See, I think you're wrong there. I think the Republican leadership thinks the Republican base wants a loony right winger as their standard bearer, because of a loud but reasonably small minority of Republican voters. If they got over that and ran a moderate Republican (which makes more sense in early primary states an…

We'll find out soon enough.

Whatever helps you sleep at night doll, I don't vote or support either party. But you're about to get 8 years of Republicans controlling two branches of government because your party shit the bed when it got the white house.

She's competant. I don't trust her at all (nothing new there for a President though). She'd probably do well with European foreign policy, but Russia and the Middle East would be a problem because their leadership would not respect her. Particularly as she'd be likely to do something stupid like appoint Susan Rice…

I like to think that in a different universe where Chaney wasn't on the ticket Dubya would have been an alright president. But yeah, it would be nice to get to vote for a John Huntsman or Gary Johnson.

We'll find out. They didn't show up in 2010, or 2004.

They won't show up for a white woman in a presidential election. Not in anywhere near the numbers they did for Obama.

Well, only one candidate can make it past the primaries so that isn't saying much. And if you think the country as a whole still has that much antipathy towards Bush that it would carry over to his brother, you're out of touch. The 2004-2006 levels of anger at Bush have dissipated for most of the country, or…

Won't take much. Jeb Bush could probably do it. Even Christy would have a shot, as people like him and Bridge Gate will be forgotten by then.

Nah, Romney is the Republican's Hillary; a core of the party in Washington really wanted to elect him, but most of the party was indifferent at best and the rest of the country didn't like him. Just like Hillary.

She's a beard. He's gay. This isn't terribly complicated.

Oh, did my use of heteronormative language trigger you due to the cis-centric lexicography of rape culture's influence on the dialectic? Eat a dick if you can't support your ideas without resort to $10 academic buzzwords that define concepts that don't have real world corollaries.

Blacks and Latinos won't vote in game-changing numbers. Neither will young people. And there's not going to be any swing of moderate Republicans for Hillary, they are all pretty sick of Obama. It's going to be a pendulum shift election.

Yeah actually. If the republicans run pretty much any white dude in a suit who doesn't literally shit himself during a debate, he'll win. Obama lost the white vote, badly, both times. Without him on the ticket, blacks and Latinos aren't going to show up to vote, and Hillary will go down in flames.

That's a lot of words to say "women shouldn't be expected to have agency, make their own decisions and embrace the positive or negative consequences of their actions, or be treated like adults." Why do you infantilize women?

Use of the word "patriarchy" in an actual conversation means you are so far up your own ideological ass you're about to hit your tonsils.

Find me a single one of these accounts where anything other than these women's own thoughts and emotions prevented them from noping the fuck out of the situation. Every single account this site has posted has basically said "I was just so surprised and flabergasted that I went along with it, then I left."

I think that point is totally unsupported in the article and designed to generate clicks. It's still at the the far end of the fetish spectrum, beyond all the normal extra-hardcore or fetish stuff. It's akin to BDSM involving piercing play.

You must be such fun at parties.
