This is what I don’t get. Do people who oppose raising minimum wage not realize that by letting companies like Wal-Mart pay unliveable wages, they are agreeing to make up the difference with their taxes? Or do they want to simultaneously keep the minimum wage unliveable and get rid of welfare benefits/the ACA, and…

SHOCKED. I’m SHOCKED that a group of people who have displayed a limited understanding of political efficacy and the systems of American democracy would throw a temper tantrum that could possibly undermine their supposed savior candidate’s political organizing effort! S H O C K E D.

To start off - your “counter-argument” is to reduce anyone who disagrees with safe spaces as being upset that they can’t be politically incorrect. That is an ad hominem argument that has no standing, in college or the real world.

As an almost 40 something liberal bi chick... I am fucking sick of seeing “trigger warning” in front of every story I read. It is up to me to deal with my shit. I have been through REAL crappy stuff and part of dealing with things is to confront it. College classrooms, for the most part, ARE safe spaces. Debates have…

As a 29 year old millennial, I can’t abide apologist pussies in my generation. Political incorrectness is covered in free speech, the most important right that we have. Safe spaces and trigger warnings are merely accepted terms for censorship.

Oh my god. Honestly I’m pretty glad I graduated college before Tumblr was a thing...

Check out what kind of trigger warnings appear on some of the more ambitious thinkpieces out there on tumblr and further afield, and you’ll see why people are complaining.

I have had this happen to me as well. I can’t say that this is always how it works but it was clear to me that the student who pulled this on me just simply didn’t want to have to deal with the film I was showing. I say this because the week before I showed a film where she was amongst the students who complained that…

The Waltons are a special kind of scum.

they wouldn’t have to have food drives for their own employees.

If only they donated that much to employee’s paychecks.

Yeah, that’s a terrible example, but I think the point that the “real world” does not adjust to you is valid. I think a better point would be the UChicago student I saw today deriding the lack of trigger warnings for spiders in a bio textbook given that he has arachnophobia. The spiders in your cupboard do not care…

As a college professor I can only speak from my experience and here it is: trigger warnings are used by students mainly as a way of getting out of work or for not having to read literature that they don’t want to. In legit cases (such as a veteran fresh from Afghanistan who didn’t want to watch a segment of Band of…

I’m a younger millennial, and are you joking? Safe spaces might be valid but the discussion over them has certainly been cartoonized both by their detractors and supporters and to ignore this fact and the fact that they’re used to browbeat dissent only hurts any attempt to fix social issues.

Imagine the same policy told to the delicate flowers of Oberlin...

oh, millenials are going to "fix" things. can't wait for that.

You’re splitting hairs. Bernie keeps putting Weaver in charge of his shit knowing full well what Weaver’s MO is. At some point, you have to accept the fact that Weaver is doing exactly what Bernie wants him to do.

Your snow white purity impresses everyone you meet.

Jeff Weaver is the Andy Dick of campaign managers. He is the kiss of death. He was the worst thing about the Sanders campaign.

Continuing the Sanders campaign financing terribleness, I see.
