.... Why are you surprised she fought so hard against it? She wasn’t trying to hide what was in the speeches, she was fighting against the stupid double standard that had strong undertones of “how dare the uppity lady get paid lots of money to speak to a group who is willing to pay her lots of money to hear words come…

So I was just reading The Atlantic’s endorsement of Hillary just now. Obviously most of it focuses on why Trump shouldn’t be elected, and my favorite part was “he appears not to read.” I can’t wait for November to get here and see him defeated.

Thank you.

How is Hillary Clinton not destroying these people?

Because the appearance of impropriety in a woman is more of a threat than actual evidence of impropriety in a man. This is known.

I think it’s more of the too-cool-for-school anti-intellectualism. And it annoys the fuck out of me. Dog forbid you wander intellectually, and don’t self-deprecate enough - especially as a woman. One more fucking knife edge women have to walk: be smart but not too smart or else you’re a show-off, think but not too…

I don’t get it. I just really don’t. I voted for Bernie. I hyped him up as much as I could to everyone who’d listen. I donated. I love the progressive politics.

Don't wait for November. Start by writing your Congresspeople NOW and demanding confirmation for the President's SCOTUS nominee.

That really was the dumbest part of what he wrote. Balance for the sake of balance is not a virtue, and it’s not a map toward progress, either. If we just automatically alternate between liberal and conservative, we’ll get a cycle of each new administration working to undo what the last did rather than move forward to…

Yup, Hitler didn’t come to national prominence because no one voted for him. That’s the problem with painting Hitler as the personification of evil - it excuses the real evil, the evil of people who either ignore injustice or do injustice because they are following orders. Trump is showing us who he is and yes it is…

Really?

As a Latina also supporting Hillary: expect nothing but contempt from white commenters here. They know what’s better for us and they are baffled that we dare to think for themselves and have reasons to vote for Hillary. How can we? They know what is better and they don't agree. We must be ignorant!

Please do elaborate on my interests? Because Income inequality isn’t fixing racism and the supposition that it will is ignorant as all hell. Like it’s literally infuriating. As is the fact that Sanders voted for the same crime bill that they like to throw in HRC’s face. I’m old enough to remember the crack epidemic…

Can you imagine if everything women could eventually regret was made illegal? The first thing that came to mind was seeing The Revenant in the theaters. Also? White jeans. Trendy haircuts. Hooking up with Dave in college.

Black Katie is Jewish! Now Asian Jules is Jewish! What a world!

We need more AARP-level news in Dirt Bag, so here’s an item about Diane Sawyer being spotted canoodling with her ex, Bill Bradley

JUST GONNA SIT OVER HERE CRYING GUYS. I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve owned both cats and dogs and losing them opens up a hole in your heart that can shock you, especially if you aren’t prepared for the pain. You did a great thing by providing him with a home while he was here. You’re good people.

Madeline Albright is 78 years old. She was born in fucking 1938 in fucking Czechoslovakia until FUCKING HITLER forced her family into exile in England during the Holocaust (in which THREE of her Grandparents died). She lived through the blitz in London, hiding under a metal fucking table during Nazi bombings.

Why do you think we haven’t had a woman as president yet?” First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton asked her guest over their lunch at the White House in 1995.
