So, being unfair is not unfair and being the DNC chair means you should more or less openly favor the perceived frontrunner, to make this whole process as undemocratic as possible? Uhmm, got it.

So, you don’t think a major political party, whose constitution requires them to be nuetral during the primary process, working to give an advantage to one candidate over all others is something to be concerned about?

How are you ever going to expect real change to happen if you always keep voting for the lesser of two evils though? It comes to making a short-term sacrifice for long-term gain. If more people who wanted to vote their conscience instead of strategic voting did just that, things would actually start to change. I’m…

Yeah, but that’s in Canada Dollars, so I mean, that’s what, barely $25,000? Fuckin’ Canadia.

He probably isn’t that bad. There area subtle nuances at play when works are translated into English from the original Canadian.

interesting way to dig a trench.

Cycling analyst Patrick Redford says the Ryan brothers have good form, because their pedal strokes appear to be synchronized.

99.9% of this is tired, inane misogynist drivel, but I think we do have to acknowledge that there may be a nugget of truth here. I grew up in Maine, which is very white and very poor — like squatting on someone’s property in a trailer with no running water poor. There are people I’ve met who are life-long New Yorkers…

What, like any of them? Not even people like child survivors of sexual assault by members of the Catholic church. Those would certainly fit the definition of persecuted American Christians. Or are those downtrodden members of that social worthy of your empathy. If so, where do you draw the line? At what point does…

Well, the commenter specified downtrodden white men. I don’t know about you, but to feel such antipathy toward a social group to the point you can’t even feel empathy for those of that group who are in grinding poverty, even if that social group as a whole may be more privileged than others, strikes me as particularly…

Listen, people who are cis white men can be disadvantaged, e.g. economically disadvantaged, disadvantaged by class, discrimination against people who are not able-bodied or who are not mentally well, discriminated against if their are LGBTQ etc., however they are not disadvantaged on the basis of either their race or…

This is a fantastic read, and helps bring out something else that those on the left continue to overlook, their role in perpetuating the infighting....

They’re all children. They all need help after this.

why do they need to do jail time? If it was consensual and all the boys are under 18. Or do you think all sex by people under 18 is rape?

...“The sex has been broadly described as consensual”...

again, he is 16 years old...so he can’t consent either. Is every sexual encounter among minors rape?

I completely understand that and do sincerely hope that the girl gets help for her issues and for her future.

He’s 16, she’s 15, and by all accounts it was consensual.

So if she’s disliked simply because she’s a woman, then how can you have any honest discussion about the numerous reasons she shouldn’t be President? At the end of the day, you can dismiss all arguments as “Well of course they’d say that, she’s a woman”. It can’t possibly be because of her handling of this email…

Massive pro-Israel lobby with lots of money influencing the US govt. Not sure about the public though.
