I don’t think it’s that they’ve forgotten. but rather the split in this case has gone on way too long. In TV series, you don’t have the benefit of written fiction’s more leisurely pacing, and you have to drag things out longer than a movie. There’s a time factor and expectation unique to TV. That can mean several…

You didn’t sound judgemental to me. It’s just important to remember that the public image is so often not the reality, as it sounds like you know. It is sad to imagine he might have been struggling with that privately.

Isn’t the story even creepier because it was posted by an alleged older sexual harasser looking for young college feminists? I actually wish she’d look into it more.

Uh. No? Feminism is about breaking down gender rolls, especially third wave. That’s why they’ve done so much work fighting for things like changing the FBI’s definition of rape to include male victims and penetrative sex of all kinds. Any feminist who tells a guy to man up unironically isn’t being a very good…

Have you seen the hashtag currently trending on Twitter #WhatYouDontSee ? It’s about depression, but it underscores the fact that people can seem perfectly happy and normal while suffering from a myriad of problems, especially regarding addiction and mental illness. I’m not saying any of these rumors are true, but…

My mom had a pretty amazing experience that finally made her retire from one of her positions. She found out that all five of her male colleagues were getting paid more than she was. She’d also been there the longest and had way more experience than any of them, not to mention more certifications, worked more hours,…

Just like they always say, those ladies will just start crying or fall in love with you. You know how it is!

I heard they were worried about Castro’s credentials. He’s great, but he doesn’t have a lot of experience yet. Cabinet positions though, no doubt.

There is no goddamn way they can handle a bear invasion. Why didn’t we think of the dangers before?!

You are so very welcome. Really, it’s my pleasure.

Exactly. They forget that ESPN et al. have just as much right to disagree and express their disapproval. Especially when they’ve made things crystal clear to him in the past.

I know, right? It’s like someone can’t even say something bigoted and demeaning toward marginalized peoples without other people calling them a bigot anymore!

Most contracts have something like morality clauses, where if you do or say something that makes your employer look bad, especially as a public figure, you’ll get fired or punished for it. Remember, freedom of speech protects you from censorship by the government. It doesn’t protect you from people being just as free…

The poor MSNBC guy was so desperately trying to get him to think about what he was saying, but nope.

It’s not about that though. It’s about what COULD have been. Sanders does better with Independents, so clearly it’s a ~*conspiracy*~

Do you mean the independents? Because yes. I think the purged votes, there wasn’t a documented reason for them being purged and some people just didn’t show up in the registry at all and that was the issue? I’ll be honest here. I haven’t looked into it too hard for exactly what you’re saying.

It isn’t. It isn’t ever. Even the pundits were using it as an example of his “likeability problem.” I assume that was code for his face.

YOU DON’T OWN ME SHILLARYBOT

That’s why I said it’s bad for Clinton as well. You’re totally right. I suspect the people who think it’s some pro-Clinton conspiracy are the same people who think Clinton made the upstate polls open at noon just for this primary.

No, he seriously said he wanted to force a contested convention, presumably even if Clinton leads in popular votes and delegates based on poll results. It was weird enough that MSNBC is still freaking out about it a little and Twitter blew up.
