that I don’t know what to do with myself.

Oh darling I expect gerrymandering and voter suppression will ensure their are no Democrats able to vote in ‘18.

Yeah, but in the meantime the GOP has two years of essentially unfettered access to fuck up EVERY. FUCKING. LITTLE. BIT. OF. PROGRESS. WE. HAVE. MADE.

I feel like this has irreparably damaged the office of POTUS, tbh. It used to be prestigious, and you had to work for it for decades, postition yourself, gain knowledge and skill and directly-related experience. Now we’ve elected a reality tv star with no ability to form a coherent paragraph, much less policy, and…

Midterms. For the love of God, people, destroy the Republicans in 2018.

'What's so new about what you're saying?

To be honest, anything a Baby Boomer says to me is automatically suspect. You idiots spent 50 fucking years sucking off the system and giving nothing back. You've left us all with a hollowed out infrastructure and a flattened financial system. So thanks for that. Don't worry, though. Your kids will clean up your mess…

Yes, but I don't think you graduated with essentially a debt equivalent to owning a house. This from a baby boomer.

Boomers caused both bubbles. They are the ones controlling the money supply and the interest rates and they are the ones that decided that investments should be made into various industries. And they are the ones that will soon retire and have the power to suck this country dry.
