I think it may be one of those things that couples inevitably talk about but they clearly never did. Every couple (at least that I’ve been a part of) has that joking list of celebrities or whatever that they’d be allowed to fuck. It’s a good way to set boundaries on realistic interactions. He clearly had no such…

If having an amputee or a blind character is fetishism, Hiccup, Daredevil, Bucky Barnes, half of Deus Ex, etc are in trouble.
What if it was a deformed one arm teenage blinded boy?
Coming from Gawker, it took me a minute to realize you’re being sincere and lovely.
You have no idea how many times I’ve had this conversation but over Hawkeye. MCU why? Why you do this?
It’s not so much “against their own interests” as realizing decisions are not made in a vacuum. In the best of all possible worlds, it would be easy to convince people that socialism is not, in fact, the devil. It would be easy to show people that rising taxes doesn’t always mean that they’ll lose money. It would be…
Gamble on a self-described socialist with extremely progressive plans that would require hiking taxes. In the general election, those things don’t play great. Most minority voters feel that in order to pass anything, you have to get bipartisan support and obstructionist policies end up hurting those who have the most…
Don’t forget that Bill Clinton committed voter fraud to win her those extra 20k votes in Mass.
I don’t think it’s so much that they don’t fall for it as they have the ability and desire to gamble.
What confuses me is Sanders’ campaigning. He should be leaning into minority voters, but instead he’s focused his time on large rallies in majority white states where he knows he can win. His ads focus more on campaign finance and environmental reforms than immigration, guns, human rights, etc. I can’t tell if it’s…
To me, that’s the most disheartening. For all the excitement and venom, the turnout just hasn’t been there. That’s exactly what pundits and older voters were worried about, and that doesn’t bode well for the midterm elections. If Sanders does get the nomination, which is a bit of a longshot at this point, he has to…
When in doubt, look at the exit poll demographics and survey responses. Fivethirtyeight.com had a good breakdown of what states Sanders needed to win by what margins, and since then they’ve been updating their polls and comparing his progress among each demographic with previous projections and where he needs to be to…
Black voters under 30 also favor HRC. That’s what boosted her averages among young voters in SC and many of the Southern states. You’re not wrong about turnout though. 2 in 10 voters yesterday were 30+.
He looks at the fruit salad of the candidates to make his decision.
Fuck that. The real money is in running for president.
Actually, both Clinton and Sanders are good GE candidates compared to anyone on the Republican side according to recent, credible polls though it is hard to gauge this early out. Clinton’s great because she appeals across demographics, including the white vote which she hadn’t managed to get before.
Fair enough. There’s nothing wrong with that if he represents your causes.
No, I was just wondering if you had a better idea than I did of the path going forward. Right now Clinton is outpacing her projections by an average 16%, which is the equivalent of beating Sanders in a national poll by +16 points. Sanders has underperformed, mostly due to low youth voter turnout, overwhelming support…
I totally respect Sanders’ grassroots campaign and his raising of donations. The issue I see is that in some of the states he lost, he actually outspent the Clinton campaign, and after Super Tuesday. Going by 538's primary forecasts which have been really accurate so far, he’s got an uphill battle going forward with a…
