In this capacity, politicians are losing their power to use our identities to control us. What we’re witnessing are the violent death throes of a highly stratified society built upon scapegoating, xenophobia, “otherness”, and racial and gender divides: A society that can no longer use those tools to oppress us.

Socialism that is not also feminist will fail. Anyone who claims to support social democracy ought to understand that workers’ rights and civil rights are unattainable without unifying rhetoric; this includes Bernie’s supporters.

I’ve always though “shill” was a funky word. It doesn’t even precisely mean “She benefits too heavily from corporate donors.” Does it mean she’s a plant or something? I don’t even know. I’ve never seen the word “shill” written without the following formatting: “$HILLARY FOR PRI$ON 20XXghazi”.

I don’t think a feminist uses the term “whore”, and I think feminists should use feminists to help them deliver their points. If “superpredator” is a racist dog-whistle (and I think it is), then “whore” is definitely a sexist one.

You think the coverage is biased, then. Or rather, not consistently liberal. That might be a fair point. I think we do focus too much on identity politicking, and maybe Sanders supporters are so focused on achieving a liberal end that some have stopped caring about the means.

What kind of spin is this? In what way was Joanna’s article pro-Bernie? It was almost excessively plain-spoken about giving the ol’ man a well-earned jab in the ribs.

I love bullshit. I got the day off; it’s why I’m here. ‘ _> ‘

No, BBC, this is something too. Making comments with your buddy about “colored people time” is the “I’m not touching you!” of politically-deniable racist bullshit and I called it out too. Saying shit like “superpredators”, getting cozy with Kissinger, supporting either caucuses or superdelegates as a means of…

Being that he’s a devout liberal, I had a distinct feeling he’d get to it and I’m glad he did. Thanks for the follow-up.

It’s a gendered insult, at its core. It exists for no purpose than to demean women for not being the right kind of woman, and to demean men for being like any kind of woman at all.

What kind of normal human being even whips out the word “whores” to use, unless they have some bizarre sexist way that they view a very real problem in government? It’s not a common word. It shouldn’t leap to mind for anyone, except those who conflate sexuality with corruption on a very core level. It’s not even…

While there may not be empirical evidence that the state agencies have ever done anything, we have faith that they exist.

Hola! ¡Bienvenida a la Nación Vaporizador!

I don’t know if you’re watching CNN right now, but if you’re not, make sure you ask your doctor about LYRICA®. LYRICA® has been effective at treating nerve and muscle pain, including fibromyalgia. Keep watching all of this interesting election coverage, start to finish; but for the love of god—even if you don’t—please …

Yeah. I mean, truth be told, 2016 could have been one of the most boring election seasons. Instead, we wound up with all of this. So people feel like they actually have to turn on their TV. If anything, this election season has been a fight for cable providers against the big bad Internet full of millennials who have…

I have a hard time believing that Time Warner has a vested interested in keeping corporations rich.

But I forgave her. Obama forgave her. Sanders folks need to get over it. Your “muslimy” comment just discredits you and makes you sound like an ass.

At some point, the argument devolves into conversations about how the worst of your opponents’ supporters are the norm and how the dangerous liberal media is assailing your candidate by giving the others talking time. Anecdotes become sweeping generalizations, and the 2016 version of the 2008 primary is realized. If…
