I did a reverse Becky/Karen today! O yes I did!

He was an incumbent. He didn’t face a progressive.

Which is part of why every Dem presidential candidate since 1992 has been a conservative.

Oh for fuck’s sake. Look how many goddamn Black “leaders” were quick to endorse Bloomberg after taking his fucking money.

Elizabeth Warren spent most of her campaign polling in the single digits with black voters. Once you accept that, then the failure of her campaign was completely and utterly predictable. The same is true for Amy and Pete.

Sanders doesn't look "crazed, self involved, or shrill" because he's a white man in America. Elizabeth Warren has to work for a living.

“Who are the they?,” I asked.

And if she were a man, she’d probably be the media darling and a shoo-in for the race. But America isn’t, like, sexist or anything. Nah.

“Elizabeth Warren has some of the same policies that Bernie has,” Erianna Carlisle, 18, who considered voting for Warren, said after casting her ballot. “I just never connected to her, which sucks. She’s a woman. It would be great to have a woman in office. I just never got that connection with her. I just got it…

One interesting thing is that Warren is incredibly popular as a second choice, which both has ramifications for the final delegate count and is an interesting contrast to the wide-ranging antipathy Clinton generated.

Is it though? I mean the reason Obama and Trump won is because some people voted for both of them. Those types don’t catch me as middle of the road types. I’d be willing to bet that they voted for Obama and Trump 1st time around because they were against the grain and the 2nd time around - for Obama at least - because…

“Beyond that, it says only what we already knew, in that younger Democrats are more progressive, and more interested in large-scale structural reform than that promised by the moderates among the Democratic Party candidates. “

My mom regards AOC as some rebellious, mouthy teenager who “needs a spanking for all that back talk she’s made on Pelosi,” and I’m like she’s an adult woman, representing her convictions and constituents. She’s no different than the men who serve in Congress. My mom’s opinion is similar to her parenting style:…

Also, 99% of all political commentary as well.

My grandmother was worried I would turn out to be gay because, like, my mom let me wear a beret or something when I was 4. My dad was convinced Trump couldn’t win, no matter how hard I tried to explain it to him, and has been surprised that some of his white friends turned out to be shitty ass Trumpsters. A bunch of…

I think when anyone wants to deify a group of people, it just shows that they actually don’t have much exposure to them. The more you’re around people of all types the more you see them as just... people.

There seems to be an idea that older voters in general hold that the candidate who appears to be in the exact middle of all the candidates on both sides is by default the best candidate. I have had any number of older relatives and acquaintances happily identify Biden as that candidate to me. “He’s right in the…

This article is more beautiful than its subject.

Throwing things in a professional setting is b.s. I have called out employees who did the exact same thing (threw something, didn’t aim it at someone, but it hit them anyway) at my place of work.
