How exactly do you think a much stronger version would have gotten through? How much more political capital did you want them to spend to make the bill more progressive? It cost a ton of Democrats their careers as it is.

You know, I may not especially like everything about the ACA, but I know a lot of people who’ve benefited from it. Yeah, it was a compromise, but saying people should just go without health care until we can get the perfect bill passed is a position I’m willing to take.

To measure for sexism, you don’t measure a woman against another woman but a woman against an equal counterpart male. People hated Hillary for reasons true and false, and people tolerated Trump, wanting to give him a chance. They knew he’d do illegal things but hated her for the idea that she could do illegal…

No, no, it’s because the establishment only supports a increase to a 12$ minimum wage instead of 15$.

Am I the only person reading this who notices the absence of the word “woman” in this article? Here’s the central fact about the last presidential election: Hillary Clinton lost because of the millions of working-class morons who could not bring themselves to vote for a woman, even when her party’s the one that always…

the answer is simple: if you’re feeling the heat from her comment, that’s because you’re being targeted... and probably were never much of a feminist to begin with. if you’re like me, a feminist, then you can read her words and be like “yeah, i agree with this, i’d never call a woman that or verbally degrade her in…

What kind of feminist are you if you read that and your takeaway was that you are the victim of sexism now? You’re exactly the problem.

For my fellow dudes - How to be a true ally in 5 easy steps:

Clinton is a woman. Women have to be perfect if they are going to be leaders, otherwise who would follow them, other women?

The beat goes on. People continue to be locked into their bias. I think it’s going to take a generation to get people to see how messed up the internet has made things. Hopefully the generation that is growing up with it can realize that they need to break out of their bubbles.

I really should wait until Trump signs this into law, but since it is an inevitability:

All you have to do to understand the Republican Party is remember this simple little fact.

I honestly can’t believe people (on both sides of the aisle) are still blind to the huge difference in standards Clinton and Trump were held to. I mean, fuck. You had TWO FUCKING CHOICES and you decided to nitpick the one who isn’t a pile of rotten dicks. (not YOU you)

Capitalism is like building a campfire, and Dodd-Frank are the regulations that keep that campfire in check - you know - making sure the ground around the fire pit is clear, that there is a way to control or douse the flames etc. If you do this you get to make s’mores and roast marshmallows and tell bawdy jokes and…

The thing that strikes me the most on this is that Hillary accepting payments to speak to Wall Street firms was something she took a huge hit on. And yet, this. It’s like being pissed that your girlfriend is talking to some guy at a party, but you only see that because you stuck your head out of the bathroom…

FTFY

This is a fantastic love letter to a fantastic lady. That said, you referred to WMM as an amateur bondage enthusiast... I do not think there was anything amateur about his enthusiasm!

I’d say the latter. He’s always been the worst type of “progressive” white male — dripping with privilege he denies the existence of, vaguely contemptuous of anyone who espouses “identity politics” (i.e., cares about anything that doesn’t directly benefit white men), and casually (and sometimes not so casually) sexist…

So right.

I fucking loathe this smug jackass. I bet he’ll get a pass on this, while people were calling for the end of Kathy Griffin’s career the other day. We see one photo about one shitty person from someone who will never act on that bullshit vs. Maher throwing out a slur that hurts millions of Americans and will be copied-…
