No, I understand you perfectly. I was just musing on the physiology of that Duggar woman and how that would work in a polyandry situation. From a purely biological standpoint, it doesn’t make any sense. Fun to speculate, though.

If we revamp our marriage laws to allow people to marry more than one person at a time, I think we need to take into consideration how to protect the marriage contract of the initial spouse(s) while still making sure the marriage contracts of subsequent spouse(s) are equally protected. We also need to make sure it is…

The fact that the arguments are not applied equally (you don’t see these people arguing for one woman’s right to have several husbands) is a big part of it for me.

First off, she just announced the pregnancy. We’re not owed any details just b/c she’s famous. Full stop. Secondly, we don’t know that the dad’s identity is a secret, just that it’s not public.

Calm. Down. People have a right to vote or in our country's case not vote. I would not push anyone to vote just cause for my candidate or any candidate because I think that's unreasonable. Particularly because the shit you should be more concerned about is local and state politics, the ones who are actually passing…

Stuff like this isn’t helping your cause. Insulting people doesn’t endear them to your cause. As it stands both H-Dog and her supporters are doing their best to ensure I stay home in November.

you can’t *really* think sanders voters not voting for hillary in the general will cost her the election, right???

um....Far be it from me to call the guy who attacked Obama in 2008 with this totally race neutral remark:

Do you really think black people haven’t considered what a Trump presidency would be like? Or are you just being condescending? Our parents and grandparents lived under versions of Trump and watched them murder empower the murderers of the Moores, MLK Jr., Malcolm X, and Fred Hampton in cold blood. We…

If your candidate’s selling point is “better than Trump”, you’re not going to court a liberal voting bloc. Voting for the “lesser of the evils” gives you Nixons and Bushes, and it always will. Conservatives vote Republican primarily out of loyalty. Moderates vote Democrat primarily out of loyalty. Liberals need a…

But people have been protesting Trump, why are you acting like they have not? People have shut down his rallies and have been assaulted and racial abused by his supporters.

The Clintonian identity politicking has always been fairly racist. It involves shouting, “We can’t get rid of racism, until X happens.” Which, paradoxically, involves, “We can’t do X, until we solve racism.” It is a series of impotent centrist triangulations meant to delay social democracy indefinitely. It is a…

You can understand why it seems a bit tone deaf thrust in the direction of a POC writer in the context of an article about a white former president shouting down a BLM protester about mass incarceration?

You’re invoking the holocaust? This is just insane. Your evidence is not “scientific” it’s just a bunch of people I don’t care about talking about Hillary. She set herself apart from Obama by being more pro-Israel. That’s insane. The us is already pro-Israel but she thinks it’s not enough. If you think the current…

From what I’ve seen upthread, I got one wacko hillaryis44 impersonator crowing about how admired by celebrities Clinton is and how much of a doer she is. I never said I would stay home, I’ll vote for the candidate who aligns with my views. We’re not in a scenario yet where Clinton is the nominee, despite so many…

“Praise for Hillary”... That’s your Real Evidence... Clinton is an “admired woman”? Where’s the poll that shows she’s a socialist, cause that what I’m actually interested in, not what Morgan Freeman and Neil Diamond think. What is this evidence of? Does it counteract Clintons’s interventionism as Secretary of State?…

Nah that’s not really what I said. I said Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate and no one has offered me any reasons to the contrary.

Well certainly in your concocted maximalist scenario, the choices are very clear! But what if it’s not an accurate scenario? It’s interesting that I’m always forced into the least worst option, it’s almost like it’s by design of the electoral system, and not just happenstance! Is your ideal of a democracy where you’re…

He’s not stupid, no, but he does have a temper...and a huge ego. What happened yesterday was 100% about defending his own legacy. In his desire to rush to defend his actions, he forgot he was up there to help his wife get elected.

Both of the Clintons have received campaign money from private prison lobbies for years. It’s not all that surprising to me that Bill has these views. I’d like to hope that Hillary is less so, but she promised she’d stop accepting funds from private prison lobbies last year and didn’t. She gets the same amount of…
