Except nobody mentioned the word “racist” until you did. My personal opinion is that the Sanders base swung so severely because Sanders ran a campaign premises largely upon mistrust of the political system and the people within it - including Clinton. Whether you want to admit it or not, Trump and Sanders had some…

Except you totally didn’t answer my question. You showed me a table for the 2008 and 2012 elections when we are not discussing those at all. We are discussing the 2016 shift of young white people from Sanders in the primaries to Trump in the general. Throughout the primaries, polls consistently showed that a majority…

Except it wasn’t disenchanted Hillary supporters who flipped to the GOP in giant numbers - that was Sanders’ base. Look at what I posted above.

Ahem...LMGTFY, via Bloomberg:

Um...no. Clinton was not the ideal candidate, but she was the best possible shot at winning.

Except nobody here has said Hillary was a perfect candidate - you did that one all by yourself. What has been pointed out is that Sanders riled up his base (a base that you conveniently forget crossed party lines and went for Trump in the general) in a way that seeded a long-lasting distrust of Clinton and a fervor…

Except most analyses show that black votes were not down across the board , as one might expect with a lack of enthusiasm. The largest dips occurred in states that actively too steps to spread the vote after the in validation of the VRA. It had little to do with a lack of enthusiasm and more to do with supressing…

Uh, dude:

No, it’s okay. Bernie is not blameless in this. Sure, he campaigned for Hillary after the convention - AFTER he spent a primary season referring to her as a Wall Street puppet, a cog in a corrupt system, untrustworthy, “unqualified” to be President, etc. How quickly people forget that Bernie’s bread and butter - young…

Killing gay people: yay!

Also:

Oh, don’t tempt it. I’m bracing for whatever death is stored up for December 31st at 11:45pm. You know it’s coming, you just know.

They don’t read it - trust me. They read Genesis, get to the Curse of Ham, and say, “Oh, that does it. Darkies are evil.”

I think the Kushners either 1.) live in a profound state of cognitive dissonance or 2.) excuse it by saying “he’s not talking about US - he means those other, liberal Jews.”

You do not need to pay for this. Go on Amazon and, for less than $5, purchase a wire head scratcher. Seriously. I got mine for like $2, and it’s the best investment I ever made.

I disagree. Rockwell actually altered the picture to ONLY include Ruby. He also cut off the heads of the white marshalls escorting her, for emphasis.

The crazy thing is that I used to look at those pictures and think “People were so hateful then, thank God we’re past that now.” And now, to realize we’re not past it by a long shot. We have a chief advisor in the White House who openly stated that he did not want his children to go to school with Jewish children.…

I don’t think she wins any arguments about the sentence. The majority of whistleblowers are civilians. Did her attorney not explain to her that military personnel, having sworn an oath of loyalty upon induction, are generally held to higher standards in cases like these? She seems to genuinely not know that military…

Thanks for clarifying. That being said, I wonder if this list does a decent job of really relaying the scope of transphobia. I do wonder how many of them are classified as probable or confirmed bias crimes. Then again, given how marginalized trans people are, I’d be predisposed to think that there is almost always…

Except I didn’t. I pointed out that law enforcement seemed to almost want to get in front of it by pointing out that it was not a bias crime because the victim’s trans status had nothing to do with crime - it was a revenge killing for the victim’s theft from the killer. My point was that I wasn’t sure whether her…
