“Your logic is juvenile”? OP didn’t even present a logic, just answered your pop-in question about times when Clinton has had a change of mind/heart.

“Saint Bernard” is more than a little problematic, but I’ve thankfully heard it more from the Breitbart crowd than Democrats. The fact that Doyle would start blocking people for pointing it out? That’s the odd place we’re at in this election now...

I can relate. I think it’s because no one likes to feel like they’re being hectored by some smug person who thinks they’re on the left (or uses that position as personal capital). And it’s happened to all of us. People will judge your views, people will tell you that you’re only voting to be “where the boys are”, or…

Ugh. I just thought Dawson was doing good by joining a protest against corporate corruption. People in this thread wanted us to know Dawson is just a poser, late to the game, a fake. So we defended her and her cause. That’s all.

(Gray, so I don’t know who’ll see this. I mainly want to post it to get something off my chest, and have it around for posterity.)

Also, my conservative uncle calls himself “progressive” and wants to vote for Kasich. There’s no “one true progressive”, but surely there’s a spectrum and surely we can agree that Kasich’s not on it. Even though he’s “more moderate” (read: less insane) than some of the GOP.

No, but some people are more progressive than others and some people fight for progressive causes. If your only criterion for progressive is “more liberal than Ted Cruz”, you will accept nearly any politician ever as being equally progressive. There are different axes of progress, too. Clinton fights for progressive…

That you didn’t pay attention until right now does not mean I’m a conservative shill, it means I’m more civically engaged than you.

You say I’m making up imaginary people. The thread topper was ‘Give me a fucking break. This ain’t a Freedom March. “putting ourselves on the line,” please.’

I cannot possibly know whose supporters are worse.

But Dawson is a Republican. She’s a white dude in his mid-20s! She’s, uh... hm... a Reddit-user? She’s a latte liberal. If you have enough money to speak on behalf of the poor, you’re basically a hypocrite! She’s—fuck, what else are we supposed to hate?—a video game consumer? A Gawker commenter? I—uh—she is—that is to…

I don’t know why anyone thinks the term “liberal” should be important to all Democrat voters. The party is less than half liberals. If you have many moderate or conservative positions to go with liberal ones, you shouldn’t be clamoring to use the term “liberal”. At some point, some positions aren’t a liberal purity…

I’m amazed at how many people are anti-protest around here. The left used to rally really well. People are sad liberals don’t show up for elections, but simultaneously roll their eyes when they do choose to assemble.

This is some of the best kinja I’ve read in a long time. Well put together, informative, and elucidating to both anime fans and the un-initiated.

She was right to bring it up. Who was ever going to prompt them?

They care about their right to defend their house. They don’t care about your house. Your body, your sexuality, your religion; they don’t care.

By refusing to ask the Democrats about abortion, our major media sources allow Republicans to continue to control the conversation.

I don’t know how we can explain 2016's election without conspiracy theories, at this point.

I think it’s inconsistent to be upset about “superpredator”, “colored people time”, and people who call all Bernie supporters “bros”; while simultaneously giving the usage of “whore” a pass. I think acting like the word “asshole” is the same is a weird excuse; I think people looking to excuse this behavior by…

I imagine the average Gawker commenter has a pair of tiny spectacles at the end of a long gilded rod, for the purposes of dictionary-reading.
