I, for one, look forward to giving up on AHS half way through the season and binge watching the rest on Netflix at a later date whilst particularly hungover. Which is how the show is meant to be watched.

This was all very... Cringey????

ehhh, It wasn’t Christian missionary work, it was Catholic. There is a difference. I’m assuming they frame it as Christian so as not to alinate the - large sigh - significant number of Christians who still don’t like Catholics and don’t, in fact, believe they are Christians.

Oh definitely, from members of my parish who are Republicans because “pro-life” is the only issue they ever consider and then there are some of my liberal friends who don’t quite understand that most Catholics aren’t the Opus Dei variety.

As a Latina voter, I like this about him. It shows that he’s accepting of others cultures. My dad is a Mexican immigrant, but an American citizen. He’s been here since he was 8, and he’s 61 now. He speaks both Spanish and English fluently. Whenever someone just starts speaking Spanish to him, he loves it. At a…

THIS comment needs more stars.

White girl here. I can see where the Spanish could be seen as cheesy, but I would have to think it beats the whole “OMG I can’t believe I have to press 1 for English— this is AMERICA y’all!!!” Which I literally had someone say to me a few months ago. Right before she told me Trump is a good businessman and asked me to…

The complaints are beyond insane. I’m really beginning to wonder if maybe America does deserve Donald Trump, as people just cannot be content and want to find something negative in everything. And as a Mexican, speaking for my family and just people I’ve known all my life, we do not get annoyed when white people try…

Yeah, that was a completely different govenor of Virginia.

Like I said earlier, some on the left are hell-bent on making perfect the enemy of good. Tim is a good guy and a solid pick for VP. Let’s pull together and win this damn thing.

As a Catholic, I appreciate that Tim Kaine is basically an old-school Catholic Democrat. He was educated by Jesuits, who are VERY social justice-oriented. Jesuits tend to be pretty radically liberal, and because they’re very education-focused, they tend to be highly educated, enlightened, tolerant people. You know how…

Those two points have been extensively debunked and contextualized. He was for deregulation of regional and small banks, not Wall Street, and not complete deregulation but making the regulations fit the needs of those institutions and the people that use them. And he is against the TPP. But ok I guess only you gets to…

In this context? No. His work as a Jesuit volunteer gets shorthanded to “missionary” but mostly he was doing skills training and labor in a country that was already pretty Catholic. JVC-type stuff is more about working and less about converting people. Plus recall context — Catholicism at the time in Latin America was…

Honduras is 47% Catholic and Christianity was introduced in the 16th century, so I’m not too sure how much gospel spreading was really necessary. Maybe they were just building houses in an already Catholic country because Jesus said helping was a nice thing to do.

He believes that regional banks and credit unions should not be regulated in the same way that investment bank are regulated. There is much more nuance to his banking stance than simply “digs bank deregulation”.

also a champion of civil rights and fighting for those who do not have a voice. how is that not progressive? c’mon. we can disagree on stuff and still not write each other off as not pure enough. right?

Not necessarily. He traveled as a missionary to basically do volunteer work in getting infrastructure set up, teaching carpentry and welding from a neutral standpoint. Being a missionary can either mean going out into the world to do good in order to help your own faith and find meaning and purpose behind it, or to…

The main thing I like about Kaine more than anything is that he very much aligns with my views on faith. I know for a fact that his conservative beliefs from a faith standpoint come nowhere near aligning with mine, but it’s the fact that he seems to understand that just because he believes these things does not mean…

His upbringing in Minnesota?? Screw you, he’s a Kansas boy!

Tim Kaine isn’t mad at the Republican party, he’s just disappointed.
