Ooh, another fav :

I’m very worried that a lot of these newly “woke” bernie supporters are just going to drop out entirely if they don’t get their way. call it a hunch.

Ok, so I had a bunch of white people telling me how minorities should vote for Bernie because he’s obviously so good for us and why can’t we just realise that??!!

It does make me additionally concerned about what his reaction will be when 0% of his legislative agenda makes it through his first term due to the Republicans' geographical advantages in the House.

JFC. Democrats are being handed this election to them on a silver fucking platter, and they want to set it on fire. Support your candidate, don’t denigrate the other, and whoever wins the nod, vote -D. It’s really not that fucking hard.

I like this one

I do love a millennial who thinks 40 years olds are so old we don’t know what the internet is or how to use it. (do they not teach the history of the technology in school?)

Paternity leave is crucial. Some of the Scandinavian countries actually make paternity leave manditory. Yes, maternity leave is also required, but to make sure no one gets in the mindset of “oh, that’s HER job, she’s taking care of that”, make sure the dude has plenty of alone time with the kid too. A “confused”

Jesus, it sounds as if you are describing how democracy actually works. Who would have thunk that possible here?

A vote for Trump is also a vote for war. A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump, basically. Stein won’t win, and voting for Stein steals votes from Clinton only. There are no would-be Trump voters who will say “Actually, he isn’t perfect, let me vote for Stein.” It’s all would-be Clinton voters who would then

Just keep in mind that a vote for Stein (or whoever isn’t the Dem nominee) is a vote for Trump or, even worse, Cruz. That should weigh more heavily on your conscious. Take it from someone who voted for Nader in 2000. Learn from my foolish mistakes.

It isn’t fear mongering. It is reality. If the past 6 years have showed you anything, it’s that SCOTUS is really the last branch left in the federal government that can cause real change. Congress has become a children’s day care center where a “good day” is one where nobody picks a fight with someone else such that

People who want to make sure they have an ideologically pure voting record at the expense of real people getting hurt by letting a Republican win really make my heart hurt.

What fucking kind of “revolution” does she think is going to happen? Has she forgotten that all of Trump’s dumbfuck supporters are the ones with the guns?

Since Sarandon isn’t going to suffer the most consequences under the Trump presidency, or for that matter under any general breakdown of society, I would kindly request that she not opine about revolutions here. (Also, as bad as Trump would be, I don’t see “revolution” really being a possibility here. Protests? Sure.

Oh please, the Catholic church is the richest fucking entity and literally owns more land than any other business or group on earth. Religion is a business, especially Catholicism. It is not hateful to criticize them.

I’m Hindu, it is my sincerely held religious belief that eating meat is a sin. It’s literally on the same level as murder (which is what these nuns say BC is). Am I allowed to “opt out” of covering my employees for any medical conditions that have been linked to red meat consumption? (Red meat consumption has been

This whole birth control argument sends me into a blind rage. What happened to the stories about the Catholic nuns who were in support of the ACA? I think I saw a quote by a Catholic nun once that said something about if you want a child born but don’t also want to ensure it is fed, housed and educated, then you can’t

I’m so sick of businesses being treated as people with religions. If you employ people, you should have to follow the law, regardless of your religious beliefs, full stop. If your religion conflicts with these laws, go into another line of work where there isn’t a conflict. Neither your employees nor your customers

I have absolutely lost my tolerance for people who use religion as an excuse to not follow the laws of the land. I don't care what anyone worships, but religion should not excuse anyone from having to follow the law. Laws exist to give everyone (hypothetically) the same rights and make sure that we all play by the
