Juniors volleyball has its fair share of predatory coaches, as well. I can think of four that I came across as a player and a coach. For two of them, it was basically an “open secret” that they would sleep with players.

We can now welcome a new sport to the running list of professional athletic pursuits troubled by allegations of sexual violence. Hello, volleyball. You are an...unexpected addition.

Male athlete entitlement is universal.

Funny how all those issues seem to effect people who aren't white, male, or straight, isn't it? They should really learn to wait for their turn, huh?

I agree. And no, it would've. We as s country need to make healthcare a human rights issue. I just wanted to point out that it does help some people but not enough that is for sure.

Not just control: supermajorities. 67 senate seats, 290 house seats. None of them DINOs. It’s almost impossible until after 2020, when we’ll redistrict again. Even then, it’s almost impossible.

Ok, quickly was the wrong word. Eventually? Begrudgingly?

They came around pretty quickly. I was a PUMA, if we’re being fully honest, so I get the frustration that a lot of people in the Bernie camp feel. It made it that much easier to finally vote for Obama when a) she endorsed him wholeheartedly, b) nominated him at the convention, c) McCain chose Palin at VP.

You’re saying she doesn’t care about votes. Her campaign does lots of work with various communities, with small groups, she has worked her ass off for people in various contexts over the years - I don’t get how that’s not caring about voters and votes.

This is the thing that has been so frustrating about this primary season. Bernie gets to promise shit he can’t deliver upon and doesn’t get challenged on it at all. Hillary can’t challenge him because she is not supposed to alienate his supporters. His supporters lack the critical thinking skills to challenge him. The…

My understanding is that he wants “Medicare for all,” rather than build on the ACA. The ACA stays in place as he tries to get Medicare expanded to everyone, I’m assuming. My issue with this is devoting time and energy to a policy that can’t be passed with the end goal to scrap something that is working and can be…

And how many people can they help if they're not in a position of power? Who can they save if they're not in office? Throwing away everything they can do over something that's not getting done either way doesn't help anyone

It’s the underpants gnomes’ policy strategy:

Agreed, but if you are not willing to help fundraise or campaign for down ticket races, then you can’t pass any laws necessary for universal health care or free college.

Yep. And writing letters to your congressman, and showing up to neighborhood/town hall meetings, and reading the boring parts of the paper, etc... it’s all a bore. But it’s important! And IT WORKS, but not if you don’t put in the hours.

Yeah, the same masses who made sure he won the primary?

And it took a lot of fighting to get what we have, it would be a bloodbath to get universal healthcare and it would require democratic control of both houses.

Hahahaha so poor people should just die quietly then so our Congressmen can stay in office and have health insurance.

Oh, he’d just talk about the revolution. His peers in Congress would HAVE to vote for universal healthcare because otherwise all his supporters will rise up and vote them out of office! (Never mind that he’s counting on the revolution to come from a bunch of people that can’t be bothered to vote in the midterm…

Congressional Democrats have already said that they are not going to throw their collective careers on the sword to rehash healthcare. What good will it do Hillary to promise something that she literally knows she cannot deliver. I wish just once she would stand up in public and ask him which of his Congressional…
