I absolutely agree.

These are all important points, because many people (including many on the left) really see Obama’s weakest point being on military matters. That’s why Clinton carries on his torch well. She moves forward with his policies, but brings more military knowhow to the table.

“America is at her best when she’s watching Netflix, pigging out on some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, and wearing those PJs that have Maxine from Hallmark on them. Then, I come up behind her and just snuggle in real close. We watch the entire new season of Case Closed, which just got picked up for American release, and we…

I’m eager not to get involved, then, if you really weren’t applauding that other person’s insinuation about the thread-starter’s race. I’m sure you were just about to call out the same people I was. But the fact that any of this even happened—and that you immediately thought my defense of another person has anything to…

Don’t be sad. Clinton was always a presumptive winner for this race. She’s a great candidate, even if we wanted a more liberal one; and the competitiveness and momentum of the Democratic race is good for all of us.

If you equate foreign policy experience to warhawking, then you’ll never have an anti-war president: A president that lets us focus on social issues and economic issues.

I’m not even talking about Clinton and Sanders, or politics.

The way your side deals with liberals who have a difference of opinion has gotten increasingly more problematic. It’s predicated on “oh snap” moments and insinuations about the people to whom you are speaking. Your fellow Clinton supporter is busy testing this woman’s gender, because she’s a Sanders supporter. It’d be…

You don’t have to prove anything about your identity to some Internet troll. She brought up, of her own volition, what she figured my race and gender to be because of my liberal positions; and has been kinja-stalking people since Day One for the crime of being too liberal during an election season.

His point is this: The only way for everyone to stop bickering is for the left to concede to the center. Basically, “if the left doesn’t forfeit to the center, the right will win”. It’s the ultimatum we’re told every election season.

Right. It’s a point that the self-described liberals around here make all the time, to remind us about how far we are behind the rest of the world in terms of social democratic progress. It’s a point that gets dropped like a hot rock, whenever it’s election season and it’s time to reinforce the status quo.

Every four years the economic left makes the same compromise. But the right just keeps getting crazier, and dragging the center in their direction.

I’m not saying women are fairly represented in politics, by a long shot. I just think that, even in their small minority, there are many highly-qualified women that could serve as president.

Women come into the game with a lack of military experience?

I love all of these celebrities who voted for my candidate, but I hate all of these celebrities who voted for the other candidate. To be honest, I’ve always hated their movies/TV shows/music/books!

And by extension, Carly Fiorina was further to the right, more intelligent, and more experienced than most people in the GOP field. Where is she now?

A centrist man would have already won the election by now. A woman has to be (a) as far to the middle (or right) as possible, (b) as experienced as possible, and (c) as hard-working as possible.

Seriously. Everyone wants to be the underdog. Especially the people who are currently in the majority.

America is not the best place for oppressed people to live. It’s why some of them are considering mobilizing and fighting for economic justice and civil rights.

Thank you.
