There’s no need to invalidate the experiences of others. This isn’t a contest.

Perhaps when trans people are routinely marginalized, murdered, abused, beaten, cast out, and discriminated against there’s a legitimate need to fight for acceptance. It’s hard for me to understand why you think someone simply fighting for the right to exist in peace and safety is acting out of entitlement given how…

Any time the police are using their limited resources to catch murderers and rapists rather than kids jamming out in in the parking lot of the Grateful Dead tribute band show is OK in my book.

Esther Wang (the author) isn’t some Bernie Sanders advocate. Check her post history. This is about all the candidates who are automatically dismissed by Democratic power structures as “unelectable” because they’re not white, male, and what would have been considered “centrist” 30 years ago, and how out of touch with…

Being “old” or “white” or “male” in and of itself isn’t really the point I was making, and I personally would vote for a good candidate who is an old white male over a bad candidate who isn’t. A person’s genitalia, age, or race don’t matter as much as whether or not they inspire voters, etc. It’s what’s on the inside,…

Preach! And let’s get real, when AOC speaks the whole world listens because her words are a beacon of light that inspires us to action. To win elections you’ve got to win hearts and minds. Real leaders are not installed by the people at the top, they grow armies through acts of heroism and selflessness. People like…

It’s not about “dismissing” the idea of electability, it’s that the attributes of electability are not what many older established democrats think they are anymore. We’re witnessing a sea change in politics. Being an old milquetoast man espousing the politics of several decades ago (politics which don’t inspire people…

“This primary to me is not about policy. It’s about beating Trump...It’s not about who’s going to make the best president.”

These are “retro”? Holy shit. I’m old.

The problem with Mayor Pete is he has no policy positions. Don’t believe me, check out his website. There’s literally no policy section. He dodges most policy questions in interviews. He refuses to be pinned down on even the most basic questions, which is concerning.

Buttigieg’s talent, intellect, and mild charm have been on display more than his actual policy agenda (and when his policy agenda is on display, it’s either unremarkable or disappointing).

Or maybe now is the time to weed out candidates that are going to be problematic in the general. You know, before it’s too late. If people have concerns now, just imagine how that’s going to play out once the Republican spin machine starts intentionally exploiting those concerns. 

Ashley Reese is not a Sanders advocate. Check her post history.

Just generally, Joe Biden doesn’t seem to have great rhetorical skills or an aptitude for interfacing with the public. Isn’t that sort of important if one wants to be president? More importantly, isn’t that particularly important if there is an urgent imperative to win an election against the Mango Mussolini, a guy…

Dear Rod Rosenstein,

Christian Dior could rise from the grave to design this commemorative egg, render his magnum opus in egg form, and it would still be a monstrosity if it contained the phrase “Be Best”. However you slice it, this egg is a monument to idiocracy.

Didn’t Pete Davidson just have a brush with suicide? How about a little empathy for people with mental illness? Jesus Christ. I mean come on. I thought this was supposed to be a progressive site. Now you’re shaming people with a disease, who are already unfairly shamed and stigmatized by society, for needing the help…

I have empathy for her in that she was also an assault victim, and that probably played into why she was so emotional. But it felt more like she was defending the ruling class than anything else. She said something to the effect of, “If you’re going to go up against the Senate you better have plenty of evidence”, as…

Can we talk about how on the same episode Camille Grammer shouted all the other assault victims at the table down in defense of Brett Kavanaugh? She basically told a table of older women, who didn’t come forward right away after their assaults, that women who don’t come forward right away are lying. Her behavior was…

Christine Blasey Ford is a goddamn American hero and will always be remembered as such. Kavanaugh, on the other hand, will always be a pathetic sniveling creep whose passing will be marked by relief that the stain of injustice which is his judgeship has finally been washed clean from the courts.
