Despite all of the stupid comments you’re receiving, I stand with you.

The trend is disgusting. I mean, look at it. Look at how it’s always women being targeted. And yet, there’s always some con-fucking-venient excuse about why they “deserved” it.

No. Fuck this.

It’s arrogant how Hillary supporters think we owe her a vote when income inequality is the single biggest issue facing this country.

I’m not naïve enough to not know that. What is my alternative? That was my whole point of saying it is survival voting. Survival means you take the only choice that keeps you alive, not that you take the one that makes you flourish. I think what troubles me with the pro-Bernie crowd that says they would never vote for

I’m so sorry that choice was not left up to you. But on the bright side, you don’t have to be tied to that asshole for the rest of your life. Silver lining :)

I quit smoking two weeks ago, and these people are seriously testing my resolve. Next smug douche who tells me he (of course) will be abstaining to “teach the DNC a lesson” if Bernie doesn’t get the nomination will be held personally responsible for my relapse.

You’re the only one that has actually been reporting on this stuff which is shocking. though I also feel like if we don’t have a discussion about this now, then this will be forgotten in a day and it will happen again. We also should not forget about the others before this either. I am still disappointed in this

Nonsense. If the election turns out that she is WELL ahead and there really is no chance he will win, then OK I can see it. Or if you are not in a swing state. But do not underestimate your movement’s ability to turn an election based on a small number of votes. How many times do we need to learn that lesson? If you

Why are all the sane people people I don’t know IRL? I agree with this entirely: in the primaries, you get to pick between rocky road and butter pecan ice cream. At the convention, you find out whether rocky road or butter pecan are going on further, based in theory on a consensus of people who agree that ice cream is

I think polls show that most Democrats generally like Clinton and Sanders and would have no problem voting for either. And most Sanders supporters would certainly vote for Clinton if she wins the nomination. The loudest voices on the Internet just happen to be the stubborn ones, and they dominate the conversation.

You could say she already was. Imagine knowing that thing was in your house and you were stuck with it until it was old enough to grow its orange exoskeleton and skitter away on its own.

I just bitched someone out on a different Trump post for those same “Hillary is just as bad!” bullshit sentiments. I have lost all my abilities to even when it comes to these people. I am ALL ABOUT voting for whomever you want in the primaries, but anyone who pouts and stays home in November if it’s Hillary is someone

Yes, tell me some more, SUSAN, why progressives who are upset if Bernie doesn’t get the nomination should vote Trump or stay home. Oh wait, how bout instead you just go fuck yourself.

“There has to be some form of punishment,” Trump said. “For the woman?” Matthews asked. “Yeah,” Trump said, nodding.

I find it hilarious that they’re all up in arms about not being able to trust him now that he released this video. Like, we can’t trust the guy who released a video of his friend confessing to cheating, but we can totally trust the guy who cheats on a woman he’s about to vow to love and honor for the rest of his life.

Um, I’d just like to speak up as someone with fibromyalgia here, with some medical literacy. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 2 years after I developed rheumatoid arthritis. However, before my fibro diagnosis I actually thought I was simply going into another episode of depression (and simply had returned to

But people don’t want to hear that they’re depressed

Most MDs, myself included, would agree behind closed doors that chronic lyme, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome, as they are commonly diagnosed, are all different manifestations of depression.

Exactly. I’ve had to fight doctors to get basic tests on several occasions. It’s not because I am a hypochondriac; it’s because I actually have problems! I had one doctor kick me out of the hospital because there was “nothing wrong with me.” I lost my job because I was in severe pain at all times and used up all my

And sometimes a depression is not a depression but a symptom. I got misdiagnosed for a long time - my ‘depression’ was caused by untreated and, in the end, out of control hyperthyroidism (Graves). At one point I thought I was losing my mind, I started to see things that weren’t there. Thank god they finally found the

Seriously. This cannot be said enough - some doctors do blame the patient if they don’t know. (And this applies to many things, not just Lyme). It makes me so angry - one dead relative and one almost dead- both from cancer that was not caught. In relative 1 it was “in his head” and relative 2 “it was a flu” (that
