“Leftist ideas” that used to be centrist ideas that Dems and Repubs agreed on, way back in the 70s, before the entire government was fully bought and paid for.

A ban on politicians over the age of 65 would solve a strikingly large number of our problems. Neither Trump nor Hillary Clinton would be in office. Neither would Pelosi, nor Hoyer, which means those old clowns wouldn’t have shot down AOC’s Green New Deal committee. Just another good idea from the Communist Party,…

Slate explained why so many Americans cite Cherokee as ancestry. The Cherokee were far more open and welcoming communities so they were more likely to reproduce with white people than other tribes.

“it’s all about turn out for them, not about swing voters”

If she’s a frontrunner and yet tripped over her own dick about an ridiculous issue over her own fucking heritage the Democrats are in deep, deep, deep shit.  Trump’s already living in her head.

Lot of people being really shittily dismissive of this. Everyone should take a look at the syllabus linked to get a better understanding of why you shouldn’t be acting like this is nothing. Saying “it’s just science” or “DNA doesn’t” lie ignores the fact that those parameters have been defined by people outside…

Whatever one’s thoughts on the severity of the issue, it is unassailable that its 100% her own damn fault that she had the DNA test done and published the results in such a manner. She deserves the backlash from it and she definitely deserves to have her fitness to run for president against trump questioned.

wanting lower taxes for rich people and wanting to deny everyone else their rights because you think you live in a fucking bubble instead of a society of interconnected people makes you a racist

super true, can’t tell you how many racists I know with bi racial kids

But if you love her, why is it that you feel you’re on the other side? And if she was still exactly the same and labeled herself a “very old-school conservative” instead of a “member of the DSA,” would it be the label that put her on your side? I’m asking this in seriousness, not in snark—if you love her, and whatever…

Starring for the fun fact. I’m comforted that it’s not just me that does this.

It says you’re on top of the world looking down on creation.

My Great Aunt used to have an aluminum tree in the late 60's, and she would have me come over to her bachelorette apartment downtown for the weekend to help assemble and decorate it. Every year she chose a different color scheme for the balls: all red, all blue, including same colored light strings. That whole…

Hey! HEYYYY. I unreservedly, unabashedly love The Carpenters. Except for that “Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Crafts” crap heap of a song. And maybe that “Sing, sing a song” song. That one’s a little Sesame Street bossy.

My family’s restaurant bought an aluminum tree in the 1950s and was still using it 35 years later. It was set up in one of our dining rooms with a spotlight shining on it that had a red, yellow, and blue gel rotating in front of it, making the tree reflect each color in turn.  So cool.

I love these trees so much! They’re my favorite. I have a really neato mid century architecture instagram that I wish I could share here but then my anonymity is gone...

I know nothing about her except that she ignored Australian quarantine laws and was married to Johnny Depp. Do spill...

In his defense, knowing Amer Heard the books was almost certainly by Ayn Rand. He did the world a favor. 

Yep and I’m going to say something that might be unpopular but Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s brand of feminism is terrible too.

I’m so torn between the obvious sense and sensibility of this, and the shoddy logic that affects parts of it. By even mentioning them, I become at best a concern troll, or perhaps something much worse. If you support a good position with poor logic, how much of it can be wrong before it becomes a bad argument? I…
