LOL, that’s completely besides the point. We’re capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time, and zero people are saying Pareene singlehandedly caused people to not vote. But if you had any kind of a public platform during the election and used it to say “lol nothing matters,” you probably shouldn’t be proud of…

I think the point was that maybe don’t use your platform read by a lot of Americans every day to bloviate about how ‘both parties are really the same, man, and my vote doesn’t actually matter anyway so fuck it!’ type of ideologies, especially if afterwards you are going to say shit like, ‘man can you believe how…

Can we all agree that Melania is no captive victim here? She may despise her disgusting beast of a husband, but she’s in on the insanity all the same.  

That was back in the Golden Age when we had a merely half-witted Congress and a smart President. Noe we have an actively evil Congress and a feces-throwing orangutan for a President.

Goddam. This lady has all the balls in Washington.

To answer your penultimate question, I’ll give you an old George Carlin quote:

Does anyone else take a periodic break from the news? I don’t want to bury my head in the sand, but each one of these stories (ranging from him being an insensitive moron to committing absolute atrocities) makes my brain hurt more and more. How did this ever happen? How did 63 million people vote for this 70 year old…

In previous years, when Dems were up for reelection, they would have to show that they’re willing to work with the Repukes in order to win. However, Gropenfuhrer is going to be so fucking toxic, so goddamn unpopular that the ones who will get primaried are the Dems that gave an olive branch to the GOP. Just my…

His body looks like it was formed from used cigarette butts and cheeze whiz.

Yeah, that’s the guy we want in charge of stuff, a low-rent Jabba the Hutt.

My apologies for putting this here, but Raineyb1013 decided the Dismiss button was the appropriate way to handle being confronted with reasoned rebuttals. If you’ll allow this to stay... all it is is one of my responses, calling them out for their quick judgment.

You’re still quoting a paraphrase. Yes, those are his words, but it’s a selected part of a larger statement. The author of the vanity fair article took that quote from somewhere. A direct interview? Probably not, as the article doesn’t claim to be an interview with Tyson. A quote from someone else’s interview? A quote…

blame the author of the article here for the paraphrases. Unless you’ve read an advance copy of the book, that is.

I think your anger is going in the wrong direction. The researcher has the responsibility to present his research unvarnished by personal opinions. This is the attitude he gathered in his research, not his personal opinion. This guy has spent his life researching, writing about, and educating people about white…

The criticism of under-representation of women of color and lack of acknowledgement of other protest movements is valid and necessary, but also in danger of being myopic and needlessly vindictive. While its true a large number of white women voters voted for Trump, its also true that a lot of AA voters, including…

Uh... you know that diverse groups have diverse opinions and people get to voice them. Progressive people tend to get this.

No they aren’t less than, and as liberals, we self sabotage when we start telling people you aren’t doing enough. It’s not enough for you to protest one issue unless you are out on the streets protesting every issue. You don’t have to explain yourself or justify yourself. You felt impassioned this weekend and that’s…

We definitely should voice our opinions and discuss our disagreements but we need to be unified when it counts. For instance, election day.

I’m of two minds on this. On one hand, yes, where was this level of visible outrage around black lives matter and standing rock? On the other hand, does the very nature of being a woman automatically include you in the outrage of ALL disenfranchised peoples? Is one only given “cred” when they express outrage and…

“....the centering of white women in the media and amongst themselves. The notion that the need for protest has “just begun” with the election of Donald Trump, too, was deserving of critique, particularly considering A) the Black Lives Matter and Standing Rock movements of the past several years and B) the entire…
