Sometimes, I go full Time Cube conspiracy nut, and the bold and italics become the NORM.

You’re contending that modern intersectional feminists are the same people as those long-dead World War I busybodies handing out feathers to draft dodgers? Your problem seems to be that you can’t distinguish one woman from another, even those that lived a full century ago who were clearly sexists. One may as well say,…

Yeah. It’s a Sword of Damocles. I mean, there’s a near-zero chance that a modern, Western nation would resort to using the draft again. It’s probably why the wording hadn’t been changed in so long. But it’s there.

It seems good, but—in practice—how often does the senator’s son have to go off to war, compared to Creedence Clearwater Revival?

I swear, Boehner had some kind of divine epiphany and became briefly human over the last year or two. He’s still a Republican, but he spends most afternoons staring into puddles at his own brazen image asking: “Who... am I?”

The draft is shit. Liberal feminists have always said it’s shit. It was shit before women were forced into it. It’s still shit now. This isn’t a “gotcha” moment for anyone. Turns out mandatory requirements and restrictions are—as they have always been—the exact opposite of civil liberty, and the anarcho-socialist…

Hey, 19th Century Freudian psychiatrist here. This is a classic case of Electra complex. I recommend a tincture of laudanum, sometime before the Cleveland convention.

I think I had meant to say “Green in 2012 and 2004". I wrote “Stein in 2012" before I thought to mention 2004 also.

It’s legitimately all Reagan’s fault. He killed the middle-class, he turned the keys to the nation over to corporations, allowed those businesses to organize against workers and stockpile their capital, gave us the “trickle down” lie while he chained up Adam’s Smith’s invisible hands to make sure it never came to…

I agree. And there’s no Green Party down-ballots, so if you’re going to vote liberal, you still need to put thought (perhaps more thought) into the value of your vote. The weight of it. Your vote has value, even if you cast it for someone in a party you don’t often agree with.

Right. And another thing is: There’s an actual battle in the Democratic Party, on the issue of policy. There are differences. The Democrats are composed of self-described liberals and moderates (and even conservatives), small government social libertarians as well as pro-worker socialists. It’s a bigger tent. So…

You could argue that voting Democrat is wasting your vote in Texas, or voting Republican is wasting your vote in California. They practically have “no chance of winning”. But I get what your saying; and I also know the political process is predicated mainly on fear.

I voted Jill Stein in 2012 and 2004. In 2012, we still got Obama which is spectacular. In 2004, I was single-handedly responsible for handing West Virginia to Bush—or so my centrist friends told me.

Clinton’s favorability levels off in a general election, I think. Liberals think she’s too far right, conservatives think she’s too far left; but this is only because they feel they have other options. When she gets to speak her message to a general electorate (instead of just the left), she’ll be able to show how her…

Even if 90% of the country thought it was wrong, we couldn’t fix it. You need the right 10% to be on board, and fixing the problem needs to be profitable to them.

“Democrats love it, libertarians love it, conservatives love it,” says Atkinson.

Sure. I’m just saying I don’t think the bloggers are contrarian. There are several bloggers, with varying ideas about liberalism and feminism, that don’t always align with Clinton’s ideas and actions.

I made this same joke, dammit, it’s the best joke!

You don’t have to wear your shirt and tie just because The Boss is here.

You’re going to change your tune in 10 or 20 years, when this equality trickles down to you.
