I agree completely. Women have reached the point where we don’t need men to stay out of poverty or navigate our way through society, but men haven’t accepted that they need to step up to the plate and that their old behavior isn’t good enough.

Yeah, enslaved in marriages that have the wife doing most of the housework and childcare so they get to have career and family. These men haven’t changed and decided not to be “enslaved” dude. The problem is they haven’t changed at all and women don’t wanna do everything and have no careers so they don’t find them…

why are the men (boys) so scared of everything? like seriously. why are they scared of growing older and committing to one partner? i don’t fucking get it.

I never wanted children, but if I had...man,that would suck. I can’t think of anyone I ever dated who would have made a suitable parent. It just seemed like I would have been giving up so much and doing just about everything myself even with a partner, and I wouldn’t want to do that. Women today want full partners,and…

Maybe I’m misreading but the 15% seem like good reasons and don’t necessarily reflect poorly on anyone?  New relationship? Probably shouldn’t rush to kids.  Both aren’t ready? Probably shouldn’t rush.  Though I do get if these women we’re feeling the run around but I don’t see anything in the article that states that. 

If they want these people to assimilate more why don’t they offer free schooling for the whole families. Language courses, Civics courses and perhaps job/technical training for adults and teens? These seem like better things to help assimilation and economic independence for people. Breaking language barriers and…

Exactly.  I have the same thought about what’s going on in the ICE detention centers.  You rip a kid away from his parents and make him live in a cage with no social contact?  You’re basically making a sociopath.

How on earth do these ungrateful young Muslims get radicalized? ask the people who enact these horrors, with a total lack of self-understanding.

Deep Space Nine is the best Trek around, sharing that honor with about 50% of TOS and The Next Generation from season 3 forward.

1981 here too.. I prefer the Oregon Trail Generation.

First of all, Democrats all over the country are trying to break through the media’s exhaustive 24/7 Trump coverage to talk about real issues. At this point no one is relishing having to devote time to that orange turd. Second of all, has anyone ever managed to convince their racist uncle of anything? It’s a noble…

Wonder what that cusp will get called and how it’ll be characterised?

I mean, what do you think Republicans can do to win California? Or New York? Sometimes “nothing” is the only accurate answer. Democrats need to spend less time chasing after people who fundamentally do not want progressive government, and work more on activating non-voters.

Voter registration efforts. In my state, Texas, there’s already a majority minority, but whites still represent 60% of the vote. A lot of it has to do with intentional voter suppression, but a lot has to do with the fact that democrats completely abandoned the state decades ago.

It’s a tool used to dismiss people by the older generation that is holding onto power with a death grip. It’s why adult women are called girls. It’s all dismissive and patronizing. But yes, it’s also lazy stereotyping.

And she’s funny and actually understands being online.

AMEN. The fact that they are talking about what they think can and can’t win an election with instead of *what they actually believe in* is the entire problem.

I agree. I like Duckworth too and was disappointed that she said this.

Right?  Hannity had this big bullet point list about her policies and talked about them like they were a bad thing.  I took one look at that list and was like, sounds good to me!

Honestly though, what is the real difference between saying ‘Mexicans are rapists’ and ‘people from muslim countries can’t be trusted’ and what Russel Walker is saying? Give it a couple years and ‘The White Supremacist Party’ will be the official GOP motto, instead of the unofficial one.
