There are no contracts as bad as recording contracts. But there is no labor as bad as slavery.

Oy, she is not a victim of slavery. She is a victim of a patriarchal arrangement; she is a victim of capitalism, which values ownership and propriety over labor. She is not anyone’s legal property, to be bought and sold, in the same manner as slaves. She receives remuneration for her labor, and was given the right to…

‘you can’t force someone to work...in a situation in which they don’t want to work,’

Dammit! We were so close to normalizing relations with Cuba.

Is it any surprise these people treat the political process like a UFC cage match now? The GOP debates literally started with slowly-rotating heads under high contrast lighting, stat-blocks of pertinent information on rivet-riddled rectangles of corrugated metal, and focus-group-tested slogans presented as grainy…

The fact that—in 2016—we allow these abuses to continue is beyond abhorrent.

The Hulk Hogan story wasn’t newsworthy. Not enough video-taped rape or homophobic blackmail, for Denton.

I’ve heard fair-weather liberals arguing that paid family leave is “unpragmatic” in the current climate. They’ve appropriated the entire right-wing lexicon, and it’s just sad.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree on Sanders: I can’t see him as “far left”. I’d say he’s about in line with the nation’s liberals: https://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2016

I do get out and vote for liberal causes. I can’t speak for other liberals. Also, I won’t stop blaming people for not believing in liberal causes; they are why the world is shitty sometimes.

The far left doesn’t exist in the United States. Extreme right-wing ideology has taken over the conversation, when it comes to economics, and it has framed centrism as “progress”.

You hate to see collate-ral damage like this.

Chicago’s fourth district is really nothing to fight over.

There’s no room for liberal voices among the Democrats, until after the election, anyway. Happens literally every election season. Then, after the elections are over, we wonder why social democracy hasn’t kicked in yet.

He’s only center-left because the entire nation continues to shift economically rightward, without anyone speaking up.

Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

Jane is an unparalleled liberal bad ass, whose continuous advocacy for human rights doesn’t come with fanfare or a press junket. She does this shit because she wants to.

So the real killer is still out there somewhere!

I only hope that post-Presidency Obama stays active as long as possible. One of the best Presidents of the last 50 years—in terms of passion, intelligence, and bringing dignity and poise back to the Office.
